Very sad news indeed. Thank you Coach for all you have done. You left this Earth much too young. RIP and God Bless your family.

Geesey-Ferguson Funeral Home in Crowley is in charge of arrangements.

That might be appropriate. Signifying the place where he did the majority of his life lessons. I’m in for some $$$$s if needed

It needs to be Moore-Robichaux field by the start of next seaon ...

Maybe the Tony Robichaux UL baseball complex

Is there a Robicheaux, Louisiana? If not might be a neat idea to turn the Tigue into the city limits of Robichaux. Put city limits signs up where you walk into the stadium.

That would be cool.

OT: incorporate the athletic department into the city of Louisiana. Thus, the University of Louisiana at Louisiana.

With the legal issues of the Russos, it makes too much sense to change the name to Robichaux Park. I hated the idea of naming the it Russo Park from the beginning because in my mind it should have been saved for Tony Robichaux. There is no UL baseball without Tony Robichaux

This should be for a different thread...but you do NOT pull the naming rights from someone who’s committed serious coin UNLESS legal issues are finalized or they reneg on payments...

Plenty of time later for naming stuff. People are still numb and crying

At the minimum there needs to be a #36 jersey on the wall in CF before next season

Very much agree. Way too premature, but I understand it may be some people's way of dealing with the loss in their own way.

Everyone has an idea as to honor Coach.

Rest assured, the administration will do right by him.
