Parker clarifies. Pac-12 has corrected their initial statement and if OSU and UW wins, OSU would be outright conference champions. Whoever put out that initial Pac-12 baseball memo should be fired. Lets kill the bastard! Hey, let's watch our language. This is a family-friendly board. |

In other words, if OSU wins and UW beats Stanford Pac-12 championship is a 3 way co-championship shared between 21-9 Stanford, 21-9 UW and 21-8-1 OSU. If UW wins and OSU loses, UW and Stanford co-champions at 21-9. If Stanford wins and OSU loses, Stanford outright champion at 22-8. Now that makes no sense at all. Might make sense if the OSU WSU game had been canceled and not replayed. But it WAS played and it finished in a tie. As it stands all teams will have played 30 games, and there is no way a team with same amount of wins and one less loss should be co-champions with a team or teams with one more loss. Pac-12 is wrong here. But first things first - if OSU doesn't win today the point is moot. Moot. |

If the Pac 12 doesn't want ties then don't put a time limit on the Sunday games The time limit was of our making, because we flew to Pullman via Spokane and had to catch a return flight. Had we bussed, like WSU does to Corvallis, there would have been no time limit and the game would have resumed after the 30-minute lightning break and we probably win. Why we fly to Pullman is a mystery to me. The time saved is minimal. |

Corvallis to Pullman is 7 hours straight driving not accounting for any fuel, meal or stretch your legs stops. Call it 8 hours. I've made that drive more times than I care to admit. |

Take bus to PDX, 2 hours.
Check in, get through security, sit around, wait to board: 1.5-2 hours.
Fly to Spokane, 1 hour.
Pick up luggage, board bus, etc., 30 min.
Drive to Pullman, 90 minutes.
Total time: 6 1/2- 7 hours.
Meet at Goss, load bus, drive to Pullman: 7-8 hours.
Essentially a wash, and probably considerably cheaper.

(Cartoon of three players in the outfield dashing toward a fly ball)
Player 1 (Stanford): "I got it!"
Player 2 (OSU): "No, I got it!"
Player 3 (UW): "Looks like I got it!!!"
Craziest ending to a baseball regular season I have seen in the Pac-12. Who would have thought the conference champions would be coming from Seattle?
On to Omaha regardless!
