I see Coach Davis has a tweet about a fundraiser for football they are doing. I'm glad to see they are doing something. It mentioned food (training table) and some facility improvements the money would be used on.

Just watched the video - is this geared toward football alumni? He specifically mentioned them is why I am asking. And what would facilities upgrades be? Specifically those for Hanson Field.

I kinda had those same questions, noticed that also he mentioned the alumni. Also seemed it was more for the food/training table than improvements. Even if it was all going towards improvements to facilities not much you could do with $50,000. Would like to see or hear more specifics.

Some of the facility upgrades is new graphics for the East side of Hanson Field adding the OVC logo, coaches offices (they are really outdated) and new furniture for the locker room. Our coaches currently have no privacy for player meetings etc.

Please feel free to donate. Thank you for considering a donation.
