"But one of the things that always stuck out to me was the part where he said ego was 'Edging God Out.'
"I think that's huge, and huge for me personally as I go out and live my life – you know, getting rid of that ego,"' Trahan added. "That's not the divine within us. That's not the God within us. Just that little saying right there — Edging God Out; ego — is just an incredible way to put it."
Think what this world would be like if just a few more lived this way. I'm going to try and do my part.
They shared him with us so unselfishly. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid, except by being the people he wanted us to be.
Very touching interview with Jay from yesterday, I believe.

Class act.
I think black will be appropriate cajun gear for a while.
Very surreal week. Still can't fathom him passing in the hospital after his initial procedure.
I'm very sorry for his wife and family. This is a great loss to Acadiana, and Lafayette in particular. Some few people are bigger than their individual lives. Robe was clearly a man whose life was devoted to being a representative for Christ.
Too emotional to talk about it in full on the telephone when longtime Ragin’ Cajuns coach Tony Robichaux died Wednesday, pitcher Gunner Leger — who spent a five-season career under Robichaux at UL, ending this year — took time to write down his thoughts and share them on Friday with The Daily Advertiser.
Leger, son of Cajuns assistant football coach and former Pittsburgh Pirates minor-leaguer Tim Leger, was the Sun Belt Conference’s Pitcher of the Year in 2017. He was drafted by the Miami Marlins in ’17, but did not sign. Leger instead underwent elbow and leg surgeries, sat out all of 2018 while rehabbing and returned for an injury-hampered final season this year.

"Great coach, better man" is a cliche, but it "never fit anybody any better" than UL's Robichaux, says former sports information director Dan McDonald
Longtime Ragin’ Cajuns play-by-play man Jay Walker may never forget the day Tony Robichaux clinched his first Sun Belt Conference championship.
It was 1997, and Robichaux was late in his third of 25 seasons as head coach at UL
The board has been eerily quiet today. Maybe 3 posts all day. I know everyone is mourning and the sadness is great within all of us. What more can you say? I don’t know I’m still in shock. It is gonna be weird seeing someone else walking out of the dugout to go talk to pitchers or walking towards home plate to meet with the umps and opposing coach before the games.
To his dying day, the coach from Crowley wanted to be remembered not for what he did but instead for who he was. Robichaux, 57, passed away Wednesday, 10 days after suffering a heart attack. When he is laid to rest Monday in his hometown, his wish will be realized
