I agree. But the best case scenario is for the event to get

completely rained/washed out so that no champion is crowned……

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

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
