If you've been asleep all week, the Missouri Tigers women's softball team is back in the NCAA Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City. How did they get there you ask? Good question.
The Tigers qualified for the regional tournament and came back through the elimination round to beat DePaul twice and advance to the NCAA Super-Regional, which just happened to be held in Columbia. The Tigers then demolished the Washington Huskies of the Pac-Ten in two straight.
Up next is Missouri against Florida. The Tigers bring in a slightly better record than the Gators, but the Gators play in the always tough SEC. Still, don't sell Mizzou short. They played a rugged season in the Big 12 and saw some really good teams. How Good? Well, four of the eight teams in the College World Series are from the Big 12. (Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and the Tigers are all there).
The Tigers have been blanked in the previous two tournaments bowing out after two games in each of the tourneys. But, I have a good feeling this year is going to be different. So with that in mind let me say: Go Tigers. M-I-Z Z-O-U!
