Due to weather, this week's tournament in Arlington may be the closest we get to a home opener before our game against Oklahoma State on March 5th. After every other UTA program decided they no longer wanted to play us, kudos to softball for being the outlier. However, they decided for this year's Arlington game to be a Thursday 1pm game to try to avoid the heckling of @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, myself and a few others. Joke's on them - I've got the afternoon off this Thursday and look forward to my first softball game of the year. Schedule Tournament Participants School Wins Losses Notes North Texas 8 2 You already know. Incarnate Word 4 6 UIW and UTA already played in Incarnate Word's tournament where they split two meetings.

Northwestern State 1 8 Their sole win was a 4-3 extra-inning victory over Memphis this past weekend. Memphis, under a new head coach, loaded their opening tournament with cupcakes to start 5-0. Yale 0 0 This tournament will be the open of their 2025 campaign. They were 20-26 in 2024.

I imagine the "Co-DC" was to raise his pay, not a matter of actual function. There's no question the new guy is the DC.

Memphis down goes!

This game was already scheduled to start at 5PM. Let's see if it's actually played due to the weather. If the game actually happens Tuesday, I've got a season ticket that I can send someone who can attend - the game is already sold out.

The American has always had at least two tournament bids in its short history, right? I could see Pernetti and the Memphis AD making a deal - conference tourney in Memphis the next three years, but the Tigers can't win.
