Getting close..
Who ya got...and why?
I'm think FL vs somebody...BUT...IMHO FL isn't as strong as the last 2 yrs
And...although not all of them of course, but they have some crappy drunk ass fans...

Florida is not as strong but I think they have enough. Though they lost key players last year, many of those left on the roster have been threw this before so pressure shouldn't be a factor. They are battle tested and know how to get the job done.

Auburn can go on a run with their bats and flat outscore anyone.

Arizona is heating up and may have one of the deepest pitching staffs.

Oklahoma can beat you in many ways, but I don't know if their pitching can go the distance.

My pick Florida...

:?: They've lost 5 of their last 6 and just got shut out in three straight vs Oregon.

That said, I don't have any insightful predictions to add. Hopefully, one of the Pac 12 teams can get hot and make a run. I'm a UCLA fan, but I don't think they have the pitching to get there.

I'd also like to see ULL get some TV time. I don't have a rooting interest there, but they do some interesting things at the plate that would interesting to watch.

AU got lambasted last 2 games with TN...


By this time of the season, lots of teams have injury issues and everyone has figured everyone else out..
Most teams seem to have one saddle-horse pitcher ...My un-educated guess is a proper mix of Gorilla ball and small ball

More familiar with SEC schools...which last weekend saw some upsets
But thats just like in SEC football...regardless of who is playing who...They better get ready.

Would be neat to see James Madison (Underdog) come thru vs perennial winners

Nice to see some of the HeyBucket kids, including some on the current banner, on the ESPN coverage of the SRs.

The oldest is in college and no longer playing due to her knees, and the youngest traded bat and glove for wetsuit and surfboard, so I didnt think I would be watching. Turned it on yesterday just to watch a couple kids the DD played with and against, and fell off the wagon. But damn, you gotta love this game.

ULL vs Texas A&M was a great game.
