Remembering the Rubber Bowl News 5 piece with interview with Lee Owens. Growing up in the Rubber Bowl was magical. I know it was a hole but it was our hole.

I know something

Can confirm that they are 100% full scholarship offers.

I would say last year, specifically, was a pretty good example of the times changing. As soon as the incident occurred with that horrible coach, it was addressed and she was let go. No BS suspension. UA has been just fine over the last 15 years in revenue sports, save for football but got the new stadium at least. As for the smaller sports in the margins—the baseballs, softballs, womens soccers, golfs, etc.—usually lagging behind. It says a lot about a school and athletic department when all of the programs, or most of them, are competing at a high level. I can’t really remember a time where all of those previously listed sports were regularly competitive. That would be great to see.

I never understood how the program could be so bad when the conference tournament was literally held in your city every year (Firestone Stadium). Now it's hosted by the #1 seed, but that always frustrated me. Some of the stories I've heard about one of the former head coaches of this program from former players was insane. I'm not going to tell them as we're past that now, but it definitely showed administration didn't care about the program or it would have had a change a lot earlier than it did. I know time will tell on all these hires, but at least Guthrie has recognized the programs that needed change and has made those changes. I'm glad to see there has been improvement this year with the new staff. Hoping the team can make some noise in the conference tournament!
