Re: Rant....
 

No one ever questioned the accomplishment of the Wolverines, and yes, I was cheering for them.

Yes, occasionally they did mention "East of the Mississippi". However, more than a few times the announcers mentioned the East and representing the East Coast including during the final interview with coach and players.

BTW, looking at a 12 ounce glass, whether half full or half empty, it is still only 6 ounces of whatever. Sorry, I cannot help that I'm not a jump up and down rah-rah like some, not everyone can meet your standards of excitement.

While I'm at it, was anyone else disappointed that UM chose to hit away with runners at 1st & 2nd and no outs late in the game?

Re: Rant....
 

Neither ... as an engineer, I look at it as having a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be! ;)

Nice to see no umpires have lost their neutrality.

I would have been flipping out if I saw this topic title and was still waiting to watch a tape or TiVo.

Even though my heart bleeds "Maize and Blue", I will ALWAYS root for the BIG 10!!!!! It's nice to say that a BIG 10 team won an NCAA Softball Championship!!!

"Maize"? Is that Michigander for yellow?

yes..

Re: Re: Rant....
 

hmmmmm. I always take into account how the glass was befor it got "halfway". If it was empty it is now half full. If it started full it is now half empty. I hope this helps some of you somehow. Brian

Yeah Blue!
 

And, as strange as it seemed to the Illinois & Ohio St. poster to root for Michigan, how about someone from Pac-10 country rooting for a Big-10 team against a Pac-10 team?

The answer is when a local player goes to Michigan!

Congratulations LoriLyn Wilson from Sprague High in south Salem, OR! (Of the thousands of kids I've umpired or otherwise worked with, she's my first "alum." to get to a DI National Championship game.)

Maybe not disappointed, but I did mentioned to the group I was watching with. Seemed
odd at that point that they did not. Guess she knew things would eventually
work out.

Don't know if anyone else has noticed a difference... but a had a couple of games tonight and everybody - coaches, parents, players - was talking about the games. It was 12U, and I think watching the games on TV was the first time many of them had seen the very highest level of softball. They all seemed to think the series was the greatest thing ever (despite the lack of offense).

Yes, congrats....Would this be an old friend that use to post with us...WMB

Homework
 

I gave the girls 12U team that I (assistant) coach for a homework assignment. I told them this after a game last week, in front of all the parents - you all have to go home and watch at least one game of WCWS this coming week, start to finish, with one of your parents. then come back and tell the group what game you watched, who the teams were, and one play you really liked and why.

Earlier this week, almost every parent said something positive about it to me on the side, and the girls loved it. Most of them watched more than one game, and had numerous plays they liked. It got their spirits up and energized them - now they're ready to play like pro's!

GO BLUE!!!
 

Gotta love the Maze n Blue. Great Job. Also, I want to acknowledge what a great job (seemed risky at the time) Coach Hutch did in the 9th inning. Gotta say that took some softballs to load the bases.
