Since the football chatter is down to nothing, let's talk softball. The WCWS starts in Oklahoma City on Thursday (May 31). ESPN2 will televise from noon to midnite--

South Florida vs #4 Oklahoma
LSU vs #1 Cal
#7 Tennessee vs #2 Alabama
#11 Oregon vs #3 ASU

Mostly SEC vs PAC. Let the games begin.

Since the Gumps bounced UF out of the SEC tourney, I'll follow that old perverse logic of predicting that the team that put my team out will be the one to go all the way, so GirlGumps it is.

USF bumped UF out of the NCAA tourney. Now the Bulls would be a bold pick.

In or out of the WCWS, Tim Walton should be Coach of the Year. At that point of the season, most coaches by far would have settled for a solution that kept those 3 players in the lineup. Brass cajones.

Did anyone ever tweet or otherwise disclose what happened between Coyle and the Fagan sisters?

I kinda conveniently ignored that aspect. ;-)

The Lady Vols will take it all, providing the Big Orange a spot of brightness amidst the gloom.

Did you see the Super Regionals against UGA? What's with the blue trim on the Lady Vols' uniforms? Conflicted Gator Haters? :)

Powder blue, like Saban's leisure suit. I don't care for it. Gimme orange & white, and if you need a boarder contrast to make the numbers stand out, go with thin black outline.

First 2 games in the books; according to the seedings. Congrats to OU and Cal. Should make for a good match tomorrow night.

June 1, 2012  12:22 AM ET

Congrats to Bama and ASU in the late games. Top 4 seeds to the winner's bracket tomorrow. 4 strong teams should make for 2 good games.

Thanks....was watching that and Miss State on ESPN3 with that split screen. Never tried that before....really kind of neat.

Congrats also to Bama. They beat #1 Cal to get in the finals with OU. Should be an excellent series.

First time in 26 years there is no PAC-12 team in the finals.

Yes....West Coast has been dominate in Women's FastPitch Softball forever. Lately (last 10-15 years) the teams from Florida have started to get stronger and now teams along the Gulf Coast are picking up.

Aside from that, there have always been some teams in the interior (Michigan jumps out at me for some reason) who popup from time to time.

And I am talking Women's/Girls FastPitch at a local level...not College where they draw from all over and can stock their teams with girls from California, Washington, Florida, etc

OU wins first game of finals, 4-1. Good game.

June 5, 2012  07:49 AM ET

One more....tonight....

Do or die game for Bama. OU on the board first.
