    I was asked by a Moderator to start this thread, along with another one to cover ALL other NCAA Regionals, Super Regionals and World Series games not involving the Gators. This thread will only deal with the Gainesville Regional and Super Regional if the Gators advance. If they then move to the WCWS, this thread will only follow Gator games in OKC. So here goes:
    Gainesville Regional – Gainesville, Florida
    Florida is the #4 seed, 46-12, #7 RPI, #11 SOS, #5 KPI
    Florida Gulf Coast, 37-19, #60 RPI, #88 SOS, #77 KPI
    South Alabama, 32-18-1, #33 RPI, #38 SOS, #35 KPI
    Florida Atlantic University, 41-14, #41 RPI, #100 SOS, #34 KPI

    Weather looks very bad for G'ville on Satuday. Rain starting early morning and raining all day and night. Looks bad on Sunday until mid to late afternoon when it clears up.

    Friday, it's nice.

    The thought of a South Alabama team coming to Gainesville for a regional makes me cringe. Oh wait that's a baseball thing. I believe this Gator softball team has the makings for a long run more so than that 2021 Gator baseball team.

    Just for fun, if the weather is really bad, here are the rules for who advances if the regional can’t be completed by Monday. I think these are still in place?

    Only the third time Gators have taken an 8 game winning streak into regionals and on both previous occasions got to WCWS.

    They definitely seem to be firing on all cylinders right now. Keep the hammer down!

    Hoping we get a window to play our games at least.... assuming we win out. We don't need our girls playing later in the night or Monday with a super looming.

    According to WeatherBug, Saturday should be fine. Sunday is the problem for sure.

    Florida weather changes a couple of times a day. Now it's showing Saturday is fine, but predicting rain Sunday until 3 pm. Will change again over the next couple of days. This time of year, who knows?

    If you don’t like the weather here, just wait a few minutes.

    I’m optimistic our games will happen. I just feel bad for the grounds crew potentially having to roll out the tarp every few minutes lol.

    It can always be worse, like living in Louisiana, where it’s worse than Florida according to me.

    It is raining at this moment at KSP. My prediction is that we get the game in, with a delayed start.

    I hope the SECN still televises the game whenever it starts. Otherwise, it'll be on ESPN+, which I don't get. Seems like the powers that be aren't going to let any of the softball games be on SEC+.
