He won't remember that, he's too young. I remember.

This is, of course, only MY OPINION... but if were my decision, we would not play in softball OR baseball. I think both our baseball and softball teams would do fine without ever having to play them and get into all this stuff each time. I was SO happy for the few years that we did not play in baseball. I am currently glad that we don't play in softball and hope that continues!!
You do have a point (about the internal damage), but I would argue this -- if Girouard had never coached at U(S)L at all, would the Cajun softball program even exist. You say that you work your whole life to retire on $25 million (and you are right, it would be pointless if lost gambling) -- what Girouard did for the program is worth more than money. Even with all of the idiotic things she did upon leaving, she still created the program. The fact that the Lotiefs inherited a program at all shows you how much effect Yvette had on softball at UL. She made some bad decisions upon leaving and burned some bridges that she may need to use again someday, but she left an indelible mark on the university's athletic program -- in a way, I guess, both good and bad.
I see it's pointless having a meeting of the minds with you. You have never jumped in, for your "entertainment purposes", and slammed any of the stupid (and misspelled) gibberish from the LSU ass-clowns that get on here. You selectively target only UL people (of which your daughter is one) and think hard about questions and challenges to UL only. It is always a jab at UL, never any acknowledgement that isn't something ladened with ridicule and never add anything that is not pro-LSU. You of all people don't need to clear "the two-way street"... you are as "one-way" as I have ever seen... and again, with a daughter at UL. Pathetic.
I could care less about using the term "traitor". Yvette was offered the LSU position years prior and used the stage to announce she was staying where her heart was. Well, the wallet has a funny way of changing where your heart is. I really could care less either way. People make decisions and live with the consequences. I would prefer the subject were a dead one. Let's play ball (soft, that is).
As for Robe, when he came to UL we had a very solid baseball program. However, I can clearly see McNeese being sore over losing him.
I like certain coaches for the way they carry themselves... but, I came to know a coach at LSU pretty well over a few years... and to see what they have to endure... I just about can't see them as anything but guns for hire. It always helps when they claim a love for the school they are currently at... but some of these schools treat them like a hooker.... and a lot of coaches oblige.
Why use the term traitor, UL should have paid her what she was worth. I am sure it was hard for her to leave the team she built. But think about this, wouldn't you leave your current employer if someone else offered 2.5x -3.0x your current pay with the same job responsibilities?
Just picking nits, but I would use the term "spy" to desribe someone who fits your definition much like Skorzeny's troops during the Ardennes Offensive. A traitor is one of your own who for some reason, usually either idiology or financial gain, turns on you and joins the other side such as Benedict Arnold during the Revolutionary War.
Benedict Arnold...now here's a situation where Foote could really his favorite term. I wonder if he will refer to Yvette that way?:D
I wish you were around when I left my ex wife for a younger girl. She thought my confession of love was above the looks of an attractive younger girl (serious assets, if you know what I mean). I not only knabbed me a little babe, but I took the kids and left the old hag without a dime. Needless to say, the old hag doesn't think kindly of me now. She had the nerve to remove a plaque she gave me that said "to my wonderful, loyal husband". I thought that was so tacky. I was loyal and wonderful up to the point I shafted her old butt. What's wrong with her? Yes, I told her I loved her, and even passed on opportunities to hook up with younger, prettier girls in the past... but I couldn't pass it up that last time. I'm a good dude and certainly not a "traitor". Well, in truth, my ex wife was there for me and with me in my weakest years, but once my career took off, I just couldn't turn down all that young tang that was coming my way.
Could you write to my ex and explain to her that everyone leaves what they claim to love when money or hot sex is made available? <----- this is not a true story... but I think you can figure out the analogy.
quite understandable opinion in light of a 3-13 record in softball, and the knowledge you've never come out of a regional that lsu was also in. i feel your pain.
below is my recent softball post; lots of ul ridicule, lots of pro-lsu, tons of jabs and challenges at ul.... ironic you used "pathetic" in your post--the exact adjective i had in mind for you; the noun i was thinking was "moron."

28 on act. the schools she listed on the app were tulane, lsu and ul. the test score document indicated that, with her number, she'd be in the top 40%of applicants to Tulane [pay the fee, get your B], top 30% at lsu, and, as i recall, top 10% at ul [her documents aren't here, i'm going by memory--called her, but no answer on the cell. i guess that would have something to do witht he 'less tough' to get in part]. went first year to lsu, dad's alma mater. got homesick. asked if it would be ok to come home and go to ul. no problem with me, as i was having the empty nest thing bad. she likes it at ul, liked it at lsu, but likes best of all being home. as to the earlier post, i'll have to ask her about her "allegiance." thanks to everybody for caring.
