Is Bob Marlin's seat even starting to warm up?

[Turbine]

We took the same players from last year, added depth and got worse.

It ain't over.

[tetragrammaton]

It ain't over.

Indeed. ONE GAME into conference play.... a WAYS to go.

tetra...whatever...

You can do it..... sound it out.... [or use that pesky "copy and paste" function.....].

Hee hee hee.

[tetragrammaton]

Is .500 basketball good enough to keep your job for a 7th year? Is it good enough for most fans? We know it is good enough for tetra...whatever... And good enough for Boomer apparently.

When you make enough post-season appearances, sure. Which he's done 3 of the last 6 years.

Technically, Marlin was 89-77 heading into this season, which puts him at .536, which is admittedly, not much higher than .500.

[ZoomZoom]

Oh... well then, we are undefeated at home, and only one loss in conference thus far. Moving on.

Uh, that's akin to calling Bruce...Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............Catlin beautiful.

Well, then, Shazbot. I guess the season's over. Pack it up.

[CrazyCajun]

It ain't over.

This team beat latech last year and got beat by a lesser latech team at half strength. We didn't build off of anything, at this point best case scenario we started over. That's how you have a special season...you return everyone from a good team, build on the season before and turn the next one into something special. We always start over...never build off previous seasons

Do you call what VObserver writes on here as ad hominem attacks? And to say that he cannot debate is pure nonsense. Your post screams of misplaced hypocrisy. You attack and lump in a group of tailgaters with nothing but ad hominem attacks... that in all actuality... quite a number of those members that post on here constantly provide data and information to support their arguments.

If this was spawned by an unhappiness over our basketball program, please take a second and refrain from your irrational fallaciousness and provide facts that support this being a good basketball season. I'll wait while you make your list.

-0---Well there is no LIST---why??? Because I NEVER said it was a good basketball season-----PLease go check my posts---You are always commenting on my posts and attributing to me things that were never written----Now I also mentioned that I thought it wrong to give up on this team and that I would not and back them (BTW not to you)----But when do the falsehoods of my words stop??? Can you show me the quote where I mentioned it being a good season--of course not----I will accept your apology for your error!!! It is Christmas Time---You try and be Merry!!! Oh and VOB and I debate on Sunday over breakfast and you are welcome to come and observe his Ad Hominems----VOB Saw your lovely wife at the office and the family photos are great!!!---Love you guys!!!

We love you too, Boomer.... your living in LaLa land and all that goes with it. I hope Santa Harris drops a million in your stocking. Not likely, but you, TJoe and Farmer seem to love him so I thought Id humor you.

We are only a few seasons away from being back in a conference with McNeese, Lamar and NWST! I know you are excited.

Merry Christmas,

The Eauxers

No, I agree with you, we should have showed up better against Pepperdine. Pure and simple. But one game does not a season make.



Let's review for the class, shall we?

A simple perusing of the Basketball team's Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisi...all#Postseason) will demonstrate the facts I supplied regarding our post-season play.

Those of us who are enterprising enough can even (gasp!) click on the links provided therein to look at our past records in terms of where we are in the season this year versus past years.

If you have been going to the games, you have seen the inconsistencies I mentioned, which, even when compared with simple stats, can tell a different story. The bounce (or lack thereof) in a player's step... their ability to handle the ball well on one night versus clumsily the next.... etc.

As someone who has referred to this era as "The worst period of Cajuns basketball in our history, including the Death Penalty" (https://forumeus.com/...t=manabouttown), and who makes blanket statements like "Our program has fallen.... etc.," I fear it is you who are short on facts.

And so you rely on statements such as "I can also tell that you probably have never competed in an organized sport, nor do you have a competitive bone in your body." Once I read this, I could easily ascertain that you are perfectly content to simply lob some clearly unfounded insult at a person with an opinion because, once again, ad hominem attacks are pretty much the way to go. I guess we simply have to assume that you were a Heisman trophy winner because you got a RaginPagin account and learned how to type, eh?

You're giving Marlin credit for pay-to-play tournaments? Of course you are.
I don't need to provide facts to make an obvious observation. The team is underachieving. Maybe not to you and Boomer (big shocker), but to those of us that watch and attend, pretty easy to see.

You want facts? Look at Marlin's D1 coaching record. There are no others stats or facts or whatever the hell excuse you want to post here that matter. I've supported the man, but no longer. We're in a rut as a program. Six years of excuses.

Btw, nice attempt at smartassness. Linking to comments I made years ago actually reinforce where the program truly is. So thanks.

----Ah my friend----Welcome to the land of AD HOMINEMs---I guess I was one of the first to experience and identify its fallaciousness---I call them in fun writings the Eauxers---I tried to identify them as a group of hyper intensified fans who have arrived at a consensus to hate Dr A, Blanco, T-Joe, Farmer, Marlin, Nixon, Johnson, Buckley, etc----If you take any rational to a subject you are criticized as a friend of the above or any personal Ad Hs----Great guys, but not good debaters and as you mentioned about facts, forget it----- and yes they have changed their opinions as the world turns---But I do love them and wish us all a great Holiday season with ALL SUPPORTING THE CAJUNS!!! IN 2016 we will reach ALL OUR DREAMS---AND NOW I AWAIT NEGATIVES!!! LOL

Boomer... ah Boomer.
I will refrain from posting what I'm thinking this time. But just know, it isn't good.

I'd debate this clown under the table. Today, I'm hungover and short on time. I'll come back and post the "facts" for your buddy later. And just know, those aren't good either.

Merry Christmas
