    Did anyone notice how, during the part where the players introduce themselves and their school, Caleb said "Louisiana Lafayette."

    Whenever I see players from Miami, they call themselves "The U." and nobody stops them... So presumably players are given a lot of latitude by ESPN to say what they want.

    Does our Sports Information Director not prep our players to say "Louisiana"? or "UL"? or at least "Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns"??

    Seemed like a blown lay-up. I'm not blaming Caleb - I blame our SID or whoever is doing media relations.
    Why is it the SID's fault? If a kid...on campus...playing an NCAA sport and representing the University...doesn't know the name of his school by now, what will prompting from the SID do? He's not 12 years old.

    By the way...all he needed to do was look down at the front of his jersey.

    Was in Florida, watched most of the derby, did not see Adams hit so I do not know if he had had either his hitting coach or BP coach pitching to him, if it would have made a difference? Babineaux and Deggs were out on recruiting trips and could not go throw for Adams. One awesome thing is we had TWO players infront a very large crowd in Omaha getting a taste of the CWS. 2014 lets get there and make some noise Cajuns and Lady Cajuns!!!
