A little news around the conference after Bama opens up sweeping Missouri.

In a #4 versus #7 series, UofSC was swept by Kentucky.

#1 Florida and #5 Arkansas lost two of three this weekend to #3 Tennessee and #12 Ole Miss.

This weeks rankings should be released in the next few hours.

Florida is at LSU this weekend and Arkansas has South Carolina.

The Bama ladies will be in Hawaii in non-conference play. More on that later today...

Hope they are focused to play well...and not to much time on the gorgeous beaches....

I've not looked at their travel itinerary but from a quick glance it looks like they're playing everyday. They did pretty well when they took their trip to Japan last summer. They were playing New Zealand (1-1) and Great Britian (0-1-1.) Considering those teams were practicing for competition against the likes of USA Softball, 1-2-1 is a pretty good outing.

(It was the first time we saw Fouts and she lived up to her billing.)

Just looked and the ladies open play Wed with 1 game, a DH on Thursday, and a DH on Friday before coming back to the mainland for a 3 game series at College Station next Fri, Sat, and Sun.

That I pretty much knew except for which days had double headers. I didn't know if they were flying out this morning or had yesterday. I've learned they are already there—arrived yesterday.
