31st Annual Louisiana Classics

Tough weekend, lets bounce back next weekend, it is important.

I hope so. Alabama is not a team you bounce back against though. There are many glaring weaknesses thus far. It's week 1, but concerning nonetheless.

Question--can anyone tell me WHY we were the "away" team BOTH games on OUR home field??
Does Mike do this on purpose??
I would HOPE that we can have the "advantage" of being the home team next week vs Alabama!!

Mike has always preferred it that way. Jump on a team early.

I don't care what sport, I freakin hate losing to USM

----South Ala, S Miss, Tulane, Rice, Houston, Tech, and Memphis!!!--Probably throw in SMU, N Tex, Tulsa, Ark St---If we can consistently beat these guys in all sports---we are there at the top of G-5--well at least geographically!!!

Evidently we love playing down to our competition

They also won the first game on two home runs. If not for the long ball the cajuns win.

Batting order is wrong. We may lucky to host regional. Loud home field next weekend could mean everything to the season.

Performance at the plate this weekend is very concerning. Lots of work to be done or next weekend will not be pretty.

Well....we have a pretty damn good skipper at the helm.....I'll rely on that guy to get these youngsters right...

...but our pitching has kept us from reaching the elite next level.

The elite programs use to have one elite pitcher, now they tend to have 2 to 3. I'm afraid that trend caught up to us on the short end. We don't have the bats this year to make up for what Bankruptcyman has pointed out has been our Achilles' heel.
