    Don't beat on an OU degree. I know UF is a top notch ranked University but the people who graduated from OU do quite well in their own right. Remember they have war chest for their sports that makes ours look like paupers. Their top 10 donors can buy and sell all our Bull Gators combined. I have no idea what Mamba's degree is in but I am pretty sure it is covered by OU as well as UF. As I reported right after the WCWS, Canady was all set to come to UF right up until OU started throwing out stupid money. I imagine she is thinking it through and figuring out what her real goals in life are. Whatever she decides, we will be a contender next year!

    Lol.....we ain't going undefeated and there is NO guarantee we even win it all. And yes, if we managed to do any of those things I would enjoy it immensely. But FYI, all those players I menioned are each All American types. Wallace, Otis and rickson are certainly in the conversation for best player in the country....let's not act all innocent like these are not the best of the best.

    LOL! Somebody should help arrange a visit to a psychologist for a bit of help for Porchegator with his unhealthy views of reality. :D

    Get me an appointment ET and I will be there. You don't understand. I live in northern Ohio and get to cheer for the Cavs, Indians, and Browns. Now you understand why I might be a nutcase and struggle with reality.

    One of the smartest decision I ever made was NOT telling my daughter it was a mistake to pursue a Humanities degree when she started at UF in 2004. I was rewarded on our way back to Jax that Thanksgiving during her second semester. She told me she'd already realized that she wouldn't be challenged academically, and that most of her fellow students seemed to be OK with that. She went on to tell me she had changed her major to Business, with a Finance minor. She's 15 years into a nice gig at a Merrill Lynch Wealth Management subsidiary.

    What i find interesting is no artical ive read puts UF as a dedtination for NC. Are we the delusional ones or are the so called experts ignorant to be kind.

    Life is challenging, so one needs to “academically” challenge and constantly looking to reinvent one’s selves to keep up with an ever changing world. Your daughter the correct choice!!

    I'm not delusional and still have to see it to believe it. But the articles? Just pure B.S. They don't know anything more than you or I.

    Why does everyone think UF is such a prestigious university? Perhaps some of them graduated from UF decades ago and think it's still the same. Uf is a great school but it is not on the level as Stanford, Vanderbilt, Ivy league schools, or for that matter Texas or even Arizona State depending on program. Most of the reason UF gets high rankings is affordability. Our tuition bang for the buck is hard to beat. Sure we have a couple of top notch majors and post grad programs but we really are not the top of the heap. And before anyone chastises me for that statement, my wife and I both went to college here and have 2 kids that graduated in the last 2 years. It is not what you remember if you attended UF longer than 20 years ago. So all this talk about giving up a UF degree for OU or OK St or even Bama is just nonsense. Depending upon degree desired there could be dozens of schools that can offer the education needed. I hope she considers the competitive environment, the family atmosphere and quality coaching. Very little chance she is looking for something that 10 other top 25 teams can't give her and if she is on any of those rosters, she can make that top 25 program a WCWS participant. I hope it's us but let's not kid ourselves, most UF degrees are not worth anymore than an OU degree,a UNC degree or a Texas degree. Now I will wait for everyone to tell me how dumb I am and who is this nobody poster talking crap.

    Not that I agree with you but one of the primary problems today is political interference by Neanderthals who are hell bent on destroying everything UF has stood for before this. And, not wanting to start a political diatribe, I will leave it at that.

    TBH the only articles I’ve come across regarding Canady are pro OU articles.

    I saw on Twitter today from some softball account that Canady is rumored to sign with us? Let's all take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but that would big. I do worry about playing time for our other pitchers if they get Canady. How do we balance the other arms' time on the mound for the future?

    Well balance was certainly not how I would describe this past season. Keagan had to pitch an inordinate number of innings. She did a masterful job I might add. That being said, Canady would provide a formidable combination with Keagan and Ava. Not only that, the synergy that would be created between all the pitchers would benefit and lift the entire pitching staff to a whole new level. Haven’t a clue whether Canady is coming but certainly wouldn't worry about problems if she wears the O&B.
