UL Lafayette has an outstanding Softball program as does LSU. It is too bad that idiots who call themselves fans of both programs act like jerks.

If LSU had lost, I would be pissed, but by next week I would be pulling for ULL to win it all. Next to LSU, I will always pull for Louisiana teams.
Now anyone from Louisiana that pulls for Bama- you are scum!

I'm a USL alum, though I went to LSU my freshman year prior to getting married (no pics, not still married to that one). I kind of understand a little of the butt hurt/animus towards LSU but I think it's illogical thinking on the part of Cajuns fans. I don't think they're generally scum, just misguided. And most of the militant anti LSU/root for Bama fans I know are not actual alumni of any college. If others experience is different, well, that's not mine.

Softball is really the only sport I pull for my alma mater over LSU. These were good games in the regionals and LSU's bats woke up. Alex Stewart's pitching was not as good as it has been, LSU batters very likely had something to do with that. The home run was foul but it was not the difference in the game. Could it being called a foul and possibly getting an out on the next pitch have changed the complexion of the game and givien UL an edge? Possible but doubtful. Regardless, this is how it works on judgement calls, sometimes the benefit you, sometimes they don't.

win the CWS!
