This is what bothers you on a beautiful spring day before the start of the BR regional?

Would an 8 year absence in Omaha bother you with the baseball team?

This is what I hate about this board. The coach of the month “fire board”.
Who do we need to fire today? Get a fking life.

Softball is the sport that no one really cares about. Same as Volleyball. How many are upset that the Volleyball team does not win the national championship year in and year out?

I mean Oklahoma seems to be the winning team every year. Volleyball is big on West Coast and Big10. Texas has made some progress. Those sports are not heavily invested by fans here.

Football dominates in Fall. Baseball dominates in late spring and summer. Women's basketball and gymnastics fill a small void along with basketball in between football and baseball.

I blame DeAngelo Sanchez. LSU was consistently in the World Series until he started showing up with his belt and sitting behind home plate. No talent Jackass

They used to have this smokin hottie on the team when I was in grad school early to mid 2000s. I remember she was from La Jolla, CA only because Anchorman was the most popular movie at the time. I wonder what happened to her?

I’ll admit it is frustrating what her/coaching staff not be able to develop players better…


To what end? There are no multimillion dollar pro contracts waiting on said development to happen. It’s just softball.

Retard is retaining a coach being paid over $400,000 per year that hasn't come close to a NC in 8 years. $3.2 Million paid to be a mediocre program.

at lunch today they had the college world series on. In 45 minutes I saw no fewer than ten errors. They can't hit, they can't throw, they play like girls.....it's unwatchable. So no one cares - I don't think that coach should make more than 100K a year. I'd take it for that. And you'd have a better product. Because I'd drill the hell out of them.

Texas vs Florida was miserable to watch.


Tell us you don't understand the game of softball without explicitly stating so. You do realize the game of softball is much faster than baseball for a handful of reasons, right? So, even if what you are saying is true (it isn't, I watched the entire game), the faster pace can produce more errors.

Torina has been a very good coach at LSU: four CWS appearances, two 50 win seasons, and seven forty win seasons. Her LSU teams have played a top ten strength of schedule every year, and she has averaged 41 wins per year. I hope I did not confuse you with the facts.

Exactly. It's as if you can't like male and female sports
