World Cup Fever

I have only been able to watch one of the USA's soccer matches from start to finish.  Had to see the highlites  for the next two.  I still have a problem seeing any team advance in any tournament going 1-1-1.  I know soccer is a world wide sport  but wouldn't the tournament be more thrilling if it was a double elimination?

The ACC is a bridesmaid again in the college World Series.  You know the world watched from Omaha for 11 days.  I would like to see them go back to the double elimination format.  The problem any team has once they lose a game in the double elimination format is it eats up your pitching.  TV dominating the schedule there is only two games at the most on any day.

Vanderbilt and Virginia both lost two games at the CWS.  Vandy was five and 5-2 while Virginia was 4-2.  Just seems to me when it gets down to the final two and one has a loss the maximum games between the two might be two games.  Colleges  play three straight days on conference weekends and during the tournament the only two teams that played more than two days in a row was UVA and Vandy during the two out of three final.

Post 58 double header loss on Saturday has doomed Post 58 into a two out of three playoff round against Cary on July3-4-5.  Right now don't know who gets fourth or fifth until all the games are finished.  Fourth will host on the third and fifth if needed.  No vacation during this upcoming holiday weekend for Post 58.  Seems there is a possible tropical storm brewing that may be here Thursday.

Cousin Lauren Doughtie cashed another check this weekend in the Futures Tour.  She has made the cut in five of the last six tournaments.  Her problem finishing 30th on the Futures Tour get a check of about $500.  She is in the top 60 on the money list but in order to get her LPGA card back she needs to be top 15 at end of the year.  She needs to win another tournament to get to top 15.
