Really thought Foster deserved 1st Team. She had a perfect fielding percentage, hit .424 at the plate.

Let me guess...
f$u had about 6 first teamers?

uva - the taint of the ACC
Callused perineum is a symptom of being a uva fan

Only three, tied with Louisville and Stanford. Duke had 2, Hokies 2, UNC 1, UVA 1.

2nd team Hokies 5, FSU 3, Duke, Stanford, GT, Notre Dame, UNC, and NC State each had 1.

3rd team Duke 4, FSU 2, Louisville 2, Clemson 2, UVA 2, Cal, Notre Dame and Stanford with 1.

Pitt is shutting down uva. Pitt scares me. Mostly because of what they did last season

Didn't they change names? Or is that not in effect yet?

I do art stuff.

It is supposed to take effect this summer. Batten University. If you give enough money, you get the entire university named after you.

This fucking Duke-NC game is taking forever. Hokies are gonna be playing pretty late. BTW its on the regular ACCN.

Duke finally ended it in the sixth by run rule. TV says about 30 mins till the hokies play.

Saying 8:30 first pitch.

What a play by 1B. Pretty impressive. Just as impressive as the pitcher's recovery in the 1st.

BOOYAH!!!!!

Foster with the little league HR!!!

I seldom speak to loluva grads, but when I do, I tell them I want large fries.

Why is this tournament in Charlottesville? Went to look up the weather cuz everybody in the stands is wearing coats like it is about to snow.

rotate through ACC schools. loluva's turn. was at boston college last year.

I don't follow or watch softball. Putting in a pitcher who just pitched the night before, is that a good idea? So far, doesn't seem so.

Happens all the time. Very different than baseball in that regard. Hokies did it alot with Carrico this year.

Throwing underhand I'm guessing has a lot to do with it?

Thats what they say but hard to believe with how much they snap the arm and use so many wrist twists.

Well shit. As soon as I turn it on we walk the bases loaded.

She slammed the door! Woooo!

Help! We set the dvr to record the game, also added two acc access shows at the end just in case. Well, I guess you can guess what happened. Our recording time ran out with one out and the bases loaded with 'hoos. I know we won and Mazz must've handled them, but that was a bummer since we'd avoided knowing the outcome. Oh well, if you live, you learn? So, how'd she get out of that mess?

EDIT: Wife found a write up and we got the skinny. Lesson hopefully learned.

Reel men fish on Wednesdays

Walked in a run but then struck out two batters. Strike three wiff by the hoos to end it. I was confident then nervous then ecstatic Great game.

Phew!

Guns of Mazzarone!!!

FAM!!!

Embarrassing stadium for this tournament. So many people sitting on grass or standing room only.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Talk 'bout being in a pickle inside the pressure cooker.

3 strikes to escape the inning bases loaded.

I am so thankful that we can see these games... and I ain't sayin' I could do any better... but these announcers.....

I seldom speak to loluva grads, but when I do, I tell them I want large fries.

Short at bat. 3 pop flys. Not great bob.

Castine... BOOM!!!

I seldom speak to loluva grads, but when I do, I tell them I want large fries.

Carrico out of the circle something wrong with her hand or finger. Mazzarone looks to be coming in.

Great line by Carrico... 5.2 innings pitched, 0 runs, 3 hits, 2 BB, 4 SO
Way to go Bree!!!

Aldridge... 2-run HR!!!

5-0 VT top of the 7th

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Duke only has 3 hits.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

HOKIES WIN! HOKIES WIN!!

I seldom speak to loluva grads, but when I do, I tell them I want large fries.

Who will pitch tomorrow?

I think Mazz will start. With Layton, Carrico (depending on her finger), and Kleiman if needed.

I seldom speak to loluva grads, but when I do, I tell them I want large fries.

GUNS OF MAZZARONE FAM!!!!

Just please no Force 10.

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

With that limited amount of pitching Mazzie Star could pitch again.

Though, wouldn't expect her to start.

She's starting if Bree isn't going. Those are the only two starters

Tomorrow 230pm against FSU on ESPN

We will beat FSU!

SCHokie

So looking at RPI. It hasnt updated yet today so they are at 19.

Hokies have the most road wins in the country with 21.

They are 2nd for the most neutral site wins in the country at 16 and could tie UCLA for most if the Hokies win and UCLA loses tomorrow.

They also had the second fewest home games of any team in the Top 20 behind Nebraska.

A win tomorrow would mean they were the only team between 10-20 in RPI to go undefeated this week as long as Arizona St holds on to beat Oklahoma State (6-1) in the 4th.

They would be 3-0 with wins over current RPI 10, 12 and 26 and finish the season 47-9.

That would give them the 4th/5th most wins on the season behind #2 Alabama, #4 Florida, #6 Oklahoma and tied with FSU for 4th and possibly UCLA (If UCLA beats Nebraska for Big 10, they would be 4th and Hokies/FSU 5th.)

uva - the taint of the ACC

It just means more.

Win. Just win.

Hokies are now up to 17th in RPI behind Stanford. FSU is 10th in RPI and Duke 11th. UVA is still 26th. Win and they host a Regional.

in Big12 championship news, Arizona St. is about to give Texas Tech a big black eye before the NCAA tournament, up 4-0 right now in the bottom of the 7th.

and its over - Arizona St. wins their first Big 12 tournament, 4-0.

Ok boys and girls- time for a beat down of F$U!

LETS FUCKING GO!

ESPN.

Doesn't matter if it's cake or pie as long as it's chocolate.

Ladies up 1-0 after one. Mazzone with a strikeout to end the inning with runners on 2nd and 3rd.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Fuck. Fsu up 2-0 with no outs in the 2nd. Third passed ball on our catcher allows the second run. Mazzarone struggling with command.
.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Fsu isnt swinging on all those balls right off the corner either like UVA was.

I meant 2-1

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Still 2-1 mid third. Mazzone with 4 k's through 2 but command has been an issue. Let's see of she dials it in here.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Nevermind. Mazzone pulled. Layton in.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Layton 1-2-3 third.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Still 2-1 fsu after 4. Layton throwing pretty well. Need some damn hits for the good guys!

LETS GO!

HOKIES!

Wish blue would give us the outside corner that he is giving FSU

Mind boggling change of pitchers for FSU when Francic was absolutely dealing. Let's hope this backfires.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Well theyre putting Francic back in right now.

Still 2-1 after 5. Gotta jump on fsu's new pitcher here. Time running out.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

What the fuck? Fsu now bringing Francick back in with 2 outs and hokis on 1st and 3rd?

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

DAAMN Aldridge misses a homerun by a couple feet foul.

Aldridge walks. Bases loaded with 2 outs. Need a hit here.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Damn. Castine hits soft liner to shortstop. Needed to get one there.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

123 6th for Layton. Need to make it happen now. Got my old schoPete. Rally hat on to match coach pete.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Damn. Just couldnt get it done today.

Welp. Ladies lose 2-1. Absolutely disgusting to listen to the announcers slobber over fsu all day. In the 5th inning they actually said 'The hokies with just 4 hits today......' . Meanwhile fsu had 3 hits, and that's the way the game ended. Pathetic.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Disgusting is the word for it. It was as if we were irrelevant.

Reel men fish on Wednesdays

so does that ruin our chances of hosting in the first round?

Very likely. We had moved to 17th in RPI. Loss probably drops us to 18/19
