There is no passion in the baseball program any longer. The crowds are dwindling and I've see more and more people saying the beer is drawing them to the park more than the product on the field.
How much longer are we going to keep giving Robichaux a pass? We have not even been a fart on the college baseball scene for years now.
This year's team isn't going anywhere and there is nothing in the pipeline that should have anyone believing that 2011 will be any different.
Ten years ago we were vying to be the state's second best program and now we are lucky if we're in the top 5.
Does the 2000 CWS give Tony the right to run the program into the ground for many years like Bobby Bowden and Phil Fulmer did to those schools programs after having success over a decade ago?
The Marlin hire has me excited for basketball, but other than his hire this has been another absolutely putrid year for cajun athletics. Is it maybe the worst?
Football no bowl and Bustle has already been given a pass for 2010 in advance because of how tough the schedule is.
Basketball horrible
baseball horrible
softball no longer ranked
I was talking about this exact same thing yesterday with my friends. I think the athletic department needs to come out and make a statement that we will not tolerate mediocrity.
They have already made the change in MBB by hiring Bob Marlin, who IMO is the best hire on paper EVER at UL.
Robicheaux should be next. He has lost his passion for coaching and reminds me a lot of Coach Stokley at this point in his career. Riding out his time until Justin graduates. He has not recruited well, we can't field the ball, we can't hit in key situations and these are the supposed strengths of Robe's style of baseball. I agree that we should go after the guy at SLU he has a passion for the game that is unmatched. He is fiery and driven much like Robe was when he first got to UL. SLU is 23-3 before last night and their largest crowd to date is 1800 folks for Jewlane. UL should look at baseball as a program not "Tony Robicheaux's baseball team" as a program we are failing and that is all that should matter. Baseball fans should be the same way. You are LOYAL to UL not a coach!
If Bustle should happen to go 6-6 or worse he needs to g as well and we should see a tremendous jump in salary just like we did for basketball.
Then move on to Error Rogers and find a new WBB coach. This would bring excitement to every athletic program at UL. While also sending a message to every school in the region that we are here to compete, not just exist as an athletics program.
You would have to be an idiot to even admit that you were drawn to the ball park for the beer. You have to be kidding. Six bucks for twenty ounces? Go to the circle K and get your beer. Think of the money you will save.
Who do you guys think we were playing last night? Do you pay attention to college baseball at all? We are not going to waltz through the Sunbelt any longer. I agree that we need to get our crap together but you guys are full of it. Who do you want to coach our team?
Although I've been as frustrated with Coach Robe as many of you, I haven't lost confidence in him. I want... and we all need... for our program to get back on track, but I want Tony to be the one to get that done.
I would bet big money that he and his staff are smarter than all of us when it comes to baseball and that they know precisely what the problem is... that being our talent is down a bit. I would suspect that recruiting, more than anything right now, is and will be the focus going forward.
we have been saying that recruiting was the problem the last 3 to 4 years, and nothing has happened!
