Whoops! Softball spoiler

I'm not saying our softball team is an embarrassment at all. It was more a statement about the rest of our athletic programs. Our softball team is the only sport that hasn't embarrassed me over years. Do you get what I'm trying to say?

_ Having a program as good as our Softball program should NEVER be an embarassment to a fan. The programs who fail to play up to softball's standard are the ones to be embarassed about. _

Hear! Hear!

There are 250+ NCAA Division 1 Softball Programs in the USA. Our softball program is consistently rated in the top 10% of those. That is NOT an embarrassment!

I can't wait for softball and baseball to be rewarded with (hopefully) the first-class facilities they've earned as our most consistently successful ambassadors to the rest of the NCAA.

That said, does anybody know - or can venture a guess - as to how long construction will take? I'm not talking so much about when it will start. I know that's likely a couple years down the road. But will the new Lamson, for example, be started and finished in one offseason? Or will there be some goofy plan in place akin to new NFL stadiums being built where the ladies will have to play at another site for a season while waiting for the park to be built?

Just curious. I know there probably aren't any answers available for that. But if I had to list the 5 projects I'm most excited about, they'd be New Lamson, New Tigue, New athletic dorms, Rail system, and Cajun Field upgrades, so I look forward to finding out any and all new information on these projects.

Couldn't agree more. It's amazing what these two programs have accomplished on a shoestring budget. Providing a better venue for both can only enhance their ability to attract top notch student-athletes and continue winning at a national level (NCAA tourn/World Series participation, etc). We already have a solid tradition in these two programs, so this can only help make it even better!

Anyone have any information on the new baseball facility? Haven't heard anything (and the info prior to that was minimal) since the big donor lost much or all of the promised donation in the Stanford Financial Group scandal.

I heard that the work will be done and completed in this off season.
