There are no words. There are just no words.
So unreal. Very very sad day. RIP Coach Robe
He was an unbelievable person. All of us lucky enough to have known him are better off for it. I hope to one day impact a fraction of the lives he did.
I cannot find the words. RIP Coach. Prayers for you and your family.
Sitting at Russo Park wont be the same. You can't wash away 25 years of memories that this great man as brought and shared with his Cajun Family. His visit when I was in the hospital in 2001 with a heart attack will remain with me. I so wished I could have done the same. I will miss you coach.
Tony Robichaux, the highly regarded leader of the UL Ragin' Cajuns' baseball program for more than two decades and the all-time winningest coach in program history, has died after suffering a heart attack June 23.
He was 57 years old.
Other than thinking of his family, I can't begin to imagine what the team of 17 to 20 year olds are going through losing their leader. Probably the first time any of these young men have had to deal with a death. And so many of them are away from home playing summer ball, keep those men in your thoughts and prayers as well.
I'm shocked and saddened by this. A complete gut punch that seems so unfair.
I only knew him from what I've read about him over the years, but I believe he would be the first to tell us that the world is not always fair and that we can overcome the cruelty of this world by moving forward and persevering until we are all together again. My sincerest condolences go out to the Robichaux family and may God bless them.
The Lord just got himself a damn good baseball coach.
Louisiana Baseball head coach Tony Robichaux passed away Wednesday morning with his family and loved ones at his side at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans.
Coach Robichaux, the winningest head coach in Ragin' Cajuns Baseball history, leaves behind a legacy of servant leadership, compassion and faith that extends beyond the baseball diamond and into the lives of the thousands of student-athletes and staff he impacted in his 25 seasons leading the program.

At this time, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Department of Athletics asks that fans and the general public keep the Robichaux family and baseball program in their thoughts and prayers.
Just saw this on a news feed, no words. His legacy will forever be on the university and the state of Louisiana. Very sad day.
