You hit the nail on the head. For years we dominated teams with our hitting and pitching. No more. Lotief goes out and recruit girls that might not be looked at by elite softball teams and teaches them softball. Maybe we better start looking for recruits that might not need so much teaching. Next year will be the rebuilding year. Not giving up on this team yet, but we better start winning conference games.

Feb 23-24, 2011. FAU swept us by the score of 1-0, 4-2 and 6-2.......last sweep until maybe tommorow.

Get decent pitching tomorrow and the girls will bounce back.

It's just so weird seeing the girls struggle like this. When's the last time there was a thread about our concern for softball before this year. Either way, lets just blame Farmer for our poor play.

It never fails---the peripheral crap kills you---the Haack girl wondering about the rings not to even be on the charts as compared to who the coach was/is---Anyway it is a phenomenon in sports--Gotta keep your mind on the game !!!!

I assume you are just talking about someone just give a good outing and not any particular pitcher. I don't have the damnest clue which one of our pitchers will do the job. Just flip a coin.

Wow! You're saying the Stinkin' Genius is wrong? Say it ain't so.

Just plain ugly right now.

The Lady Cajuns have been the class of the conference for a long time. The Sunbelt has been getting stronger in softball year by year. Stephanie Lotief was the head coach and pitching coach for many years. You can't just replace her and expect to not miss a beat in the circle and in the dugout. Mike will figue it out and get the right assistants in place. Keep your head up girls, we're still behind you.

We must also remember that Joy Weber Leblanc called the pitches and worked with the pitchers the last 2 years. She unfortunately decided to leave mid year. It is hard to find someone to replace Joy at mid-year. The better coaches already have jobs. Josh Johnson was brought in to help with pitching also, unfortunately, he has been out for a while, pitching for the US Men's National Softball Team. So guys, Mike has alot on his plate. He is basically having to coach every facet of the game. That is a huge task. In the end, I think they will prevail, although I do think they will have more bumps in the road.
