UCLA or Arizona NOT in WCWS final

guest — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:35:57 GMT

For the first time since 1986, we will see a WCWS final match-up that does not include Arizona or UCLA.

Incredible.

For more than 20 years the finals in Oklahoma City have involved one of those two teams. Do you think this marks a significant shift in where the talent is in college softball and that we'll continue to see new, different programs (like Arizona State this year) make it to the finals--or will UCLA and Arizona get right back to their post-season dominance in years to come?

And dropped the ball (understandably) as well. Insult to injury.

Though not a pretty sight, glad to see the surgery was a success.

It is Northwestern's for the taking now!

This is such a simple drill but it gives you the feedback pitchers need to know right away. I love it because you can do it anywhere and you don't need fancy equipment. Thanks for sharing the video!

Re: High school ball in the fall?

Oklahoma plays their high school softball in the fall as well. I think it makes more sense for states a little more north where the weather is more likely to be inclement in the spring than in the fall. Rather, the portion of the season that gets cold in the fall is so small to the large pectentage of games that are freezing in the spring season!

Re: What level would you prefer to coach?

guest — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 03:32:34 GMT

I'd like to coach high school girls. I would really enjoy prepping them for college ball and helping facilitate the recruiting process. It's such a pivotal time in the career for young ladies looking to continue playing. I think I would handle that challenge and responsibility well.

Re: Softball Movies

Ya know, my initial reaction was..."how could you forget A League of Their Own!?"

But that is clearly about women playing baseball. Guess it shows how even a huge fan of softball and that movie can get caught up in the gender norm associated with baseball and softball. Along that note... has anyone watched men's fastpitch softball?? Amazing.

Do you think softball can get voted back into the Olympics?

guest — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:51:19 GMT

With the Beijing Olympics quickly approaching, it's sad to think softball (and baseball) won't be around for the next summer games.

Do you think softball has the global popularity to belong in the Olympics?

I've also heard that the steroid issue in baseball is the main reason it got voted off the Olympic program and that softball got kind of lumped in with that. Anyone think there might be some truth to that?

California vs. the rest of the nation

guest — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:43:04 GMT

I've heard it said in the past couple years that California is losing their edge and that the rest of the country is quickly closing the competitive gap.

Do you think it's fair to say that the rest of the country is catching up to California's historical dominance?
