MBB G11 Final: Louisiana 62 Tech 83

[Cajunfanatico]

I will continue to support my university and its athletic programs.

One can push for regime change while still supporting his university, of course.

That's the problem with trying to have a conversation with you Jacob, you either are being intentionally obtuse, or you just don't grasp what the complaint is.

For someone on the outside looking in, someone who knows nothing about the circumstances, this past football season looks like hot garbage, right? But we all know we're looking at a first year head coach who took over a wrecked locker room yada yada yada. We Cajun fans see the progress and know that we over-achieved this year. Do we expect better next year? Damn right we do, but the determination of how well we actually did will be based on how Napier recruits, how the games play out, injuries, etc. We don't expect regression, and if there is, we'll be concerned. But in only his second year, the man will be given a lot of leeway. Year 3 will be really important. By year 3 we should have a team with plenty of players selected by Napier and trained by Napier to perform within his system. While we can't control what other schools in the conference are doing, we expect him to compete at the highest level within the conference because he and his staff are being paid at or near the highest level of the conference.

Baseball has down years and no fan likes that but Robe has proven he's can compete at high levels in his field. Someone here listed his accomplishments and they're impressive, especially considering for how many years he's been at it and how little support the overall athletic programs got in those early years.

Where I'm going with this is really simple. As it relates to basketball, many of us feel it's time for Bob Marlin to either ____ or get off the pot. He's had enough time to compete at the highest levels within a mediocre SunBelt and he's not doing it year in and year out. That's not good enough for most of us. We're still fans, but we want to be heard by Maggard. The best way to do that is to vote with the pocket book.

Not arguing with any of your points. Not telling anyone how to be a fan or what to do with their money or their voice. I don’t mind sitting alone in a stadium or arena, and when winning starts and it gets crowded I don’t tell all my fellow Cajun fans that are fair weathered or bandwagon jumpers they aren’t welcome.

I choose to support the Cajuns always, I’ll be damned if someone’s going to tell me on a message board that I’m the problem.

When Obama was president I wasn’t happy about it, but I still loved my country, supported our leader, and stood up removed my hat covered my heart and respected this great nation.

Not much different than my stance with the Cajuns.

PS I also paid my taxes.😂😂😂

I, for one, have not said you're the problem. I just want to defend those who have made the decision to stop supporting crappy basketball by spending their hard-earned dollars on a sub-quality product. They're just as supportive as you of Cajun athletics, they just don't want to see continued damage.

Ground can always be regained. Time lost, is lost forever. And we don't have a lot of time as a program to set ourselves apart from everyone else.

All good sir. You don’t have to defend anyone’s actions to me. To each his own. I don’t show up at games and get upset because 1,500 people are there. I do have situational awareness, I know why there are only 1,500 people there. I just say well this crowd sucks, let’s watch some basketball.
At least some of you stay home because the state of the program and not concession prices and parking and weather.

No one has a right to tell anyone what they do with their time or money. If people have better things to do than go to basketball games, I hope they enjoy it and I won't spend one second telling them they should go to the Dome. Those of us who go regardless of the coach understand why others may feel differently. At the same time, I ask those people to please respect our decision to continue to attend and there are a variety of reasons we do so. Some attending can voice their concerns in others ways such as reduced donations. If things get bad enough, there are enough people who will drop out to get the attention of the administration. It happened in football and I was at every game.

There are some who stay home because of concession prices. Administration has said their hands are tied in that regard due to the Dome contract. More effort needs to be put into looking into that situation. Fortunately they were wise enough to stop the parking concern after one game.

I’m with you mike. Always stay til the final horn too. It gets hard sometimes. But when times are good, they’re real good.

We got that depressed equity. Haha

Since I started college 10 years ago I've gone to at least 10+ games a year .... This year I refuse to go to a game because of the OC home schedule and constant excuses by staff

Others should do the same if they are not happy with the product it's the only way to force a change.

So after 27 wins and I’m assuming our highest rpi in a decade you decided you were done? Or did you see the schedule and decide that? I got no problem with your decision just wondering why after last year instead of any other.

I would suspect this part had something to do with it: "This year I refuse to go to a game because of the OC home schedule and constant excuses by staff."

Gee thanks didn’t read that part.🙄 They make excuses and have a terrible schedule every year. Just asking why this year. Those reasons aren’t new.

May not be new, but for some eventually become intolerable. Looks like for Lanny, that time has come.
