Final SB Louisiana 0, LSU 8

In a unique perspective, they’re literally taking Steve Miller’s advice.

Track is unique where an athlete is always competing against their PRs. There’s no concern about level of competition influencing the numbers.

That is exactly why I encourage athletes from small schools to run track. It is the only sport where recruiting is 100% objective. A truly superior athlete playing class A in a team sport often gets overlooked because of the level of competition. That doesn't happen in track.

That 10.4 hundred don't care who you ran it against. And neither does the coach at any level. In fact, it is actually harder to run fast times when not pushed; not so much in the 100, but at 200 and especially 400 meters, having close competition will push you to better times.

You are so correct about that - running is a sport where it’s pretty much all in the control of the actual runner

What I got out of the Coach Habetz postgame interview was a coach who looks worn out after trying to stress all avenues of solutions. It just isn't clicking.

I think everyone on here has posted some good points as to why we are struggling. But with the facilities, history, fan base, and support we already have; I (at a minimum) expect to compete in the conference. Getting swept by ULM and an average JMU team is unacceptable. Right now, we are in position to not even make the conference tournament that we are hosting. If we somehow miss out on it, there needs to be serious talks from the inside on where we want this program to go for the future because this current path can't continue.

In fairness to ULM, their coach has changed them from a laughing stock into a legitimate conference championship contender. I said that before the season started. JMU though, is not a good softball team by SBC standards this year.

Even so, there is no acceptable excuse for our girls to not be in the hunt for a regular season conference championship and a tournament title. I completely agree that conversations need to be had at season's end, even if we do make the conference tournament. It is very clear that something is seriously wrong with the program.

If that's the case for ULM, then that coach deserves the SBC COY award. ULM recruits to scarce resources yearly.

Every recruited athlete should have talent.

Coaching those athletes "up" is why Louisiana has recently returned to setting school records across multiple events.

Although I would have Liked to see this a couple a weeks ago I saw passion I saw fight and I saw a coach that is ____ed and tired of losing . She also owned the whole situation the team going through. Yeh she called out the players ,big deal they should be called out if that’s what it takes but she did say she is responsible

That’s what I heard/saw as well. But the pitchforks are already out and some will see/hear what they want to.

How many diamonds in the rough are there out there to be found in track?

Only a great coach can know the answer.
