Status Quo or Changes

If babineaux was so good why is still stuck at usl after 20 some years...for that matter why is robe still here with his success at mid level baseball...no one ever comes courting him from a major program when they have an opening...maybe the rest of the college baseball hierarchy knows what fleur de leis fans don't want to see...here's a new robism for you...ROBICHAUX AND BABINEAUX GOTTA GO!!!

The changes discussed are quite large.

Not the kind made by a person staring retirement down.

Comfortable = status quo

Doesn't matter what I Think.

It matters what Maggard and Robe thinks.

I will be there again next season, but I won't allow myself to get excited about the signees we bring in and lower my expectations.

Basketball is a prime example of the accuracy of this post. We have had five winning seasons in a row. However they were preceeded by 8 consecutive seasons of 0.500 play or less in D1 games. Hundreds of people stopped following the program in that period and they don't come back unless "special" things occur. Add that to the world of today in which the major schools are trying to eliminate at large bids for mid majors and you find yourself with only casual interest. Baseball wise, nothing can kill interest more than teams that are weak at the plate. The last two games of the season did leave a bad taste in the mouth of some. Still, it was a winning season and I suspect most will continue support next season. Even if a few season tickets are dropped, many will still attend on a game by game basis. I trust the staff knows they have a challenge and have a plan to improve things going forward. I also trust returning players will work extra hard so as to not have the taste they have now from being here at this time next year.

Absolutely correct. I've said in the past, It's great to be happy about your program, it's Good to be mad about things being crappy, but it's truly the worst outcome when fans stop caring, and repetitive poor outcomes in any aspect without addressing it is how you build apathy and kill fanbases.

Next year is critical. Robe's playing with fire if he doesn't realize it. I'm betting Maggard does.
