Softball SuperRegionals Open Thread

The Ragin Cajuns come to town and play the Mighty Michigan Softball Team.  Vegas Odds has us a 1.5 run favorite with a 11.5 O/U for Fridays game, we are the favorite to win the series as well.

In other Super Regional Action, in Normal Oklahoma, Oklahoma takes on Texas Agricultural & Mechanical.  The recent storms that produced an EF-5 tornado, did some damage to the playing fields.  The field is unplayable and no date has been announced for when the game can be played.

Later tonight Washington travels to Missouri.  Missouri is favored in that match up.

Why start this?

The game is not until tomorrow!! Probably should make that more clear in the thread.

I'm confused as well.

2:00 ESPNU tomorrow, then Saturday 12:00 ESPN. What's the thread tonight for, MGoSoftball?

Edit: Was the title always just "Softball Super Regionals Open Thread"? Withdraw the question if so, I just didn't think it was.

The Super Regionals

started today.  I realize that most people do not care about any other team than M.  However there are a few of us diehard softball fans that appreciate some good softball.

Washington just tied up Mizzu in the top of the 7th.

Wait...

The "Over/Under" is 11.5?!?  The pitchers' ERAs are 1.67 (Michigan's Sara Driesenga) and 1.73 (Jordan Wallace of ULL).  The teams gave up a combined 1 run last weekend in 6 games total--Michigan gave up 1 run in 3 games and ULL gave up 0 runs in 3 games.  I'm picking the "under" as my Lock of the Week.

I didn't believe it either.

Just looked it up and apparently it's listed as a line somewhere. Given that you would have to triple the last score to hit the over, I'm guessing this sportsbook will just be lucky if there isn't much action taken (which I have to guess will be the case).

Considering my weekly in-season post...

was all centered on Vegas and had LSA as a regular, plus jamiemac doing his thing and Brian seeming to pick along Vegas lines in his preview, I'd say go for it.

About the thread, I originally thought the thread title referenced M playing. OTOH I came back to the apartment today and passed out for quite a while, so I was pretty groggy when I read it the first time. An open thread for M wouldn't have made much sense, but like I said above, question withdrawn if this had been the title the whole time.

Funny they wear those military uniforms and all that other weird garbage if they aren't actually related to any sort of military...

The Texas A&M Corp of Cadets is sort of like ROTC.  42% of the Corp receive military commissions, the same as if they were graduates of West Point, Annapolis and Air Force. Until 1964, participation in the Corps was mandatory for all Texas A&M students.  During WW II, Texas A&M produced more commissioned U.S military officers than the U.S military academies combined.

Exactly. It's really an impressive tradition, especially to see in person. I can only assume that the poster you were responding to thought the "M" stood for "military"?

Wow! What an 8th inning!

I was ready to give them up for dead and they pulled it out!  4-3 Michigan wins.
