It has been happening for softball for many, many years. It is nothing new. It is not arrogance, or, ego on the other team's part either. It is their fear of losing to a team that is not in a P5 conference. Most P5 schools, except a handful, like Alabama, have anything close to the atmosphere at Lampson Park. I know. I have been to many of those parks.
This the nature of "The Regionals" and Louisiana should never develop a complex over teams feeling slighted by going home losers after playing here.
48 out of 64 teams go home losers after regionals only 16 advance.
I don't think any school in the country would shun Louisiana over this. Unless Louisiana develops a complex over it, we would be our own worst enemy.
Good point. I know there have been a number of P5 schools that have been asked to schedule a home and away series with the Cajuns, but have refused. I also know of one, FSU, that was scheduled to come here and backed out. Finally, the Cajuns will get to play them in Clearwater in 2023. I think it's a great thing the Cajuns have a home and away series with LSU.
Come to think of it these teams will come to Lamson Park as long as the current coaches are there. Alabama (Murp) Texas (White) Baylor (Moore) LSU (Torino) Texas A&M (Guthrie) Florida(Walton) Coach Glasco has connections to these coaches. I would like to see Maggard use his connections to get Missouri to Lamson Park. I am surprised we haven't seen Georgia or Auburn yet especially with Coach Glasco connections to those programs. Maybe that will be in the works for the future. We have Ole Miss coming, maybe we can get Mississippi State down the road.
Happy to see the podcast is back! Great job!
Btw I gave you a review on Apple, to show my support of the pod lol.
