Interesting read in the Trib today ( front page) and on line. http://tbo.com/sports/colleges/ut-usf-baseball-coaches-differ-on-merits-cuba-visit-20140122/

 

 

Spartan teams have won a combined total of 13 NCAA Division–II National Titles, as follows: six in Baseball (1992, 1993, 1998, 2006, 2007 and 2013), three in Men's Soccer (1981, 1994 and 2001), two in Golf (1987 and 1988), one in Volleyball (2006), and one in Women's Soccer (2007).

 

Maybe we should consider going to Cuba to get some Baseball players?

And just in case there are those not familiar, Lelo was the coach for the first two titles.

YES he Was, and we are still waiting for that to carry over here at USF.

I think we are going to surprise this year from what I hear most of the fielders in the freshman class can play anywhere. Gonna miss some of the bats from last year but, college baseball is hard to predict.

Fascinating article.  It's loosely tied to USF on field athletics, but still very interesting.

In July I drove by the Estadio Latinoamericano (part of a larger sports complex) in Cuba.  It is a sad and depressing place, in a sad and depressing part of Havana (El Cerro), which also happens to be where a branch of my family is from.

Or maybe we should just consider dropping down to d2?  :stirpot:

I care about Cuba deeply, but not its government, that's for sure.  It's important to keep in mind that the government that's in place does not represent the people.  Being in place for a long time doesn't make it legitimate.

 

While I've been to Cuba to visit family and I don't have a problem with people who go for that purpose, I respect and appreciate Lelo Prado's position as expressed in the article.  I'd love to see USF play Cuban teams one day - just not yet.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
