I think this weekend will go a long way in telling us what kind of club the Cats will be this season. This will be a real test for Moranda, winning two or a sweep would signal the Cats of old just may be back. A sweep by the Seahawks spells trouble in the dugout.

What's happened to all our baseball fans? I thought there would be lots of baseball talk by now. Jerry, I think most of the Old Timers on here are just about burned out over Athletics at WCU. With a shoestring budget, I don’t see a bright light at the end of WCU’s Athletic Tunnel. It is not worth spending time watching WCU Sports when the University does not invest enough money into the Sports Programs to make them competitive. For the first time in many years, I am ashamed of my school & the caliber of the teams that are representing Western Carolina University in the SoCon. |
