ULLing us to death for one thing. They are consistent with that. May not be him though.

D1baseball.com has us 5th in the first five out of field of 64.
Auburn, Xavier, Rutgers, Long Beach State, Louisiana

look at which tv station put this up.

You think it’s alright to tell our people they have a little brother complex if “unsolicited” jabs are thrown at LSU, but I don’t hear a peep from you every single time there’s a national story with LOUISIANA mentioned and it’s nothing but P&G in the comments. I have no problem with people who would rather worry about their own people than others, but there’s a line between talking TO people and talking DOWN to them.

As far as the baseball portion of your post, I agree. That was the comical portion of the WS comments from LSU fans last night. Most fans I know were happy with the win but still more concerned with our inconsistent play to this point in the season.

You seemed to have lost me for that first paragraph.

I think he was implying that you don't say anything when LSU fans make disparaging remarks when a national story or national tweet about "Louisiana" is mentioned (ex. "They're ULALA not Louisiana") and has nothing to do with LSU but want to get on UL fans for the jabs thrown at LSU for the same thing.

At least that's what I think he meant.

Back to our Cajuns, has this team really started to take on Deggs' personality more so than the first three years? Are we seeing a continuation from how last season ended? Our style of play is damn exciting, we run into some outs but we keep the pressure on teams that are not used to this type of game. If I were a top regional seed I would not want to see us in the bracket! Looks like we are only a couple big time pitchers away from getting back to the level most of us expect, put a Friday ace on this team and we are talking about a 1 or 2 regional seed type team.

Last year was the first....and a lot of those same guys are back this year. He's got the Alpha Dogs he wants. I can tell you from spending some time with them, they've bought in big time.

Thanks.

I could care less what other fan bases (read: LSU fans) do. Especially in tweets or comments.

That's great to hear Jay, It definitely seems that way from watching this team.

It's a tough day for all the "I root for UL and the Tigers" fans

Everything is always revealed with time. They are not happy.

Let's F'n Geaux.

No wonder "The Grifter" hasn't shown up...

Hear that. That dude is twisted.

One thing I noticed was the difference in speed between the two teams. Cajuns turned a DP with their "big" guys running that even Brock probably runs out.

It will be interesting to see how the team performs going forward. If the freebies start to go up again for us this weekend, last night will be quickly forgotten. Last night was our first midweek road win. I do wonder if our RPI is going to be negatively affected by playing so many mid week home games. I think our only mid week road game left is at Tech. I know we need to generate revenue and apparently buying home games against SWAC schools is one of the ways we are doing so. Also, a concern to me is losing the last 2 home series. If the team goes on a run here fueled by last night, the victory will be more meaningful. Of course momentum in baseball is stopped by a good arm in the next game. Hopefully we get a good outing on Friday from the pitchers. Poor outings on Friday have occurred 3 of the last 4 weeks. Turning that around may be key to the season.

I'm still enjoying the win over the Tigers today. LSU fans are upset and making fun of us but I don't care. LSU has a very good team and an explosive offense and will likely compete for the national championship. Their fans that feel a need to belittle us and ULL or USL us relentlessly need to take a chill pill and move on. For me, I'm going to continue to enjoy the University of Louisiana victory and look forward to the weekend's series.

Making fun of the past and the non existent really shows how they got nothing and are grasping at straws.

Is Rawls still lined up to start Friday after throwing 3 innings Sunday and then another last night?

I would assume that he may be pushed back to Sunday with either Nezuh or McGehee going Friday (and the other on Saturday)
