    Worst SBW ever?

    Baseball: Swept
    Softball: Swept (now on 5 game losing streak)
    #8 Women's Golf team: 12th of 14 teams in SEC Championships, 46 strokes behind leader
    Men's Golf: 14th of 14 teams in SEC Championships, 58 strokes behind leader (and 24 strokes behind 13th place)
    #20 Men's Tennis: Lost 4-0 to Texas A&M at SEC Championships
    Women's Tennis: Lost 4-0 to Georgia at SEC Championships

    Spring Postseason Odds:
    Women's Golf is probably still a lock.
    Softball has work to do.
    Men's Tennis is in, but will travel
    women's Tennis is on the bubble at best
    Baseball will have to win SEC Tournament

    Man, what in the world happened to the Women's golf team. Don't keep up with them much but do know that they had a short stretch of being #1 in the country. And now they are finishing 12th in the SEC?

    Yep, given we still have LSU and road series @Ark and @OM I would say the chances of us making even the SEC tournament are quite small.

    Not only were the sporting outcomes not ideal, but the weather also killed most of the social activities that we had planned...

    Just a bad weekend. Going into the tournament we were ranked #2 in the country. Just chalk this weekend to a bad weekend.

    They'll make a regional. Golfstat still has them in the Top 10. Wouldn't be surprised if they are shipped out West this year though.

    I could see them as the #3/#4 seed in St. George or San Antonio.

    South Bend and Raleigh are the other hosts. They would be a #4 seed at best there. Seeds don't really matter all that much in golf regionals, but the field with the #1 seed is usually easier - and South Carolina will be the #1 seed in Raleigh. LSU has a shot at the top seed in South Bend. USCw will be the top seed in St. George I imagine.

    Raleigh top 4 seeds: South Carolina, Duke, Arkansas, Virginia
    South Bend top 4 seeds: LSU, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, Northwestern
    San Antonio top 4 seeds: UCLA, Texas A&M, Arizona, Tennessee
    St. George top 4 seeds: Southern California, Washington, Mississippi State, Stanford

    This is the first year of a combined stroke play/match play format. If you can finish in the top 8 of a three round stroke play (we were 5th at NCAA Championships last year), then you make an Elite 8 and you play match play (Ryder Cup style) until you have a champion. Will have to make the top 6 at regionals to move to nationals. Last year, it was top eight.

    I think Women's Tennis gets in. In the past, teams at their ranking have gotten in, and they may be ranked higher by selection time, since they beat #28 South Carolina. Also, they beat #13 Bama earlier in the season, and several of their losses have been very close. I just don't see them getting left out.

    Overall, not a great spring, other than basketball news. But there are good young players on all these teams, so no reason to think we won't be better in the future.

    Softball has three games against USCe, and three nonconf games, Memphis Wednesday night and two on the road against Ga. Southern. A loss to either will be considered a bad loss. I would feel a lot better if we swept SC, and nervous if we lose that series.

    We are a lock for the SEC tournament but still can end up the last team in mathematically.

    I read somewhere that the attendance numbers at the spring game were 13,000. That's sad. I know baseball is in the gutter, but that's no reason not to come and watch the last hurrah before Fall. We just came off of a historic season where we became the first team since the eighties to beat three top ten teams in a row. We have easily the best QB in the conference (and it aint even close), and a He15man candidate coming back, not to mention the best WR corp we've ever had for him to chunk it to. I know we lost the last couple of games, but that shouldn't have effected the perception of the program that much. Don't tell me we are this spoiled as a fanbase already.

    There had to have been more at the game than 13,000. I would have guessed at least 20,000. And I figured the weather forecast kept a ton of people away.

    To be frank, this weekend's forecast was difficult because when I put out my forecast, everything was trending towards the game being wet. But as we went to the weekend, conditions changed and slowed everything down.

    Oh no doubt, you can't really blame the forecasters being wrong as much as I just meant probably a lot of people made the decision not to come on Friday based on what everyone thought the weather was going to do at the time.

    Very true...I hate that I missed the forecast. Gonna look over everything and see what I missed, regardless.

    The number I found must have been bogus then. That site had LSU at 15,000 I think. And I know that aint right. Win lose or draw, dem cajuns love em some Bayou Bengals. lol
