Hoping for the best, but it sounds like our 8+-year run of not losing a conference series may be in serious jeopardy this year. We may just have to start another one next year after Aly gets her players on board.

My impression is he left because of a job opening where he could count on a lot more NIL money than UL was able/willing to generate. If that's your definition of being forced out, I guess that makes sense. I hadn't heard anything from MH/Reinhardt that would make me think otherwise.Quote:

And though I have no way of knowing for a fact, I honestly believe the NIL would have not caused him to leave if he was able to hire his daughter here. UL administration or Maggard told him it would be considered nepotism.Quote:

And knowing him your whole life isn’t the proof of that you seem to think it is. :)
Jmv told me that CajunSball22 is Mike Loteif. He asked me not tell anyone so don’t say I told you.Quote:

I had the oppurtunity to visit with Geri Ann on a few occassions before her tragic passing. Awesome person and as a parent I can't even imagine losing a child. So I'm sure the opportunity to spend time with Tara at Texas Tech was a big motivator.
Life is a LOT bigger than the diamond and I personally will lean on the fact that as a whole I believe there are a lot of people on both sides happy with the outcome. I think the same will be said for Cajun softball fans as a whole as well.
Perfect post.Quote:

Great post. Especially "Life is a LOT bigger than the diamond and I personally will lean on the fact that as a whole I believe there are a lot of people on both sides happy with the outcome. I think the same will be said for Cajun softball fans as a whole as well."Quote:
