With 15:30 left in the first half, we are down 1-0 to USF.  We have spent about 15 seconds on their side of the field.  USF is playing circles around us.  Time for a change at the top.

USF is so much sharper passing the ball, controlling passes, getting to loose balls, anticipating, making runs, etc...  Remember all those shots on goal the program bragged about throughout the year, even though our conversion rate on them was extremely low?  Well, today we have 3 shots, 2 on goal and our conversion rate is the same, zero!

Lost 1-0.  No offensive firepower on this team.  Two of the more highly promoted ladies on the offensive produced little all year long.  I don't recall seeing our best offensive player, Niedermeyer, with the ball in the offensive zone once today.

Finished the year 7-6-6.  Time for Hedlund to step aside, let them name the field after him and ride off into the sunset.  The program needs energy.

That was one boring a$$ game 

Yep.  We generated one true scoring chance and Flannery got walked down by a USF defender who made a great play on the ball.  Outside of that, nothing.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      Again, we have an athletic budget $10 to $16 million more than those other schools we've mentioned. Why can they afford baseball but we can't? Do we offer sports they don't? Something isn't adding up. For what it's worth regarding revenue vs non-revenue sport, ECU's stadium seats 6,000 and it's highest reported capacity was just over that against NC State this year. The stadium reportedly cost $11 million in 2005 so probably would be double today. I know ECU gets great support but that just shows the opportunity is there. Would a baseball stadium that seats 4k not yield a higher return on investment than say a new $50+ million basketball arena when we average around 4k in our current basketball arena?

      Honest tactical question here…

      We hired a coach that runs the Mike Leach run and gun offense.The concept is score fast which puts the defense on the field for a lot of the game. We knew this when we hired him so why are we surprised that this is what he is doing? The problem is that we have a shit defense to begin with, and when we go 3 and out they don't have time have a brief rest between possessions . If he can fix the defense net season we should be okay. If not make a another coaching change that based upon our history will change nothing.

      I ABSOLUTELY agree! We had 77 new players, but most were freshmen. You can’t win with freshmen. They leaned too much on this IMO. It’ll take a good 2.5-3 years for them to hit their stride. By that time…hello portal.

      Flyover?

      They saw the stadium and thought the game was cancelled coz of all the empty seats.

      On the other side there is no reason to think we can compete in baseball. Its a financial drain that starts with the construction of a venue ,which I will ballpark [pun intended] the cost at at about $15 million which we don't have. Then the cost of staffing, scholarships ,travel ,Title 9 additions, etc. , all for adding an expensive non revenue generating sport seems irresponsible.
