Softball Hosting Norman Regional
Arkansas, Tulsa and Oregon will join OU in the four-team field in Norman.
NORMAN, Okla. - The Oklahoma softball team (43-12) will be making its 15th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament this Friday as the Sooners were chosen as a No. 10 overall seed and will host a regional in Norman. Arkansas, Tulsa and Oregon will join Oklahoma in the four-team field at the OU Softball Complex this weekend.
The regional (May 16-18) is double-elimination and runs through Sunday at the OU Softball Complex. The winner of the Norman Regional will match up with the winner of the Hempstead Regional between No. 7 Arizona, Hofstra, Long Island and Canisius in the Super Regionals (May 23-25).
“We are so excited for our team and for our fans that we have the opportunity to play in front of our home fans,” head coach Patty Gasso said. “Our team worked hard all year to earn and I’m so proud of them for that. Also, we played every team in our four-team regional earlier this season so we are familiar with them.”
For the second straight year Oklahoma was selected as one of the top 16 seeds in the country. The NCAA began the new format of seeding 16 different teams and placing them at a different regional three years ago.
The Sooners are one of two Big 12 teams that were seeded nationally as Texas A&M was selected as a No. 5 national seed. Within the Norman Regional, Oklahoma is the top seed followed by Arkansas, Tulsa and Oregon rounding out the field as the fourth overall seed.
Oklahoma is slated to play Oregon in opening round action on at 7:30 p.m. (CST) on Friday, May 16. Arkansas will take on Tulsa in its opening game of the tournament at 5 p.m. (CST) on Friday.

McCain’s presidency will be this: the fulfillment of his lifelong dream to be president.

he didn’t answer the question and he certainly did ramble. when someone is asked a direct question, either they answer it or they don’t. This was a softball, and McCain didn’t answer it. I don’t think it’s too much to expect someone running for president to be able to explain (or at least say something) about what his/her presidency would look likeI do agree with your points about McCain but my point is not about “idiocy”, it is about pointing out that McCain flubbed a question that matters, and that when another candidate flubbed a question like that in an earlier election, the press was all over it. There should be headlines saying “McCain can’t say what his presidency would look like”

Mudd did ask this question of Kennedy–it’s part of a documentary called “Teddy”–check this link, scroll down or search for Kennedy: http://www.q-and-a.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1174

okay, I get how it’s pulling historical data, but I thought college bb teams get refreshed every 2 years.

Always remember: McCain is mentally unstable and is physically unsound.http://reddit.com/goto?id=6eypzAnd those around him, the neocons, the zionist handlers like Lieberman hope (plan?) that he will not make it though his Presidency, leaving them in charge of the country without the benefit of the popular vote. In control of the military, the nukes, the department of state, Homeland Security.Then these people will use the laws Bush used the 911 pretext to enact: the PATRIOT Act, NORTHCOM, Homeland Security, and Military Commissions, and HR 1955 against us.The CHEKA comes again.

he simply didn’t answer the question: what would a McCain presidency look like? he danced around the question for a while (thanking the audience, talking about unrelated issues), and then said a few words about being remembered as someone who is imperfect but honorable. That says absolutely zero about what his presidency would look like. if you can find anything in his answer that specifies what his presidency would look like, please say so
