frick it, I'll back you on this one Winner. Great post. I care about softball only because my girls watch it when it's on SEC network whoever is playing. So yeah, might as well be good at it since we don't have beach volleyball, gymnastics, or swimming like some other SEC schools.

We have one outstanding hitter and other than that, we need find some girls that can compete. It boggles my mind though that A&M is bad as they are because Texas is a hotbed of fastpitch. A&M is a young team though.

Needless to say, it's time to figure it out. Bring in somebody willing to fix the issue. I think if the program will start winning, State fans will notice. That's the only way we can get the girls to come to play. Fan support.

I agree just like women's basketball, people started noticing when we win. Just like a lot of schools in the SEC like Alabama or LSU have gotten into Gymnastics and Softball.

I'm surprised about Texas A&M too but California is the big softball State and for whatever reason the teams in the PAC 12 have been taken over by the SEC. We've really become a dominant softball league. But as I've said other teams have surpassed us which infuriates me because in year 8, we should be much further along.

I agree we need some new life. New perspectives. For instance this isn't the barometer but look at a program like Ole Miss. We were much better than them when Vann got here. During her tenure, they have surpassed us and have won the SEC Tournament and made a super Regional. Our program has only won 1 SEC Tournament Game under Vann and we've never made a Super Regional in our programs history


Mia Davidsons really good hitting but you have to have 1 maybe even 2 dominant pitchers in the SEC to win and MSU is missing that this year.

I'm looking at some candidates rn. I know in softball it's SEC/PAC 12 Assistant or other head coach. We could probably take a Big Ten or a few Big 12/ACC schools that don't value softball like we did with Lemonis for Baseball.

How do y'all feel about this guy? LINK
