@mickeydail I think it’s great the college athletes get paid for their talent, but to watch 1 or 2 super teams form it’s not fun to watch week after week. It’s predictable who will likely win every year.
@BradyVernon I get that they have their format on placing teams within each bracket and sometimes decisions are very subjective. Do you think they throw Arizona State a bone and give them the 16 spot to host? Taking down Arizona, Ok St, Texas Tech in the conference tourney has to mean a lot
@BradyVernon That it was! I like when underdogs win, however I was really wanting this to be Trisha Fords year to win it all. I hope Liberty gets to host next week!
@Trisha_Ford I was a huge fan of you at ASU and now I’m a fan of you at A&M. I love seeing the growth of players that you coach. So happy that @Jazmine_h77 rejoined with you for her final year. Congrats on a great season 🥎
@JoeBear72 I always had that thought that the older the kids get the more free time I’d have…I was completely wrong! Or maybe I’m just that kind of mom that wants to be involved in my kids life a lot (even if they are 20+).No matter how busy I am, I still get my share of streaming softball
It’s been awhile…..life update 2023/2024
Trevor finished his senior athletic career with football
Mike and I hiked the Narrows at Zion
Shauna was accepted into Duke Graduate School
@JoeBear72 It’s been a very crazy year! Very busy with job change and traveling for kids stuff. Thankfully I’ll get a little break the end of March when I fly to AZ for a week.
@JoeBear72 My mom asks me every time I talk her about gas prices in MN because she said that it’s high in Phx area…..I filled up this morning for $3.22 per gallon
@JoeBear72@BradyVernon I’m actually shocked with this one, I thought out of everyone that she’d follow Ford. At this point I don’t think Ford is getting any of her former players.
@JoeBear72@BradyVernon I think at this point if there’s any hope of saving the remaining players is to keep Jimmy on staff and see if Carly Wynn would take on the rebuild. That might keep your entire outfield from jumping ship.
@holsvek@justfactsmaam Players can pull back their transfer so they may do this to feel out other options/see what other programs are interested in them.
@JoeBear72 We’ve been to a wide variety of sports at ASU and shockingly we never made it to a baseball game…..mainly because I planned my trips around the softball schedule 😂
@JoeBear72 The one thing that actually can help save ASU is that the transfer portal is filled with players and it’s early. They really need to jump on hiring a coach so recruiting can start & pull in players from the portal before the quality players are gone.
@JoeBear72@BradyVernon I started following ASU softball the 1st yr Ford took over. I will definitely be following her Texas A&M team now. I will still take in ASU games when I’m in AZ but I doubt that it will look the same anytime soon. I wish all the players well and hope they find the best fit.
