Softball goes oh-for-the-weekend

[Dave_Glaser]

No Ken Erickson, no W. Tough competition, but they scored 7 runs in four games.

I swear it's truly hard to be a bulls fan or any tampa bay fan for that matter.  I thought the softball team was poised to be even better than last yr and now were 0-4.   It's very frustrating.

I've said it before, softball is a head-scratcher for me.  We have the coach of the US Olympic team and we've only had moderate success.

Worst opening weekend i can remember. i thought we would be 2 and 3 at least to start maybe even 3 and 2.

We may even start 0 and 9, Hope not.

Is the coach the only one involved in picking the players?  If not, that could explain it not mattering to the players. Otherwise you would think they'd like to impress him by being on his college team.

His record here is 976-502-1 (.660) overall and 285-135 (.679) in conference with 14 regional appearances (1 Super and 1 World Series).  That  seems like more than "moderate" success to me

There's a committee that evaluates players.  It isn't going to matter to prospective Olympians whether Eriksen coaches them in college or not.

I was thinking more along the lines of, "Wow, he coaches the US Olympic team.  He must be a great coach to play for" or something along those lines.
