re: WCWS - Florida wins Game Three 4-1 | Florida wins back-to-back softball titles

That goes to Alleva. Looking at her record at FIU, it's crazy to think she's had the success she has had and crazier to think that Alleva even gave her the job.

It all goes to recruiting. When you allow your players to have fun and play loose, you're going to attract top talent. It helps that the popularity of softball seems to be at an all time high in this region. Torina was also smart adding Dobson to her staff. He was with OU and had the World Series experience.

It sucks for Alabama in many ways. Florida has been the only other team that we've been competing with from the SEC. We'd get knocked out by LSU, but never in OKC. The double edged sword of a being in a softball conference. I won't complain, though. I'd rather see an SEC team win it over Michigan. It's better for the conference in what has been a rough year.
