Our softball team just lost to Harvard

Hard to figure. Harvard lost bad to Arkansas. It just so happens thet Harvards pitcher is from Slidel. She was 0-2 I think before this gem. Went the distance with over 175 pitches.

What the hell. We just beat Stanford, Washington, and Fullerton

Fire Javi!

There are a lot better pitchers in the SEC than the girl from Harvard if LSU can't score a run in 12 innings against her, maybe the eighth place finish was accurate.

Selman with a no hitter in Game 2 against Jackson St.

Ok that answers my question about the schedule due to the late finish of the arrgh Harvard game.
They are going ahead with playing J. State tonight and Iowa St. and Lamar tomorrow.

Selman throws a no hitter against Jackson St., and Tiger bats come alive:

"While Selman (2-0) kept the JSU hitters at bay for the length of the game, the LSU offense came to life to aid the pitcher and pounded out all eight runs on 12 hits as seven different Tiger batters earned at least one on the night. Bell and Andrews led the way with Bell going a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles and three runs scored, while Andrews went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases."

“We were flat the first game,” Bell said “We told each other to get on the fence and cheer on your teammates no matter how many outs we had. It doesn’t matter how we are doing. Stay in the game and stay motivated to get through the day.”

Im guessing you didn't keep up with LSU last weekend

Yes I did which makes a loss to Harvard mind boggling. They proved they were capable of hitting pitchers and scoring runs against Washington and Stanford but sink to the occasion against Harvard and can't execute with runners in scoring position.
Again, this is all in preparation for the SEC, and Harvard is no where near SEC caliber and a loss to them at home is inexcusable regardless of the classification of the players out on the field.

Which means it's an aberration not worth getting your knickers in a knot over.

Hardly an aberration. Loss to Texas, which has gone on to have a losing record since leaving Baton Rouge, loss to Penn State and Harvard are symptoms of a potentially bigger problem if they don't get it figured out before conference play.
