    I liked Scarborough but that A&M series is the worst I've ever heard her.

    It's got to be really hard to stay impartial when you're the "expert" analyst when your former team is playing. Almost impossible to stay impartial no matter how hard you try. Amanda is very good overall.

    Even if they don't win another game this year, this season has been fantastic. I'm at a loss for words to describe how good this run of eleven games against quality teams has been. Put on your sunglasses for this team has an incredibly bright future.

    Has anyone taken note that out of the last 16 teams in the field of which the Gators are one of them; the Gators Have played eight. They are UCLA, UGA, OSU, Mizzou, Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU and FSU. The Gators are 15-7 against this field. Only OSU has a winning record, 1-0. I think the team did pretty good against this competition. I like our chances. Now let’s go beat Baylor.

    Hmm, Mizzou took the first two games at Mizzou and we took the last game so 1-2. It was the only SEC series UF lost. Think you should double check your numbers.

    Dang straight! She was conflicted for aTm the whole broadcast.

    What I found disgusting was Scarborough's take on Mia's dropped infield fly rule that resulted in a double play against aTm. She prattled on about a bright sun and a high sky as if that had anything to do with the result that the SEC confirmed.

    To top it off, Mia did the same thing in our first SEC tourney game moving the ball from glove to hand. The SEC ruled again that a double play resulted. Scarborough on the call said nothing even though this was the same occurrence as the Sunday afternoon aTm game.

    What's funny, I can't recall seeing this happen in play before. It happened in back-to-back games. Go figure. (shaking head)

    We beat Mizzou in the SEC tournament so the Gators are 2-2 vs Mizzou. The Gators beat Mizzou in the last two games that we played them.

    apk got to me first. :)

    That .682 winning percentage against the top 16 looks good. I wonder how the other top 16 teams did, just not enough to do the digging. ;)

    The 2024 portal has opened. 481 players have already declared. I haven’t studied it yet, so I don’t know who has entered. None of our girls have. Murphy and Gasso have already put it out that they’re looking. Any further posts that show up, I will post in the portal board. Teams can start accepting players on June 3rd. I got some of my information from D1 Softball and some from Reddit.
