(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

I forgot to look but if she is not pitching this weekend then it is highly likely she didn't make the trip. Staying home and rehabbing.

 

If you people think these girls played an easy preconference schedule, check out the current SOS for the SEC
MO 3
AUB 5
A&M 7
KY. 15
FL. 20
AL. 26
LSU. 40
SC. 46
GA 48
TX. 60
ARK 61
MS 84
MSU 124
TN. 129
OK. 211

 

OU is laughable. And yet that earned them #1.... hope SC takes that and doesn't let the moment be too big. And I know OU is still good, but they shouldnt be ranked over FL and Texas for being undefeated with that schedule in my opinion.

 

I think we could get a sweep but I wouldn't be suprised by anything. I don't mind us not being at 1.... being under the radar so to speak isn't bad

 

Let's hope Nolan is wrong! lol

 

I read that wrong. My bad. I would be beyond shocked if we got swept.

 

Im seeing his model predicting a 7-4 Gator victory on Friday.

I don't know how well this will format. This site apparently won't allow uploading a word document. I've tried several ways and it keeps saying "not an allowed extension". I said before the season started that I would track broadcasts for every SEC team and FSU and UCF. Now that the SEC season is starting, I'm finished. I am sure the following isn't 100% correct as I surely missed a game or two for some teams. For instance, I bet I missed some home broadcasts from UCF, USC and probably Bama and Texas. Anyway, and with some probable errors, this is highly reflective of just how far behind UF is compared to everyone else. (Yep, formatting is out of alignment from what I actually created but it appears to all be there. Reading across...team name....total broadcasts.....home broadcasts with the percentage of home games broadcast.)

2025 Broadcasting



Team Total Broadcasts Home Broadcasts (Pct. Of Home Games)

UF 9 5 (36%)

FSU 20 10 (100%)

Tennessee 20 6 (100%)

Ole Miss 15 6 (100%)

UGA 22 18 (100%)

UCF 20 15 (79%)

A&M 19 12 (100%)

Arkansas 10 3 (60%)

USC 18 14 (88%)

Alabama 19 9 (90%)

Missouri 17 0 (No home games)

Auburn 19 9 (82%)

LSU 16 15 (100%)

Texas 19 12 (92%)

Oklahoma 16 9 (100%)

Kentucky 13 0 (No home games)

Mississippi State 20 13 (100%)

 

Like the rankings but concerning the sweep Nolan can kiss my grits!

 

Warren Nolan uses some computer generated system probably based on rankings, home advantage, SOS, etc.., etc….. At this point of the season, I would think the potential error would be substantial. Predicting scores for individual games is just plain ridiculous.
At this point of the season nobody knows how the teams will, perform under the pressure of SEC play. Stats show aTm team batting .341 and ERA of 1.78 compared to Gators .403 and 1.58. With Rothrock hurt, I would rate pitching-Even. UF has the advantage in hitting that should offset any home field advantage. Mentally, we have the 4 wins last year. My guess is we win series. Who the hell is Warren Nolan, anyway?

 

One thing I know is a lot of our Gators have “IT/CLUTCH factor “ that no computer algorithm can measure. Without Rothrock I think we win 2 of 3. Obviously I’d love us to get the sweep but I think sweeps will be rare this season for every team.

 

Lol, I think I’ll just watch the games and see what happens.
