Alabama sweeps Tuscaloosa Regional, reserve spot vs. Oklahoma in super regionals
For the third consecutive season, the Alabama Crimson Tide are headed back to the NCAA Super Regionals.
Yes, after an impressive run through the 2025 Tuscaloosa Regional in which they hosted, Alabama is moving on in their march toward the Women's College World Series.
Never losing over the three-day span, Alabama began play in Tuscaloosa on Friday with an 8-0 shutout victory over Jackson State in five innings. As a result, the Crimson Tide advance to the winner's bracket final Saturday, where Alabama came away with a 4-3 victory to book a spot in the regional finals Sunday.
On Sunday, Alabama would face off against Virginia Tech once again as well, this time coming away with a 3-2 win over the Hokies. The result also means that the Crimson Tide now sit at 40-21 overall for the season.
Looking ahead, Alabama now advances to the NCAA Super Regionals where the Crimson Tide will travel to Norman for a showdown with the Oklahoma Sooners later this week. The Sooners have won each of the last four national championships, and are one of college softball's top teams yet again this season.
Alabama and Oklahoma previously met back from April 12-14 in Tuscaloosa, a series in which the Crimson Tide took two-of-three.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons requests trade, did Steelers' T.J. Watt play a role?
Thank you Dallas 🦁👑 🙏🏾! I One of the NFL's best edge rushers has officially requested a trade, as Micah Parsons took to social media to declare his desire to leave the Cowboys amid ongoing contract talks — but one can't help but wonder if Steelers star T.J. Watt inadvertently played a major role in the decision. After months of failed negotiations with Dallas — and continuous shots from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones — Parsons made the trade request official with a social media post captioned, "Thank you Dallas!" Here is a short excerpt from his message: "Up to today the team has not had a single conversation with my agent about a contract," Parsons wrote on X. "Not one demand has been made by my agent about money, years, or anything else. Still, I stayed quiet, but again, after repeated shots at myself and all the narratives, I have made a tough decision. I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys. My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally." While Parsons alluded to other factors in play — like refusing to partake in negotiations without his agent present — the Cowboys star defender hinted at Watt's record-breaking deal and other edge rushers' contracts during training camp. 'When you go around the league, you see these other teams taking care of their best guys," Parsons said a few weeks ago. "I see T.J. got taken care of. Maxx [Crosby] got taken care of. Myles [Garrett] got taken care of, and he's got two years left on his deal. You see a lot of people in our league getting taken care of, and you wish you had that same type of energy." More from Micah Parsons:'You see these other teams taking care of their best guys. I see TJ (Watt) got taken care of. Maxx (Crosby) got taken care of. Myles (Garrett) got taken care of…I don't take it personally, I just don't understand it.'#DallasCowboys Despite claims that the trade request didn't stem from financial demands, his camp mentality tells a different story — and the Pittsburgh Steelers deserve more credit for getting Watt extended long-term, even if it meant making him the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL with an average annual salary of $41.5 million.

Michigan State football punter named to Ray Guy award watchlist
Michigan State football is starting to develop a reputation as one of the top programs for punters in the country. For the third year in a row, MSU punter Ryan Eckley has been named to the Ray Guy award watchlist, which is given to the top punter in college football. Michigan State has never had a punter win the prestigious award, although many fans believed Bryce Baringer should have taken the honor back in 2022, when he narrowly lost to Adam Korsak of Rutgers. Eckley took over for Baringer in 2023, and remarkably, there was barely a dip in performance. Eckley averaged 46.7 yards per punt in 2023 and 47.9 yards per punt last season. In 2024, 13.95 percent of his punts landed within the 20-yard line.
