I'll go ahead and admit that I'm not a fan of the girlie softball. Yeah, a few years ago, when Kasey Cooper and the Gang were a threat to win the big enchilada, I followed because A.) it's Auburn, and 2.) my wife taught KC in elementary school and we know the family. I'm connected like that. But the game itself didn't appeal to me. It's played on a Little League sized field and all the hitters would get a running start and try to slap at the pitch and beat it out.
Since the WS has been on all week, I've actually been watching more of it and it seems there's a totally different approach, in that these girls are certified wall bangers. They're standing in and taking a rip. Still not anything I want to watch much of, but better. But, I got off on all that unrelated crap. The actual point of this thread is asking what the hell is ESPN doing with the scheduling?
Game 3, the championship game, between Oklahoma and FSU, is going on right now. Probably half over by now. So, do you want to promote women's sports, or not? How do you put the College World Series championship game on, in the middle of a Thursday afternoon? I understand the NBA playoffs get a bigger number, but if you want to grow the game and get bigger numbers for the girls' game, shouldn't they get a prime time slot for the biggest game of the entire season? I'd probably watch a good bit of it tonight. Makes no sense to me.
