What is up with our women's tennis team?
Losing our assistant to be the assistant at North Texas?
Losses to Northwestern La State, A&M-Corpus Christi and Miami-Ohio?

Are we going to go 1-17 again?

At least we didn't default in any matches yesterday!

I assume injuries have been a big part of it. Hopefully things turn around quickly.

1-8 & halfway to a repeat of the one-win 2012 season and can't even go .500 against the Southland teams.

Meanwhile our previous coach (who wanted to stay but who we didn't try to retain) is building a powerhouse at Auburn and her SMU assistant coach who was supposedly interested in our job but was not interviewed has Houston ranked 30 in his 2nd season. Our most recent assistant Jefferson Hammond who did very well at TCU as a HC and would have been a great replacement when Gyulai gets canned bolted for Denton. Probably didn't want to stay on a sinking ship.

Time for some changes. Sweet 16 to terrible overnight makes me depressed.
