MU Softball: #6 Tigers @ #22 Okie State Cowgirls
The Tigers travel BACK down to Stillwater for a one-game affair against the Poke'ettes. In their first game (reviewed here), the Tigers cruised in a dominant, 5-0 win. Chelsea Thomas was amazing, facing only one batter over the minimum and K'ing 13 in the effort. On the offensive side, Princess Krebs went yard and Jenna Marston had two doubles and scored two runs.
With a win today, the Tigers will keep pace in their attempt to at least share the Big XII Regular Season Championship (and collect a trophy). They will still have two games this weekend against ISU, while UT has but one game remaining against Baylor. Should UT fall and the Tigers win out, they will own the title outright. If both teams win out, then I believe we will be Co-Champs
As we get ready for the game, here are some other lovely links about the ladies:
- Thomas is a Player of the Year finalist
- Mizzou is also awesome in the classroom
- Watch Party for the tournament selection is coming up
- Ticket information about a possible Regional Bid
Let's Go Tigers!

Waiting on Gametracker to get going
Weather is not supposed to be a factor today

Partly cloudy and 74 in OKC right now. Weather shouldn't be a program unless the field
is too muddy from yesterday’s rain. Stillwater got about 1.5 inches, but hopefully field was covered.
Even in Mexico....kU SUCKS!
If both win out, it is likely we will be co-champs..
However technically we will probably lose the tie breaker because after head to head it is run differential and they are about 25 ahead of us at the moment so we would need some blowouts over the last 3 games.

I dont think the conference gets down that far
At least if football is any indicator, I imagine they will just call it co-champs and ship matching trophies

I believe that tiebreakers are only used for seeding purposes in the conference tournament.
In every other sport anyways … they recognize co-champs.
Well they do go down that far to determine the automatic qualifier for the NCAA's
Now obviously we will be in, but they do still use the tiebreaker.

Oh my goodness! OK State took one look at Thomas and threw in the towel.
The game is over before it began. :)
Gametracker still not opened yet for the game....

SB: We were just about to get started and then the umps noticed puddles on the warning track, so they are fixing that…
Rhea Taylor bunt single.
Becomes the second player in Big XII history to reach 300 career hits.
Rhea Taylor is uh-mazing.

No love on Gametracker...

Ugh.
Infield hit, E5T on the next batter gets runners at the corners, and a groundout to 2B scores OSU’s first run.
For those with broadband
You can watch for free at http://www.okstate.com/allaccess/?media=244522. The audio is HORRENDOUS, but apparently better than our pitching and defense relative to this season’s first matchup between the two teams.
HOME RUN!

I don't know what's worse
Implying that the importance of the death is that it allows a change in their depth chart or pimping the kid’s death as a rumor to help sell their insider service.
Rational Mizzou Talk, whether you like us or not.
It's worse paired with worse
All around bad.

Somebody is getting fired for that one.

no doubt
They shouldn’t say $2.50/month to access the complete rumor. It should be $2.50 per month to access the complete story.
Probably the person for Sports Illustrated that didn't think of it first.
That is an awful way to word that situation.

So basically, all we have to do to split the title is sweep one of the worst teams in the Big 12
while playing at home. That sounds too good to be true. We better take care of business big-time.
Indeed.
And Baylor won’t be a cakewalk for Texas. Ask our girls.
It's @Texas.
But they are not immune at home. Oklahoma was able to split with them, and Baylor is just as good as OU. Texas already won at Baylor, but you never can predict these type of late-season games.
Plus BU is playing for positioning...
They probably think they need to win the game in Austin to have a shadow of a chance to host a Regional (if they bid)

Look at this for comparison
In the league (in the current standings order) the Tigers…
split at home vs. UT
sweep at home vs. A&M
split at BU
sweep at home vs. OU
sweep at OSU
split at NU
sweep at TTU
play at home vs. ISU
sweep at kU

Here are the top 25 teams in the NCAA RPI (in numerical order)...
1-5 Texas, Arizona State, Alabama, Florida, Georgia
6-10 Mizzou, California, Arizona, Oklahoma, Michigan
11-15 Washington, Baylor, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Oregon
16-20 Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, UCLA, Stanford
21-25 Houston, Kentucky, LSU, Nebraska, Louisville
You have to think that at least one of the regionals goes to the Northeast to a UMass or someone like that. Otherwise, how do you think the Regionals break out?
There is a God and I'm not it, after that EVERYTHING is subjective. Be careful for what you wish for, you just might GET IT!
I see...
Regionals to UT, ASU, Bama (If they can handle it), UF, UGA, MU, Cal, AZ, OU, Mich, UW, Tenn, Ore, ND, UCLA, and UH.
If Bama can’t host, then that one will go to Louisville.
There is a God and I'm not it, after that EVERYTHING is subjective. Be careful for what you wish for, you just might GET IT!
I can't see Bama hosting anything.
My sister is in school there, and from the way she talks about it, them hosting anything seems quite unlikely for a while. While campus is mostly fine, I can’t see them wanting to bring any amount of extra people in to town right now.
I know...
but you just can’t leave out Bama until they actually tell the NCAA that they can’t. Their Regional also might become the Northeast bone to UMass….
