Softball America hating on the Cajuns

[Cajunrunner]

I still maintain that Softball America was not hating on the Cajuns, as the thread title states.

In fact, almost the opposite.

I totally agree; the "mid-major" label is applied to our school and that then applies to all our sports.

If you read the article it is glowing with praise for our softball program.

The surprise to me was Troy being listed; that is very good to see as well as it will improve our conference.

A backhanded compliment is still a slap to the face.

Explain how this was a backhanded compliment. Should they have just let us off the list?

I agree. Success out of P5 is expected. No need to write an article on who could be successful out of P5. This article said - hey, don’t sleep on these 5 teams.

Louisiana is one of the best teams in ALL of softball.

When last season was cut short, Louisiana had the #1 RPI in the Country.

Segregating Louisiana into mid major status creates an unnecessary recruiting hurdle that the rest of the elite teams will use against you.

So you wanted them to leave us out of that article and put some other team to complete the 5? That would really do a lot to help recruiting.

If this was the only article that was to come out you would have a point.

However, between now and next season there will be far more articles on the elite of the elite reams, and this article's pigeonholing gives them an excuse to either footnote, or out right exclude Louisiana from those discussions.

What you say may happen but I doubt seriously that it will be at the behest of this article. I believe you are making a mountain out of a molehill. No one other than these 5 are getting press today. Take it and run.

Diverting attention from your true status by saying you are a big fish in the small pond is an insult when you are actually a BIG fish in a BIG pond.

Agree with you. They also didn't do their homework very well. When discussing the pitching, there was no mention of Summer at all.
