What a game it was. Last night the Sooners played a great game against Alabama but in the end Alabama took home the championship of college softball. Congrats to them.

The game started off with a 3 hour rain delay. Which made the game last till 12:30am. Hmmm no wonder why I am so tired today. But the Sooners fought hard but could not get that last run they needed to tie the game and time just ran out on them. Next year they will be wonderful as it is reported that only 1 girl will be leaving graduating so the core of the team will stay intact.

Now for Washington (my home team) they made it to the regionals but got knocked out by Cal 0-2.

Great job Sooners, I cannot wait to see what happens next year.

Starts tonight with our team in it. Go Sooners.
Game 1 starts right now vs. Alabama.

They are saying this is the first time in a long while that the pac12 is not in the final.

The Sooners did very well in bracket play and watched every game during the super regionals and I think they have what it takes. Win tonight and them tomorrow and become champs over Alabama.

This last week the wife and I have been enjoying watching the NCAA Softball World Series. And now of course our favorite team is still in play and ready for tomorrows semi-final game. Go Sooners!!!

There have been some really good games the last few days. In fact I am watching Oregon against Tennessee. And if Tennessee does not doing something in the next 2 outs, they are done for the year. The winner will play Cal this evening to see who moves on the the other semi-final game vs. Alabama..

Overall we have enjoyed the games. It’s too bad we were not up in Oklahoma City to watch the games since it is so close.

Come on Sooners, I know you can win it all this year!!!!

It’s Friday, that’s for sure.  I’m thankful that it’s Friday.  Looking back on this week, I cannot believe how the US men’s soccer team is playing lately.  Some reason (I’m not sure how) they are still in the world cup qualifier.  I guess it could be because some of the other teams are not very good.  But when I was watching the Costa Rica game, wow we looked horrible.  Now the Confederations Cup is moving forward and here we are sitting at 0-2.  We lost to Italy 1-3 and of course Italy is the World Champions so at least we scored right?  But what’s this…..   Egypt beats Italy yesterday 1-0.. oh boy that makes us look really good.    Also yesterday we lost to Brazil 0-3.  So here we are sitting in Group B in last place with 0 points and a -5 goal differential.

Sunday we play against Egypt.  I really hope these guys are resting or doing whatever they need to do to hopefully win something in this cup.  Rest, take their top diet pills, swim, I don’t know.  But they better figure it out.  Or this will be an embarrassing Confederations cup and a more embarrassing World Cup next year.

Last weekend my soccer team went to Abilene for a soccer tournament.  This was the last time this team would be the same as we are moving to a younger division and saying goodbye to the older division, so we wanted to have a last fun time together.

We really didn’t do very well as far as scoring but 2 of the games we almost won and played good.  Overall this last year was slow going and now that we have a few players off of the team, we are going to change up some things and really get competitive this year.  The girls only have a couple weeks till tryouts and I hope we can pick up a few more players to round out the roster.

So here we are in Abilene, TX for our last tournament of the season.  Next season we are moving down to a 96 team instead of a 95 team.  We have played up the entire year.  So we just finished our first game and wow, the girls we played against were really good.  We played OK, but they won.  They had 2 girls that were like 5’10″.  They must have used their best diet supplements, cause they were in shape.

I lost count but I think the final was 0-8.  The other team had about 5 of these players that were on the ODP team.  ODP is the Olympic Develoment program. So it was tough.  Next game is in a little over 2 hours.  I hope we fair better in that one.
