SO why was coastal, U of H and Stoney Brook able to beat LSU in post season play but not University of Louisiana. All of those teams had a lower budget than LSU like us but they were able to beat LSU.
Robe beat the #1 team in the country to get to the CWS...next, Fromage....Quote:

I love when Lsu loses any time especially post season. Too bad Tony's team can never beat them when it really counts (post season). He has had several chances and always has failed! Maybe Louisiana does not get up for the opportunity to play LSU....thats what it is right?Quote:

Let me know when Robe has as many championships as Torre.
Where is Gary Gilmore in the comparison? Asking for a friend.

I have no problem with those who say .600 isn't good enough because it didn't get us in a regional. I'm not into mediocre. And, neither is Robe. He has made the necessary changes. One of them is starting to show up with offensive production. The other is about to show up with this recruiting class (although I expect next year to be even better).
As someone pointed out, we all want the same thing. We have a different view on how to get there.
35-21-1 wasn't good enough to get us in a regional. If I remember correctly, most on this board felt if we got deep in the tournament, we'd get one. We didn't. But we were in the conversation until the tournament.
I'll tell you this: With the new league scheduling and the aggressive way we schedule, there will be years when 35-21-1 is good enough. 2021 is when the new league schedules go into effect.
What will the new league schedules entail?Quote:

You only play 3 teams from the other division, so the number of conference games will be reduced.Quote:

Geography helps here because the Big 12, the American, the Southland and the Atlantic Sun all have bye weeks.
Each team will play everyone in its own division and the three opponents from the other division will be based on average RPI over the last three seasons. For the Cajuns, it means playing Coastal, South and Troy in 2021-22.
THe league has not released this because the format for the tournament is yet to be determined.
In 2021 we play:
FIU at home
at Virginia Tech
at Southern Miss
Rice at home.
Our first bye week is the following week. We have TCU at home and then open conference at Coastal Carolina.
Our second bye week we go to Sam Houston.
This league lost a lot in baseball when the Florida schools left. At the time, Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky were both good as well. We replaced them with UTA, Texas State, Georgia Southern and Georgia State, none of whom have made it to postseason since they joined the league. And that's why we haven't had more than two teams in regional play in any given year since then...and sometimes one. We went from being the 5th or 6th best conference to tenth or eleventh.
Hence the change.
This is my only issue with recruiting. I have been to all the past diamond club socials, football recruiting bashes.. etc etc etc. Coach speak rules.Quote:

I just wanna see the coach speak play out in a Cajun uniform.
It's part of the game coaches play and some of those rankings are artificially manipulated.Quote:

But I'm telling you, this class is more talented than what we've been signing.
The Angel kid is touching 96. We are hoping to get him to campus but there's no guarantee. Same with the other JUCO pitcher.
We're signing two more juco pitchers (at least). One is a 6-7 guy who throws hard. He visited over the weekend and he's a good looking specimen.
That guy who hit 16 bombs last year is having another solid season. He's a kid that Wells signed when he was at Louisiana Tech. Wells says he saw him hit one about 500 feet last week.
With junior college players, you hope they hit the ground running. Some have a bit of a learning curve, but I think Wells will have them where we need them to be sooner rather than later.
And, with at least four, and maybe more, JUCO pitchers, plus the HS signees we have, there's going to be serious competition just to make the team next year.
I believe our pitching staff next year will be what we are accustomed to.
Sorry for being positive. I understand that doesn't go over well here.
