Just keep her until her contract runs out. It’s not that big of a deal.
This. No bonuses or extensions. Cut her loose when her contract is up.

They have a freshman pitcher that has potential to be the best since Hoover, throws harder right now that Hoover ever did..potential don’t win games I get it but she has a chance
Who is this freshman phenom and why haven’t we seen her? If she’s raw talent and it’s up to Beth to develop her, I wouldn’t set my expectations too high. Beth has had plenty of weapons before and done nothing with them.

Miss St hasn’t surpassed LSU, they have never hosted a regional and they have passed us? Nah!! What does Miss St have that we don’t ? A elite pitching coach with 2 pitchers better than anything we got. They hit far far below what we do!
Ok Beth. Whatever you say.
They're one win away from knocking off OU on the road. Moo State's been mentioned as a program on the rise. I didn't see LSU anywhere in that discussion. My point is that Beth has had both elite pitching and strong hitting at the same time and still came away with nothing.

This game is simple get an elite pitcher or you don’t have a real shot.
I agree, but we did have elite pitching for three years with Hoover and Walljasper, and still weren't able to get it done.
As another poster said, Beth is doing all she can, but is it good enough? If the athletic admins are satisfied with LSU being a middle of the pack SEC program that occasionally might overachieve, then by all means keep her. That said, even Moo State has surpassed us in softball now. Bama is good again, and we have two national softball powerhouses in Texas and OU in our conference. It's not going to get any easier for Beth going forward. She had her chances and blew them all. I don't see her taking us to the next level.

We are a mediocre team with a mediocre coach who couldn’t win the big one when she had the studs pitching and hitting in 15/16.
This should tell you all you need to know about Torina. She couldn't win a title of any kind (regular season title or SEC tourney title) with a loaded roster for 3 years. She won't win anything. Just cut her loose when her contract expires.

I saw it a couple of days ago. I liked it but didn’t think it was anything amazing.
If you go in expecting/hoping for straight up horror and/or gore then you will be disappointed. It’s not that kind of movie. I’d even go so far as saying that it’s more disturbing than it is scary. Still, the acting is probably the best I’ve seen in a horror movie since Hereditary. Inde Navarrette is fantastic and Michael Johnston is equally good. They carry the film since it’s essentially all about them. It’s creepy as hell but also tragically sad at the same time. Curry Barker’s decision to have Nikki scream over the closing credits was genius. What a way to end it.

Beth is a good coach but she has not been good enough at this point to engage a broader portion of the fanbase, she has to earn that now
I have nothing against Beth as a person. She seems like a nice lady and is a good ambassador for the university. That said, I think she has peaked and her best days are behind her. If she couldn't win a title (not even an SEC title) with a team loaded with talent (Hoover, Walljasper, Simmons, Bell, Jaquish, Andrews, etc.), then she never will. I don't see us rolling into Tuscaloosa and beating Bama twice. They have dominated us in softball in recent years, and I don't think that stops this season.

She’s was basically a prisoner. Between the phone call and what she was saying while she was asleep I keep wondering where her consciousness went. The phone call made me think she was somewhere surrounded by total darkness or maybe observing everything that was happening without having any control.
SPOILERS:
Agree. The "real" Nikki was trapped inside "freaky Nikki." Her consciousness was still there. When Bear's death finally set her free, she immediately regained control.

And would’ve been fine.
True. She's more in the line of what most people visualize when they think of Helen. A classical beauty.
It's clear that Nolan made it a priority to assemble an ethnically diverse cast, which is fine I suppose, but strangely, I don't see any Greek actors in there anywhere. If there are, they are in minor roles.

I don't think she is entirely unattractive, but she's playing a character who is supposedly the most beautiful woman in the world. So beautiful that she started a war. I don't think they did a great job of casting here.

i was under the impression that Interstellar was her last movie. she "left" to raise her kid(s) or so from what i remember.
this was the only movie i was aware of her being in lately.
She was just in the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. She was in some weird lesbian "horror" movie call Mother Mary. She's in The Odyssey and another movie called Verity, as well as The End of Oak Street, all of which have had trailers drop in the past month or so.

The sets and landscapes look amazing and then they start talking lol.
Exactly! Having Tom Holland's character call Odysseus "dad" immediately took me out of the scene. I guess Nolan wants to update the classic story for "modern audiences", which usually never goes well.
Also, what's the deal with Anne Hathaway? She's in everything. She's become the female version of Pedro Pascal.
