    Totally Agree. CTW won't do this of course but he has so much talent he could start all 7 freshman plus Brooke and pitch Olivia and win most of the non conference games.

    At some point in time, someone in the UF hierarchy will realize the importance of providing game video is not only to satisfy fans like us but, also, is an important part of the recruiting process. Just think, Oklahoma, UCF, and Mississippi State can tell recruits and their families that “ALL OUR GAMES LAST YEAR WERE AVAILABLE LAST YEAR. UF CHOSE NOT TO STREAM 10 GAMES PLAYED IN GAINESVILLE!” To parents, family, friends and former coaches who can not attend games, being able to see every game can be an important point.

    You can rest assured that Coach will go very deep into the roster vs lesser opponents. He always has used those type games to get backups plenty of reps. We will see a lot of the roster early in the season

    Hey I have some questions on how the Plaza seating works if anyone has ever sat there? Listed as General Admission, but can you bring your own seating? Trying to plan a family trip for some games.

    I heard from CTW after I made a email enquiry. 2025 Softball First Pitch on the Diamond is scheduled for the evening of Saturday, February 1st. Details will be forthcoming.

    There have been times when the bus is warming up and we are desperate to give them outs. I forget which pitcher it was during preseason last year, but her first at bat when we were trying to end the game but she got a huge hit and the dugout went wild.

    I had Plaza seating for a year. They have beach chairs there, but you can bring your own seating to sit in. It is really just like general admission.

    Interesting, I didn't know Plaza seating was a thing -- is it the same ticket as GA berm or is a different ticket required for that area?

    I couldn’t get the Instagram picture to open so I’m not sure about Lauren’s involvement.
    I sent a follow up request to Ms. Staff this A. M. Concerning what games are going to be broadcast.
    I told her about the cute idea countdown pictures and sent today’s picture of Taylor. I had previously invited her to join the Forum so she could get the feel of the fans.
    Unfortunately, her final reply indicated the broadcast schedule is not finalized.

    I asked for new player photos last month and told her what I was doing. She provided me for what I needed. I guess she thought it was a good idea.

    Let’s all hope spell checking is the only thing AI messes up. P.S. I love you SkyNet spare me :)

    I agree with this even though i don’t need too lol. CTW has everything under control. Not his first rodeo with a super stacked roster and ridiculously high expectations. I trust in him and now Francesca also. We all should. Not gonna be just a great season, foundations of a dynasty are being built!
