My morning complaint

I may not be the biggest softball fan, but I know softball is very important to a large number of Cajun fans, especially baseball fans.

How hard would it have been to move today's baseball game to 1100? Why not do something so simple for our most loyal fanbase?

This could have been done as soon as the girls won their game yesterday, and an announcement could have been made at yesterday's game .
I'm sure USA wouldn't mind getting home a little earlier, also.

Completely agree. Having both teams play at the same time THIS weekend doesn’t make much sense.

Concession workers, umpires, yellow shirts, security, radio, espn+ people

some here think it’s “just an announcement” and poof, all these things just work themselves out

That would require Maggert to make a correct decision which he rarely does.

Not to mention, it could have given the travelling softball fanbases an opportunity to check out Russo and watch a little baseball

Same. I have tickets to both. Baseball seniors deserve the support. Softball also deserves support in their regional winner's bracket game.

They at least could have started baseball a little earlier... like noon... to allow fans to show up to honor the seniors, watch a little baseball, then proceed to softball if desired.

A little foresight would have been nice.

I beleive NCAA controls the regional not us

I know that games move around due to weather. Maybe that’s one way ESPN lets you move it. Otherwise, it may be a “you’re playing at that time” thing.

Again, no idea of this is the case.

The recommendation from OP was to adjust the start time of baseball game, not the softball game.

Ah. Yep, it was. Comprehension struggling today.

I think this is a little unfair. This is a huge game for South Alabama. Playing a game that early changes the routine for a team, something coaches hate.

While I agree it would be nice, it’s not as simple as “well let’s support softball.” South Alabama couldn’t care less about our softball team.

Long day yesterday. Big game today. UL athletics is subject to criticism, many times warranted. This is a little different.

Well - if the softball game is quick - we'll head over to Russo to catch the end of baseball.

Why would the USA coach agree to that? Or be expected to?

Why would he not? To just be a dick?

Many times Sunday games are played at 11

Not disagreeing per say but they make moves it all the time for rain.

Oh, yes, the apple cart was disrupted yesterday for rain less than 24 hours ago. Hey, this is fun, let’s just do it again.

Just another foolish RP complaint and it’s not just a post this time, it is a solicitation for a whole damn thread.

Glad to see at least a couple posters here with a little sense.

Exactly. LSU (a much larger operation) was able to do it on the same day Thursday, but these people love to simp for the lazy people who run things here.

Your mindset is loical which is neither logical or local.

What about all the baseball fans that wouldn’t be able to make it to an 11:00 game that gets moved less than 24 hours before???

They must be doing the periodical poll intent on gaging the true number of Diehard Baseball/Softball fans.

Either that or the Athletic powers view attending two games as hard work.

This is a problem that the vast majority of universities will never have to deal with, but I’m finding it hard to see a legit reason, other than South objecting, that this game couldn’t have been moved.

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Those attending the baseball game didn't have to witness the debacle at Lamson.

So let’s say 500 people can’t make a 11:00 game time that they have less than 24 hours to adjust for.. kids sports Saturday morning, graduation….. whatever. So you’re telling my 500 people would sit in the heat through a baseball game then head to a softball game and sweat through that. Sorry don’t believe it. And even if they did, you still don’t possibly ____ off season ticket holders of your sport.
