Let's get this started! Ranked in the top 25 entering this tournament. Four games against P-5 schools. 2021 records shown.
1. Iowa (26-18)
2. Kentucky (43-16)
3. Northwestern (30-17)
4. Missouri (42-17)
Bases on 2021 it looks like the Wildcats and Tigers will be the toughest games. We need to get out of the gate fast and go 3-1 or better in the opening tourney of the year.

Cider, don't waste time posting on softball board, most Sea of Red members are not smart enough for softball discussion.

That comment right there is why most folks ignore you for the most part.

His comment was expressly to elicit yours. But you’re not wrong.
I’m not sure how “smart” one has to be to discuss softball. But I know how dumb it is to expect critical thinking on ASOR.

LU lost the second game of yesterday's double header to Kentucky. It was a low-scoring game, and LU was shutout.

Is it going to be more of the same old, same old this year? Not enough scoring. Seems like we can't quite get over the hump. Pitching doesn't appear as dominant since DiMartino left, either. Hopefully, we'll get better as the year progresses.

Internet has not been available for several days do I'm sitting in Bean Tree Cafe in Cornerstone. I'm afraid with 1 run scored in the first two games that, as previously posted, we are going to struggle offensively against better pitching. I hope we can win the next 2 and start to build some confidence in the early going.

I know there’s at least 1 former college softball coach on this board.

Three games and three loses: today to Northwestern, 8-2. I hope Ballcoach isn't a jinx.

Still seems as though we are just a bit outclassed in these big events. We arent getting run ruled but its not 1 run losses either.

Throw me a softball question. I am sure to get it right.
