I think most know where I’m leaning towards

But for the sake of the dislike of said conference and that team, I’ll keep it to myself lol. But after that anyone but OU.

OK softballers who do hope wins the WCWS and why?
MidloHokie • 05/26/25 03:07 PM ET
Oregon all the way!
rberry7676 • 05/28/25 01:36 PM ET
none, I hate all 8 teams, hope they all lose, season ended already
Scream_On_D • 05/28/25 02:02 AM ET
My sentiments exactly but don't forget fall ball! See you at TSP? :-)**
laphroaig • 05/28/25 04:57 AM ET
Has nothing to do with conferences. But Texas Tech, they are the underdogs.
carhokies • 05/27/25 05:02 PM ET
So who are you rooting for?**
FriendofCoal • 05/27/25 12:38 PM ET
Can you just watch and not root for anyone?**
FriendofCoal • 05/27/25 12:45 PM ET
The old umpire and football ref in me can certainly do that. Easily! :-)**
laphroaig • 05/28/25 04:59 AM ET
Usually whoever I root for loses… 🙄**
Virginiawinc • 05/28/25 12:45 AM ET
Hope you are rooting for TN.**
FriendofCoal • 05/28/25 11:18 AM ET
Unfortunately I was! 😞**
Virginiawinc • 05/29/25 10:43 PM ET
You absolutely can, it's probably better that way ....
hokietony • 05/27/25 01:10 PM ET
I’m going for “anybody but OU”
hokiepro • 05/27/25 05:46 PM ET
Oh for sure. I'm 'mildly' hoping TT goes a long way because I like . .
MidloHokie • 05/27/25 02:42 PM ET
The more I think about this, the more I think I am pulling for TT....
hokietony • 05/27/25 02:51 PM ET
Texas Tech for me - No SEC or B10 would be awesome IMHO.**
U2Hokie • 05/27/25 12:00 PM ET
Only hope for VT to win the WCWS and when it can't happen,
laphroaig • 05/27/25 05:05 AM ET
Any school that's not OU, SEC, and B10.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/26/25 10:36 PM ET
I think most know where I’m leaning towards ◄
VTsportscaster • 05/26/25 09:29 PM ET
Anyone not in the SEC
HokiePoq • 05/26/25 08:04 PM ET
Correct answer.**
vatechcowpatty • 05/26/25 09:09 PM ET
The correct answer is VT. Now asking me who I THINK will win is an
laphroaig • 05/27/25 05:12 AM ET
And soon **
TomTurkey • 05/27/25 10:46 AM ET
Ole Miss or Texas Tech**
hokiepro • 05/26/25 06:33 PM ET
Not the SEC but statistically it will be the SEC **
SuperFeHokie • 05/26/25 06:22 PM ET
Oregon, for LG and her family.**
nkhooch • 05/26/25 05:43 PM ET
Ugh
hokiepro • 05/26/25 06:24 PM ET
We've already had that multiple times. And since they've made it to the
nkhooch • 05/26/25 09:52 PM ET
Maybe that’s an important narrative
Hokie4Life_89 • 05/26/25 09:07 PM ET
The problem is we have no idea why she was unhappy or why she "bailed".
AbsolutVT03 • 05/28/25 02:03 PM ET
What are you talking about? She definitely left for more PT. No one knows
King of Hokies • 05/27/25 08:48 AM ET
IYKYK
Hokie4Life_89 • 05/27/25 11:55 AM ET
IYKYCM
King of Hokies • 05/28/25 12:03 AM ET
So what were the reasons? If not
hokiepro • 05/26/25 09:51 PM ET
Random - you mean they flipped a coin? Or used dice?
nkhooch • 05/27/25 04:49 PM ET
They ignored OOC SoS
hokiepro • 05/27/25 05:43 PM ET
Thanks for the response. I can't tell what part of this is you
nkhooch • 05/30/25 03:11 AM ET
Yes, not condemning her but sounds like she thought she should be #2 but
Hokie-2x • 05/27/25 07:48 AM ET
The Hooker comparison is a good one and just leaves us wishing we could
nkhooch • 05/27/25 05:37 PM ET
Oops, I meant #1.**
Hokie-2x • 05/27/25 09:30 AM ET
LG would be here if she wanted to be here. Period. **
laphroaig • 05/26/25 08:47 PM ET
There is no one to root for.**
dallasvt • 05/26/25 05:18 PM ET
Ole Miss just to be different.**
Hokiedanville • 05/26/25 05:06 PM ET
TT for me. I don't want SEC to win and don't like UCLA either.
