It's a big series on the road with one of the 2 teams we are tied with for the top spot in the conference. It's also our first conference road trip. Houston has been a very solid program the past few years and they are a good team again this year which is why they were ranked. Cumbie seems to be the Friday night starter so I'm guessing he will start again this week and their pitching staff has been very good. We need to find a way to scratch out enough runs to take 2 of 3.
New stadium can drum up excitement from the casual fan. Not necessarily be a long term solution. It may become more of an event plus the ease of attending drives up student attendance. This could in turn increase future alumni support. New stadium on campus + winning will most likely equal continued increase in attendance
Sounds about right. Probably only 4 teams tops getting in the NCAA tourney though so we need to keep winning series. Mohl has done a good job with the pitching for sure
Our athletic fees are in the lower third of public schools in the state. Two of the schools lower than us, UF and FSU, receive huge revenue from tv deals in their P5 conference.
I didn't read the article, but can this be used to circumvent the trips to the mound by a coach rule? Coach just tells catcher to go to the mound and tell the pitcher something?
Money is for more than just the stadium. Includes expansion and renovations at the convention center and arena which will be next door. I would guess that the stadium will service more than UAB football as well
