Nope, UCLA didn't lose to Southern, but to an Arkansas team UL blasted 14-1 opening weekend.

It's softball, sometimes you just have one of those games. Hamilton hit the first two batters in the seventh, then an error on a bunt allowed two to score to tie it at 4-4. Southern then got their only hit of the game with an RBI double to win it.

_ I hear Southern has a pretty good club this year
LOL _

You hear wrong.

_ Errors are what's hurting them. If we go 5-0 next weekend no one will be worrying about losing to Southern. Although we won't go 5-0 playing like this

Wrong.

_ I sense a raginpagin poster meltdown once people realize that the girls lost to southern. _

You think the local message boarders will have a meltdown? Wait until you see what happens on the national message boards.

Well, if logic follows, Southern could beat UCLA. Anyway....

Wow, you didn't get the joke? and it's not the end of the world apparently you don't remember in 2007 we lost to Alcorn State and a few weeks later beat #2 Arizona State

like I said, if we go 5-0 next weekend no one will still be worrying that we lost to Southern, except of course, you.

_ You think the local message boarders will have a meltdown? Wait until you see what happens on the national message boards. _

Who cares?

_ This has got to be some kind of joke right? And if not, UL losing to Southern in Softball is ridiculous. _

You're right. But the softball teams over the years have had a tendency to lose focus and lose to a team or teams to which they should not lose. Never this early.

like I said, if we go 5-0 next weekend no one will still be worrying that we lost to Southern, except of course, you. Guess again.



Who cares?

Those who matter.

First road game of the season, had the game in hand until 2 hit batsmen and an error did us in. Let's look at a few scenarios:

1. We lose to Southern, then procede to beat Alabama and maybe Oregon (picking these two because they are both top 25) next weekend. I think people would realize we have a decent team.

2. We lose to Southern, then lose to both Alabama and Oregon. People will not care that we lost to Southern because it wouldn't matter because we couldn't beat quality opponents either. Moot point.

3. We beat Southern (as should be expected), then lose to both Alabama and Oregon. Again, people will not care because we had a great record coming in and didn't stand up well against quality opponents.

If we do what we need to do next weekend and throughout the rest of the season, this Southern game shouldn't hurt. If anything I bet it will help the team

Not saying I like it, just moving on..

Little of both...plus hit batters.

Hey it gave the the local tanktoppers something to chirp about on the DA website. They have had to endure weeks of nothing but stories of success by UL's basketball team and the softball team for weeks now. Some tanktop tool calling himself "colonel2008" (I wonder of that means he graduated from Nicholls like world famous tanktop fan Big Ragoo?) had to chime in on the softball loss in response to the story about the basketball team and in the story about the bus accident with the erroneous headline. So maybe it was a charity loss to keep the local tanktoppers from jumping off the Basin Bridge.
