Young Jacks' softball team has started 1-4 but has played every game tough so far, including two close ones to Iowa State. Lost a game today they should have won.

Re: 2014 Jacks
Is there any hope for this team? Next year? Two years? I think I'll stop teasing the Bison about their women's basketball team!

Re: 2014 Jacks
Anyone have some ideas on what can be done to support Interim Coach Hupp and the team? I haven't heard anything about recruiting. I have heard good things about Coach Hupp.Comment

It's definitely been a black eye for the athletic department, in my opinion. The team hasn't had much success since Bouman left, but that's obviously an entirely different subject.
The indoor practice facility will help. So will a coach. An interim coach can't recruit.Disclaimer: This post may contain assumptions and/or opinions related to Jackrabbit Athletics.Comment

Re: 2014 Jacks
... very little support...? $455,000 in FY 2013 per the BOR report.. We consistently have out spent the yotes in the past 8 years although they have caught up a bit lately. Just need to have some stability and catch a break on recruiting.
I believe the administration is, and will be, strongly behind every Jack team we put out there to represent us!Comment

I didn't have the numbers, but it seemed like with all the coaching changes softball wasn't much of a priority. That's why I said outsiders opinion.Originally posted by Roy View Post

Re: 2014 Jacks
A coach who didn't deliver, followed by a coach who started to rebuild, but left (because of family ties) in her 2nd year, and too late to get a coach...thus the need for the interim coach...all leads up to a tough situation. The search for a coach has begun, and I second Roy's comments that this administration is fully committed to both softball and baseball, regardless of whether they are spring sports. I will agree with you in hoping a new coach will help get softball on the road back.Originally posted by SDSUAlum08 View PostComment

Re: 2014 Jacks
When I was playing this past year I was really excited about college and really looking forward to playing softball, preferably at State. However, the unstable coaching situation really did make me think.Originally posted by Jacks#1Fan View PostGreat moments are born from great opportunities.

Jacks lead W. Illinois 3-0 in the 1st after back-to-back-to-back homers to start the game. Huh? What?"Tell the truth and pay your bills and you don't have to back down from anyone"--My DadComment
