LET'S GO...
Hokies!!!
The espn/usa softball poll doesn't come out until Tuesday. I'm sure it'll be filled with $ec bias
Not like anyone has been carrying home baseball games all season anyway.
Hokies are 11th in ESPN/USA poll. Moved up from 12th. Not surprising as only two Top 10 teams had a single loss each. #4 Nebraska lost to #16 Oklahoma St 2-1 and #9 UCLA beat #6 Florida. Hokies did move past UGA though.
Took the voters long enough to get that right
It's being livestreamed. But you have to pay for it
Muscovision
Subscriptions...
7-day: $19.99
3-day: $14.99
1-day: $6.99.
So I can watch on ESPN+ some NAIA team play but not a bunch of P4 and others play a softball tournament?
It was the same as last year's Hokie invite. I think whit and the lazy ass AD department should send some cameras and at least televise our games. But we know that will never happen
Is it sad that, if desired, my family can watch my daughter's JV softball games and my son's soccer games on a TV or any internet device, but I can't watch a nationally ranked D1 softball team play?
I agree with you. The only consolation i can offer is that the games are going to be free via Radio on the hokies sports app

They are top 40 in RPI. And they are historically a pretty good softball program. So yes
They are 19-6. 2-1 at the Hokie Invite so far. They beat BC 7-1 yesterday and Bryant 7-1 today. They beat then #22 Arizona St as their only real notable win.
