Was watching the Super Regionals in softball this weekend and have a new
favorite for the tournament. Louisiana Lafayette. The Ragin' Cajuns!
Boy, can they hit the ball. A power team. And with a "Rickey Vaughn" pitcher
on the mound......Black Glasses and all! Wild Thang! (And not bad lookin' either)
Now the differences.
We have a relatively new softball stadium with around 200 seats, give or take.
They have a stadium with 2790 seats that's mostly sold out.
We have a 3' ugly wooden fence in the outfield.
They also have a wooden fence. (First one I've seen other than ours.) Theirs is 6'
high and PAINTED a bright red, which looks pretty good, I have to admit.
Wonder how our ugly fence (if not being replaced) would look in bright Kelly Green?
Their fans are off the chain. Talk about loud and supportive. Wow!
I was impressed. I'd almost like to go down there next year to take in a game.
I know on special occasions, Herd fans can get up and testify, like they did at UK
last year during the regionals. But, to host a regional tournament, 200 seats don't
get it. Also, no lights is also a "Regional" breaker.
Question: Did someone mention that lights and other upgrades were in store for
for the "Dot"? Haven't heard any more comments since the Herd TV
game at home this year.
In the mean time, Geaux Cajuns!
