Ole Miss finished 8th in the conference and handled everyone in the SECT including Florida, Bama and LSU. That itself was a statement that everyone in the conference is that good. Georgia isn't very good but they played a lot of really close ones. Their D cost them like 4 SEC wins. Their D is bad. Pitching is inconsistent but capable. On offense they are pretty good. Would not take them lightly, they could easily put up some runs in a hurry
There's no doubt that the SEC has some talented teams this year, but if Ole Miss finished in 8TH PLACE in the conference, there's absolutely NO reason they're deserving of a host site, regardless of what they did in the SEC tournament. I get the fact that they beat some quality teams there, but their RPI wasn't even in the top 16. This is just my opinion, but Minnesota and ULL were just as deserving to host as Ole Miss or Kentucky.
I guess we just have to play with the cards we are given.

Tigerbait357 -
Thanks so much for the excellent posting and info for the past several years re. our thrilling LSU softball program. I always read all your posts in totality. You seem to be so much "in the know" and "on top of things" in everything LSU softball - respect your opinions very much.
Posting to help you and any other people/posters maybe not realizing yet attempting to equate ULL with being UL or University of Louisiana. Check their ULL uniforms that are clearly marked "Louisiana". How arrogant! Irks the living shite out of me (USL graduate) every time I see that (and I have seen it for year after year).
OK, not bad with UL-L. Still, it's officially UL Lafayette or ULL just as much as our northeastern Louisiana college (formerly Northeast Louisiana University or NLU) is now UL Monroe or ULM. Louisiana legislature has still not granted privilege to either college to distinguish themselves as being UL or "University of Louisiana". There are currently 9 total "Louisiana" colleges, not just only these 2 mentioned.
University of Louisiana at Monroe
University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Ignore the singular reference in the Wiki ULL link referring to UL as a name for ULL. Note 1984 failed attempt to establish USL as UL in text.
The real reason I am responding to you is that you at first mentioned in a post on p. 4 something about UL. UL is not correct name of this University. Can quote your post if asked. I am obviously missing some exchanges (probably some deletions) in the subsequent posts re. this subject where you now refer to them as UL-L, but I mean no harm in trying to get this ULL name accepted and stop this UL or "Louisiana" nonsense stopped.
I won't succeed. That's OK. Just a voice in the wilderness.
Grew up south of Lafayette. Lived in Lafayette 5 years while I got my degree in Chem. E at USL in 1967. Feel I'm qualified to promote name of ULL, not UL or "Louisiana". Latter irritates me to no end. I have gotten USL/ULL alumni news all these years and all of it is slanted to proclaim university as UL or University of Louisiana ("Louisiana").
Please stop this totally false proclaiming of "Louisiana" as ULL's name nonsense. Please. ULL or UL Lafayette is a great name. What! You guys are not proud of the city of Lafayette and it's name? Rhetorical question, since it's a mindset with certain individuals and no one person can authoritatively answer this. Still, I have always wondered this. What is really wrong with ULL or the city/name of Lafayette? Absolutely nothing, IMO...
Tigerbait357, keep up the excellent work. It's obvious you have a unique insight into our current LSU softball team. I have followed LSU all year (not ULL, FYI). I have no dual loyalties. LSU all the way. When LSU is not involved, I always root for ULL, McNeese, La. Tech, ULM, et. al. Louisiana teams.
Still, not sure if LSU pitching can handle the hitters of ULL. They are pretty good. Like past years. Will be interesting. I'm a little disappointed that more LSU games won't be shown on regular ESPN/SECTV. My ESPN3 is so slow.

They had an RPI of 23 before the tournament started. After wins over #1 Florida, a top 25 Alabama Team and LSU team on a neutral site. I would project RPI of Ole Miss to be around 18. Now, yes they finished 8th in the conference but they have a top 15 SOS as well. I think it was acceptable for them to host but certainly not as a damn 12 seed? I mean that is insane. I had them at 16 seed in my projections.
I do need to say I am extremely disappointed this year with the committee seeding. They essentially screwed over at least a 10 to 12 teams. You have teams traveling when they deserved to host. Now the regionals are F'd up for quite a few. We will see teams eliminated off the bat when they really should be advancing to Supers.

Come back to me after you get blown out of your own stadium again.

Oh, look at me, I can hit 83 HRs! It's going to be a big leap from high school to D1 pitching.
Any chance the scoreboard at Tiger Park will read Ooh La La?

You will have nightmares about DJ Sanders after this weekend.

You mean D1 pitching like A&M that gave up 11 to the Cajuns or Littlejohn of Alabama that got shelled losing 2/3 to UL?

You must mean University of Louisville, because Littlejohn only pitched 1.2 against the Peppers. Typical Ooh La La crap.

wow. the ragin' cajuns hoping 4 straight years hosting a regional has ended. Would have liked to see LSU and ULL make it to OKC. so much for that. Whoever has to go through FSU will have their work cut out for them also.
Jessica and Meghan in the circle are great for them plus you will be playing there in a super. This is a rough road this year. wow

you obviously do not pay attention. The cajuns beat bama and TAMU. Hitting won't be their problem. It will come down to pitching. Alex STewart may not be able to hold up on her own. Alyssa Denham looked good in a game i watched her this year but we shall see.
here are some stats for you:
#4 in batting average
#1 in runs scored
#1 in OBP
#1 in homers per game
#1 in slugging %

You do realize the cajuns have beaten LSU before and in a regional in Baton Rouge right? The fact you are ridiculing ULL shows you know nothing about softball or past history.

Cut the irrational non-sense.
Considering the fact that our RPI is at #15, I expected to host just like we have the past three years. You obviously don't pay attention to softball.

I hate that Lsu has to play ULL in a regional. Was hoping each would be hosting.

Both should be hosting. And now, LSU's regional just became 10x harder to advance for both schools.

They have still been far less successful than LSU in the last few years, and LSU at that time was still stuck in those days where they would struggle to scratch across 1-2 runs in a number of games against some of its best competition.

"Far less successful" is a stretch. Since 2012, we've been to 5 straight super regionals with a WCWS berth in that mix.
