Yvette Girouard Field Named for Architect of Lady Cajuns Softball

[CajunEXPRESS]

Worked her tail off. Went to the WCWS 3 times. Probably made about $60k. Probably wanted to stay but got no support from the administration. Went across the swamp and got paid a lot better to repeat the formula. Same thing any of us would do if our employer wouldn’t open thier wallet.

I wouldn’t be in favor of this cult like thing for anyone. Reminds me of totalitarian edifices.

We really need to ignore this fellow. JMO

I wonder how LSU feels about this.

They have their own “O”

Well deserved and long overdue. The foundation of Ragin Cajun Softball is Yvette.

Looks like it was done cheap and quick. Doesn’t look like something maggard would do

Ray Authement continued to thumb his nose at her, and as a result, she definitely acted in a way to turn Cajuns fans off from her on her way out the door.

But this goes back to a university President who actively stood in the way of private fundraising for athletics. Our coaches put up with his hated of athletics for way to long. Coach Yvette had an opportunity to stay close to home and move to a school where she knew the leadership would actually support her quest to win a World Series, rather than tie her hands and club her in the knee at every turn.

....At her H of F induction she mentioned how this (UL) was home and what a great coach we have now.......first time she Lafayettes, ULLs, or red teams us...the name comes off at least in its promlnence signage!

I hear all men rooms st the park will carry the title Flush Lotief at Lamson Park...or maybe it's Lotief Flush at Lamson...

That was the original plan but then Lotief filed a Title IX complaint. So now both bathrooms are named after him.

I really can’t help thinking that part of this was just to give a big FU to Mike Lotief.

I’m sorry but when you walk out the way she did. When you act the way she did. We are not going to play the Red Team. Sorry I don’t have the same appreciation for her that most of you seem to have.

I’m waiting to hear “I appreciate this honor from Ull at Lafayette. Read Team gave me my start that ultimately led to my dream job “

Nope I’m not on board
