Is Dillon Guillory hurt........

_ Both of these schools also carry 13 scholarship sports where we only have 11. Yes we have football but our scholarship differences are not that great. They also have higher tuition than we do so our budget is very similar when you take those factors into account. _

Dude before you have any more diarrhea of the mouth , do a little research before you talk. If we didn't fund football scholarships, 25 per year, we could fund 5 other minor sports. By not funding football, CSF and LBSU, can fund many more minor sports.

Comparing UL to CSF and LBSU is like comparing men to women, nothing remotely similar. CSF and LBSU total scholarships funded for all 13 sports is probably less or at best equal to the amount we fund just for football. You have no clue. Quit guessing and do a little research.

GEAUX UL!

And when we miss the conference tourny that we are hosting you guys can go and chalk it up to youth just like in football. Give Robicheaux credit for his team making a good run and hopefully next year we can improve.

I want this program to be an elite program instead of a slightly above average program which we are currently at. I do feel like we choked last year against A&M, I felt like we were as good last year as the CWS team of 2000. I also think we suck this year. We can not hit or play defense. ULM beat the daylights out of us and we just roll over and say well they are one heck of a team, and that maybe, but I think it is because we are slipping and not as good as we used to be.

We hold Bustle to an unrealistic standard yet we let Tony get a free pass for failure, and yes losing 20-25 games is failure. Nice double standard you guys have.

Cajun4Life,

I agree we did choke in the aTm regional, I was there, I was miserable and ticked off. However, you need to look before you talk. By your standards of losing 20-25 games as a failure, of Tonys 14 years only 3 of those years you would consider a non failure.

95 21-24 failure
96 25-33 failure
97 43-18 SBC Champs, Midwest Regional
98 39-22 SBC Tourney Champs, South II Regional, FAILURE?
99 42-22 Houston Reg Champ, Rice SuperRegional, FAILURE?
00 49-20 Laf Reg Champ, South Carolina SR Champ, 3rd CWS, FAILURE?
01 28-28 failure
02 39-23 LSU Regional, FAILURE?
03 30-30 failure
04 34-23 failure
05 48-19 SBC Champs, Tulane Regional
06 39-20 failure
07 45-17 SBC Champs, aTm Regional

Tony has done a great job here. Yes he has had some dissappointing years, 01 and 08 comes to mind. But losing in the Regional finals is not a failure, its just one day you were not your best, that happens.

GEAUX UL!

I never said that Tony has not done a great job here. All I am saying is that we do not hold him to the standard that HE HIMSELF has set here.

As far as seasons being a failure:
'95
'96
'97-choked
'01
'03
'04
'06
and '08

That is 8 years were we have not performed up to the standards that he has set or the previous coach for that matter. '97 being the exception, I do not veiw that season as a failure per say but we should have made it past the regionals. Since 2001 I feel like we have failed or not met reasonable expectations.

Tony's Record 726-451 (61%) Competes for national title
Bustle's Record 26-44 (37%) Can't compete for sunbelt title

Just shut up man.

What is your reasonable expectations, Super Regionals? That is not reasonable.

Reasonable expectation is Regional appearance 3 out of 4/5 years, with a fighting chance to advance to a Super Regional. It takes a special season even for the top teams to reach the CWS.

Since 2001 we have had 3 regionals in 6 years. That is pretty damn close to reasonable expectations. Hell LSU has trouble making back to back regionals lately. I think your "reasonable expectations" are a little unreasonable.

To expand on his numbers:

Tony as Cajun Coach:
499-316 61%
239-130 in Conference 65%

Tony is a proven consistent winner. Cajun4Life please find another tree to bark up.

Our prior coach was Mike Boulanger.....who scheduled baseball camps the same weekend as the CWS. Yeah right this guy had some pretty high standards!

Not to mention leaving town in the middle of the night and getting black balled by the NCAA.

Simple amazing how we can't appreciate what we have in Cajun baseball.

I do appreciate the programs that we have that succeed, but I do not settle for mediocracy when I know as well as everyone on this board knows we should be better. I am just willing to criticize the sacred cow(baseball) and you guys are not.

Boulanger won just as Tony has won. Tony has had more success in the post season. I am not calling for Robe's head here, but I will still hold him to a standard in which we should be in regionals 4 out of 5 years and supers often enough to be mentioned with the big time programs. We are not a bigtime program like Tulane and Rice.

You guys seem to be happy with a good record one year and a so so record the next. I am not. Kids leave a program every year all over the country yet the great programs always reload and we are not a great program. Baseball is our only mens sport that has a realistic chance at winning a National Title and i want us to be as good as we can be.

Last years team was a great team who could not find a way to win on Sunday and lost 2 in a row to A&M. We were the better team IMO. We lost last night to NSU because we are underperforming and that is the Coach's fault.

Look the CWS was great, but 3 regionals on 8 years (including this year) ain't getting it done. He set the standard from 97-00. We expect success. The program's consistency is the problem. No single year - when we lose in a regional should be the demise of the program or coach.

Consistent good years, with ocassional exceptional years, are what we should expect from the program. That is not an unrealistic expectation.

Including this year, Tony has 7 Regionals in 14 years. Thats pretty damn good. How many other programs from Mid Major conferences can say that? Hell how many programs outside the Top 10-15 can say that?

At least someone else gets what I am trying to say on this forum. From 97-00 our teams were really good and it showed, but with the exception of last years team we have not lived up to expectations.
