Perhaps we will see some new ideas/programs and upgrading of game activities/promotions, etc with these new people in new positions in the Athletic Department.  Along with our new President and A. D. let's hope these new faces and fresh ideas and will recognize the needs for athletic department facilities improvements and these improvements will be implemented with more urgency.

In looking at all of our teams(M & W) competing in the Valley, I think we can say that we are getting better and more competitive every year in almost every sport.  Granted there have been some glitches in some spots, but overall I believe we are gradually growing into the Valley level of play.  In general, recruiting has improved.  Lets hope the improvement will continue and bring even more positive changes and improvements in our overall athletic program.  Moving to a better conference always takes time to adjust in recruiting and facility improvements.  As we all know, the facility improvements always take even more time, especially for a smaller, private school like VU.  Lets face it, Valley competition is waaaay ahead of the Summit and Horizon leagues, demanding better recruiting, improved scheduling, bigger budgets and better facilities.  I think we will get to where we want to be...just wish it would happen quicker.

 i am very much surprised and very disappointed that Valpo has a Women's Golf meet scheduled on Easter Sunday. One of the most important, if not the most important Christian church holiday in the year.  Sure sends  a poor message, even if it only involves a small number of student athletes.

It's refreshing to see the baseball uniforms using BROWN & gold(yellow) colors in this year"s preview piece.

Heard an interview on WJR in Detroit yesterday with King Kampe.  He apparently has a new look in that he said he has lost 52 pounds.  The way he talked the loss was below his shoulders, not above.

When will we return to using Brown and Gold for our uniform colors?  Enough of the black...everybody uses black! Maybe i'm dating myself but aren't we ever going to return to our school colors like most  of our other sports.   Every once in a while I do like the Gray uni but apparently they have put those on a high shelf somewhere.
