Because rednecks like yourself only follow football.

Because it’s a sport that Alabama fields.

Not that Beth is any better, but I’m happy his program has gone down hill. I remember him giving lsu a smack in the face. Accepted the lsu position then backed out.

So it seems both programs lost in the drama of 13 years ago? Alabama did get a national title out of it a year later. But it’s been a slow, death by a thousand cuts ever since?

Because it is arguably tied for the third best college sport to watch.

Is that the coach that wears the leather creeper hat? Looks like he won it at the state fair

I agree with this. Ever since he took over the LSU position briefly and then got pulled back to Bama, we’ve been overall weak. We’ve had great pitching staff with sub par or below average hitting. I won’t compare them to the steroid Oklahoma men’s softball, but when I watch them against other teams, they seems small and slow. Too many lefty slap hits. I think he needs to go. 13 years a is a long time since he won the big one, and now we have a losing record in our own conference.

Odd.

I have no idea who UGA's softball coach is.

I couldn't tell you if they're doing a good job or not.

The fact that you know your coach's name and are upset the program has fallen off tells me that they are a good enough coach to actually get you to know who they are and that things used to be better.

I'm guessing UGA has never had a coach good enough for that in softball.

Correlation doesn't..... Yeah you know the rest.

Bama has had success after that debacle. Winning a title, runner up and numerous WCWS since then. LSU had nothing to do with where we are now.

It's his philosophy that is hurting Bama. It's one of those games is passing you by type of things. He built Bama off speed, pinch hitting, bunting, small ball etc around his aces. That just doesn't work anymore.
Especially when 1 swing against an SEC or top national team will put you down 0-3 in the 5th inning. You not coming back from that when the other team is swinging for the fences outside of situational plays.
