LSU needs to win a softball title soon.
They have a ton of talent and play in the best conference - SEC.
They have state of the art facilities for softball.
No reason they can't win.

Hopefully LSU gymnastics gets it done this year, if they compete out of their minds maybe they can knock off OU this year.

Baseball needs to make a strong run for #7 as well, next year will be a rebuilding year, they lose a lot on the mound and several mainstays in the lineup.

There is a tier of programs that are built to win titles on a regular basis. Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan, UCLA, Alabama, Washington, Alabama and LSU, as are a few more teams. Beth has taken this program places its never reached in actually a relatively short time. She is actually a very young coach that I expect to be here forever and always have us in contention.

These past couple trips to the CWS has been huge for this program. We are now becoming a much bigger brand than before. The LSU softball facebook and twitter page are one of the most followed pages in college softball.

Its tough enough as it is to get to the world series but its something else to win it. It takes a lot more than talent and coaching to win it. Some years the ball will just bounce the wrong way but for others you get that lucky roll.

Its pretty remarkable if you look at where we were as a program right as we hired Torina. We were lucky to have someone batting over .300, now we have an entire lineup with backups that can. We have true freshman coming in and doing it too.

I don't have much criticism for Torina, every coach makes mistakes and will continue to make mistakes. Above all Torina plays to Not one coach is perfect. I think the key for this program right now no question is at the plate against elite caliber pitching. Not saying we are poor at the plate but we can definitely improve. I am pretty excited to see Amanda Doyle, and Sydney Springfield continue to grow, as both will be offensive monsters at the plate for years to come.

Question, is there a recruiting class specifically yall would like me to touch on and give insight on players?

Whats unfortunate is OU really is down right nasty this year, I think it would be completely different if they didn't have Maggie Nichols, she gets almost a 9.95 minimum on like every event, its crazy. I am somewhat concerned about scoring going into postseason. I am already having issues with a lot of these judges throwing bullshite scores to a lot of the big gymnasts that have come in this year. Madison Kocian, Maggie Nichols (at times), Makayla Skinner, Kayla Ross, Amelia Hundley all get ridiculously over scored on a regular basis. Not to take away from them, they are fantastic. Definitely some of the best gymnasts out there. I feel like just big names are giving them the benefit of the doubt for getting big scores. Skinner is ok on bars, the other night she missed like two handstands, had leg separations, even had a major form break in the dismount and she still popped out a 9.95, it was ridiculous. I am praying that there is fair scoring going into super six this year.
