Baseball Series Total: UL 1, ULM 2

[angeleast]

I try to be optimistic as hell. But we are a sub .500 team period. No way to spin this.

Is that whatÂ’s happening here though? I have to push back when people try to pin situations like this squarely on NIL. McNeese isnÂ’t out there flush with cash for baseball NIL. Neither is UTRGV. Then thereÂ’s the schools in our own league that have fielded Top 25 teams in this environment. Maybe they have more NIL than we do, but that shouldnÂ’t be the case. We absolutely should be able to compete with the Troys, CCUs, and USMs of the world in NIL. We are still behind the times.

I was more referring to attendance.

McNeese will plummet eventually .. they just did the smart thing and hired a very good, big-name coach that most schools wouldn't touch because of his baggage. He comes in and promises a bunch of recruits and transfers that he'll help them get to P5 team, maybe even when he leaves for one himself.

They're "success" was built on promises of greener pastures elsewhere, and a 'who gives a s*** what people think' approach to marketing their program.

I don't think this season has anything to do with any sort of apathy because of NIL. I think if it were a situation where Morgan and Higgs had been poached prior to the season along with maybe Hammer or whoever else then you could say that.

But I think this has everything to do with the fact that watching this team play baseball is about as fun as pulling teeth. This may just be me, but I don't even feel like there is any sort of progression happening. I'd like to think that the freshmen are getting good experience, but are they? I guess time will tell.

I guess my answer is that its not a NIL thing. Its just plain zero fun watching this team. And yeah I'm still watching every game hoping for something to spark.

Hopefully this is just a bump
In the road, if it can happen to teams like Texas A&M and Florida who were in the national championship the last 2 years, it can certainly happen to us. We made 3 straight regionals and 2 straight at larges the staff deserves the benefit of the doubt to right the ship. It seems at this point of the season whatever will be fixed will have to be addressed in the offseason. Something isn’t clicking because lots of other teams were after all these kids and thought they were D1 ball players, they weren’t all wrong. Hopefully we can play our way into a regional so these guys can at least get the experience of it. We will need to address a lot in the offseason particularly on the mound.

Guess no thread for today’s game. Speaks volumes I suppose.

Cajuns down to 3 outs. Clutch hit for the Warhawks in the 7th looks like it could be the difference. Cajuns haven’t scored since the 4th inning.

Down to two outs.

One out. That was quick.

Cajuns lose the game and series.

[Esqueleto]

Cajuns lose game and series. 3-2

I said last week season was over and people were saying only one game back. Just a horrible season no excuses own it and move on

[MountainDew]

This team has given up on the year from top to bottom. I don’t remember which game it was, but one of the midweeks in the last couple of weeks I noticed our coaches in the dugout. Completely lifeless. They’re ready for this year to be over.

There’s an odd feeling of comfort that just came over me after this loss. I can turn this team off for the rest of the year and I’ll be doing just that. Maybe I’ll pick it up again for the SBC tourney (if we make it).

I have watched average to less than average teams that were entertaining. This just isn't that right now. Better times lay ahead.

[CAJUNJUDO]

First series loss to ULMost in 13 years. We bad bad.
