BB G3: Louisiana @ Sam Houston State

Today should of been our first loss. It s u c k s the way the season has started. I’m as ____ed as the next guys believe me. This is a better team than last year. I don’t like the way the season has started. But it’s time to get it together. Every team we have played so far either will be a regional team or will be in the running for a bid. Every team will go thru a tough stretch and I can’t believe it will be this way all year. The bar is high and this isn’t acceptable but we will figure it out.

Who on here is saying they hope the team loses??

I could say Fans like you are the bigger problem. Finding each and every excuse for the team losing.
I guess the team could be 15-30 and fans would still think they would make a regional! I am a realistic fan not a homer or sunshine pumper fan!

People love to say the whole thing went out the window when Deggs left but that 2015 team is hard to ignore. They lost about everything you could lose and still made a Super. The 2016 team missed a Super by 1 game to the World Series runner up. There’s a standard with UL baseball, and the only reason it is as high as it is is because of Robe. I think he would be the first to admit that he gets no lifetime pass and has to live up to that standard. Like i said earlier my best guess would be he has this year and most likely a couple more to right the ship.

From one baseball supporter both $$$ and emotionally, I will not support this product. But I agree with your overall post. I support Robe and the team but things have to change

Problem is, it seems the fans that are still in the wanting to believe are the one crowd likely have some type of relationship with the coach which I guess is understandable.

I think every fan in existence wants to believe their team will win. What’s funny is if this team somehow does make a regional this year you will probably disappear until the next time the program is in a down period. You accuse us of it being personal with Robe but it sounds like you have a personal problem with the man.

Geaux Cajuns! No I will not. I will be the first here to eat crow. So if they do not make a regional will you disappear??

And NO I do not even know the man. He did a lot for the program but there comes a time when things need to maybe change. I mean if this team does not make a regional for 3 years in row something needs to change.

No I have been here for a few years in good and bad seasons. I will still be here interacting with fans and trolls like yourself.

LOL, I knew the attacks would start! It was only a matter of time! That is when desperation as a fan sets in!

There are dozens of posters here that I disagree with and have had discussions with where we discuss our disagreement and I never referred to them as a troll. But sure, because you don’t think like me, you are a troll.

Show me one time where I said I expect anything to “turn around”. You can’t, because I didn’t.

Maybe the LARGE group of folks, here and elsewhere, appreciate Robe because of the things he’s accomplished. The atmosphere, the fanbase, the support, the success, the national attention... I could go on.

Maybe some of us have been invested for a really long time, and maybe some of you got here 4 years ago.

First tell me where your user name came from??

It was just a generic name I came up with.

In this site’s mobile version, your name reads “fumbleLGrad”>DuckmfumbleLGrad”

I didn’t know your real username until I went on my laptop. That’s why I was confused for a second.

So you must think the team will make a regional. Maybe I should just do like you and think positive as this will lead to wins right? I guess the reason the team got swept this weekend was because I figured they would or well lose 2 of the 3. Wow, some of you on here are really unbelievable.

You’re not a Cajun fan

No I am a REALISTIC alumni and fan.

By the way, I think they will beat SE Lions in the mid-week game and take 2 of 3 from the Terps over the weekend.

I will predict a win in every game moving forward now. This is the only way according to some on here of being a real Cajun fan. LOL

It's still February...on average the Cajuns are in a Regional every 3 year. In fact I'm not sure Tony has ever gone over the 3 year mark. I'm not counting him, or this team, out.
