Softball doubleheader vs #22 ASU (2PM EST) and #1 Florida (4:30PM EST) - Open thread

Submitted by ಠ_ಠ on

The #2/#3 Wolverines, winners of nineteen straight, begin the Judi Garman Classic in Fullerton, California today with two big time matchups.

First is ASU, who Michigan swept last weekend in Tempe. They also ended each of the past two ASU seasons, so the Sun Devils will be looking for revenge.

The second game features the two hottest teams in the country. In this one it will be Michigan looking for revenge after UF defeated the Wolverines in extra innings in the season opener. It remains the only loss of the season.

There is no live video available for either game today, but you may listen to the UF game HERE. I'll look for an ASU stream and update when I find one. Update: Looks like no audio available for ASU either.

GAME DAY! Ready to play two? #YouBetsa #GoBlue

Disaster!!!..WOW looking like a Doubleheader Loss..Who wouldve thunk.. back to earth and reality...Baylor tommorow is going to be difficult too..This will hurt somewhat seeding wise but as long as we are top 8 were good and I cant see us going below the 8 line this year...

 

Guess the pressure just caught up

I'm not sure how long they have been away from Ann Arbor but it seems to me its been a few weeks. Hotel food, no home environment, and just a different schedule. It gets to you. Plus these two teams we played today are very good teams. Florida is #1 and I'm not sure where ASU ranks right now. Just a bad day. The bad part is the selection committee won't care that you traveled for a month. Plus the Big Ten is pretty weak. We should make the tournament but this hurts our chances to host a regional or super regional even if we win the Big Ten.