NC_Hokies • 05/26/25 04:48 PM ET
TT winning would be BAD for the sport
Hokie4Life_89 • 05/26/25 08:54 PM ET
That's an already known truth. Been so for years.
Atlee Hokie • 05/26/25 10:33 PM ET
Except in the case of the Dallas Cowboys. They can't be bought enough.**
Hokie-2x • 05/27/25 07:55 AM ET
Yes, even pre-NIL (which truly means Now It's Legal)**
laphroaig • 05/27/25 04:44 AM ET
Did you think of that on your on?**
Hokie-2x • 05/27/25 10:18 AM ET
Hmmm, maybe you're own to something.**
BG Hokie • 05/27/25 10:57 AM ET
I think we've misjudged laphroaig. He might be one of those deep thinking
Hokie-2x • 05/27/25 11:13 AM ET
Your going to have to on the fact that you weren't own to what I was doing.**
BG Hokie • 05/27/25 11:25 AM ET
Isn’t it already proof a natty can be bought by what OU has been doing?
hokiepro • 05/26/25 09:53 PM ET
Well TT winning can't be bad for the players, right? Many are earning . .
MidloHokie • 05/26/25 09:51 PM ET
Love's has been buying them for OU for a while now. The best players will
NC_Hokies • 05/26/25 08:57 PM ET
Unfortunate for who? I'm thinking the girls who work hard to hone . .
MidloHokie • 05/26/25 10:04 PM ET
I agree the athletes should be paid for their abilities, I just wish
NC_Hokies • 05/26/25 10:34 PM ET
College sports have been regulated for decades. Even when the regulation
laphroaig • 05/27/25 04:52 AM ET
Right, that is the unfortunate part I was talking about in earlier post.**
NC_Hokies • 05/27/25 07:07 AM ET
Truth!**
RJHokie • 05/26/25 09:09 PM ET
If TT wins the natty, did the coach win it or did the NIL people win it?**
laphroaig • 05/26/25 08:48 PM ET
It takes both. TT is not the only team in OKC with lots of NIL $$.
MidloHokie • 05/27/25 02:45 PM ET
Can’t plug and play bad coaches and top players and win a natty
Brewing_Hokie • 05/26/25 09:50 PM ET
In this case, what %? I'd guess 40/60.**
TomTurkey • 05/27/25 10:50 AM ET
Probably. But depends on the team for exact % imo**
Brewing_Hokie • 05/27/25 11:11 AM ET
I was considering Canady particularly, maybe 35/65 **
TomTurkey • 05/27/25 11:24 AM ET
I guess you could have that same question about any of the top teams.**
NC_Hokies • 05/26/25 08:54 PM ET
Would figure an "anybody but" list would be pretty darn long. :-)**
laphroaig • 05/26/25 04:09 PM ET
Texas Tech only by default I guess ....
hokietony • 05/26/25 03:19 PM ET
I guess I’m wondereing
Hokie4Life_89 • 05/27/25 07:40 AM ET
I guess it's just rooting against the big dominant bully. At least TT is
NC_Hokies • 05/27/25 08:30 AM ET
I put OU last. Tired of them getting to play the entire postseason at home **
hokiepro • 05/26/25 06:40 PM ET
Texas Tech "would" be my pick except they are...
Old Line Hokie • 05/26/25 04:42 PM ET
Well. I’m still with The Red Raiders **
hokiepro • 05/26/25 06:38 PM ET
I agree. But the best case scenario is for the event to get
RJHokie • 05/26/25 03:40 PM ET
Texas Tech b/c they're not SEC
