Air Force’s baseball team is scheduled to open up Mountain West Conference play on Friday against TCU.
The fifth-ranked Horned Frogs are the highest-ranked opponent the Falcons will have faced since 1999 when they took on top-ranked Rice. The Falcons upset the Owls, 10-5, on May 14, 1999 at Falcon Field before losing the next two games 23-4 and 14-3.
Air Force (5-16) is coming off a trip to Honolulu where it was swept by Hawai’i in four straight games and has lost 10 of 11 games to Division I opponents. TCU is 16-4.
Odds of . . .
- AF winning any of the 3 games — 5%
- TCU scoring more than 20 in any one game — 90%
- TCU scoring more than 30 in any one game — 50/50
- Hutcheon getting his contract extended before the end of the year — 80%
- Next year’s AF team roster containing 50%+ freshmen (again) — 99.9%
Sigh . . .
