    He loves to slow down the game with multiple meetings....
    Though we have had to do it several times this year lol. He's just always done in a very intentional you know what he's trying to accomplish kinda thing.

    Do y'all remember the Louisiana coach who used to walk from 1B to give the batter the sign? That was very annoying.

    Here is something I did back in November 2022. It is technically outdated, but I don't think anyone has passed the top six.

    A couple of things stuck out to me. I would not have thought that Taylore Fuller, or Taylor Schwarz were hit so much.

    Kirsti was the queen lol. If Goddard played full time all 4 or 5 years.... she would've been at the top too.

    lol....Syracuse just walked off against FSU 4-3. FSU's 3rd run was on a wild throw by the catcher to third trying to catch a stealer. I'll let others dissect how many runs 'Cuse pitchers gave up versus us. (Don't laugh too hard....'Cuse took the series from VA Tech a couple weeks ago but their stadium is worse than most high school fields.)

    Is getting hit by a pitch something to be proud of or “my chances are really good, if I can’t hit, I’ll crouch the plate, get hit on the sleeve and I’m on base”.

    I understand we don’t like Noles but Gators want teams they have beaten to win. Helps their RPI & KPI.

    I’m pretty sure Gators will host a Regional.

    They will host a regional, but seeding is huge and an outside shot at a super regional

    Very outside shot at Supers. No big deal, if you play like a team anything can happen

    That's what he has on today, but I thought I've seen him in straw hats before. Maybe not. I knew it was some kind of goofy-looking hat.

    Quit playing so many “Cupcake Teams” at the beginning of the season would solve them.

    Yes, we are aware of all that....but the fact remains the better the seed the clearer the path to OKC, that's simple logic.

    I don't think it's as outside of a shot as you think. We played our way into one in 19 when we were way on the outside. We have the opportunity to do it again.

    D1 softball released the latest regionals and if we win our regional it has us going to Stanford. That’s a tough pitcher.

    Arky lost game 1 to Ole Miss 6-0.....that's a very good thing for UF. Helps drop them below us in national seed conversation and SEC standings
