February 20, 20205 yr Watching just to see the play. They didn’t score a bunch but they hit the ball pretty well, just not to the right spots. Some free outs via sac bunts as well. I like the jerseys but why gray at home? It’s not part of a tournament that I’ve heard. Unt uniforms nice looking as well Edited February 20, 20205 yr by Pato del Muerto
February 20, 20205 yr Watching bot 9 now, leadoff blooper by Iakopo probably should have been caught by RF too, she didn’t exactly break hard on it.

February 20, 20205 yr Wouldn't surprise me if we see UNT in our regional come tourney time. That team will win a lot of games with their pitching Edited February 20, 20205 yr by perfectchaos007

Have to see how it shakes out with A&M and UH and Texas State. All 3 of those are more likely to come to Austin than UNT.
February 20, 20205 yr Author It doesn't affect us this weekend, but there are some FANTASTIC games being played at the Mary Nutter this weekend. Arizona-Missouri Florida-Arizona OU-Washington UCLA-Florida ASU-Florida Washington-Northwestern Honestly, our home tournament of Lipscomb, NDSU, Duke and Weber State should give us some rhythm, without getting beat up, because ULL, UCLA and Garman (Washington, Michigan).

To bad ESPN isn't carrying some of those games. Should be some excellent games. I have a question about parking. We're coming in from Wichita Falls for the Louisiana game Tuesday. What parking lots are we allowed to park in? Can we expect to have to pay? Can we do a little pregame tailgating?
February 20, 20205 yr https://texassports.com/feature/sbgameday https://utparking.clickandpark.com/venue bschoolprof can offer better advice, but check the above links for parking. Note that you can order online. I would recommend one of the surface lots since the baseball team plays at 7PM (SHSU) and also for tailgaiting. Not sure how many of the ULL contingent will attend, normally have a good showing. Should note that limited free parking is available on the streets if you arrive early, especially for a weekday game.

February 20, 20205 yr Author Yes, I sadly cannot offer any current advice as I'm now 919 miles from Austin as opposed to 165. I think I've mentioned the ULL fans TRAVEL - and usually set up behind LCF. IIRC, they haven't been to McCombs since they knocked us out of the NCAA tournament in our home regional in 2011, I think it was.
February 20, 20205 yr I got a parking permit purchased. Thanks for the info. Really excited about the matchup Tuesday.

I took A&M and Arizona off my list. Oops. Aggy wins 7-6 over Arizona. A&M also plays OU

February 21, 20205 yr Author Day threw a 3 inning 1-hitter Adams walked the leadoff, but got flyout, groundout, groundout. To the bottom of the 4th 2 hits for Shannon 2 walks for Iakopo 2 hits and 2 RBI for Ellsworth (really nice to see) 2 hits and 3 RBI for Burke 1 HR and 1 RBI for Day (looks like an unreported substitution for something? shows Burke out on the HR play)
February 21, 20205 yr Author 1 minute ago, Pato del Muerto said: Yes to the substitution Weird. My first thought was that Burke didn't touch 3rd, but then I saw Texas Softball tweeted unreported sub.
February 21, 20205 yr 1 minute ago, Js1 said: Weird. My first thought was that Burke didn't touch 3rd, but then I saw Texas Softball tweeted unreported sub. I turned the game on after the hr but Lowell or whomever mentioned it briefly at the start of the 4th. They were confused as well.
February 21, 20205 yr Bench being emptied, popelka and Tedder and green hitting, already 11-0 and bases loaded. This one will be over as soon as rules allow.
February 21, 20205 yr Ok the issue was they subbed demargosian for Burke on the field, but white told the umpire she went in for Hathaway by mistake.

February 21, 20205 yr Btw they mentioned on the telecast that Texas pitching has allowed 5 xbh so far in 12 games, zero hr.
February 21, 20205 yr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_White_(softball) https://texassports.com/sports/softball/roster/coaches/mike-white/1650 If possible, can someone correct Mike White's Wiki page ? I don't know how. Doing some research before the ULL game to verify that Mike Roberts, ULL pitching coach, was MW's pitching coach for a brief time at Oregon. MW's bio states he is an OU alum, played catcher at OU and Central Az. His correct bio is link 2. Looks like a disgruntled OU or Oregon fan distorted the facts.
February 21, 20205 yr Dumbest base running I’ve ever seen ends the ndsu vs Weber state game. ndsu is down 5 in the 7th with 2 on and 2 out. Single scores one, second runner gets caught too far off third and ends the game trying to get back.

Not as dumb as the Weber 1st baseman dropping a perfectly thrown ball that should have been the 3rd out, it extended the inning to the point you described.

February 22, 20205 yr Author Our nonconf SOS taking a hit BC Tennessee is dog shit. But Ole Miss picks up a nice win over #14 Ok State OU needed to walk it off 2-1 versus Aggy. Not quite the potent OU offense we’ve been scared of
