Day 1 at the NCAA Rowing Championships is in the books for DI schools.

The Lady Dawgs won all their races by open water. WOOF

My Syracuse and UCF teams did not show very well.  :(

I'd like to thank your city for hosting this event. It's a welcome change to the 'up north' venues on the east coast.
It's still 3 hours early for the west coast teams, but the Dawgs are on the water at 5 AM here at home anyways.
I read that the conditions were good but high humidity. That's something we don't have on this side of the country.

I'd like to see the championship races alternate between coasts, and a central location every 3rd year.

The WCWS held in OK is fine by me as it's central for all teams. They have a 1st class facility there and not so much an advantage (barring home field for the Sooners). But hey....

Congrats to the 8 teams that made the WCWS. 4 PAC 12 made it.  :cool: :cool:

The upper part of the bracket could be ruff. :-X

Congratulations the Cal's Women rowers on claiming their 4th National title. They finished with a point total of 130 points, just 2 ahead of WA.
And to think that WA took them for the PAC 12 title a couple weeks ago is a testament to the rowing prowess of the west coast teams.
Cal - 1
WA - 2
TX - 3
Stanford - 4

As for the WCWS seeding; I'll never understand it...  ::)  Play the hand yer dealt!  :pig:
It's been far to long for a PAC 12 National Softball title.  Go PAC!  :cool:

Then again, the IRA's are next weekend as well. So much drama...

Hoo boy, here we go again.  :cool:

Good game Ducks, but the Dawgs truly did impress.

Behind the pitching of Gabbie Plain (an Aussie Freshman), the Lady Dawgs blanked OK 2-0. In doing so, she had only one strikeout. That's what you call incredible ball placement, and a defense to back it up.

Mens crew starts way early tomorrow at o-dark 30 on the west coast.

Go Huskies!

Nice job by both teams. They both also blanked OK this year.... 5-0 & 2-0 :cool:

Good luck and may the best team win game 4 rematch of the year....

Day 1 at the IRA's is over (for the most part).

The Huskies win all their races. All three 8's go to the semi's tomorrow, while the V4 advances directly to the finals on Sunday.
Cal also won all its races except the V4. Many other crews had faster times throughout the day than the Dawgs, so it will be interesting going forward.

Of note: The IRA's are not an NCAA sanctioned event, so none of the wins are reflected as such.

Apparently, my reading skills are suffering from old age.  ::) The V4 raced again today.

1V8:
Wa
Brown
Cal

2V8:
Cal
WA
Princeton

3V8:
WA
Northeastern
Cal

V4:
WA
Cal
Drexel

All are fastest times for the day at this point.

Lady Dawg ballers 6-2 over the Lady Ducks. What a great game! After losing 0-3 at home to the Ducks, the Dawgs come through in the stretch.

Time to take a deep breath for all teams.  :clap:

Another years is in the books for the IRA's.

Yale again takes home the National title (2 in a row), and the Huskies another Ten Eyck title (team points) in a weather shortened race schedule. The Trophy is the 9th for the Dawgs in the last 10 years.  :clap:

1V8 - Yale, WA, Cal.
2V8 - WA, Cal, Yale.
3V8 - WA, Cal, Harvard.
V4 was not raced due to conditions.

Now it's all up to the Lady soft ballers. UW vs OK (again) in a couple hours. Should they lose out at this point, it's stiil a tie for 3rd in the nation.

Go Huskies!

Confusing, I watched about 5 pitches last night or the night before of UCLA and I cant for the life of me think of the other squad...was a college I most certainly knew (maybe it was OK).  I swear they made it sound like that other teams was going to win the WS...that night, so I defiantly heard what I wanted to I guess.

Some brutal "risers" thrown by underhand pitchers!

Great game 1. Another pitchers duel. What a double play by the FS 3rd base in 7th inning. Still hopping for PAC 12s 24th championship. Back to work Tuesday so wont get to watch the games...
