How many of you identify as "the baseball crowd"?

I hope you are right, Jay, but I have serious doubts.

Whomsoever inherits the respective Robichaux or Lotief programs' will have an astronomical advantage over what Marlin inherited.

I was in numerous classes with Allison during our college years, she is a pretty cool lady. We would do fine hiring her. I would love to see her here, but hopefully not until Coach Lotief decides himself he is done.

Alyson got a nice mention from Coach Robe on his radio show this past Saturday. They were talking about the female pitcher at Bossier Parish CC now, Sarah Hudek. She's the only female player in college baseball right now. Robe mentioned that Alyson played baseball at Notre Dame and how good of a player she was. She was the first female baseball player in a Louisiana HS. He also mentioned her playing pro baseball with the Colorado Silver Bullets.

I could always have used the Kelley Hall-Errol Rogers example... Errol inherited 3 starters including 2 1000 point scorers from a 25 win team with a top 40 RPI and promptly LOST 25 games in his first year.

Boomer, he will still manage to lose to good programs more often than not.

Robe took over a program after the previous coach went 291-141 over 7 years.

Safe to say he didn't start from nothing.

He took over a program on probation and scholarship reductions, so he didn't have a ton of talent left. He also had to clean out the locker room some as well.
