Just curious. I know this is basically a football site, but

why, as a rule, there are more baseball updates, and posts, than ladies softball? Being a new program, are you not impressed with what they have accomplished to date? Plus, it’s more fun to watch...shorter games, don’t go on for three to four hours, no taking off the glove and then putting it back on again, etc. just asking.

Maybe it's because the ladies need to be home in the kitchen making us football guys sandwiches instead of playing ball. Now before you go chastising me, I didn't approve this message. I just typed it while my wife was making me a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.

Sounds like she’s got things well in control if you think a grilled cheese qualifies as dinner.

Have you checked out Wal-mart lately. You can hardly find cat food .Besides grilled cheese goes well with Campbell's tomato soup. But don't think that is all she can make. This week end the wife is going to make palmetto cheese while I watch The Masters.

You must be new this isn’t a football centric site. Its primary focuses are politics, inside jokes, misspelling words for comedic effect, and trolling our rivals web sites. Football is only discussed when the Tucker Carlson show is in re-runs.

I beg to differ; I'd rather watch reruns of Carlson than anything new those lousy left wingers promote.

Primarily because it’s a women’s sport and Men’s sports pay the bills and the fact that we could have built a new scoreboard in Death Valley with the money spent on that girls softball field

well, softball pays a lot of their bills themselves

maybe not all, but it's the 4th highest revenue generating sport in college. Behind football, men's basketball and baseball.
And college baseball is like watching paint dry.
Does spending millions on a scoreboard seem like wise use of money when there are starving kids in Africa?

Yeah but those starving kids in Africa didn’t take up parking spaces for football games when there was a perfectly usable field already available at the Baptist church a couple miles up the road

Well since those kids are starving, I doubt any would help on the O Line, but if any run a 4.2 40 I will be happy to send my .43 cents a day. Ok, ok, I kid. The Softball program has started off wonderfully and I'm proud of them. I just find it is much like most women's sports here in the US; if your daughter isn't playing it's not that appealing.

Baseball is one the largest money losing sports

for 90% of athletic departments. Very high costs with the size of team, equipment, amount of games and travel with often very little attendance revenue. Even in the SEC, only A&M and LSU make substantial money from it. "Big" programs like South Carolina and Florida even lose money in it.

A football site? LOL! To some degree it is, but with people like Carlsbad, Tigerbalm, Catahoula, etc, around, it's very political. They view the offense going into a huddle as a conspiracy to initiate an insurrection on the Capitol. If you can overlook their ridiculous comments, then T'netters actually comment on and discuss football and other sports from time-to-time.

care for, or watch Wimmins sports at all.
I myself find Clemson Softball to be about the most entertaining thing going right now. The ladies are obviously having a blast playing their sport, and are showing that they are pretty darn good at it, and getting even better.

Football Soccer Softball Golf
Some Clemson sportsman needs to be courting and making babies with Cagle in a few years. Respectfully, this young lady is one of the top athletes at Clemson -- that is saying a lot with the talent on the soccer and football teams. She has superb hand-eye coordination, and we need her kids at Clemson!
