Louisiana Soccer 2016

None, but we should win.

I want all our sports to win. It's not a reflection on the players. The comment is about our AD and lackluster coaching. But I did buy a pair of volleyball and soccer to support the players.

How about you rebel if nothing?

Personally, if I don't care enough to go to the games I'm not going to get upset about it if they lose.

We don't make women's soccer a priority. No schools at our level do. So I don't really expect us to win or lose. I'd rather see that money and effort spent on one of the sports everyone cares about.

So how do you explain all those other conference teams that beat us year in and year out? Guess it's just luck? We've had a losing conference record for all but three years in the past fifteen years!! Twelve under the current head coach.

And by the way who says it will take more money? And what effort? I have a vested interest in the game. We should strive to do better. I know Louisiana isn't loaded with soccer talent historically but it is getting better fast and apparently the talent we are getting out of Europe and the West Coast of the USA isn't as good as the talent that all our conference mates are able to find.

Rebel is fine with whatever crap sandwich FarmerBROWN and t-jo serve up. You're paying a coach. Here's a novel idea don't suck.

Most would rather they just be a student at LSU than play soccer or volleyball at UL.

Sadly, I can testify this to be a 100% factual statement. Given the opportunity to ride a bus around the southeastern part of the country on fall afternoons while your friends are tailgating wherever just does not appeal to most female college students. If you have the grades, take the Tops stipend and party on. That tends to be a trait of soccer players; they are good in the classroom too.

Most of the higher level players in the state have seen the upper level payers in the region and in some cases the nation playing travel ball. Even for the corn dogs, it's a hard sell in Louisiana.

It's funny how the only time women's soccer gets mentioned around here is when we lose.

It only seems that way.

NewsCopy posts the games win, lose or draw.

So girls in the South, and Louisiana in particular don't want to continue playing soccer after grade and high school. It seems that softball was something young girls would just love to do after grade and high school. Sorry but that kind of thinking is exactly why we have such a below average team.

If we had one of FarmerBROWN coaches our softball could languish for decades and at some point you'd come on and justify it, but instead we had Yvette, and the Lotiefs. Lotief, who by the way, FarmerBROWN as much as fired, make this a destination program. I've no doubt there is a coach out there that can make UL a destination program for volleyball, and soccer, instead we settle for what we have.

I know. I was just pointing out that nobody ever comments on the NewsCopy articles unless they lose.

Nobody walks in and says you look great today, so healthy. Get sick and pale, death warmed over and people say you need to take it easy, see a doctor, take care of yourself.

The soccer and volleyball programs have never looked healthy why would we comment?

Why does every single thread on here have to turn into the same people stating that everyone from the President of the University down to the guy who directs traffic for home games and everyone in between is incompetent?

We already know, at nauseum, that you guys feel that way, you don'the have to keep repeating it over and over.

[CajunEXPRESS]

You'd like a vacuum in absolute failure. My original comment, the first in this thread, was just an observation. You and your cohorts turned it into more that that. Nothing about the players, nothing about the coach, nothing about FarmBROWN.
