I loved NiJaree during her stay at Stanford. 
I totally respect why she transferred. 
So why am rooting for Texas tonight?
Anybody else feel that way?

Yep.  I want NiJaree to succeed.  I'd love for her to come back, if softball can pony up the money.  But Texas Tech has been buying players left and right, and I can't respect that strategy, even if it is clearly the most effective way to win championships.  Maybe Texas has been doing the same, but it's not been at the expense of Stanford.
