Louisiana Hosts Texas State In Blackout Game

[Million$Mullet]

To me, a very casual Basketball fan, I used to care when we were winning and had a shot at post season because UL is my Alma Mater.. But its not logical for me to care about 10 years,a decade, of remembering that we have a men's basketball team with the end result.... If basketball mattered here a change will occur. To put it in perspective, let our football coach or baseball coach produce these results over a decade.. Their A%$ would be ran out of town.

How long do you think Maggard would have kept Bustle as head coach?

2 years... but I think Maggs gets the fact that losing the casual fan like me does not kill a program. Its losing the hard core fellas.

You are correct. Hud is the blueprint.

Maggard will take into account our team looks like a MASH unit. Stepping back, I've never seen a basketball team beset with one injury after another like UL.

Fifty something change in average attendance isn't going to move the needle for Maggard at this juncture.

We'll renew, it's not anyone's fault the players are injured. Stretching to blaming a coach for recruiting a player who may be susceptible to injury is ludicrous. If a player is good enough, you have to go after them or someone else will. There is no magic eight ball in recruiting.

Vic is right, it's like cards. Aces in the hole twice the other night, no other players did (or said they did). After 5 hours of grinding, finished a whopping 4 dollars ahead. It happens.

Change will eventually occur but it won’t be after this season, regardless of how the year finishes due to the circumstances. That is 100 percent the case regardless of opinions stated here. Not to discourage people voicing opinions as that is the purpose of forums like this and I do believe the administration is aware of what is said here. We should all hope it is not after next season as that will mean we have had a successful year. I understand how subjective the word “successful” is in this case.

And I understand that, but what happened last year? Or the year before?

If you want to look at just the last 3 years it was all the same story. You can look at that as a curse, a few crappy hands in a row or whatever.

17-18 season was probably the best Cajun team I have seen play. Injury and Illness at the worst possible time and running into a underachieving talented team in the conference tournament and bam it was over.

18-19 season was a team with a few key pieces left that should have been in contention for the conference title but not as dominant as the year before. Losing a potential starter before the season and then one of the key pieces that couldn’t afford to be lost before conference and they end up a notch below that in 5th.

Looks like cards to me.

You think Maggard retains the staff if they miss the conference tournament?

Yes. Unless the three guys out now return soon and then continue to struggle.

Well hey, get used to it. Because you will have 3 guys coming off ACL injury, the excuses ain't going anywhere. It isn't ludicrous to talk about that.

Ahhh this is funny. See the trend, no development of back end of roster.
