slot canyon 1,333 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Fall ball completed. 2019 class will sign Nov. 14. After that next up will be release of the schedule for next season. Last year I believe it was released during the 2nd week of December. From looking at some other schedules and related articles it appears we do not play Alabama or Ole Miss. We have South Carolina at Auburn. There may be some set rotation for conference games. Sounds like something Whiskey may know about. Also play a mid-week game at Georgia State on March 17. Last year the season started Feb. 8, so not that far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Like you, I'm anxious to see who signs on Nov. 14. And yes, there is a set rotation. Ole Miss, LSU, Mizzou, and uat will drop off the schedule. We will pick up Florida, Georgia, and So. Car. at Auburn, and Miss. St. in Starkville. A&M will round out our home schedule, and we'll have Arkansas, Kentucky, and UT on the road. This is obviously a tougher schedule than we had this year.

slot canyon 1,333 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 From looking at the Washington schedule, we play them in the Judi Garman Classic on March 1, in Fullerton, California. Recall that Livy Schiele, transferred to Washington, after her freshman redshirt at AU. So I bet we get to see her after all but not in an Auburn uniform. I could not find the schedule matchups for that tournament but other participants include: Florida, Fresno State, Michigan, and Cal State Fullerton. As a side note, noticed Bama released their schedule. Their last 4 SEC series are Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and LSU. Noticed that LSU plays in Clearwater Elite Invitational Feb 14-16. Other participants are OK State, Oregon, Texas, Ohio State and Florida State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,576 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I don't like not playing UAT, but nobody asked me. I'd think some accommodation would be made for rivalries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, there is always the possibility in playing in the SEC tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCM had a standing offer to Murphy to play every year, even when they didn't have a series. He offered to play at neutral sites across the state to let the fans from all over the state take part in the rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When CCM was hired I believe I recall him making a statement to the effect that he wanted Coach Murphy to dread playing Auburn. Along the lines of what you stated they played a game in Montgomery 2014 which AU won 6-2. Bama returned the favor in the SEC tournament that year winning 4-8. At quick glance I believe our record during Myers tenure was 5 wins and 4 losses. In the 4 years prior to that we were 1 win and 9 losses. A neutral site game during non SEC scheduled series would be fun and maybe could have a mini-tournament to include the likes of UAB and Troy?

EagleEye67 1,939 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I have not been able to make it to the fall games...how are Swindle and Harris looking so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I didn't see any games, but one observer posted that Swindle looked improved, maybe a little faster. She seemed to be the #2 pitcher in the fall; then again, Coach could have a development reason for pitching the girls in a certain spot. Welcome to the board.

saminbama 740 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 That's a tough schedule. All the best teams from the SEC East and TAMU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Agree it's a tough schedule. I expect A&M to be down somewhat, though. They lost their #1 pitcher (Trinity Harrington) and that homer-hitting 1bman Tori Vidales to graduation, and 5 players have transferred out. There are some rumors as to why, that I won't post here. Players transferring out include Samantha Show, Keeli Milligan, and Sarah Hudek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saminbama 740 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Wow. I back off my assessment of TAMU. They lost the the heart and soul of that team. They may struggle quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slot canyon 1,333 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 My wife and I drove down to the Softball Preseason Banquet. I would estimate about 200 in attendance which included players and support staff. Team appears very fit. Seniors gave short talks. Jennie Finch was guest speaker. Coach Ketlehut gave some comments and I was favorably impressed with him. Said the girls are stronger and ahead of where they were last year.. He is now coaching infield. It was not clear to me if there is a designated hitting coach or if the staff has input. He indicated they had made some changes in the batting approach for some of the players. Veach mentioned that she was helping Nillan and Godwin and pleased with their progress. Recall it has been posted here that Tissier is out for the season. There are some photos and article from the event on the AU Athletics site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,901 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Slot, What can you tell me about Rachel Cook? I just looked at our roster and saw her name. It sounds vaguely familiar but I'm struggling to recall her background. Website lists her as a Junior but no stats or any info on her freshman and sophomore years. Did she transfer in or am I just losing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
