We are in the dark valley, Cajuns fans.
This season is a wash. I accepted that fact. I'm hopeful next season will be better. Bad seasons will unacceptable, happen. DEGS will right the ship.Quote:

It was a few of them all on the same day.Quote:

The mid major baseball architecture has changed with the table tilted toward money, like everything else in society. Somehow Troy, Coastal, Southern Miss and even GA State seem to have it figured out so far. There is no reason we can't compete in this league as we have for a long time. This season may be the anomoly. I sure hope so.
This is why I am panicking.Quote:

We are at least competitive in most of the games I’ve seen in my 35 plus years watching the Cajuns and I don’t remember a beat down like this.
Got beat 17-0 by ULM in 2012 :)Quote:

Apparently, I tried really hard to forget that one. I will do the same with the one yesterday. :D
It was an outlier of a game as far as throwing strikes. I didnt watch enough (nor do I know enough baseball) to know if its LSU taking more pitches, or us just missing that bad.Quote:

Agreed. Usually macro structural changes happen so slowly nobody notices until much later. MLB cut the draft again and again turning development over to college baseball. COVID changed baseball rosters in 2020, then the rosters and schollies got bumped up again. NIL money came in to play. Now all the talent flows to P5 and the rich get richer.Quote:
