BB G2: Louisiana 3, Troy 4

I was being sarcastic in previous post. The lack of player development is disappointing.

Understood....

Basketball has been trending down for over a decade, baseball and softball are also trending down. Hosting regionals and going to super regionals in softball seem to be a thing of the past. Baseball going in same direction. And don't talk about covid...Every university had to deal with it. Those that were strong before it have recovered and are back from where they left off for the most part. We seem to be stuck in the ditch with those three sports.

Basketball has been serious trending downward since errors during Evan's era. Misstep on a false resume'. Lee dealt with APR Evan's era left, Marlin gave hope, but has turned into Ricky Bustle. And we were already in a down trend from the mid 80's, whose fan base is aging out. Basketball is for Maggard to figure out.

Baseball was trending down before Robe left us. Deggs in the unenviable position of following a legend. Did not matter who came in, they'll never measure up to the core fans. In that respect, Deggs may be the right hire in time...he well knew what he was getting into.

Softball, like it or not, the landscape was changing before Covid and the portal. The large conferences have a pot of gold. And the JMUs of the private smaller university world have the money to match anything we build. We have a coach that knows how to win, he can do it.

Covid...if not for Covid, we don't play and dominate Iowa State on a Saturday afternoon in an empty stadium, becoming a major topic for the talking heads; launched UL into national polls, Napier on his path to Florida, and CMD into the head coaching role where he must produce.

There are blessings in all situations. Geaux Cajuns!
