The update I just got is Glasco is fine and traveling separately from the team to the regional. They left earlier. Today is his last day of quarantine.Quote:

I'm happy to report I was able to get tickets for each day on tigernet.com for a very reasonable price. So, I'm heading up to Clemson for the games. Go Cajuns.
Driving or flying? Good to hear that worked out!Quote:

Can members of the team give “traffic report” style updates at top of each hour in exchange for $NIL$?Quote:

So I lost something in the translation here, but Coach Glasco is still the Head Coach of the Cajun Softball team, right?
Hell yes.Quote:

He’s saying that more of the big boys are finally deciding to throw money at softball. When schools can go from not having a team at all to hosting a regional in less than 3 years, it will become harder and harder for schools like us to compete. Not an excuse, just a fact
That is correct.Quote:

I submit that if other schools are hosting and advancing in the post season every year and we are not, then we have misjudged the quality of one or more things on the list. Money don’t play the game.
The problem with UL softball is that they are in a mediocre conference. They dominate the conference but will likely never host because the rest of the teams really aren’t good, which brings down their RPI and SOS.Quote:

How many softball teams from the Sunbelt Conference are playing in the regionals?
One. Louisiana.
How many from the sun belt were playing in the tournament last year?Quote:

Unfortunately, I think it is quite possible that softball will go the way of women’s basketball. How well has Louisiana Tech done the last 15 years?
You didn’t clarify a timeframe. You said we will never host. We always schedule well in non-conference. If we don’t go 1-6 against Top 25 teams, I guarantee you we are in the conversation for hosting. Yes, it will be more difficult to host in the future with the influx of Power 5 competition, but to say it’s impossible is inaneQuote:

So UL isn’t in a mid major conference and they didn’t play any teams this year from any P5 conferences. Gotcha.Quote:
