NCAA Softball Selections

Brokebackettes. Clever. Boy, are we "big time."

Yes..yes we are if I do say so myself.

This from a man with his 47,000 Charlie Brown and Lucy comments?

If you can't see the difference between expecting the NCAA to stay true to its history and screw our softball program with its seeding, and calling a team "Brokebackettes," then I don't know what to tell you.

Maybe you've forgotten the top 20 softball team the NCAA shipped to Arizona as a FOUR SEED in a 6 team regional. I haven't. Neither has Arizona.

Calling teams Brokebackettes? That's what kids on middle school playgrounds do.

See? Now THAT was clever.

Only Mercer, with an RPI of 41, got screwed worse than McNeese [46].

Of course, they knew going in that the Southland was a 1 bid league.

Saying one time, but going on and on and on and on about is whole nother story. You were acting like a child that wasn't getting his way. If you can't see the difference then I do not know what to tell you.

I don't think that was true. A lot of people had McNeese as one of the bubble teams and one of the last four out. Not a surprise that they didn't make it but to say they were a one bid league outright isn't correct. They were definitely in the hunt up to the last day.

I actually would have liked to see them make it. I don't think they stand a chance to compete with us year in and year out but it would be good to have a few programs around us that consistently produce winning teams. This gives us an opportunity to schedule close games against competition that helps our rpi.

You do realize that people on this board have been calling McNeese "Brokebacks" for a while right?

Why are you in a hissy about it all of a sudden?

Let's see...top 20 ranked team that was not ranked that high in the RPI in 2004 (Final 2004 NittyGritty report had us at #23). They were actually the 5 seed in an 8 team regional. We also eliminated #1 overall seed Arizona in that regional and advanced all the way to the if necessary game of that regional. Put us as the 2 or 3 seed in that regional and what does it change? Nothing.

Don't let those facts get in the way of you expecting them to 'screw' us, which is apparently their sole mission. The NCAA doesn't consistently screw us. The RPI did in the past, but thanks to Coach Lotief and Brian, the program has adapted and has learned to use the system to use the RPI to our advantage.

I had to laugh at the Northwestern/Northwestern State stumble and the Southern Alabama remarks. What bothered me was all the top seeds except UL had the animated "U". But in all fairness, how do you animate a pepper?

In a weird way, it is nice to know that she doesn't hate UL specifically, she just sucks generally.

You're a great Ragin' Cajun, Melrock. Of course, last time I said that about somebody, 4 pages of a thread got deleted.
