The latest poll has Valpo ranked #19!  This proves conclusively that coaching is over rated as the team heads to a Las Vegas tournament without a coach!  I suppose that Dr. Small will send some sort of representative to chaperone!

Congrats!  First time in a while that Bowling has been ranked.

If they are rolling in Vegas, is there any kind of betting line available?

This news could be a good recruiting tool. Umm......... Who's recruiting?

Good news is that the bowling Twitter (stupidly called x) page is being regularly updated by the athletic department. Kudos!

You ever recruited for a park league softball team?

There must be someone within the VU athletic dept, doing a great job, getting the team details (bowling equipment moved, motel details smoothed out, etc) done.

Bowling has a new interim head coach.

Sounds like a great hire, even if it ends up working out as just the interim focus that is initially mentioned.

This seems like a great hire.

The "interim" thing is interesting to me.  I'm wondering if perhaps this guy was about to retire and was approached to cover for the University until a permanent person was selected.  I don't recall any other new head coaches being given the title of "Interim".

The rapid and unexplained exit of the previous coach really left the program in trouble as it was the very beginning of the season.  Seems like this is just a stop gap measure, though he seems eminently qualified for the job.

But... And... If ... you go to the Indiana Tech Bowling web page, their new head coach is an "interim" head coach too who just took over this season.   

And so the mystery continues.

I think the situation at Tech is similar as their interim was only in his second year with the program after playing for them the previous four years.  What's weird is that they announced their schedule on September 26th with "Tom Osborne entering his ninth year as head coach".  Then nothing, not an announcement about his leaving or of the current interim being selected.  It seems like Valpo made him an offering he couldn't refuse!
