We play today and Saturday.

Is it going to be on Sooner All-Access?

[perryj]

I believe all games are being shown on the ESPN family of networks as well as on-line at ESPN3.

[SoonerofAlabama]

All I have been able to find on TV softball-wise is Oregon and Florida.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Okay, well here is espn3. com's coverage:

[perryj]

I would assume that's because most of the games don't start until later. ESPNU looks like it will be carrying games all day with ESPN picking up the coverage around 6. The OU vs Arizona game is scheduled to be on ESPNU at 10:30pm.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Well, I am in Alabama and I think the coverage of the Sooners game ends in Mississippi. So I just might have to watch it online.

[perryj]

It looks as if that's the only game scheduled to be on at that time so it will likely be a national broadcast on ESPN2 as well.

[SoonerofAlabama]

No, on my TV the 10:30 for ESPN2 is the French Open. I'll just watch it online.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Has the game started yet? The NCAA website says 11:30 ET, but I haven't seen a score yet.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Upon second glance, I notice it says 11:30 p.m. ET.

[humblesooner]

Should be on nationwide at 10:30 PM CDT on ESPNU.

[Blue]

Yeah. ESPNU here.

[SoonerofAlabama]

No, but if you watch the game today they will show a highlight of it for sure.

[C&CDean]

It's supposed to be on regular ESPN today. At least we have something positive going on in the Sooner world...Lord knows pretty much everything else is sucking the big one right now.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Yes, maybe a Sooner win will cheer me up. It is a beatiful day outside and yet it is still gloomy.

[SoonerNate]

They're on ESPN at the moment.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Another home run for Ricketts!!!! A two-run homerun!!!!!

[SoonerNate]

Oh great, now the umps are taking shots at our girls. WTF is an illegal pitch?

[oumartin]

Shame we gotta share the stage with those from stoolwater

[SoonerofAlabama]

They were pretty lucky to make it here. It easily could have been Houston.

[Sooner95]

Good stuff. congrats!

Shame we gotta share the stage with those from stoolwaterLife is learning to accept the bad along with the good.

[NormanPride]

lol Texas

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

lol TexasKMAMOFOs Texas

[SoonerMarkVA]

Wow. The XII is favored to have 4 of the 8 CWS teams. And one of them won't be Texas! That would be amazing and hilarious all at the same time.

[soonerrhea]

Just curious is it automatic that OU faces Arizona St in the first game as ASU is the #1 overall seed and OU is #9 or do they reseed when they get to the wcws

[SoonerofAlabama]

That part of the WCWS is already decided. We play Arizona State for sure.

[BlackwellSooner]

Just curious is it automatic that OU faces Arizona St in the first game as ASU is the #1 overall seed and OU is #9 or do they reseed when they get to the wcws

I had the same question, found out that seeds were predetermined, didn't like the answer.

And I still fail to see why the CWS field could not be re-seeded after super regionals are over. If, as seems likely, Mizzou, Baylor and Cal complete the field of 8, both Oklahoma State and Baylor would be lower initial seeds than would OU, thus Oklahoma State would get the honor of facing the #1 seed Arizona State instead of us.
Here is how I would see a re-seeded CWS field appearing:

#1 ASU
#2 ALA
#3 FLA
#4 Mizzou (assuming a split today)
#5 GA or Baylor (who knows, but GA is all over Baylor 14-2 in bottom of the 5th of the 2nd game). Winner of the 3rd game will advance...
#6 CAL
#7 OU
#8 OSU

I think that if the higher seeds drop out in the regionals and super-regionals, that the lower seeds should move up in the pecking order, and a re-seeding done.

[SoonerBread]

I don't disagree with the re-seeding thoughts, but if they're gonna be WCWS champs, they would probably need to beat them (ASU) anyway. Might as well face them right out of the gate.

If we don't win it, I'm fine with anyone but orange aggy, Mizzou, FU and Bammer.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

I guess the question is about the match-up. I assume the aces will face each other in Game 1. Is that better or worse for us?

I guess the question is about the match-up. I assume the aces will face each other in Game 1. Is that better or worse for us?It's not that unusual for a women's softball pitcher to pitch two games in a row, either.
