Playing in Lafayette would be a good test for LSU basketball, baseball and softball. If you can win here, you can win anywhere. Most LSU coaches, however, do not want to take that chance and, therefore, miss a great opportunity to build the character of their teams before conference play. To paraphrase the SEC channel "LSU vs. UL, it just means more."
Boomer they will never play in Lafayette in any sport on a regular basis. They will never give this rivalry a chance to develop into what it can be. If they would it would give our series in softball, baseball and basketball legitimacy.
They will not ever admit to themselves that they love playing the Cajuns. It is their most exciting OOC game in every sport when we match up with them. Even in football where we are so far removed from their elite level it’s not even funny.
I’ll say it one more time, LSU coming to Lafayette on a regular basis only gives us the opportunity to change a one sided rivalry into something real. We won’t get that chance.
