MBB G11 Final: Louisiana 62 Tech 83

I fully understand but one flaw, you would not put your child in the or I never want to see you again position.

No, but I would [and have] put my child in the "I will not financially support your foolishness" position. In the allegory, the child is not the coach, but the program. The coach is that ne'er do well that convinced my good child that he should just skate by on the minimum possible effort.

[ManAboutTown]

That was a good story. Would have been better if you could have worked smoking weed into it. I think the “major” marlin is in now is easy enough and he’s still not on the dean’s list. So no I’m not praising him. If a new coach is in our near future great. I won’t have to jump on the bandwagon because I never got off of it.

Geaux Cajuns 24/7 365 across the board!!! And all the enlightening y’all can push on me won’t change that, sorry guys. If I ever get tired of supporting this athletic program because it’s a frustrating lifestyle. I’ll just start fishing and playing more golf. As of now I’m all in on Cajuns and only Cajuns.

If one of my daughters puts me through your story, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

So in other words, you can't answer the question.

**You’re. Anyway...

I don’t complain at basketball games.
When you’re irrelevant, complaining feels even more futile than usual.

As long as we are correcting grammar, "allude" is not the same as "elude".

I guess I will leave the heavy lifting of regime change up to the changemakers around here. I will continue to support my university and its athletic programs.

Did that with both my kids. Told them I would give them X amount for college, regardless, except McNeese. Told them high school was over, and my money was not going to McNeese.

Heard the radio stations around Ruston are getting calls to ban "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth". Rustonians found it offensive, hit too close to home.

I told all three of mine they could go anywhere they wanted to go.... but I would only pay for it if they went to UL. I actually had one go to the evil empire of the east, but she paid her own way with scholarships and jobs.

That and the song about granny and reindeer...

So in other words, you can't answer the question.

My kid better get a scholarship because I can’t afford that school. What’s the relevance of my answer.

Haha. My girls will be Cajuns!!!

[Cajunfanatico]

No one “scolded you for being a lifelong fan”. You made some dumbass comments and posters engaged you because of them. Don’t play the victim.

And if sleeping with your wife is anything like attending Cajun basketball games, I’ll say a few prayers for you pal.

Okay, that last line made me chuckle.

[Cajunfanatico]

I’m not a victim. I feel sorry for those who can’t support half of the athletic programs at any given time because said program isn’t great every year. But I’m glad y’all arent there. I hate sitting next to the guy that verbally complains the whole game like y’all do here. Just shut up and watch the game or go bang your head on a wall. If I want to constantly surround myself with negativity, I’ll stay home and watch the news all day.

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.
