Texas Tech walks off against Jordy Bahl and Nebraska in the 7th, 6-5. Canady did not pitch but she put Tech back in the game in the sixth with a 3 run bomb.

Re; Broadcast problem.
In response to my pestering CTW he replied problem was way above him and passed it along to Steve McClain Senior Associate Athletic Director
Strategic Communications, Live Broadcast Productions.
He emailed me and offered to call me and discuss the matter..
In response, I sent the following reply:
Dear Steve

Thanks for your email and offer to call and discuss my concerns about softball game video not being available again this year.

You are off the hook-no need to call me as I could care less about the coordination or finances or other reasons why not.

I pestered Coach Walton, Ms. Lauren Staff (A great hire!) and Mr. Spagnuolo before the schedule was finished to lobby for the games.

I am not going to repeat all the stats I provided about how far UF is behind other SEC (including OMG Miss. Sate) and Florida schools in broadcasting games. You know all that. It is embarrassing and should have provided incentive to correct the situation years ago. Get the job done, now!

Besides satisfying fans, I would think the availability of broadcasted games could be a factor in recruiting and keeping players. The exposure to this successful team enhances the UF image.

I suggest you might want to troll or even contribute to the ongoing softball thread on the Gator Country, Diamond Gators forum to see what other fans are saying on this subject: (SB) - Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

I will get off my stump now.

I am copying Coach Walton with thanks for the help and for being a great coach and leader! Also, Lauren with thanks!

Thank you for your patience and no reply needed or expected.

Go Gators!

I have done all I can do as an individual to get the wheel greased. I am finished and do not plan any further activity.
If the forum members and fans could contact UAA administration as a unified group it may carry more weight. Maybe a petition or such.

To Rick. Hope the swelling has gone down. Taylor is the real deal.

Lol, all that whining and you run and hide when you get a real response from someone willing to talk about it.

It's only a very very small sampling, like 5 at bats, but based on last year and these early games, should Comia or Hovermale get some nods at DP before conference season starts so we can see if one of them can give consistent at bats in that spot?

How about Letting TW make the call and you sit back and enjoy it? He seems to have the pulse of the team a bit.
