  1. Sounds like the Tech matchup was initiated by the Express perhaps as a PR move in addition to the Spring tournament they host. Per his bio, Express President Chirs Almendarez played baseball at UH thus his affinity for the college game.
  2. Son of a former player (Rick), Maverick McIvor, outstanding debut at Western Kentucky. "Apple doesn't fall far from the tree" If you need a refresher on Rick, review a summary of the '83 season, specifically the aggy game. However, don't relive the Georgia Cotton Bowl game.

    Checking for off season news while trying to relieve anxiety for Ohio St. After 1 year at UH, Clay Van Hook was hired by Pierce as the Associate Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator. Good move for Clay and he was at Rice under Graham for 4 or 5 years. Woody Williams has returned to San Jac after 1 year at UH. Whiting hired a couple of unknown assistants to replace Woody and Clay. The new Pac12 will be: Oregon St, Wash St, Colo St, Fresno St, San Diego St, Texas St, Dallas Baptist, Utah St, Gonzaga (no football). And remember when Clay had to catch at the B12 Tournament due to injuries. Oversized equipment was not good.
  4. Not that familiar, team roster below. If you have time, send us some photos like you did for baseball. For the record, LB beat Hawaii 2-1 and lost an exhibition game to USC 2-0. https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/womens-soccer/roster
  5. Early day tomorrow due to Mets/Mariners coming to the games and interact with players. Recommend viewing to see the great interaction. 2d year in a row for Juan Soto, there last year with the Yankees. Kids love him. Here's what's coming up on Sunday: Northwest vs. New England at 9 a.m. ET Canada vs. Australia at 11 a.m. ET West vs. Great Lakes/Mid-Atlantic Winner at 1 p.m. ET Panama vs. Game 15 Winner at 2 p.m. ET The evening will close out with the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets playing in the MLB Little League Classic at 7:10 p.m. ET.
  6. They've already lost, mentally, it seems. Echo your thoughts. In the 1st, thought the coach should have made a visit after the error to settle them down and boost confidence.
  7. CT 5-1 over Hawaii in a key game on the road to the Championship. Props to CT coaches for having team expand Hawaii pitcher pitch count especially early. Don't have to swing at every pitch even if it is a strike. CT pitcher today not quite as good as the pitcher who beat Lamar, but he is close. Lamar vs MA, 2PM, Sat
  8. If interested, SECN will present a season preview tonight at 6PM. Probably not as informative as what our own @Js1 provides.
  9. He was retained after the 2016 incident which was found not have violated Title IX. A new AD was hired later in 2016 and fired him in 2018, 2 weeks before the season started. Maybe another incident or personality conflict. But 2 weeks before season is an alarm. True CDC approved, but "We'll see, says the Zen Master". He was very successful at Mizzou. Ole Miss hit .302 last year up from .268 in '24. https://www.kshb.com/sports/college-sports/mu/veteran-missouri-softball-coach-fired
  10. mmm, don't know. Baggage there @FloridaHorn may have details. Alleged verbal abuse of players at Mizzou and abrasive leadership style. He was only at Ole Miss for 1 year, prior to that AD for the Jefferson City, Mo school system. Seems he would have been offered asst position earlier, perhaps he was and declined. Personal opinion, best to have an up-and-comer like Singleton. Would be interesting to know other candidates. https://www.flosoftball.com/articles/6093152-missouri-fires-softball-head-coach-ehren-earlywine
  11. Have to defer to @Huckleberry who also deserves credit for starting this thread. I don't understand either.

  13. 1-0 CT. Difficult to find better pitching by both teams. Hope Lamar does not let 1 loss become 2. 2 days to recover. Conn vs Hawaii, Friday, 6PM Lamar vs MA/SCar, Sat, 2PM . (if I am reading the bracket right)
  14. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2025/llbws/tournaments/world-series/ Opening day. Complete info above. All games on ESPN. Puerto Rico vs Latin America, 12PM Nevada vs Illinois, 2PM Panama vs Australia, 4PM Richmond, Tx (Lamar) vs Conn, 6PM
  15. Thanks for mentioning. Time stamped for 6th inn. 1 out from Williamsport, 4-1 lead, close pitch for walk, intentional walk with bases loaded for run, 2-2 count, 2 outs, double off the wall scores 3. As often said, cruel game.
  16. New ESPN streaming service launches 21 Aug. Available on the app, don't see how to subscribe or if it will be an option to add to a streaming platform like Roku. Read in another article DirectTV will offer free in their basic package. Also, good to see SECN+ is included. Excerpts. Recommend reading the article. https://www.howtogeek.com/espn-new-live-sports-streaming-service-release-date-price/
  17. The well travelled Jimmy Kolaitis (Mike's hitting coach at Oregon) left Ariz St and is now the AD/Head Coach at a small community college in his home state of Alabama. When Mike left for Texas, he got the head coach at UAB job. I think he is under the age of 50 so no idea if he wants to retire in Alabama or get back in the grind of D1 softball. And not sure of the relationship with Mike and there may be some baggage there due to his many moves that @FloridaHorn may know. A positive seems to be his West Coast connections. Fall workouts will likely begin in Sep. First Fall game was the first week of October last year, so good to have someone in place then.
  18. Big, big loss though we knew it was inevitable. Singleton was noted for his recruiting prowess as well as hitting coach ability. Tireless worker at both, very difficult to replace. Will be a bonus if the replacement is familiar with the softball recruiting landscape to include NIL and transfers in the new era of college athletics.
  19. Be nice if he also has the arm to backup SS. 3 errors in 107 chances, .972.
  20. Austin Volts lost to the Chicago Bandits 8-7 at Dell Diamond, but 5K in attendance has to be a success .
  21. Freeman will be 23 in November, very likely a key factor in his decision. Larson (above) seems to be an upgrade.
  22. Austin Volts (Mia) vs Chicago Bandits (Bella, Iakopo) tonight, ESPN2, 6PM. Bandits are in 1st (9-3), Volts in 3rd (4-8) Cat is GM of the Volts. https://theausl.com/volts/roster?season=2025-ausl https://theausl.com/bandits/roster?season=2025-ausl https://theausl.com/standings
  23. True 'dat. He was selected to play in the MLB Draft League in WVa and is having a good Summer. Interesting to see his draft position. (2.37 ERA, 16Ks/2BB/19 IP) https://www.mlbdraftleague.com/player/sam-cozart-828217
  24. For unknown reason, Anderson was not on roster for 2025. Listed as a utility player. Hometown Dripping Springs
