Disappointing Finishes. Farmers legacy at Troy sucks prairie wind. No men and last in women's. Cajun performances on the track were Missing in action. Outstanding distance crew ran high school times. Farmer seemingly is duplicating the demise of the program at Troy.

Relax. It's indoor. Lets revisit this in 2-3 months.

Relax. It's indoor. Lets revisit this in 2-3 months.

Note my comparison to Troy, whose coach this AD hired. You say relax? OK . Last in women's and NO MENS. It was not that way when he arrived there.

History is a predictor of the future, so hide and watch, All of you twenty-two Cajun track fans.

I attended the big 12 SNOW blizzard indoor last week with my family and when comparing our men and women to their worst teams, and we are dead dog last on both counts. Then sent my family back to New Orleans while I flew to Memphis/Jonesboro and watched the last day of the Sun Belt. Was embarrassed for the lack of Cajun numbers in the finals. Was embarrassed as well that any bona fide conference would have run ANY championship at that place. We are in a bush league conference with no one making headway on leaving it.

Will the last one out, please turn off the lights.

Yep. This team did better outdoor last year. Men were 4th at Indoor Championships and finished 2nd at Outdoor in May.

Yep, they did ...with inherited throws people. When they leave after this year, there will be a drought of significant proportions. Most Recent hire is not a recruiter. Will fall back further. Hide and watch!

Those grapes sour, Dog?

Give him a couple recruiting classes, then we can judge.
