R.I.P. Coach Robichaux

[Oiler]

What a horribly sad day for all of us. RIP coach Robe.

This hurts.

Rest in peace Coach Robe. God's work was done on this earth, I can only guess.

My prayers go out to his family as well.

This afternoon listening to 1420 is gut wrenching. Amazing hearing how many lives this one man touched during his 57 years on earth.

And a fraction of the discussion is baseball related...wow

Have never been this shook up about losing someone I have never met. I can’t imagine what his family, friend and players (former and current) are going through.

This world lost not only a great coach, but a great life teacher and great man. Words alone cannot describe how great of a man Coach Robe was. His time on earth is done, but his legacy lives on. The Lord was ready for him. We need more men like Coach Robe to make this earth a better place to live. Sadly there are fewer and fewer like Coach Robe. I know he is in his World Series permanently which is The World Series of Heaven which is everlasting. RIP Coach Robe.

Louisiana and LSU were strange bedfellows to say the least when the NCAA decided to have the two rival baseball programs share the same hotel at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, in 2000.

UL was a rising program under fifth-year coach Tony Robichaux and at its first CWS, having upset South Carolina on the road in the Super Regional to become the first and last Sun Belt Conference team to reach Omaha. LSU was after its fifth national championship in 10 years under Coach Skip Bertman.

Well said, I along with my family have know Tony for a long time, My older brother was real close to Tony, and he ( Tony) was a special guy. Over the years, we had the good fortune of employing numerous baseball players during the off season, and trust me Tony and his aids paid close attention to their work effort, attitude etc. In my view Tony was Particularly unusual in the coaching and sports world. The real testament to Tony will come from his former and current players. His motto of making men out of boys is fitting. While this is truly difficult times for his family, friends, former players and the University, the good news is, there is no doubt that he going to a good place in heaven.
RIP Tony
