Softball Conference Tournaments of RPI Interest

so that’s what it takes for you to be excited about girls sports

Our volleyball coach gets my old geriatric keister excited about women’s sports. I have to rush back home once the games are over so I don’t waste the blood flow. Don’t know how many left I have at my age.

That was a crazy 14 inning affair between Auburn and Georgia. Auburn gets a two out three run bomb in the top of the 14th to go up 5-2. Georgia gets a no out three-run bomb in the bottom to tie at 5-5 ... then gets a solo shot with 2 outs to win 6-5. Nothing like playing a doubleheader in your opening tournament game.

I'll have to watch the replay!

I'm guessing McNeese just wanted some extra wins on the resume to make themselves look good to the committee. It will be funny to see them double dip Southeastern Louisiana in the finals. McNeese won over Houston Christian tonight, 8-6.

Made my skin crawl pulling for TSAB, but it was big because the Bama loss helped us too. Don’t know if I can do it again. Is it that big a deal if I’m a Vols fan today?

Haven’t looked at the RPI last couple of days, but I’m assuming UL just wants Arkansas to lose today.

Miss State and Alabama losing yesterday was nice. LSU winning tournament probably helps UL a little but not enough for me to pull for them!

If I am interpreting the information correctly the difference to our RPI between an LSU win and and LSU loss is .00033, but don't hold me to that. I could be off by a factor of 10.

It is a small difference, but could be significant.

We would have preferred that MSU won yesterday and today, then lose tomorrow. We definitely want Arkansas to bet Missouri; if we win and Missouri loses, we will possibly pass them up, but Arkansas will not pass us up by winning.

We also want South Carolina to beat aTm.
