not sure why at that time of the day unless it has something to do with Texas travel schedule

LSU is on spring break, not sure about Texas

even the afternoon would be better if night is not an option

Texas travel schedule. They have to go to BYU for the weekend.

Pretty good way for Texas to avoid a huge home crowd advantage for LSU. How does LSU cower to them and say, "sure, we'll play you at 11:00 in front of a small crowd."

That's on Texas to work their travel schedule.

Actually BYU comes to Austin for the weekend, but point still stands. And since BYU only observes 6 days out of a week, the series is Th-F-Sat

Texas was in Houston over the weekend. They wanted to play at LSU, but wanted to play early in the day Tuesday so they could bus back home and not get back at a ridiculous hour, and LSU agreed to it.

Sounds cool to me. LSU easily could have said "no thanks" and scheduled Nicholls or somebody else. So if all parties are good, let's do it.

Sounds like there will be a big crowd. Very few GA tickets remain. I think they are doing a "field trip" type of deal like basketball does.

That's correct as I also posted the elementary school stuff on another thread. Us season ticket holders were told that we all have to sit in only 102 and 103 as general admission.

Between stuff like this and the constant whining about referee/ump bias, my God, you guys can be insufferable sometimes.

Just enjoy a game between #3 LSU and (probably won't be in the next rankings) #1 Texas.

I agree. I net the girls have no problem with an 11 o clock game. They grow up playing many 8 o clock games.

Any time anywhere!

You’re right though. Travel ball tourneys start early and run til they’re done. These girls can play at any time.

does this game have anything to to with 2 games being cancelled in the Clearwater tournament or was this game already on the schedule?

They’re no longer ranked #1. It’ll be #2 LSU vs #4 Texas. Tough tough game, pitching will need to be on point.

I think Texas is the better team especially with Coffey out..if Berzon pitches let’s see if she is who some says she is…

I was going to go until I heard there would be a lot of screaming kids there.
