Today, and this series, are a snapshot of our entire season! Blowing leads, walking WAY TOO MANY BATTERS, and not able to get that clutch hit when needed!
Losing 8 Seniors and likely one or more to the "Transfer Portal"(I really hate that thing) basically means a total rebuild from for next season!
maybe it’s time for a new coach
Nothing against you personally dmr55, you have every right to share your thoughts and opinions. I'm not attacking you or your statement. But I'd like to use your comment to take the opportunity to express this is exactly why I am beginning to dislike and lose interest in college sports.
A coach, who founded the program, has been a loyal member of the EKU athletics and campus community for more than 30 years, has consistently recruited students who have excelled academically and rarely (if ever) have brought negative publicity to the program or university, AND won a conference tournament title just one year ago -- gets this kind of response to one down season.
The emphasis on winning games in college sports has gone too far. I can understand that kind of expectation of the John Caliparis and Nick Sabans of the world who are making millions of dollars each year. But the way that kind of expectation has filtered down to the "non-revenue"/olympic sports blows me away. This is a person who is probably making 70-80k a year and giving far more time to the job than she is being compensated for.
I wish there was a more balanced view of college sports with appreciation from fans for academic success and character development.
As it stands now: EKU 9-14 and Lipscomb 9-14!
