[NU Sports] No Respect

[BSchooler at aol.com]

What's the deal here? Northwestern softball is the #9 seed nationally. Yet we 
get sent to unseeded Notre Dame for the Regional. But five other seeded teams 
had to go on the road for a Regional. Okay, we're one of the unfortunate six. 
But now it's official; we play unseeded DePaul in the Super Regional at a 
neutral site - University of Illinois at Chicago. Is there something wrong with 
our home field (Drysdale Field?)? Can it not accommodate a Super Regional. 
Surely, temporary bleachers could have been erected if that was the issue. Only 
one other higher ranked seed had to go on the road for a Super Regional - poor 
#2 seed California has to go on the road again - this time to #15 seed Baylor. 
But at least Baylor is seeded and is one of the unfortunate six who had to go 
on the road for a Regional. Northwestern alone among seeded teams has been 
forced to play away from home against an unseeded team in a Super Regional. This 
p*sses me off.
