    Just gotta see how this year plays out and go from there. We're picked to finish 7th or 8th in the SEC this year by people who know much more about the teams than I do. Our conference is loaded and gets even more brutal next year with Txas & Oklahoma coming in. With the additions of Otis and Erickson to the lineup, plus getting Goddard back to go with these great freshmen, this was expected to be a powerhouse offense. That hasn''t shown out so far. Regardless of the gaudy offensive numbers, against Oregon State, Michigan (2), Oklahoma State and UCLA (5 games total against quality pitching) we've scored a total of 5 runs. Our SOS is #193, RPI #49. I'm cautiously optimistic (thus the optimistic emoji), but still in a wait and see mode.

    College softball is a hoot. You never know what is going to happen. Example: Jax just beat FSU. Gators crushed Jax 19 - 1 over two games.

    Believe in miracles. Louisiana with Lexie and Sam are three outs away from beating Oklahoma. Cajins up by 1.

    Oklahoma got 2 in 7th. Extra innings. Miracle slipping away.

    La scores top 7 on error, OU ties it on an error in bottom 7, La takes lead partially due to error then Roe drives in 2 more unearned (her first hit of the game)

    7-5. Thank God UL didn't give it away again. Telling you.... I don't think OU wins this year. They jsut aren't as sharp as usual. Not jsut talking about this game... been several games. Congrats to UL and Roe.

    Sam hit a 2 run single in the 8th. Drove in winning run. Good for her.

    I’m very optimistic! I am going to sit back, watch this team learn and grow, and I am going to enjoy the ride.

    For Skylar’s sake, I hope it happens this year. But that’s me being a Skylar fan

    Fordham is bad. 5 & 10 and run ruled by both Jax & N Fla.

    OU fans throwing tantrums over the ncaa softball page posting about Louisiana win. I just imagine the crying if Texas becomes the new number 1 in next weeks polls.

    If Texas didn't have a loss I would say they would be.

    The No. 4 LSU Tigers (19-0) went 6-0 in their own Purple and Gold Challenge — capped by a pair of grind-it-out games over McNeese (2-1) and Louisiana Tech — to become the nation’s only remaining undefeated team after UL upset previously unbeaten and No. 1 Oklahoma, 7-5

    They won't go to 1 unless they play some actual teams and win. For all the talk of UF and Bamas schedule, LSU is right there with them. I figure LSU will do like always and be a super contender and that's it.
