UL lost on all fronts. I bet the ladies rally this weekend.

I can tell you, those 5 seniors were front and center this morning in support of Mike.

Maybe if T-Joe hadn't stripped $1 million from the athletic budget we would have had the funds to pay what Habetz wants. Of course, if that were the case maybe we could have paid Coach Lotief's assistants so they wouldn't have to leave for higher paying waitress jobs and it would never have come to this in the first place.

Ouch Hammer! This is supposed to stay on Farmer's head. Don't go correlating the salvation of Liberal Arts and "those" fine contributions to mankind... and the lost $1 million from our athletic budget.

You wouldn't understand, peanut.

OK I may have been harsh. But I've followed this program since they played in altered volleyball uniforms. I have followed cajun athletics since 1969. This seems to be the most bizarre turn of events.
Please break it down for this simpleton.
Thanks

Family 1st....This didn't just happen....somebody waffled...waiting for response....newsletter,cover up,etc

Recent history would call what you just said; "Par for the course"

I wish everyone would take a step back... take a deep breath... and realize that our softball team will make it through this. One door closes, another one opens. The outside world will embrace the suggestion of our demise. It will not become apparent to the programs we face.

To all of you defending him for being a family man, do you not think he had any responsibility to his players and this university??? did he wake up this morning and have an epiphany???? This is a joke....

I'm gonna predict now that they will make the series this year.. Something like this can bring a team closer together than ever... Actually, I think it might be part of the master plan Now they really have something to prove!!!!!...

His players were behind him 100%.

How is Mike stepping down farmers fault?

This!

[Turbine]

I agree with Mike, this about the best time for a move like what just occurred.

A week ago might have been better, but this is good timing.

If you are who you say you are, all I have to say is this. The Master Plan regardless of what the outcome of it is, has allowed UL Softball to play in one of the finest facilities in the country. I believe that it is easily a top 20 ball park and everything associated with the program has been top notch. We will be fine no matter what happens after today Yvette, Mike & yourself have built a program that can withstand such turmoil. We will be fine.

Now, for all of the hard work and dedication that your predecessor and y'all have put into the program I can easily understand why both former staffs would feel under appreciated and under paid. Farmer was wrong here, as was Mike, but this can be resolved and should be done quickly.

Jealousy between programs is like the forbidden fruit, it is poison that will destroy you from the inside. Some sports are treated with more favor and paid that way as well. It will always be that way, is it fair? No, but it is what it is.

I would think Mike has spoken to the girls and they're all on the same page. MIKE IS GOING TO COACH.... Just with a different title. That's how Im taking this whole ordeal. This team is gonna be real good, this I know. Im excited about tomorrow, this I know. and This team will show up prepared with a top knotch under paid coaching staff, this I know.
