After game observations from Tiger Park

[RaginDave]

I bet they hire the South Al coach next, they need to find someone that has had success vs UL in softball and that is a short F'n list. They will keep trying until they can defeat us. The only way I see that happening is if they get Mike to go their and their is a slim chance in H.E Double Hockey sticks of that happening.

Beth had some success against us, at least in Florida. She may be in for a tough time if she is relying on Howard Dobson to teach her kids how to hit.
Becky is first up for the Auburn opening.

Mike will never coach at LSU. They offer nothing that he actually wants. He's only still coaching today because he loves the University of Lousiana and the kids he coaches. And that's BARELY enough to keep him grinding.

To both Lctish and Jllanclos, my post was sarcasm at best. I dont think either the USA coach or Mike will end up at LSU, I was kind of kidding that this would be the only way they can beat UL!

My observations from being at the game.
3. LSU's hitters are not very good. They had Jordan right where they wanted her and could not get it done.

1. It was not that they were bad, Jordan was better. A good pitcher will do that.

2. I wish she had help. Without another pitcher we cannot go very deep into the fray we are hoping to join.

3. We easily outnumbered their fans 3-1

4. It was nice to attend a game and have the PA announcer act normal. He made the players the center of attention, instead of himself. He called us UL until someone got to him on days two and three.

The thing that I noted was the LSU fan who was keeping track of the timeouts by the Cajuns. I am glad that she kept track of the number of times that Michael went out and coached the team, because those meetings proved to be one of the reasons why UL came away with the win. . . again.

that LSU wanna be fan actually sounded like a moron.

Torino seemed clueless...which, I guess, is why her timeouts were minimal.

From the Advocate: “Congratulations to ULL, they have a quality team and a quality program,” Torina said. “Obviously, this is not what we were expecting. This is not the type of softball we have played all year. We’re better than what we showed this weekend. We’re a quality program, and I think that’s what matters.”



I think she is clueless regarding what tanktop tiggah fans expect. Her postgame comments will not endear her to them or contribute to a long tenure, especially the last line. I don't think they will tolerate losing (especially to UL) as long as they have a "quality program".

If you have to keep reminding everyone that you are a quality team and quality program . . . maybe you're not. If they would play UL during the regular season then perhaps they would see the same results during the season. In addition, if UL and LSU would play a home and home series each, the Cajuns and Tigers might not be matched up so often in the post-season. Maybe that is a reason for the Cajuns not to play the Tigers during the season. Let them host a regional we can win.

Good point! Also, we were screwed over last year with regard to seeding. We were ranked near 10th or better and then get seeded 16, so we can play #1 in the supers. Better to be seeded where we were this year.
