D'armoir was with Earlywine at Mizzou when thempost season restrictions were levied against their softball program for the tutor scandal...

Missouri softball placed on post-season bans while Early wine and D'Armour where there coaching... which is why Pete left... the grade and tutor scandal.....

And the Tigers have get a NO HITTER!!!

9 outs so far for AU batters and 5 were K's.... we cannot hit worth a sh..! 12th in the SEC!

We just got a lot better at the end of the season!!

We just got better both on the field and in recruiting!

Maybe we can get Bruce Pearl to coach softball too?

We are going to struggle bad in conference play! I hope I am wrong....

Just a thought that just maybe CMD offered the sister to keep Penta there....

Arkansas is actually in Fayetteville

Maybe it would be smart for the AD to reach out to former players that played for CMD to get their perspective.... just a thought....

Well Auburn is getting some national publicity now... Outgoing Auburn softball player rips program in deleted posts: 'When you fail, you are immediately benched' | Fox News https://www.foxnews.com/sports/outgoing-auburn-softball-player-rips-program-deleted-posts-when-you-fail-immediately-benched

Maybe they were "Deaned" unnecessary.... 😆

Just saw where LSU's Alea Johnson transferred to that school west of Birmingham.... really thought we might get her since her father played football at Auburn... would have been a good addition to the pitching staff and apparently has 3 years left...

Thanks for that information and there is a huge difference between Myers and Crocodile Dundee....

Hitters won't stay for this...

Pitching, Fielding, Hitting! Look at were our hitting landed us in the SEC..

Phillip Marshall article says Ellis, Blaine, and Garcia have entered the portal as of 14 hours ago.... and I would suspect more will hit this week as well...

I truly believe the weak nonconference schedule really hurt us this year!!

Are you sure because everything I have seen has us the #3... https://www.sportingnews.com/us/other-sports/news/ncaa-softball-bracket-2023-selections-live/pnzqk9plveepoaetudfwkjcm

And someone got smart at the end of the season because the game against Alabama State that was canceled due to "everything to lose - nothing to gain" quite possibly could have cost us to miss the whole show...

So each committee determines more on what they see as more influential in their own ranking system according to the ESPN article and interview. Everyone was shocked about that team from West Alabama.. this was taken from the article.... "Six top-10 wins and strength of schedule were the key components to the seeding according to the chair of the committee. However, that's not how the previous committees had determined where teams should be in the bracket, relaying a lot more on RPI (Rating Percentage Index). Alabama's RPI was 12th after the SEC Tournament. Consequently, the expectation was Florida State would be No. 5, with Alabama having to visit Tallahassee to have a shot at the Women's College World Series. " So there is a LOT more that plays into the so called seeding and it all falls back on what the committee sees as important. AND the strength of schedule (RPI) always plays a part and most of the time it is the most important. So my point is you need to have a strong RPI, with wins vs who, how you are playing at the end, that is what has traditionally been factors. They had to tweak their process this year.... And while we had a much better season this year the ball just bounced our way in several very close series wins.. we are still 103 in team BA in the overall rankings. And we played better than expected. Kudos to our team. Make it out of Clemson Regional and it is Oklahoma! Play the best right out the gate.

Sure looks like the Top teams in RPI are all hosting..... https://www.sportingnews.com/us/other-sports/news/ncaa-softball-bracket-2023-selections-live/pnzqk9plveepoaetudfwkjcm

According to the RPI we are NOT in the TOP 20.

Look at their Nonconference schedule... and they stayed in the SEC tourney longer than we did..
