NCAA crew and softball (in no sense of order).

I'm not a fan of NCAA hoops, so I made this thread for some other worthy sports that don't get the coverage. College rowing, and women's softball. The two sports cross time lines with MM and get little mention. Fine.

I will 1st say that I'm a UW Husky fan. By all means, chime in with your collegiate favorite. No football please.

The Lady Huskies softball team is currently ranked #1 in the nation. 23-0 with 12 shutouts. The kicker is, half of the Pac 12 is rated in the top 20 <sigh>. In a couple more weeks, we'll start to consume each other in league play. Go Dawgs!

The Lady's crew also won the 2017 NCAA rowing championships with a sweep of the races (1st and only time any team has done it). 

Rowing is the oldest US collegiate sport. Being I'm prejudiced in this matter, I will focus on one of the top programs and arenas in the world.

Its a long read/watch, but the Boys in the Boat fans might appreciate it:

I'm a UP grad (Portland).    We were a soccer school at the time (and still are to a large degree).  Had two female Olympic gold medal winners in my class.   Several players male and female went on to play professionally.  Our cross country team was top 10 in the nation when I was there.   I however ran track.

PS UP Football is undefeated since 1949.

I am a University of Tampa alum.  A Division II school, so not as much pub as DI schools, but UT does have very good soccer, baseball and women's volleyball programs.  Several major league players came from UT.  Now living up in the Northeast, have become a big Rutgers University fan.  RU has a very good women's soccer program.  I take my daughter to a couple of games a year.  Great fun cheering on the local kids.

Since ESPN can't provide any updates in a reasonable time frame...

The Husky Classic was held over the weekend. The big matchup was #11 Alabama vs the #1 Huskies. Hindsight is kinda funny. Bama's pitcher was fawned over by the media. Could the Huskies handle the prowess of this pitcher and her deep resume'?

Game one ended in an 8-0 gobsmacking of the Tide when the 5th inning rule was called. Game 2 was another story. 4-1 Dawgs after 7 innings. 

The Huskies are now at 23-0 on the season. Next weekend will end out of conference play and some serious reckoning will be in play.

The Pac 12 has 3 teams in the top 6 nationally (six in the top 20). I've no idea how Oregon gets ranked 6th nationally when they're 6th in the Pac 12. 

Come March 14th, there will be carnage till the end. This holds true for the SEC as well (and most other conferences).

PLAY BALL!

I've no idea how Oregon gets ranked 6th nationally when they're 6th in the Pac 12. 

I couldn't tell if you were joking on this or not?

Hopefully you were just joking but if not they are in a 9 way Tie for first in Pac 12 with all the other teams.0-0 

Nationally Washington has player 2 ranked teams(6,11,11) but one twice so total of 3 games. Won all 3.

Oregon has played 7 ranked teams(6,7,11,13,13,15,18,25) but one twice so total of 8 games. Won 4 lost 4.

As you said in few weeks the fun will begin when they start taring each other up.

Again if you new this please disregard

I was speaking in terms of record, not conference schedule (as there is none yet).

Yup tied for first 0-0. They are 6th because of who they played.

After a game called this weekend due to rain (in Las Vegas?), the Lady Huskies are now 27-0. The last game was a nail biter as New Mexico State took it to the 10th inning before being outed.

Interesting note: Half of the Husky soft ballers are 5'-6" or less. Little lady's smacking the orb over the wall. Weird...

One more game before the slaughter begins in the divisions. The SEC and PAC12 are gonna eat themselves alive.

Crew is coming soon. More on that later.

Hope Y'all had a great weekend!

Well, it's Tuesday and the weekend reports are in. Not surprisingly, the SEC and ESPN keep ignoring the Pac. 

The Pac 12 gets 5 mentions in 50 articles, while the SEC gets 40. <sigh>

Half the top 10 at this time is owned by the Pac.

I used to watch ESPN everyday but I never watch it anymore once it became SEC/ESPN.

As of today, the Lady Huskies are 35-2 with the last two weeks sweeps of their series. ESPN? The Pac 12 got 4 mentions in their last 100 articles.

The Huskies 2 losses came in Pac 12 play against then #10 AZ State. Last weekend the Dawgs swept #9 AZ, and this weekend unranked Stanford in conference play. Wednesday they face little known Seattle U, with the nations home run leader. Could I finally get to watch a game? 

Then it's a long home stand of 6 games against Utah and Cal. It gets ugly after that with 3 at UCLA and 3 here with Oregon.
