What are the dimensions at the stadium ??...220 or 200...I think I heard the announcers say they moved the fences back...In this day and time of the specialized athlete and the training routines these girls go through, aren't those dimensions a little short ??..I mean 10-12 year old boys play with a 200 ft. fence.....

In the first game they said they'd moved the corners back to 200' this year, but the center remained at 220'.

I wouldn't exactly say that. The announcers seem pretty impressed with us. They have mentioned numerous times how young but talented we are. They seem especially impressed with Ivy.

They seem impressed with us, but there's also this tone like they assumed it was just a matter of time before reality caught up with the lower-ranked cinderella, while AZ is the real deal.

I don't think they're against us, I just think they don't really believe we're got as much talent as AZ or UCLA, and that we're surviving on heart.

Do you believe we've got as much talent as AZ or UCLA? AZ I do but I don't think so when it comes to UCLA. They have been by far the best team so far. And to be honest I can't argue with the announcers tone much. I think there are probably very few who thought we'd make it as far as we have.

I almost ended the post with, "And they could be right" but I was scared of bad juju with a game going on.

Unfortunately, I haven't watched enough this year (until the postseason) to really know. If you treat "talent" and "experience" as separate, then, given our youth we're obviously more talented than either team. If, however, like a normal person, you think "talent = experience + athletic skill" then it's kind've tricky. After all, despite the fact that we are so young and inexperienced, we're 1-1 against AZ and still tied up in the 3rd game. That kind've implies that we've not only got more athletic skill (to overcome our inexperience), but that we've got equal talent....
