Not going to happen since SMU won’t be hosting a college football playoff game.

This is the first one anywhere near Texas. However, promoted correctly it will sell out.

Would rather have 30k in a 30k seat stadium than 45k in a 93k seat stadium.

Probably the better venue for the game anyway.

We beat SHSU in Huntsville.

Good for @KRAM1

Sounds like he is a transferer.

If it were my decision I absolutely would have played in the NIT, but the NCAA didn’t make a mistake leaving us out. We didn’t have the resume for an at large. Period.

This is a little different than even the CIT or CBI. The spot is earned automatically the same way the basketball NIT is. I guess at the end of the day we must have had concerns about how worthwhile it was going to be.

Looks like we did decline the softball NIT spot.

This makes our 2 for 0 series with Iowa look like a home run.

National Invitational Softball Championship.

The season is not over unless we choose not to participate in the Softball NIT. We may decline, but we have automatic bid because of winning the conference.

The games are moved up again tomorrow. La Tech and Marshall play at 9am followed by NT and MTSU at 11am. Time for us to start scoring some runs tomorrow.

In this format the benefit of the bye is mostly avoiding the single elimination knock out round. (See: WKU) Also, while pitchers can theoretically go every game it is far from ideal when multiple games per day are clustered together in consecutive days. No more room for error tomorrow. Have to go 2-0. Still don’t even know the opponent as MTSU/La Tech was pushed back to this evening.
