Not arguing with your thoughts, but actually Louisiana is a shade over four.six million strong, and ranked 25th.

dfw is over 6 million in population and has 3 D1 baseball teams. Dallas Baptist; UTA & TCU........Louisiana is splitting up their 4.6 population considerably more....12 D1 baseball teams if I'm counting right.

Thanks I was thinking of employment data, which I work with daily.
Re: Wade Simoneaux Let Go
Reality is, Tech's baseball recruiting budget was about $10,000
Baseball is allowed 11.7 scholarships. Tech funded 7.3. Wade had to go raise the rest himself.
The tragedy is, whoever they hire will get more than that.
I'm telling you. Tech puts every freaking nickle they have into football and men's hoops. They don't care about the rest of the programs and haven't since they started giving all their money to travel agents for expenses in the WAC.
Yep, that move might have gotten them into CUSA. But Dykes sold out their football with JUCOs and they're going to continue to be in bad shape in CUSA. Hoops was good...but next year it will be 30 years since they've been to the NCAA tournament.
What good is it to be in that league if you can't compete.
And, they can't. Cause they're broke.

Ouch.....but very true. Left out the long term reality of recruiting the wonder that is Rustonia to 18 year olds.

Yeah but..... never mind I got nothin....
Re: Wade Simoneaux Let Go
It all begins and end with dollars. Money fixes a lot of recruiting deficiencies.
Re: Wade Simoneaux Let Go
Gosh... Jay was so succinct on each point.
I was just thinking like everyone else, "What famous baseball dad spermed a mini me to keep Tech's last name jism skism going?"

Of course you do. As well as all the things Tulane is doing. You know how we know. Because you talk about tech and Tulane at nauseam on this board
