If you dont understand i will post again. _

I don't understand. did you go to college? do you support that school? Do you even like sports? For one that isn't a fan of any school, it makes me curious why you're such an anti-fan/anti-supporter of UL.

How about you let me know what it will take to put you in a set of season tickets for UL football this season.

RPI still at ~17 according to Boyd's World. I figured all along that we'd probably not host, but would hopefully be one of the top #2's at a regional nearby. That being said, picking up one or two this weekend would have been great, but i think that our boys probably still learned a lot about the game and themselves this weekend. Its not like i think that Buddy and Hunter are the Top 1/2 punch in the nation, but those two are good, and ASU did to them what they've done to everyone this season. Its safe to say that ASU will bang their way pretty deep into the postseason this year.

The real Adjusted RPI is 21. The Base RPI is 23.

guess I looked at it wrong. Nonetheless, one would think that SHOULD still get us a solid #2 seeding.

As long as we don't fall apart down the stretch.

We have been hitting the ball very poorly as of late and our pitching hasn't been that great either. We still have to go on the road to UNO and ULM in conference, and you know our poor track record in the conference tournament.

I think the game Tuesday against Lamar will be a real test of character and will let us know if this team has what it takes to make a run in the post season.

My crackpot analysis showed that although the Cajuns were outscored 28-16 over the weekend, they were only out hit 34-31. Timely hitting and a pitch here or there to avoid further damage in an inning could have changed this past weekend significantly. The first hand experience of championship caliber college baseball will hopefully prepare us to execute better in game changing situations.

Agreed. I think we need series like this every year, even if it means going on the road.


One stat that I find very disturbing is that in our last 8 games and we have 77 strikeouts. That's 9.6 per game. Our assistant coach, who is supposed to be a hitting guru, needs to go back to the drawing board to get us back on track.

You were not looking at it wrong. You were just looking at Boyd's numbers.

If the season ended today, the Cajuns would be a #2 seed. But not a strong #2 seed. The Cajuns are going to get dinged in the Top25/Top50 RPI department.

It was just aggravating this whole weekend, because everytime you would hear jay say "oh wow were did that pitch miss", the very next pitch was for a RBI base hit. I wonder how many runs they scored, on what should have been called third strikes (in jay's opinion)?

You're right. That was frustrating. But as bad as the umpiring was behind the plate, the umps weren't striking out for us when we had runners in scoring position.


We need to put this weekend behind us and re-focus for the stretch run.

It's very rare that I call someone out like this, but you people need to realize something about why Mineshaft will never answer that question honestly....

He is either:
1.) a fan of that school whose name shall not be mentioned. If he admits to that, then all our criticisms of him are immediately validated
2.) a fan of some other school. If he admits to this, our criticism is validated, though not with as much fervor as in #1.
3.) He truly is a fan of no school as he says. Now, if he admits that this is indeed the case and stands by it, then in accord with his answer in this thread, he would be telling the truth. However, this option is almost worse than #1 and #2. I say that because in #1 and #2, there is some semblance of a reason for his unfettered hatred. Howver, in option #3, it is COMPLETELY unreasonable and he is re-classified from "somewhat" insane to "completely and clinically" insane.

4.) I wonder how much denial he is in right now, and/or how much he is squirming in his pants.

Peace and God Bless

If you dont understand i will post again. _

Posting again will not make me understand why you monitor this forum only to fire off simple-minded, antagonistic one-liners. It is bizzare even if you would have admitted to a fanship with some other school. Now, it is totally absurd. I do pity you if it makes you feel any better.
