College Baseball Polls 3/24

[Turbine]

So our SID position, like our fundraiser position remains vacant?

Hmmmm, what's the over / under on how long to hire a qualified full time replacement?

UL will be ranked #1 in the Nation before that happens. !

I bet we don't hire someone before you _____ about something on this board again...

That's a sure bet because they'll likely drag their ___ on the hire and screw something else up before then. They make it so easy.

But, if you prefer, we can always act like lemmings and let the admin slide back to mediocrity at best or even worse. I know some of you guys long for the Authement and SLC days.

I think Hammer would bi!ch about the flavor if he was eating edible underwear off of Miss America.

What a great day for UL athletics! Actually, what a great year. I can never remember a better time. Is everything perfect? No, and it never will be. Some days you just have to be happy and forget about the negative. Today is one of those days.

If it tasted like ____ or ____ I sure would.

With everything happening in athletics right now, I don't think you can just say "hey, let's hire someone."

The job stayed open after Daryl Cetnar left for about two months before someone was hired.

I'm pretty sure, in this case, Matt Sullivan will be elevated and then it will be his job to hire an assistant.

But, the position has to be advertised, etc., etc.,

This job hasn't been vacant very long. State law, in this case, makes it difficult to just snap your fingers and make a hire.

But don't let that stop you from a good rant LOL

Nothing screws up a good rant like someone bringing facts into the equation.

Right now there's ONE full time member of the Sports Information department. Two interns and one of them can't travel because of a broken leg. We were just in the NCAA tournament and the demands on the SID is incredible. We have baseball and softball to cover, along with tennis, golf, track, etc.

Yeah, we need to take time to do logos and stuff. Jeez.

I'm supposed to know the makeup of our staff and all of their health issues? Jeez is right. The expectation of performing like a Division 1 program should be a given. They are using a logo we haven't used in about 5 years. Seems like sometime during that period, things could have been updated with all of the media. Even CBS didn't use our current logo; they used the one with the Louisiana's which we got rid of last year. CBS called us Louisiana on the bracket show then reverted to Louisiana Lafayette immediately thereafter and throughout the telecast. Don't know why that happened, but we are on a national stage in basketball and baseball and are now the #1 baseball team in the country. Providing correct logos and pushing our branded athletic name seem like minimal things to do in that high exposure position if you want preferred brand recognition and they do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Oh the joys of raginpagin! We are número uno in the nation and the thread gets hijacked by the name police....

. You know me too well.

Seriously, I understand the state requirements on posting. The question is, has that posting been made so that the clock is ticking? The sooner that position gets filled by Sullivan the sooner the posting to fill the assistant's spot will get posted and (hopefully) filled to give those overworked guys some help.

Not sure why some people on this board get so upset with the ones that would like to see the correct branding of our university out there. The time to act is now why the fire is burning. Once the embers have been washed away, who the heck will care?

I don't agree with the ones that say let it rest and winning will take care of it all. Winning will help, but winning and pushing the name "Louisiana, UL, Louisiana Ragin Cajuns, etc...." down their throats will get the job done much quicker. If we go back to 3 win seasons in football, 12 win seasons in baseball, basketball and softball, who will care then or even notice what we call ourselves?

GEAUX Louisiana, GEAUX UL, GEAUX Ragin Cajuns!!!

Oh, I am extremely happy with the rankings, but try and get the branding done when we are ranked 125. It will be that much more difficult.
