11.10.23 Fallout - gloves off

[Turbine]

I can remember when people on here were calling for Theo’s head he looks like he is turning that program into a winner now that he has the facility at oak borne.

Glad the program is showing, signs of life but I dont subscribe that the wait was worth the payoff.

Sacrificing a decade for results is not a good investment.

When was the last time you’ve been inside Cajun Field? It’s a dump. It absolutely has to be renovated. Regardless of attendance.

That's not the point. It's the fact that they're not doing ANYTHING to fix the game day experience, believing the new stadium is gonna fix all that. The only thing that will accomplish is an even more ____ed off and apathetic fanbase (even more than it is now). All that line of thinking will get you is a shiny new toy with no one there to enjoy it. If they don't fix the truckload of problems we have, we'll be in a worse position after the reno is finally done.

You got to start somewhere. I am hopeful that the new digs will include a much improved game day experience. We have a few years before the ribbon is cut, which gives us time to continue to air our grievances and make sure that things are handled appropriately.

I just shows you we didn’t have the facilities for anyone to be successful in recruiting here. Now that he compete with pier programs in facilities he is having success. It’s kind of like ULM trying to compete with the rest of the conference in football with sub par facilities.

Preach it brother!

Guess I just misread

“I want one person to give a good reason why every single person within the Athletics Department shouldn't be called into the ADs office and evaluated TODAY!”

I get the frustration. There was a lot of momentum going in that football program for the first time in the modern era. And it isn’t going well right now.

I just don’t want to consider terminating an entire coaching staff, admin and dept b/c of an overtime loss to Southern Mississippi.

If you are seeing this as just one game and not the last 2 seasons then shame on you. I was at Ark st and that team was flat and looked like they would rather be anywhere else but on that field.

You have to wonder if Martin Hall will ever do anything to sabotage the softball program. Why have they chosen to destroy football but left softball alone?

What facilities are you referring to? Once CF is renovated our facility will be excellent for recruiting. Unless I’m missing something.

Because we are a softball school.

All kidding aside. If you want to go on the hypothesis that the leadership doesn’t want athletics to “outshine” academics, or that someone above them doesn’t want any public institution to get more attention than “the Flagship”; softball doesn’t upset either apple cart.
Not saying either of those hypotheses are correct. And I’ve long been proud of our softball program.

[CajunVic]

. . . Louisiana softball eliminated the Flagship last season . . . that should be considered upsetting their Apple cart . . .

I truly hope this was a sarcastic post. I never know anymore

Softball in one of the programs that probably makes them money.
