If we want to make this the softball thread for the season, that's OK with me. But let me suggest we change the thread title to show what sport it's about. Seems to me thread titles should indicate what the whole thread is about. Maybe I'm just being dense again, but I can't tell that from the title of this thread.

The softball program seems to be headed in a positive direction under coach Butler. She deserves credit for saving a moribund program. Can she take us to the first tier of the MAC? I think she has a good shot!

Go Rockets!
