tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Had to make a thread for this one because I feel strongly about this. Courtney was obviously really upset after that. Came back to the dugout in tears and looked like she was saying "I'm sorry" to her teammates. Just want to reiterate what we all know to be true: There is absolutely NOTHING to be sorry about when you put on that orange and blue and fight with everything you've got! And that's exactly what she did. Courtney Shea took the nation's number 1 pitcher to a 3-2 count and fouled her off to stay alive I think 3 times before smoking a ground ball to second that the fielder just made a fantastic play on. What a great season, what a great run, and what a great competitor Courtney is. Those girls love Auburn and gave it their all tonight. Coming up short on the scoreboard doesn't mean coming up short as champions. War Eagle Court, and War Eagle Auburn Softball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUUSN 823 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Scott Van Pelt @courtneyshea93 looked like you said "I'm sorry" when it ended. After that at bat? That season? Nope. Nothing to apologize for. #WarEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,062 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Same goes for Emily who probably feels worse than Courtney. She had an amazing career & is the heart of the 2016 team. I hate it for here that her college career ended not on her best day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,064 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I fully agree. She fought parker off with such courage. I hate it she took it so bad on herself. I am sure these girls and coaches are showing her love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The Shea family is a great Auburn family. Grand Dad Shea is the owner of Morris-Shea bridge company and built the foundation for the new Jumbotron. The Shea family is multiple generation football players and now softball. Congrats to Courtney and the entire Shea family. They are also the lead sponsor for one of the best youth and travel softball organizations in Alabama. The Birmingham Bolts and owners of the amazing softball complex in Irondale, Shea Stadium. I'm sure their organization will be a pipeline to AU for years so come. I want to know one thing about Courtney. What is she saying or singing when she's batting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree with this comment. It was a wonderful season, a joy to watch. Who can honestly say, that even 3 years ago, you would have thought they would be playing in the Championship series this year. They are by far the most improved team in the country.

steeleagle 2,945 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 that's interesting about Shea and her family history and connection to AU. Thanks. It is also interesting the connection to one of the best travel softball organizations in Alabama, the Birmingham Bolts. Isn't that the team Corey Meyers coached when he and his dad was hired by AU? It would be interesting to know the story behind how JJ found out about interviewing Clint Meyers for the job? There had to be some contact from the Meyers family first, or maybe even information from the Shea family who had connections to the Bolts and Corey Meyers, I assume.

autigeremt 6,569 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I've told countless people over the course of the last two years that this program can make the rest of the programs better by leading through example. These young ladies are the perfect example of the Auburn spirit and why I chose to go to Auburn and not Clemson. There's something special around here and it bubbles up in moments like these.

Who can honestly say, that even 3 years ago, you would have thought they would be playing in the Championship series this year. They are by far the most improved team in the country. Forget playing in the Championship. Who would have thought 3 years ago that the Baseball/Softball forum should be renamed the "Softball forum (and baseball if you must)".

OlderWhiskey 953 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Here's hoping the baseball team improves enough that we need two separate forums. Agree with comments about Courtney. Didn't know all that stuff about the Shea family. I remember we recruited her dad in 1987, I think, when it was thought he was a lock for bama. "Flawless?" OK, whatever works. I could see myself doing "Whole Lotta Shakin". That is, if I were about 50 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warladytigers 172 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Couldn't agree more about Courtney's at bat and based on her twitter comment I think a large number of people tweeted her to tell her how proud they were of her.....I still feel bad for her. The Tigers had GREAT run this year...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There had to be some contact from the Meyers family first, or maybe even information from the Shea family who had connections to the Bolts and Corey Meyers, I assume. Steeleagle I had wondered the same. At the last fall softball game I sat with a family member of one of our players and asked if she knew or could say anything about just that situation. She politely avoided answering but suggested I Google Richard Shea and read the article that was in College and Magnolia titled "Auburn Eyeing ASU's Clint Myers for Softball". I believe it may some light on the situation. I also found it interesting that Courtney was originally committed to Missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ was handed c Coach Myers on silver platter. It wasn't hard to get him at Auburn at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
