(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

Lol....Taylor is also in Colorado. I think she heard about Layla's home run this morning because she had to respond this morning. A grand slam.

 

Y'all can keep trying to bust my chops about Taylor Shumaker and I'll just keep providing the evidence. I'm going to win. No doubt.

 

I hope you are correct about your prediction. If you are not and she has a Mia type BA her freshman season, I hope you like crow for dinner for you will be given many servings.

 

LSU is close to the top of my list.

 

My kids who are now in their 30s and up have always loved 70s music.

 

Im with you.

 

I still predict a roster where everyone hits over 300. That would be axesome

 

Know anybody else over half way through an elite travel ball season that hits well over .700? Go back as many years as you like.

 

Not to quibble but Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was released late in 1970. Great band. Their only studio album. Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, Jim Gordon and the incomparable Duane Allman.

 

When it comes to Taylor, I already stuck my neck out a year ago after the most dynamic entire elite level season I have ever seen. Was ripe for a come back since I didn't expect her or anyone to repeat that season. But, she is better this year. Now, when it comes to being a freshman in the SEC...I'll be mighty happy if she hits .300 or above with 7 or more homeruns and 40-50 rbis. Thrilled, in fact.

 

Back around 2000, or about 30 years after that album was released, I had been shacked up with a girl almost 20 years younger than me. Her taste in music was different than mine. I gave her that CD and told her to just go away and listen to the whole thing and then come back and tell me what she thought. She came back...."Wow. That was incredible."

 

Walton loves McClellen…don’t know how serious it is moving forward. IMO she would’ve been a comparable contributor as Ariel was.

 

Give her the Layla double CD.

 

I first started watching Cassidy when she played with Mia and Keagan on Tennessee Mojo when she would have been about 15. She moved from there to Tampa Mustangs-TJ and I could still see plenty of her games. I said last Fall that, given our dynamic 2023 Class, people were overlooking Cassidy and overlooking a kid who was second one year for Florida Softball Player of the Year and won it another year and were probably making a mistake. She's got some real tough competition in Townsen and Taylor, though.

 

Same year I was living in LaMancha apartments, I think that was the name, down the back street from the Education Building across 13th Street. Got lucky as I had transferred late and there were no dorm rooms left so I was allowed to immediately go off campus. Never did live in a dorm.

 

Exoect to be thrilled
