I like our matchup and chances, just need "some" offensive production, let the pitchers do their stuff, we have a very good opportunity to make a run to Oklahoma City


FSU is very beatable


But Like I said, Auburn can definitely knock off FSU if they decide to hit the ball this weekend.

Crazy bracket set up 9 SEC host and I think only two matchups are sec head-to-heads for super regionals. I think that means that if everything fell as well as possible for the SEC you can have 7 out of 8 teams in the College World Series. Don't get me wrong it probably won't happen but it's possible

MSU is in Arizona's regional, so an all-SEC WCWS is theoretically possible. Most likely won't happen, but getting every SEC team in makes it a possibility at least.

South Carolina at 9 seems high to me. It’s crazy how they used to be a perennial SEC cellar dweller and now they’re a national seed. I really hope that Beth makes some changes in the offseason to bring us more power at the plate. After years of LSU dominating in the early years of SEC softball, Yvette got complacent and we got passed up by the likes of Alabama and Tennessee. We don’t want that to happen again with USCe and Ole Miss.

ULL is good but certainly not like past teams




yeah i watched them play a double header last weekend. pitching looks good. one of which i know personally. been watching her since high school and travel ball. glasco has rotated 4 pitchers all year and they look tough. lost too much talent on transfers. lost two all americans in DJ sanders and Aleah craighton and sunbelt freshie of the year alyssa denham. all 3 went to pac-12. arizona and oregon. no power like past years either without coach mike.

i feel bad for nicholls. won regular season southland but cannot get by mcneese in that damn tourney so mcneese keeps getting in. coach angel really has done a great job rebuilding nicholls. so close last two years for a NCAA birth. I will have to congratulate him regardless when i see him. he has done a great job. LSU should have no problem getting through this regional. .

I know the committee looks at entire body of work but Georgia isn't a shadow of where they once were without gray in the circle.

South Carolina was very deserving with the year they had, but they did have one really really bad loss. South Carolina can hit the ball

should be LSU-FSu in super regional yet again

walljasper/hoover against king/hanson

we beat burroughs/king last year so we can beat those two above now.

FSu has done well spitting out good pitchers.

waldrop, burroughs, king, hanson

I am with you in terms of doing something to improve the offense and add more power, no question it needs to be addressed and done, statistically its not defendable

Ole Miss will never be that special if Mike Smith continues to run off half the team during fall ball, dude is an a-hole.

I am really shocked Beverly Smith didn't win SEC Coach of the year, the transformation and success of South Carolina this season is nothing short of remarkable.

I know they haven’t been near the top lately, but South Carolina was one of the first softball powers. They had been to the WCWS a few times before joining the SEC and I think they made it the first year or so in the conference. It’s good to see them back in the race. They have some nice wins this year.

Will Wade should throw out the first pitch when you play ULL.

Texas State, they can hit the ball really well at times plus they have a monster in the circle. I watched them play a bit all season. Definitely not a team you want in your regional if they are on.

Oklahoma State, that team can score runs on anyone in the country. Issue for them is their pitching is awful, well not always but it depends on the day.

Didn't want Baylor either even though we beat them. Baylor definitely could knock out A&M in college station
