Thurman was more of an offensive threat than Monica is.

As a matter of fact, we only have 3 guys who are batting over .300 for the year and one of them (Lott) doesn't play every day and 1 guy slugging over .500 and he's our leadoff hitter.

I don't care how well you pitch, if you hit like _______ then you're not going to win.

Just wait till next years lineup... hint it's not going to be better.

Wonder if Deggs would consider coming back as co head coach for a couple years with the understanding that he would get the job after Robe decides to hang it up...? Like Kittrell did with Calvi at South Alabama - to transition... Not sure when this could/would take place. Just a thought.

I was giving JT the benefit of the doubt, but I've seen the light. Changes are needed.

I see Deggs being a head coach at larger school in Texas (or Rice) before this could happen, then it will probably be too late.

You know this is a message board and everyone has a right to an opinion... I've heard nothing of Robe wanting to hang it up and if anyone suggests a change is needed... well I'll just not comment further... geez

Interesting that the Advertiser reports that replays showed Monica was safe at home in the 4th inning. Says replays showed LSU catcher never tagged him. Not sure if Monica was sent home or not but replays showed he was safe anyway and the call was blown by the home plate umpire.

I'm NOT saying Robe needs to go or hang it up... Focused on JT here. There isn't a bigger Robe fan than me. My wife jokingly calls him my boyfriend... LOL. I could listen to that man talk all day everyday and be happy.

Coincidently the same bad umpire that blew the call at first base on the "foul" ball at Coastal.

Funny you say that. I thought he missed the tags as well. But the throw beat him there and it looked like her got the tag down when it happened live. Wasn't til the replays did I question if the tag was made.

Either way, no reason to be sent home right there (if he was sent).

Cool.. sorry I misunderstood.... I just remember a few years ago during some rather lean years there was a drum beat that the "game had passed him by"... I too have a man crush on him
