You people do realize that Robe won’t be here forever right ? I know when that day comes there will be some folks on here lining up on top of the Chase Tower downtown waiting for their turn to jump. News flash, the next guy won’t be here 25 plus years either so get ready. This is a stepping stone mid-major baseball program. Robe has been an anomaly. A unicorn. This doesn’t happen often in college athletics. Get ready to move forward sooner than later. This cannot continue much longer. Maggard could give two _____ts about the past 25 years. He’s here to build a successful athletic program. This is not about making friends.
Shouldn’t be much pressure on the team today. Probably about 50-75 people in the grandstand
Football or basketball with this current set-up will never be ranked #1 or really even top 10. Baseball is a different sport with the way the college land scape is set-up.
And sadly, this # 1 ranked team did not even win their home super regional! What matters is where you are ranked when the season is over! And by the way, I was very happy with the season and I never expected the team to win the CWS! Team did not have enough pitching.
Hell, I’ll take being an other and just sniffing the top 25 in those other sports. Point is a number 1 ranking is impressive and shows what we are capable of. I haven’t seen that too often in UL athletic history. This coaching staff is a victim of its own success. The bar is set high and logistically as a mid major there is a fine line to remain at the level we expect. This season has been a disappointment but I don’t think rooting for a total overhaul/reset of this program is very smart.
Who put Deggs in that position? Who has consistently put together pitching staffs that keep us at a pretty high level year to year? This is my opinion but good pitching is harder to find at the college level and the best way for consistent success as a mid-major starts with pitching not offense. Am I wrong?
As a mid-major in the sun belt I don’t see us ever on a year to year basis having the hitting recruits to maintain offenses that are on the elite levels like a high level SEC, Big 12, Pac12 school. Yes we will have those seasons where it all comes together on offense but I think to maintain consistent success it all starts on the mound which is where our head coach excels. If I’m wrong I’d love to hear an argument.
