That is the way it is. Anyone who disagrees with this neither understands tradition, respect, nor class & will never be a champion in sports or in life.
I wasn't directly involved as I didn't have season tickets at that time, but when mentioning Yvette's departure, I don't think she particularly honored or respected the tradition she was a part of, or acted with class when leaving the school. Everything mentioned at the time intimated the opposite. I understand that there may have been issues between her and the administration that played into her departure, and take that into consideration.
I respect and honor her for all of the work she did here getting the program started and building it through her efforts into a nationally respected program. The effort she put into the program, and the involvement of the community in assisting in its growth were herculean, but in the case of her departure, sometime you reap what you sow.

Obviously some A--hole pulled a plaque honoring someone who was the most successful coach in that school's history off of a wall honoring that person's accomplishments during their tenure at the school. How childish & embasillic is that?
Then the next week after the LITTLE fracus, I personally heard Tony Robichaux say that they would probably not play LSU for a while. I didn't hear him say it was Smoke's idea along I heard him say plain & simple that they wouldn't play for a while. Furthermore, I don't care. You are a big baby & a liar. anyone can see through you like crystal. if your devotion was half as great as your hatred for some school that isn't even in your conference you'd be cutting grass at the school every day seven days a week. I have just posted facts. You can't handle that because you are too immature & childish to handle the truth. Guess what. Santa Clause aint real either.
It's people like you that cause more trouble for UL than support. _
First of all I could care less when you started supporting or how long you will support. But you should realize a couple of things.
A: That park did not belong to Yevette, yes she is the cause but not the owner. Having said that the plaque is not a plaque given to her by the university,NCAA or some softball association. It was a gift to her by a supporter, and was placed on university property without permission or request.
B: The illegally placed plaque went missing. It was not the responsibility to spend thousands or hundreds of dollars replacing it, or investigating it's loss. Again it was a plaque honoring her, and to a large extent her ego. If not, she would not have had the red A for a decade.
C: God bless her for her works here, but after her departure and her bad faith departure, she does not deserve too much homage. She mistook UL loyalty for Yevette loyalty in trying to bring a substantial UL fan base with her using a mailing list she compiled while an employee of UL. Any list she had was created while an employee of the university and for her to use it could actually be grounds for a law suit.
Frankly the less said about the lady the better.
