OU and South Carolina have met one other time before this season on Feb. 9, 2007 in the Hughes Brothers Challenge in Wilmington, N.C. The Sooners dropped a 13-2 decision that day in the only other meeting between the schools.
The winner of OU and USC will have to defeat No. 8 Clemson twice to advance to next week's championship series, starting on Friday at 8 p.m.

In the NCAA Regional round, USC hosted and won all three games of its regional against Bucknell, The Citadel and Virginia Tech.

Throw strikes, no errors, and I'll take my chances
We beat em once before, let’s go out and do it again!
"We call him The Hammer." - Bob Stoops on Ronnell Lewis
The guy that SC has on the mound is a pretty good pitcher
Hopefully we can get at him and get into their bullpen
Man I had a tough time getting into the thread
It kept saying that there was a problem and that SB Nation was working on it.
Gonna have to leave you guys
My daughter has a summer league basketball game tonight. I’ll be following, and trying to check in, on my BlackBerry
Let these guys play
I feel like Sunny is over-coaching a bit. Lots of bunting and butcher-boy and stealing bases, and we’re four outs in, playing with metal bats.
In that situation you let Bushyhead steal before you swing the bat
That takes away the double play and it also gets the first base man off the line and that would have been a double. I agree to let them play but you have to keep doing what got you here
Unless he gets caught by four steps...
…and the double play is academic. I see what you’re saying, but I think the chess game aspects are best left for tighter, later games.
Throwing strikes
They hit the nail on the head earlier. He doesn’t throw 95, but he’s in the zone. And I’ll take that breaking ball any day.
Score?
I’m sitting in the gym watching my daughter’s team warm up?

No can’t. At a fundraiser at aquarium. Just keep sneaking a look to see score. Saw 1st inning.

I really like Caleb Bushyheads Attitude
You can tell he is an Oklahoma kid (Cherokee)
Do we know another great Sooner that is a Cherokee
We ran on this catcher in the first game
We need to do it again. I know he threw us out on our first steal but it was a terrible jump. I want us to try again instead of bunting them over and giving up that out.
The SC players were gathered in a circle
doing satanic chants during a rain delay. See they dont deserve to win
And just gave up a double
but they did not score on it. We have 2 outs runners on 2 and 3. Need an out here
They called Cody out on what was an innfield hit
Very bad call. They showed the replay and he was safe
I know I am posting to myself
But does anyone want to guess where WW or Gallon go in the draft tonight
I think they'll both go between the 35-45 picks

Like I said mixed emotions
Dont know if I am glad or not. Lets put it this way. I hope we dont miss them
wow, this is tight
