RALEIGH N.C. State punctuated its regional-clinching win against William & Mary in the NCAA tournament on Sunday with a round of high fives, handshakes and fistbumps.

Conspicuously missing from the center of Doak Field was a jubilant pile of humanity to commemorate the Wolfpacks second straight trip the Super Regional. Not that the players werent in the mood to celebrate, but there are bigger goals for this veteran group.

It feels like were starting to get back to a winning mentality and knowing that just making a regional isnt good enough, sophomore shortstop Trea Turner said after Sundays 9-2 win. That we can do more.

N.C. State (47-14) will face either Oregon or Rice on either Friday or Saturday in the best-of-3 Super Regional. The Wolfpack had to wait on Monday to learn its next opponent. The Ducks, the No. 8 national seed, hosted Rice late on Monday night. The game was not over at press time.

An Oregon win would send the Wolfpack to Eugene for the Super Regional. A Rice win would mean the Wolfpack would host the series at Doak Field, where it is 10-1 in the postseason since 2008.

Like the post-game handshakes on Sunday, N.C. State has turned winning into a routine. Since a slow 18-10 start, with a few uncharacteristic outings from star pitcher Carlos Rodon and an ankle injury that cost Turner 11 games, the Pack has won 29 of 33 games.

State needed only three games in the regional, with wins over Binghamton and William & Mary by a 14-3 margin. A year ago, the Pack allowed 30 runs in four regional games, including nine in a start by Rodon, and had to come through the losers bracket to get to baseballs version of the Sweet 16.

The Wolfpack had no such problems in this regional. After a 4-1 win over Binghamton on Friday, Rodon dominated the Tribe in Saturdays 1-0 win. Since the sophomore lefty lost two of his first four starts of the season, he has won his past eight decisions.

What does LeAnn Rimes think about bullying? She'll tell you with one finger.

The singer and actress has joined Glee's Darren Criss, Rumer Willis and a number of other celebs with The New F Word Campaign (launching tomorrow) for Friend Movement, an organization "created to help show positive anti-bully images through art and media," according to their website.

And Vice President of Brand Development for Friend Movement, Marco Gonzalez, tells E! News exclusively why he thought Rimes was perfect for this campaign.

NEWS: Actress Hailee Steinfeld is no stranger to bullying

"LeAnn's a great friend of mine and I've seen over the years how she's been bullied in the press, so I asked her right away to be a part of Friend Movement's anti-bullying campaign," he said, before noting that the star pulled through for her photo shoot regardless of feeling under the weather.

"On the day of her shoot, she was just getting over being sick and barely had a voice, but was booked to do Jimmy Kimmel. Like a true sport, she came over to our set straight from Kimmel, and rocked it out. She had a hard time keeping her middle finger up so our photographer Ryan Forbes had to tape her other fingers down with black tape."

Gonzalez continued, "We had a good laugh about it. Even without much of a voice, LeAnn smiled her way through the shoot. Her photo is definitely one of our most powerful images! I think her photo and the message behind it will resonate with many around the world who have been bullied."

The new photos for the campaign feature the big name celebs standing against a red background, while proudly giving the one-finger salute to the camera (which is blurred) with the words "Giving Bullying the Bird" printed across.

"The New F Word campaign is about creating an inner monologue with yourself," co-creator Elliot London tells E! News. "When you're bullied, we want you to think to yourself, 'F U, I'm fabulous the way I am.' We know it's a provocative campaign, but it's all about self empowerment."

HOUSTON, TX There are so many words you can use to describe Free Press Summer Fest.

Funharmonioushot!

But theres one word that should never be used to describe someone or something again.

Using the word retard or retarded to describe someone with learning disabilities is as hurtful as the n-word.

Theres a lot of other words that we say about people that we dont use anymore. Its time to do the same and retire those two words, said Mayor Annise Parker.

Mayor Parker, the Rise School of Houston and rapper Bun B are just a few of the big names helping Spread the Word to End the Word.

Everyone wants to be P.C. about this and P.C. about that, so lets cover everything, let`s cover every word that doesnt need to be used right now, said Bun B.

Lots of people signed the banner, taking the pledge to keep the R-word and other derogatory terms out of their mouths.

If you havent yet, take the pledge online at r-word.org.

No matter what, everyone deserves respect and thats one R-word we can all celebrate!
