We're not last!  Woohooooo!!!!!

We shoulda never let those Texas schools in.

Pretty crazy though seeing the teams that are in 11-15.  The past two NC winners, plus perennially strong Vanderbilt and South Carolina.  And heck, seeing Ole Miss in the bottom half too.  What a wild, weird, wacky conference.

Also unusual to see Florida be middle of the pack.  And unless I'm mistaken, Bama isn't usually one of the better teams with that kind of record.  

Swept at home by Florida.  Barring an extremely unlikely run to victory through the SEC tournament to claim an auto-bid--and there's nothing to suggest LSU is capable of pulling it off--their season is done with the conference tourney.  

LSU post-mortem:

As of the end of the regular season:  The Tigers were swept in 5 of their 10 SEC series, and finished the regular season 9-21, surpassing the previous program high of 18 losses set in 1978 (6-18).  Along the way, the Tigers also set a school record with 9 consecutive SEC losses during the middle of the season.  

Among all SEC teams, LSU's pitching staff finished dead last in five key areas:  team ERA (7.24), runs allowed (267), earned runs allowed (231), walks (183), and wild pitches (53).  Not only did they finish last in those categories, they seemed to get worse as the year went on.  They gave up 11 or more runs in each of the last six.  

Not much better on the fielding front, where they finished last in fielding percentage and third to last in passed balls.  

Additionally, LSU lost arguably its best pitcher, and arguably its best two players for the season, as well as losing its next-best pitcher for multiple games.  None of those injuries excuse the dismal stats or sloppy play, but they do underscore just what a forgettable season it was.  

Softball team won their regional, and moves on to face #1 Alabama in the Super.  Guess I'll root for them now, though I don't know anything about them.  

Horns swept a hapless Mizzou team to finish the regular season second in the conference.  A couple of late-inning pitching breakdowns made two of the games far more interesting than they should have been. The team's bullpen is just too inconsistent for me to think they've got a chance at winning the NC.  They're a good team but not a great one.  They SHOULD make it out of their own regional this year, but they SHOULD have done the same last year too, and didn't.

Anyway, it's been a pretty fun season and hopefully the program can continue building.

Maybe they can at least make a deep tourney run and knock out some over-hyped ACC teams along the way.  That's always fun. 

Fingers crossed.  Last year they got knocked out of their own regional by little brother UTSA.  Ooof.
