Let's hope they look over our team as a cupcake.

With good pitching and timely hitting, we can beat them.

I picked up some more information on our 2020 schedule . We could have the toughest schedule, of any non SEC school in the country. It's a strong one. I'll post more on this later.

First 14 games are brutal. Talk about running the gauntlet, 0-14?! Hopefully, we have a Chase Cassidy and Julia DiMartino on our staff this year to be competitive.

It is a tough schedule. Almost looks like a college world series lineup of teams. No cupcakes there.
Over course of season we play 21 games vs teams from Power 5 conferences:
7 SEC
7 ACC
3 Big 10
2 PAC 12
2 Big 12

I think the 2020 team will have better hitting, defense and more depth, than last year's team. If one of the pitchers becomes ace of staff, we'll be good, and should win ASUN championship.

That's a big

As I was reading about Moses in the book of Exodus this morning, I was reminded that in 40 days and 40 nights, the 2020 softball season will arrive.

You know he took a wrong turn for 40 years and never entered the promised land, right?

LU softball isn't 40 years from the promised land.

We may not be 40 years from the promised land, but we could sure use someone to tap a rock and produce a "shut down" pitcher.

But didn’t he get into trouble for tapping it a little too hard/too many times?

Google tells me that they have 5 Burger Kings and your favorite hotel. What more do you need to know?

I use to live in that area, what would you like to know @ballcoach15 ?
The Church of Scientology has their HQ there if you're interested in joining a cult. Clearwater Beach is nice. Its your typical Florida beach town.

I want to know what traffic is like getting across the long bridge from Tampa to Clearwater ? I believe it's Route 60.

Ballcoach always wants to know about safe place to ride his bike, esp. if they are near water.
