What a response from this team after the Troy series
Nice! It would have been nice to clinch an outright championship a week to go, but it’ll be great to dogpile at home.
That is awesome stuff. Quick ask for Brian? : If we sweep South Alabama and run the table in the conference tournament will our RPI get into the 20s? Would that get us into the conversation to host.Quote:

I don’t think anything that happens from here out will change that (assuming we win one-or S. Miss loses one- more game).
Aggies have cooled off significantly over the last couple weeks. They’re still VERY good, but have looked much more beatable over their last 5-6 games.
Stay healthy and show up ready to compete. You never know what can happen
It can but would depend on the teams around/ahead of the Cajuns performances also. If we run the table and end up 45-15 with a reg season title and a tourney title I would not rule out hosting with a low 20’s rpi. There are currently 8 teams ahead of us in the rpi that don’t even have winning records in their own conference.Quote:

Can you imagine 6,033 plus SRO crammed into the Tigue for a regional? That place will come unglued. It may not happen this June, but it will happen.
Someone come in with the facts to quash this foolishness!
While we’re at it, which 4 wins that we COULD have won would put us in contention to host?
Congrats to the team. They have put together a great season! 3 years in a row in a regional is what we all hoped/ expected when Deggs got this gig
Any 4. But Houston Christian, Houston, rice, and Tulane Friday games all hurt.Quote:

They can and do because they don’t like him. He is a different guy and gives zero f’s, which I think is needed. We cannot do it the same way as the big boys, we have to compete differently. Players coming in should not be surprised by his demands.Quote:

I am very pleased with this season as I really don’t see this as a ‘40 win talented’ team, but they are definitely a ‘40 win gutsy’ team, and that is a direct reflection of Coach Deggs.
Cajuns 12th in the country in runs allowed and 3rd in hits allowed.
What are they in pinch hit bombs in one inning? Don't know if they keep stats on that but dang I've never seen that.Quote:

Yes, after last week's criticism they deserve credit for the sweep this weekend. Outstanding work on the mound by LP, Morgan and Fluno.Quote:

At the moment, the Cajuns would be a #3 seed (along with USM). Forget what you see in the various bracket predictions. But they can get to a 2 with a solid finish.

All of the home losses hurt equally. As did all of the road losses. As did all of the neutral losses.Quote:

Considering that all our pitching staff could be hurt by season end, it is hard to project that Louisiana will be a seed at all . . . Such a projection might be dumb. I’m very concerned about the number of pitches our three starters (LV included) threw this weekend and see Lege and Deggs utilizing that same format this coming weekend and for the conference tournament. Keep all our pitchers in your prayers, because they will surely need it.Quote:
