A Sea Of Red

A nail biter but LU pulls it out on a sac fly by Alexia Taylor win 1-0. Another stellar outing from JD although she might o\have tired some at the end. Great regular season with 44 wins. On to the BSC tournament and then the NCAA's!

For all those who in pre season picked Longwood to win regular season championship, me and TF will schedule a softball clinic to "coach them up" on college softball.

Ball coach makes me not want to like softball.

Yet Longwood won the regular season series.

You talk all that smack when in fact they can’t beat them.

I am not aware that anyone here on this forum picked Longwood to win the regular season championship. In the pre-season voting for that, done by media people, they were picked first and Liberty second. For the record, we were also regular season champions last year and Longwood entered the tournament as the #3 seed. Our record against them in the last 2 years is 3-6.

As far as TF is concerned, isn't he the guy who predicted baseball would have a better record this year than softball?

All in due time ... I am happy to celebrate the accomplishment today. Congrats, Coach Dot & Squad!

I put as much stock in the predictions of ballcoach and his ‘Sources’ as I do Miss Cleo. The few times they are right they will shout so loud to hope you forget the majority of time they were wrong

Every time I sit near TF and ballcoach at an LU softball game, I feel like I'm attending a coaching clinic.

Imagine how you’d feel if you sat by people who actually coach!

I would put me and TF up against any 2 Coaches.

But that was a good one Purple.

Here’s my honest question, ballcoach:

You obviously know the sport. How come you don’t still coach? Just curious...

I'd rather "follow LU softball than coach", plus I not have the time to devote 100% to coaching, which is what's required.

Imagine those people who have to Teach AND Coach

Coaching is a 365 day per year job, if it's done right. and try coaching 3 or 4 sports per year at high school level.


But I am reminded of a new football coach going to new teacher orientation at central office:

He was asked, "what subject do you teach" ? He replied, "I'm the head football coach at _________"

Plus, ballcoach is, I think, 67 years old. So his coaching days are over.

TF likes to say that ballcoach was a volunteer coach at Gretna High School, and he was overpaid.

Chalk one up for TF. That's a good one.

You're not going to get on Cider for "an volunteer"?

Cider represented me well in a previous post so I paid him back by passing on that one. I’m a sentimental softy like that

There are plenty of other reasons you (and I) are soft.

I also had to go back and add an "n" to Gretna. In the true spirit of Purple, I think I was spelling like a WVU alum.

Ok. Now it’s back on!!

Taking the n out of Gretna is how the hottest young rock band in the world got their name.

They make pills for that. Maybe Purple peddles them.

No that was Evil Corp. and now those blue pills are generic!
