I sure wish the SID would write to the Polls and tell them that we are LOUISIANA and not Louisiana-Lafayette.

I guessed we'd move to 15 but this is good. More votes, slowly but surely

I can't believe #'s 17-18 dropped out but #19 A&M only dropped 3 spots after a TERRIBLE weekend. I promise if that were us we'd be out

  COLUMBUS, Ga.-The South Commons Stadium & Complex and the Columbus Sports Council will once again play host to the NFCA Division I Leadoff Classic. The tournament is scheduled to take place February 27-March 1, 2009. This will be the 14th consecutive season in which the South Commons Complex has hosted the tournament.

The Leadoff Classic has established itself as one of college softball’s premier tournaments, sending seven of its 13 previous champions to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series.

This year’s field once again features some of the top collegiate teams in the nation, including nine teams that were ranked in the USA Today/NFCA Preseason Top 25 Poll and another three that received votes. Fifteen teams in this year’s field advanced to the 2008 NCAA tournament, including three Women’s College World Series participants, making the 14th Annual Leadoff Classic another battle of some of the nation’s best collegiate teams.

The nine preseason-ranked teams scheduled for the 2009 Leadoff Classic include No. 3 Alabama, No. 6 Louisianan, No. 8 Michigan, No. 9 Northwestern, No. 13 Houston, No. 15 DePaul, No. 19 LSU, No. 20 Virginia Tech and No. 22 Georgia. Alabama, Louisiana and Virginia Tech all appeared in the 2008 WCWS with the Crimson Tide finishing tied for third, the Ragin’ Cajuns tied for fifth and the Hokies tied for seventh. Michigan and Northwestern tied for the 2008 Big Ten Championship, with Northwestern taking the tournament championship and both teams advancing to Super Regionals.

Three additional tournament participants, Hofstra, UMass and Mississippi State received votes in the season-opening poll, while Florida State, Georgia Tech and Long Island round out the list of 15 schools at this year’s Leadoff that appeared in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Illinois State, Nebraska, Penn State, Ohio State, South Carolina and Southern Illinois round out the 21-team field.

Play is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, February 27, with games beginning on each of the facility’s six fields.

Nice. Our own SID can't even spell Louisiana. Must be an older article because we haven't been ranked #6 since the first week of the season.

Wonder where the CAJUNS will be ranked next week if they SWEEP!??

I would think they would be in the top 5. I am just hoping they can come away with 500 record in the Tourny.

I know there's on cajun radio for softball this weekend, but does anyone know if any of our opponents have the cajuns games on?

Why does every thread turn into "here's something else that sucks, that has nothing to do with what this thread is about? How about we discuss the cajuns softball on the field (preferably as it relates to rising 4 spots in the polls)? Start your own thread if you want to gripe about unrelated crap, will you? Hey, congrats to the lady cajuns, who just swept UCLA to win the national championship! Yeah, but the jerseys were lame. Didn't say "Louisiana" in bold enough letters. If that's the image we want to portray, we shouldn't even play sports. That's what you guys sound like sometimes. Enjoy the success, and complain about ULL in another thread. igeaux.mobi

OK. I'll refer to us as the rest of the country does since that doesn't seem to bother you. On a positive note, today's Advertiser showed profiles of teams within our bracket at the NFCA. You will note that Louisiana-Lafayette has winning records vs. Northwestern, DePaul and Florida State. UL L's records against these schools, plus Michigan are:

UL L vs. Northwestern - 1-0
UL L vs. DePaul - 2-0
UL L vs. Florida State - 3-0
UL L vs. Michigan - 1-2

Pretty darn good against BCS competition.
