He is the equivalent of the Vanderbilt Whistler, only more visible.

It appears that he is here to stay so it really makes no sense to keep bitching about it

Guy loves LSU , I see it both ways. Distraction but you guys have no reason to bitch bet only a handful of you attend softball games. I look at it like if you support the team and attend and he bothers you you have the right to bitch . If you sit at home like me shut the hell up. If he was such a aggravation coaches who tell him hit the road or keep it down. Downvote that’s my take on it.

Agree pisses me off. I don’t attend games so I have no business saying anything. When you pay more attention to him then game it’s issue.

Media day was today. I don't know how to link the YouTube video, maybe somebody can help me out with that.

I don't know if I've ever seen coach so candid with the media, I enjoyed her opening statement and she even cracked a joke about them "finally" using the transfer portal to address specific needs on the team. I was honestly indifferent about the start of the season but hearing coach talk about this team has me excited.

She all but confirmed that there were off the field issues last year but it is good to hear that whatever the issue was coach believes it's been fixed. Its also good the hear that the team is getting along well and the core group of starters are stepping up into leadership roles.

Video highlights: She said we will see the freshman pitchers quite a bit in the beginning, she is going to give them the ball and let them get the experience they need knowing Kilponen is right behind them to support them. Catchers will platoon and Carson is committed to helping Maci grow and get better. Redoutey is most improved, outfield is deep and talented, and the team has power up and down the lineup. She also mentioned Newland may see time at second so I think we will see the typical several different lineups and defensive configurations until SEC starts like in years past.

Officially excited for this season to start!

I know it frustrates some, but I've always liked Beth's approach during the early season tournaments. She usually plays a lot of players and looks at many combinations to see what looks best for the conference season.

There's where I always thought I had an advantage as a high school coach in Texas. We get to scrimmage on 5 dates during a 2 1/2 week period before our first game. We get to see a lot of practice innings against other teams. We get to see our strengths & weaknesses a lot earlier & clearer than if we intersquad.

Colleges don't really get that opportunity, so in my observation, that is where I feel Beth uses the tournaments to do her evaluations. Does it cost us a couple of wins? Absolutely, but as a coach, it's a part of getting a true evaluation of your teams. It's just a shame that it penalizes you when the NCAA Tournament selection committee sets up the brackets.

I request a sticky almost every day... I don't understand either...

Interesting... I quit looking at the Robocoach forum last year too when there was no moderation at all and so many spam/anonymous posts were flooding that board.
