2021 Ncaa Softball Regionals
So say today is the day that they will release the top 20 ncaa regional host sites for softball. That list will then be reduced further down to 16 host sites. Do you guys think the Cajuns will make the top 20 list?

I'd say probably the top twenty but probably not the top 16. We needed to win one of the games at Alabama.

I really dont think we will be on either list, which may work out for us. I dont want to be a 15 or 16 seed host. I would rather be on the road in a 8 or 9 seed regional.

Re: 2021 Ncaa Softball Regionals
1. Oklahoma
2. Alabama
3. Florida
4. LSU
5. Florida State
6. Arkansas
7. Oklahoma State
8. Washington
9. Texas
10. Arizona
11. Oregon
These teams I think are a sure lock for hosting.

Not sure but I think even if we are a host site that's all it is a host site not guaranteed to be a 1 seed at the site.

If we would host as a 1 or 2 seed it really doesn't matter because if both of those teams win there first game they meet in the second game anyway. If we host we should be confident with our home field advantage that we could win the regional that we hosted. I doubt we host and I don't want to host as a 15 or 16 seed and then have to go to UCLA or Oklahoma in the supers.

Why do you think A&M is a lock? Also, I would put UCLA on that list.

A&M? I didn't mention them. I think UCLA may not be a lock because of the covid protocols and UCLA is currently #1 in the RPI, but their facilities are not looked upon favorably when it comes to the postseason. They deserve to host and I think they will just probably not a guarantee. Would be tough to send them on the road as a 1 seed.

I meant A&M BR, refuse to call them LSU. By the way, I think it's ludicrous to name the host sites way before the end of the season. Makes no sense like everything else.

Oh that A&M. They will host, guaranteed. Arizona State will probably also host.

This is just a one time thing with covid. Should be back to normal seeding next season. Host sites will also have to be able to handle the covid testing and such. They announced early just so those sites can prep.

Re: 2021 Ncaa Softball Regionals
I personally see the Cajuns going to Baton Rouge or Austin. I would love for us to go to Arkansas and beat the breaks off those rednecks for not wanting to play us this season. Then I would love to go back to Bama in the supers and get some payback.

Re: 2021 Ncaa Softball Regionals
Based on simple math being 21 is greater than 20 or 16, I'd plan on driving east.

It is totally unnecessary, should be normal now.

Re: 2021 Ncaa Softball Regionals
If it just came down to facilities, Louisiana would host every year.
Even if not in the tournament.

We have a great facility, but in due time I think alot of these bigger schools will start dumping more money into there facilitys also. So somewhere down the road we will have to add some sort of renovations to keep up. I still wish we would replace the outfield fence with a padded fence. Does anyone know what the cost would be to do that?

I agree, but the NCAA is probably looking at liability issues and such.

Also padding on the brick walls down the lines. I've seen several injuries and near injuries from players running into the brick walls, never understood why they're not padded.

If you'd love to see the Cajuns go to Arkansas, then you'd love to see them lose. Arkansas is the best team in the SEC. I would love to see the Cajuns go to LSU. LSU has the most losses of any team in the top 25. Beth has it down. Play mediocre ball and go just above 500 in the SEC, lose 30% of all games, then get a 9 or 10 seed and a pretty easy road to the World Series. She is brilliant.

Good points! We wouldn't get a fair shake in either place, particularly Refineryville. I'd rather go to Austin or somewhere else where it would be a little more fair.

Probably RPI as well as facility.

Playing at Arkansas would definitely be tough. But I would love for us to get super hot and beat them strickly based off of them ducking us.

It will be more fair this year, only because, there is instant replay. So, the Cajuns will not get screwed like they did the last 3 years. The question is, when Aliyah Andrews gets a hit and she is out of the box, can that be reviewed on instant replay? She's out on every swing. Like her coach, she is brilliant. She knows she can be illegal and get away with it because the umps don't have the balls to call it.

I doubt they are tanking any of their games.

I don't think that's reviewable.
