Today’s episode is the first time ever that we’ve had a father/daughter duo on the podcast.

Our first guest is Louisiana Head Coach Gerry Glasco.

After breaking through with the Ragin Cajuns’ and advancing to Super Regionals in 2023, Louisiana is looking to go one step further in 2024.

Coach Glasco chats with Eric about beating LSU in Baton Rouge, coaching in the WPF, and his INCREDIBLE non-conference schedule this season. Then we chat with his daughter, Eastern Illinois Head Coach Tara Archibald who also had a breakthrough 2023 as the Panthers made their first NCAA Tournament. Coach Archibald reflects on that magical season and what led her squad to their successful run. Plus, she talks about getting into softball and the legendary coaches she played for & learned from.

Nice pick-up for the Cajuns today with the announced commitment of Shyanne Irvin - BIG TIME catcher for St. Thomas More... was one of the keys, as a sophomore, in the Cougars State Championship last year. Chose the Cajuns over LSU and Alabama, among others. Chalk one up for Glasco!

Decent player. Has some work to do both on her swing mechanics and receiving skills. If she can get those things worked out, she might be a contributor. I was told that she was extended a qualified offer so there are some things that need to be overcome first.

She was not offered by Alabama and she was not offered by LSU. So, she did not choose the Cajuns over those two schools.

. . . . Like Griffin Hebert, some here just don’t understand that concept . . . but what’s it really matter, what she HAS chosen is to be a Ragin Cajun . . . that is all that should matter . . . really glad you chose to stay home, Shyanne . . .

So Rory clearing up a misconception is a bad thing?

She shut them down before they had a chance.

Awesome!

I know she had visits to those schools. Her upside, IMHO, is tremendous. I don't know... but maybe she wasn't offered by those other schools because of the other things she needs to work on (someone alluded to above).

Stay tuned. She WILL be a contributor. She's got the X factor.

So Rory clearing up a misconception is a bad thing?

. . . absolutely not . . . quite the opposite . . . did you really read my post or did you just take a shot in the dark . . . we should care less who else may have offered her but only that for whatever reason she chose to commit to Louisiana . . . possibly the best choice she has made in her young life do date . . .

I have seen her play a lot and she is better than decent. Your other information is on point.
