    Positive athletic and academic attitudes on the team can only contribute to the highest attributes, success and achievements of the team

    I think this team is so loaded that Oklahoma's 68 game winning streak could possibly be broken within the next three years and it might start a week from Saturday. Go Gators.

    Loaded as they may be, in the SEC with Oklahoma and Texas added, slim chance any SEC team goes on a run like that.

    OU wouldn't have done it when they did if they'd be in the SEC then.

    Please note. I said possibly. "Gotta" look at glass half full.

    btw...Heather Tarr has given up the USA National head coaching position. No replacement named. Could be Tim although I'm not predicting that.

    One of the all time greats that most Gator softball fans don't know about. Tremendous player.

    I haven't been keeping up with it, but what happened to Oxley? I saw it mentioned that she was injured?

    Give us your best guess. How many are there? I'm seven hours away and can't do it but I'd give my right arm to be there. Both arms in fact.

    All we publicly know is Tim has said she is getting much better and might not be available at the start of the season but he thinks soon. That's what he said in the interview I posted before. Red is going to be an extremely talented pitcher. Extremely talented.

    I would say about 100 attendees, looked like about 12-16 tables set up with 6-8 of those tables had 6 guests and 2/3 players per table. The remainder of the tables were guest only tables.

    Quick math, I’d say between the price of admission and the auction they raised about 20k to Florida Victorious.

    Of note, I didn’t notice a FV representative at the event and none were announced.

    Eva Brown was able to get a few Lagway signatures on some items (jersey and a football)

    It was a great event and the start of the season is a few days away.

    I agree with 1990's assessment of attendance and money.
