ANYONE WANNA TALK BASEBALL?? _

YES!!!! I've been dyin to get down to baseball season. What does our middle infield look like, we had some problems fielding there last year. I would assume Catching is gonna be primarily thad griffen, the corners would be Hicks and Harst, and the outfield would be Goulas, hatfield and an open spot. That would leave us filling an outfield, a shortstop and a 2nd baseman spot on the team. Who would we get to fill those spots? I know that Will Long is serviceable defensively, but bad with the stick, with Pourrier and Fontenot being servicable with the stick and bad with the glove. Any possible newcomers stepping up quickly?

_ well it just seems that these 2 coaches (mens and womens bball) cannot do the job!!! I see a problem that both are black--this would mean that the last 3 coaches fired were black if Lee and Rogers are let go!!!! Obviously this is not a racial deal in our way of thinking but after the law suit --who knows??? How do we get into these jams and what is our way out???? btw ---was the track coach fired???-think he just left!!! _

UL has probably hired as many, if not more, black head coaches than any college in the country and none have worked out. This is a touchy subject, because the race card always enters these discussions and in the case of Baldwin, turned into a lawsuit. I'm afraid, however, the writing is on the wall for Lee and Rogers, expecially Lee who has had ample time to build this more high profile program and instead has flushed it down the toilet. At this point, IMO, it is not a question of should we replace them, but how quickly should we do it. We can't afford to let UL basketball drop any lower. After this road trip, watch what our next home game attendance is. We are losing money at the gate and apathy is setting in among us fans. This is Baldwin revisited. Have we finally learned our mistakes in selecting head coaches? It is not the color I am referring to, but understanding what kind of system a coach runs, how he recruits, how he handles PR, how he represents the university. The images of Baldwin and Lee as head coaches in those areas are not what I want representing my university.
