Doubt it ... one of Maggard's few ____ ups extending an coach no one else wanted

I miss the old Cajun Chicken, hell I miss the Pepper.

Can we get a mascot?

Band was at every game prior to this one.

I said wait because y’all are wasting bullets. It ain’t happening this year. MAYBE if he goes something like, winless in conference; but that won’t happen.

Maggard is in dangerous territory right now. Our basketball program is on life support and the fanbase is receiving hospice care. I’ve never seen apathy like this.

The epicenter of CDS and ppl b(I)tching just to b(l)tch, not a single soul cared enough to create a MBB thread and follow the game. I bet 80% of you didn’t even know we were playing tonight. Sad night in Cajun land. That’s next level not giving a flyin fock.

But I can see Marlin really p(i)ssed y’all off tonight!

No band at the McNeese St. game. Guess I just pick the wrong games to attend. They used to have an alumni band fill in, do they still do that? Always thought that was a good idea.

Basketball is always a bit of an afterthought until the new year, but we are playing some uninspiring b ball.

Hope they get it together. Not too many Detroit Mercy's on the schedule.

Tell your wife answer is simple. Not enough talent on the court right now. Would there have been enough to win with a healthy roster tonight? We will never know.

It’s not the injuries, Mike. We were getting smoked before the injuries. We lack effort on defense. We look lost AGAIN offensively unless Cedric is making shots from the parking lot. The injuries are a convenient excuse at this point. Even with injuries, there’s no excuse to lose to LR at home, when you’re up by 13 in the second half.

We have got to stop letting this crap continue. We are losing the fanbase in droves. No one even cared enough to start a game thread. Have you ever seen that before? I haven’t.

I use the great UL Sports on TV calendar (thanks to the awesome guy that created that), and I watched the whole game.

What about the other 9 years of the decade? 1 1st place regular season finish. 0 2nd place finishes. In 10 years. What’s the realistic expectation?

I know that use to happen, can't tell you the last time it did. I can’t remember it ever happening in the dome.

Unless some booster is ready to drop a mil to buyout the contract. Hes not going anywhere.

Its happened in the Dome. I distinctly remember NoCajun making the trip several times.

Not lately, these things require an involved organizer.

Well considering Blackham was well before my existence it definitely was in the Cajundome during the Evans years and after.

Baw, you best get out of my spot! Find somewhere else to fish.

Here’s a possible conflict.....

Right now, majority of fans are cashed out of the program mainly due to overall average results or our current predicament. But I’ll play the game and say that we hypothetically win next season because we have a fully healthy team (even though, in my opinion, I still thought we were a .500 team this season before the injuries occurred).

If that were to happen, would the fans come back at that point? Or are we at the point of no return? I was told that we might’ve had an ACTUAL attendance of 1500-2000 people last night. That’s a sign of no interest. So, I don’t know what the answer is. All I know is, like MAT said, we are in dangerous territory right now if we are planning for the future.

We are way past the point of no return. People are done with Marlin. Actual attendance was closer to 1,000 last night.

I cant speak for anyone else, but idefinitely will not buy season tickets again as long as Big Fish is the coach.

We had a 95% to win last night and we blew it lol

I’ve gotten past the point of being upset at results and now I’m just apathetic

Leaving last night no one was upset. I brought someone who has not been to a basketball game in ages. He didnt say anything until we got back to the car. He then said "I've been trying to figure out how you lose that game after being up 14 in the second half and the only thing I can come up with is Does not compute."

FWIW Warren Nolan now has us projected to be 2-18 in conference,with a projected RPI of 316.

Our current #s

RPI 284
NET 252
SOS 264

Thanks Bob.

Regardless of injuries, if we were to finish with an RPI of 316, that’s downright trash.

Losing doesn’t kill your program.
Indifference does.

We are in big trouble. I hope Maggard understand this.
