    So if you believe that, I have about 100 acres of prime land I want to sell you about 50 miles south of Abbeville. What cost me $100 at the grocery store 2 years ago costs about $400 now for the same products. Yet, my salary has not quadrupled in those same 2 years.

    Glasco by far had the toughest transition of any coach. I respect the hell out the man.

    No blaming officials no revenge tour zero excuses.

    This in spades. Glasco has never blamed anyone but himself when our team struggles. Much to his credit it rarely does. He is the only coach we have ever had in any sport who openly declares that his goal for our team is a National Championship.

    VO, I have no problem with Jerry Glasco. From my conversations with him (which hasn't been many) the guy is top notch. Since you are not involved with Baseball, Deggs is everything you just proclaimed that Glasco is when it comes to expectations.

    Both men now realize the NIL concerns will now affect their programs. Glasco mentioned in early spring that he will need to raise $500K in NIL donations annually to stay relevant in the rankings. It hasn't been accomplished in any sport yet, so the apathy you are discussing appears to be across the board.

    CGG is probably one of the best athletic hires by UL.

    Yet this weekend I heard grumbling from an SB insider how they need to run him and promote JR.

    SMH…

    I'm not sure who JT is, but if you mean JR I would say that's typical ULL thinking by some people. If he leaves, best of luck.

    Hmmm I wonder where we have 15,000 younger fans at? Could it be that they get in free so they don’t want them there?

    Thanks. Brain cramp.

    Pretty much my response, except I used USL.

    I wouldn't be totally shocked if some of the "we don't care if you come" vibes given off in other sports has a small impact on the diamond sports as well.

    Football can't raise 50k in NIL money. Doubt softball can come close to that number.
