We are usually on par or better than them so regularly splitting with them was commonplace. We are nowhere near them this year. They are levels above us. As much is pains me to say they could very well run rule us again in Lafayette. It’s gonna take a few years to get back to that level.

I don't recall a more lopsided loss.

The home field advantage has usually only accounted for a couple few points in any one direction.

We are not as far behind as you seem to think. Yes we have lopsided losses to Texas, Mississippi State and LSU. If you add their RPI together, it is 30. We also are 3-4 against Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama and Houston.

So 3-7 against the top 31 RPI. 10-3 vs everyone else. Our remaining Non Conference games are McNeese, LTUx2, LSU and aTm. We should go 3-2 or better in those.

In conference, only CCU has an RPI better than ours, and nobody else we play is as good as they were last year except ULM, and their current RPI is 63. I do not expect us to win every conference series this year, though I would not be shocked if we did. I do expect us to win every home series and at least 2 of our 4 road series.

We are every bit as far behind lsu and Texas as far as I’m concerned. I’m no softball expert by any means but my eyes have told me enough when watching us play against power houses. I don’t really care about record vs P4. If we actually competed against Texas lsu and Mississippi state maybe I’d agree with you a little more.

I believe you are pretty much accurate on your statement. We have a ways to go before we get to where we want and need to be in softball!

Agreed. We are two pitchers, 5-6 position players that can HIT!! behind at least.

Get back with me when you get your cranial rectalitis cured.

Next season will be make or break for “standards”. Perfect storm of NIL, CGG’s timing and the SBC got better arrived.

I know it sucks, I don’t like it either.

That seems right. I think our pitchers have done well in spurts, but we have been spoiled with good to great pitchers for decades now. Power bats are definitely a need.

I think we'll get there sooner than most think. Coach Aly and staff have not had a recruiting class or even a complete transfer portal opportunity. The players they signed in the summer from the portal were the best that they could get or wanted to get out of players that had not signed committed yet.

I'm excited to see what they will bring in after this season. But I feel there are plenty of bright spots ahead this spring before we get there.

Are you trying to say the standards went out the window for this season? So the team has no goals? Just because a new coach is here and Glasco left and the SBC got better doesn't mean the players gave up on the season. Go ask any coach or player if they don't expect to win the conference. We will see if they can.

Good "point"

Case in point, every run makes a point.

Point taken.
