Softball Hosting a Regional?

[franslasttwinkie]

Trauth and Teis aren’t around anymore like they were in their easy chairs for 2022’s baseball run when we were within striking distance to host a regional.

Bids were due last weekend to host a softball regional. Any idea if Kelly Damphousse and Don Coryell got together to put together a bid proposal and submit it? Any way to find out if they actually did @JustinS09 @Josh @Bobcats2011?

They are likely a longshot at this point. Needed to win the UL series and not drop a couple of the game 3s.

RPI not getting additional help this year with the last two series against terrible teams.

Last year UL finished 12th in RPI and wasn't selected to host and they have some of the best attendance in the country.

TXST is currently at 19 and UL at 14. No way they let two SBC host.

I hope they submitted the bid package but highly unlikely they get picked.

Sitting at 16 through yesterday’s games, but yeah. There’s no question whatsoever it’s a long shot both right now and after we play in 6 really unfortunate games.

However, in the event of a landslide of help with several top 25 teams potentially collapsing the next 2 weeks anything is possible to finish in the top 16 if we win the tournament.

The main thing was having the competence to get the bid submitted. Every top 25 team should at least submit one. I’m sure their are some P5 egos that submit bids outside of top 25 RPIs in case things swing drastically and “just because”.

Can confirm. We submitted a bid.
