"Too Comfortable" or "Too Complacent"

[KajunKrazy]

That is not what happened.

Failing to send in your defense to the NCAA had the same DP results, but they did not turn themselves in for the Bo Lamar era.

They turned themselves in for the Robert E Lee era.

Way back during the civil war?

Excuse me. Raymond Blanco absolutely worked with the NCAA to destroy our basketball program. This is not an opinion. It is a historically documented fact.

Who would have ever thought that all the blood, sweat and tears and money and time that has been put into building the Louisiana we all knew we already were would be hindered by an administration that hates the concept of Cajuns Football actually having a shot at a NY6 as the top G5. Hell, the window may have actually already passed. We've even dropped when even our own conference has arguably taken the reigns as top G5.

UL wants an opinion as to how this situation can be resolved? Two words: Wake.Up.

No it's not.

Never heard it, read it, or even had someone hint at it before now.

His influence on getting Baldwin has been widely discussed.

Mmk. Go ahead and believe what you want to.

Or you could provide the documented historical facts you speak of.

What did Authement say about the TAMU victory, allegedly?

There is your answer.

I don’t know what he said about that, but we know he crushed Robe’s dream of returning to the CWS when Robe was telling him he was trying to get back. The little intern spilled the beans and was quietly moved from the baseball program. Can’t recall her name, but it was all over RP.

I never heard about this. Please give more details.

[CajunEXPRESS]

No doubt about it. The intern was working for baseball coach Robe. She’d occasionally update the RP group on what was happening in baseball. She was very cute, and smart but naive.

Robe had the Fossil in his office and was expressing his goals of getting to the CWS often and maybe winning it. I can’t recall exactly what the Fossil told him but it basically was not something that the Fossil regarded as a good idea. The young intern spilled the beans on the Fossil leaving him with egg on his face. She was moved from baseball.

I’m sure she quickly learned that you can’t spill the beans on the head man. Can’t recall her name. People like Cajun Diehard, and Z Man might recall better. Also might have been on a different website that folded up leaving Ragin Pagin as the premier fan forum for the Cajuns. Would have been in 2001-3 shortly after the trip to Omaha.

I'm not trying to be a jerk.... but write this s*** down somewhere man.

UL seems to have a million of these stories about how the admin, or the AD, or the President, or LSU, or WHOEVER, did this or that to screw over the school, but it's always these memories floating around in the ether, unconfirmed and unreported.

Stories like these (president of the university actively working against a town and fan favorite baseball coach) are the EXACT type of thing you want to go public. Public backlash is the best - and probably only - way to stop complacency in the upper ranks of the university.

Example: University sends out memo to Greeks telling them no drinking, it goes viral, and within days the school is backpedaling and denying, even if only for one game.

If we need a blog website or something to get these Ragin Cajun tall tales down on paper, then I'll make the damn thing.. but it's you guys that seem to have the source material.

[R1Letterman]

How does a conversation prevent a team from getting to omaha again? Not counting facilities/budget/etc, they were a few steps away again, so I doubt seriously that conversation stopped it. Could our budget have improved, of course, but did budget or a conversation years earlier stop cajuns from winning a super regional hosted in lafayette?

Imo besides Ragin Pagin and somewhat Ragin Review Podcast no one with a real reach can get this stuff out to the public in the masses. Local media is scared to death of this stuff because of the backlash they would receive....

Dave did it during the Teague debacle and was suspended and eventually left...

Glad he is back but doubt he will tread those waters again...

This is why Ragin Review is so important right now, definitely picking up steam (especially on line) and filling in where local media is failing (or absent.)
