We have a two-game Texas road swing this week. We play UTEP on Thursday at 8:00 P.M. CT and we play UTSA on Saturday at 2:00 P.M. CT.

MCH has resurrected the program. There are not enough superlatives to stress what she has done.

Just hope we can get some fan support.

I've been impressed with MCH's recruiting and coaching. How is she in your community? Does she do the kind of outreach that might lead to bigger crowds?

I know this question has probably been asked a 100 times but here it goes again..

why didn't the conference schedule doubleheaders road trips? It makes things so much easier on the fans. I live 70 miles a way from Diddle and make it down for all of the men games but hardly ever the LadyToppers...maybe once a year. But I always enjoyed the double headers at home and especially on the road in the SBC.

I hate how cusa schedules the men's and women's games. Just like the MUTS game this year. Both fan bases are going to be hurt because the games are the same day in opposite cities. Sucks

Double headers don't make sense for MT. The Lady Raider program draws as many if not more fans. Why sacrifice that gate for a doubleheader that may only draw 1,000 more people? Furthermore, who should play first? It might hurt the guys' feelings if they were slated as the "undercard."

The W Ky and MT games are on different days now. But what moron scheduled the mens' game for noon on a Sunday? TV coverage should be rejected if it makes for a LESS beneficial game experience.

But playing games at the same time in different cities IS a stupid idea. If I attend the MT home game, it is very difficult to follow along with the away game. And I am sure all the advertisers on the broadcasts are pissed to be losing audience.

Is it really noon on Sunday? Wow how many people will you lose because of church? Should be at least 1 pm or 2pm

Probably not too many to make a significant impact. A lot of the fans at that one will probably be MT students anyway. And they are typically the ones who don't go to church as regularly.
