I think UCM is past the "flailing" stage. In coach Lambo's first year he was obligated by contract to keep coach Boda's assistant coaches for one year. Those guys are now gone, and Lambo has brought in some impressive coaching talent. While it takes a couple of years to cycle through the players, I already see major roster changes.

Will be interesting to see how he does. Based on track record, I'm not sold on him at all.

With Hays struggling, UCM flailing, and a new regime at UNK, the door is wide open for UCO to make something happen.

The 90swax a good time for the regionals in ok. The big three out tu and osu were struggling and limited TV exposure so they were the best gamd in town. We were doing 5to 7 k and nsu and 93 homecoming we did 10k. ( Ou list to isu and I wanted to jump off the top of that stadium) . Not sure will ever get to those numbers again but UCO is ripe for a good year. Unless they UCO it up again. ( Massively underachieve when a year they came in after a successful year)

I’m expecting no fewer than 8 wins this season in AD Year 2. I don’t think that is too lofty of an expectation given his god status with the NW fan base.

I agree. Will it happen?

w/ Dorrel at the helm, I have confidence it will, considering what he did at NWMO.

This was one of the things I used to get upset about. I think that the team will be successful, I should have clarified, it being about attendance. Regarding attendance, I hope so but based upon historical statistics I have seen, I will not take bets either way. Attendance at UCO wasn't that great in the 90s when there were several playoff appearances, granted the stadium was a mudhole back then. I would say it was in the average 3-4 range some tops at 5 or 6.

I cannot speak to how much student engagement they are doing, but community engagement has been completely non-existant. There was more local tv news coverage in the 2000s than there is now. (KFOR always showed highlights back then, and it is hit or miss now.) I would argue that Saturday night Week 0 should be in reality Week 1 for D-II teams. It would give some areas a fighting chance. I like the fact that games are on a noticable radio station for football and basketball. All this being said when it comes to butts in seats, I hope some of my fellow UCO alumns that really couldn't care less about the team will seem like Tony Shiavone soon.

Need to put asses in seats and wins in the record.

Wins might be easier than attendance in OKC.

From my view (and as one who considered ESU when I was in HS), The Kansas Board of Regents took advantage of the ESU presidential change as an experiment on how to thin down faculty with this upcoming enrollment cliff.

Bingo

Was this turmoil started before or after the previous ESU president left? For us Okies that wonders why it matters, she is the chair of RUSO.

Fitting, in the latter seasons of Friends, Chandler knew nothing about sports. He also moved to Oklahoma at the end of the series. But nobody asked you!

hahaha good point.
