AZ fan, thanks for the nice comments.
And yes, things are different when you aren't a BCS school and you don't have millions of dollars lying around. Thats why so many of us were deeply troubled when we got such a low seed. It was almost as if we lost our respect. And if we ever lose our respect or reputation in softball, we simply won't have enough money to get it back. Softball is the only sport where we regularly have the chance to compete for a national championship, so it's scary to think that we would lose that.
