BB G3 Final: Louisiana 14, Troy 13

[Cajunrunner]

We are the skin of our teeth away from being 1-9 over our last 10 and havent look good doing it.

I get it, it doesn’t feel good. But instead of being 1-9, we are 4-6 in that stretch.

Teams that play tough find ways to win when they probably shouldn’t. I’m sure everyone will agree the last two seasons under Napier were the two best in Ragin Cajun football history. We went 23-2. Two Top 16 finishes.

11 of those wins were one score games, including a 3 point win over NICHOLLS.

In 2020, after the win at Iowa State, we went 3-1. The total margin for those three wins was 10 points.

The 2015 Baseball team that made it to the Supers @ LSU basically had to win the SBC tournament in order to even make a Regional. They had 34 wins in the regular season. This year’s team is already at that number, and the SBC looks to be stronger than 9 years ago. In 2015, we were the only Belt team to make a Regional. Coastal did make it out of the Big South.

Anybody with a D1 subscription?

Sure would like to read this one!

This board does not want to read this article (at least some of this board). First, it discusses how not only is the season not over, but that the Cajuns are in a strong position to snag an at-large bid given the two-game lead in conference with two weekends remaining. They actually control their own destiny.

It also discusses how Louisiana is loaded with quality arms, which we all know is not true.

Fitt ...
"In the two games I attended this weekend, it was very obvious that Louisiana is loaded with more quality arms than it has had in years, even despite allowing eight runs in Saturday’s loss and 13 more in Sunday’s win. Superstar stopper LP Langevin wasn’t his best Saturday, and Troy beat him, but very few pitchers in the country can match his stuff, particularly from his low slot. And UL trotted out a bunch more good arms on Sunday, from sinkerballer Blake McGehee to power righty Jack Martinez to lefty Blake Marshall to righties Carson Fluno, JT Etheridge, Holzhammer and Christie. All of them have real stuff and feel for pitching, and it’s easy to see why Louisiana entered Saturday ranked 13th in the nation in ERA. Don’t read too much into the 14-13 score; this pitching staff is legit."

Deggs ...
“It’s the most arms that have been here in a long time, and it predates me, even my first time here [from 2012-14], we didn’t have what we have. Even when we were No. 1 in the country, we might have won the whole thing if we had had a couple of these guys,” Deggs said. “[Pitching coach] Gunner [Leger]’s done a great job. He’s been a huge pickup for us. We’ve got the arms that it takes, we’ve just got to cut out the silliness, and credit them too, they stayed in the strike zone.”

I mean ... who can read this nonsense.

Then, if that is not enough, the article covers the disciplined Troy offense that ranks second in the nation in walks, how they are difficult to contain, and how opposing pitchers must be exceptionally sharp to beat them ... and how they are especially tough in this ballpark.

Nope. Nothing to see here.

Well, I did like the accolades for Debo ... described by Fitt as the most talented player in the Sun Belt ... and a marquee talent at the plate and in the field.

Post season is all about who is hot, always has been in college, professional baseball and other sports.

The 2014 Ole Miss team was 12-8 in their last 20 games including 1-2 in the SEC tourney, before hosting a regional. They then won three straight in Oxford, came here and took two of three from us. They were not a national seed but got to the semi-finals in Omaha and came in third. They had a good team obviously, but got better at the end.

Oh and that Fitt guy need to get his eyes checked

[CajunVic]

It is never all about one thing.

We have a team that is well into top 10% in the country with the talent to go along with that ranking . . .

Thanks Brian, but I won't be reading Aaron Fitt either. I'm glad he made time to actually watch the Cajuns play in person. Nothing Aaron stated in this article hasn't been told to me and others that attend the Diamond Club meetings and have talked with the staff. Time will tell whether the Coastal and Troy results were simply anomalies or something that should be a concern finishing the season. We will find out from the next two series.

[CajunVic]

Listen, listen, listen dolly llama . . .

Only one thing we can all agree on.

We gonna find out.
