I was told the scoreboard is being paid for with money we are getting from the OVC- probably our first share of NCAA tournament money from the league.

Be nice if baseball got any help. Locker rooms need done. And scoreboard needs replaced badly.

I kind of like the old scoreboard, but you can't see it during the day (obviously a problem). I've wondered if moving it out of the sun (left field?) would help with that.

I also have a question. You suggested that there would be a ton of transfers due to the move to the OVC. No doubt it is a "lesser" conference in baseball. My question is, do you still believe this is the case? My hope has been that the players like Coach Curry and the prospect of having a much better chance of making the NCAA tournament might keep them around for another year or two.

Totally agree about the sun problem in the afternoon. If moving the scoreboard to left field would solve the problem, great! But something needs to be done because the scoreboard is totally useless and unreadable when it has direct sunlight on it!

A few left for greener pastures. Several were asked to seek opportunities that fit their skill set. If we hold on to the incoming guys, could be a decent year.
