That's gotta hurt like hell. Geri Ann would've been a great coach.

Proud of our Coach. Listened to LSU coach postgame. Mutual respect with our coach and team.

Love the article, and continued major kudos to Foote for the content and the UL's and Louisiana's all over the Advocate.

You can tell Coach puts a lot of pressure on himself via his comments in that article and his demeanor during games. Take care of yourself coach, we appreciate you!

Chokes you up.

When we watch the games we really don’t know what is going on behind the scenes in Coach’s head. He gave us a picture in that interview.

Super Regional Glasco.

How cool if that nickname only lasts a week.

World Series Glasco

Well that's embarrassing. I sometimes wonder how comments on sports boards hurt the team, hurt recruiting, and hurt the university.

This identifies two things discussed on this board just today that should be in the back of a fan’s head when they come here to post derogatory, negative or inflammatory posts about our university, it’s players and it’s coaches.

What will be the benefit of such a post to your university, it’s players that have chosen to wear Louisiana across their chests and the coaches that have chosen to practice their profession with Louisiana across their chests. What will recruits and their parents think about the atmosphere they are entering or sending their children to?

On the other side, what will be the detriments which could occur from such posts. Are you compounding another bad situation which a particular player is dealing with in his or her life that you don’t know about? Are you compounding another bad situation which a particular coach is dealing with in his or her life that you don’t know about? Is it really worth it? Are you convincing a parent of a recruit or a recruit to maybe select another university whose fans are not aggressive buttholes?

Anyone who doesn’t think that what is said on a schools message board, especially anonymous message boards affects at least somewhat the perception of that school by others is naive at best.

Coach Glasco gave himself that nickname.

In his drive to succeed he declared, "I don't want be known as Regional Glasco."

No one here meant it as an insult.

Foote is the best. Great article. When is internet warriors criticize coaches we have no idea how much work they do and more importantly how bad they want it

When Coach Glasco gave himself the nickname "Regional Glasco" and declared it wasn't going to be his permanent nickname, I viewed it in the same light as he would play anyone anywhere. These are my goals. This is what I need to work on. I will not be denied.

Do you ask fans to sit on their hands at ball games too?

Doesn't matter what we meant.

What matters is what we do, and what impact does it have?

Trees are named for their fruit.

Great work Coach.

Let's Geaux.

His fruit has changed.

The new fruitage of his efforts are magnified due to the pressure he placed on himself.

You gotta love it.

When I say Glasco gave himself the nickname, I'm not talking about 'on the field of play.'

He was the first person to use or utter the former phrase.

Don't be so negative, Joe. Sophie was laughing when she said we were ruthless. It was obvious to me that she and her teammates were motivated to remove the "Regional" from Regional Glasco. They very well understand that the actual stated goal of the program EVERY YEAR is a National Championship. The "Regional Glasco" name was coined by Glasco himself while describing his and the team's goals early in his tenure here.

Glasco himself will not be satisfied until he is called "National Champion Glasco"

I for one will be glad to eat my words everytime I sell Gerry Glasco short.

For all the folks that were giving Alexa a hard time remember the three things she did well.

#1 G1 homerun in regional finals.
#2 Outstanding catch in foul grounds.
#3 With a 0-2 count, Coach Glasco asked her to get the bunt down and she did. (That a great call by the Glasco and great bunt by Alexa.)Everyone knows as a team we have struggled with the bunt.

I have been telling folks for years that players, coaches, staff, administrators, etc view the threads on this site. Most just read, but some do post. You guys would be amazed at the ones that I know that actually post on here. How many do I not know that post on here?
