    Because we have 1 loss and Oklahoma has none.....we will have the beat Oklahoma twice to get to the finals....so this thread is for Game 1.

    (8) Stanford plays (1) Texas at 7pm on ESPN2 and are in the same boat as us.

    I don't know when our second game will start but let's get through Game 1 first and then we'll see....

    GO Gators!!!

    I think if we win Monday our 2nd game would be on Tuesday.

    When was the last time that Oklahoma's ace pitcher was NOT a transfer from another school?

    After watching UCLA's lefty lineup fail miserably against Maxwell, I wonder if we will see Walton start as many righty hitters as possible?

    If he were to do so, then you have just removed several of our best hitters......

    The Gators got into the 2011 WCWS finals by beating Alabama twice on the same day, coming out of the Losers bracket. So we can do this!

    Feel better about the type of pitchers OU has, relies more on flamethrowing rather than drop and change up. I knew the Gators would be in trouble with a pitcher like Mac Morgan.

    UF will likely score a few runs but can either Rothrock or Brown keep the OU scoring down to give the Gators a chance. My heart says yes, but my head says no.

    The bottom line though is it's just a game and anything can happen when the teams go out between the lines.

    Go Gators! Beat the Sooners!

    Dang, the softball game is going to run into the baseball game.

    EDIT: Looks to me like both games are going to be set back, but especially the softball game:

    NWS Radar (weather.gov)

    Hard to believe that this will pass through to get the game started by 12:36 CT, Oklahoma City time.

    Right, so all we have to do is win two straight elimination games against the most dominant dynasty in modern college softball. Tell you what, we pull this off and it's going down in the history books.

    we’re sitting here at Hatch restaurant downtown OKC, the way it’s coming down, I expect a wet field. There seems to be a window between noon and 6:00 then rain all evening.
