Let's see what happened this past week? No tests or papers due... marginal weather. Guess the most significant thing that's happened is that the Beavers won the Pac-10 in baseball and got awarded their own regional to begin the post season.

Before I talk more about that, I should mention softball hosted their own regional (winning it) and then a Super Regional (also winning it). So they went to the Women's College World Series. First time in program history they've been a part of the final eight teams. Unfortunately they dropped their first two games in Oklahoma City and are now done (they played Thursday morning and then again this morning). So although that was disappointing, it was another awesome season for them.

Back to the baseball regional, it started yesterday and will hopefully conclude tomorrow. Beavers, the #1 seed, opened up against Wright State, the #4 seed in the regional. It was a rather tense game, but the Beavers ended up winning 5-3.
Pictures are here.

We watched from Dixon's third floow window (the student gym) because tickets were $10 and I didn't feel like paying that much for a game against Wright State. It went well except for the fact you couldn't hear anything (I brought along a radio so we could listen to the broadcast).

Today we planned on attending the game against Kansas but it was sold out when we got there (it was about 600 short of a sell out the day before). So we ended up standing in this area near right field with about 50 other ticketless people watching. You could see decently so it worked out.

Tomorrow we plan on going way early so we can make sure to get tickets (600 will be up for sale during the 5th inning of the afternoon game). The winner of that game plays us. They have to beat us twice to win the regional. If we just win once, we win everything. So hopefully we can close it out tomorrow. And hopefully I'll be inside the stadium for this game.
