Still feeling good about this? We're winless after 5 games. I feel good about it. Without more scholarships, I think that this is what we can expect from our program. Coach is doing well with what he has.

Except against Charlotte, we were competitive in all of our matches (I did not see any of the exhibitions).

I agree Babst is doing well with what he has. I love our current team, and DK will go down as a Davidson soccer all-time great, but I'm not convinced that what he has is the best we can get. There's a whole world of good young soccer players out there.

As to the extension, I suspect this was always the plan when the college raised the money to endow the Head Coach position.

I think the AD is pretty satisfied with bad soccer. Like the last several coaches, this one doesn't have much chance of success without a big increase in resources.

Good chance to get a win today as UNCA comes in for a 2pm game. The Bulldogs are off to a 3-1-1 start. Go Cats.
