It's just Eric Lopez, Victor Anderson, and YOU on our latest episode of In The Circle. The guys share their thoughts on the weekend results in Norman, Westwood, and a surprising result in the B1G. Eric has concerns about an SEC team that is in danger of not hosting regionals for the first time in nearly 20 years. They also share thoughts on Saturday's situation in Starkville and why college softball might have a Caitlin Clark problem. Don't worry; we will explain what we mean.

Our latest podcast breaks down what happened in Stillwater on Friday night and what didn't happen that has the guys red-hot. Eric Lopez shares what it means for the Cowgirls' chances for the No. 1 overall seed and keeping up with the defending two-time champion Oklahoma Sooners. Victor Anderson looks at a wild series in Lexington with Texas A&M and Kentucky and what happened in Knoxville. Also, Eric is not happy about his Men's Tournament Bracket. We class up the show as SEC Network commentator Francesca Enea shares some of her biggest storylines in college softball in 2023 and her outlook on the SEC and college softball. She also discusses juggling her broadcasting duties both with Florida and UCF. 

Our episode wraps up with a look around the rest of college softball, including a surprising sweep in the Big Ten, a team in the Sun Belt who might be the biggest challenger to Louisiana, and one player's quest to do something NEVER BEFORE done in college softball. 

With B1G Softball getting started this weekend, it's only fitting that we bring B1G Ten Network commentator Sammy Nettling to join us on the show's latest episode to share her thoughts on the league as conference play starts this weekend. She also looks at the outlook for the Big Ten this season, the key storylines she's looking for, her playing career at Northwestern, and how she got into broadcasting.

Eric Lopez released his first Bracketology on Extra Innings Softball this week. Victor asks E-Lo how fluid the hosting situation is for some teams, how likely SEC doesn't get all 13 teams in, and how an ASUN school can cause a butterfly effect for several bubble teams. 

With ESPN ramping up their coverage of College Softball, what better time to have their long-time statistician Karen Johns join us on our latest episode. She chats with Eric Lopez about her extensive career in softball and her bond with Beth Mowins, Michele Smith, and the A-Crew with the Women's College World Series. This is one interview you don't want to miss.

One of the guys took March Madness a little too literally on our latest episode of In The Circle. Victor Anderson shares his thoughts on two situations with umpires at UC Riverside and in Long Beach that have him fired up. He also gives a little speech to the umpires who might be on a little power trip lately. As Victor calms down, Eric Lopez chats with Pac-12 Network analyst Kenzie Fowler to recap the opening week in the Pac-12 and her early impressions of the league so far. We wrap up the show by looking at the ASUN, including a job opening the week that league play starts and who will challenge Liberty and Central Arkansas. 

This weekend was one of the wildest this season, and we'll break it down in our latest episode. We look at Texas A&M's series win over Arkansas and one of the most surprising results involving UCLA and Cal. Plus, we recap the weekend in the Pac-12 and SEC. We catch up with SEC Network analyst Tori Vidales about her thoughts on the SEC heading into this past weekend. She also shares her growing broadcasting schedule and perspective on getting more assignments. We finish the show with Eric Lopez and Victor Anderson recapping their respective weekends in Orlando and Madeira Beach. Victor came with some sun, and hot takes about a pair of pitchers. 

We have A LOT to get to on our latest episode. First, we discuss the news out of Raleigh with Jennifer Patrick-Swift being fired from NC State. Justin McLeod from Extra Innings Softball chats with Eric about what is next for the program and why the change was made so early in the season. Afterward, we're joined for the first time in our podcast form by ACC Network analyst Caylan Arnold. She looks back at her playing career and what led her to attend Florida State. She also shares how she got started in broadcasting and much more. We then look back at the UCF/Fullerton classic, which got reviews about its broadcasts...for all the WRONG reasons.
