_ I wonder if they are talking about this in Baton Rouge. I bet they wish they had a college baseball team. _

I bet they wish they had a college baseball coach.

[SportsFan]

my guess is they don't worry about it.

Unlike us who _____ about everything dealing with them.

Can we enjoy ourselves without bringing the team to the east into the conversation? First off, they are not going away in baseball. We need to do "our thing", see where that takes us, and keep them and others out of it. Geaux Cajuns!

With UL's annual Red-White Fall World Series scheduled to begin on Thursday, the Ragin' Cajun baseball team was picked in its second preseason top 25 poll on Friday. The Cajuns were picked No. 19 in the CSTV.com fall poll, the only state team and the only Sun Belt Conference team picked in the top 25 or among the five others receiving votes. In September, the Rivals.com poll listed UL among its pre-fall top 25 teams, again the only state or Sun Belt team ranked. That poll did not rank teams, but only listed 25 in alphabetical order.

Ditto. Can't we just enjoy who we are? And that is the best team in LA and one of the best in the nation in both spring sports. Show a little independence people, be proud to say we are UL. Our success does not depend on things to the east.

I can't wait for baseball season and softball for that matter.

Sssshhhhhh.... be quiet.... One day they just might wake up and realize what they are missing just 49 miles away..... Of course then Coach Robe would finally get paid what he is worth but thats a whole different discussion

[CajunRed]

Can anyone confirm the times of this week's "Red-White World Series"?

Thanks!

He got a raise this past off-year. He should still be getting more, but he is being paid much better for what he's worth.

I understand but this guy is the best college coach in the country.... If the folks accross the pond (Atchafalaya) ever wake up to that fact they will make him wealthy.... I dont bemoan him getting his due... would just rather it be for a more worthy program than the Evil Empire

[CajunProud]

I thought this was supposed to start on Thursday, Nov. 1, but the paper says Friday, Nov. 2. Which is it?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, although the potential for him leaving is certainly there.

First, like someone already said, he just got a nice new contract. A contract that is littered with incentive bonuses. so, if/when he continues winning at UL, he will be paid. Its unfortunate that we can't give him more cash up front, but at least he will be rewarded for his success.

Secondly, the college baseball world isn't like it used to be. A job at LSU doesn't necessarily mean National Championships. This isn't the 90s, there's a lot more parity in this game these days.

Thirdly, I would contend, though I don't know him or know his feelings, that being able to stay at this program that he's built up to this level, and continuing to build, is just as important to him as moving to a new conference and fighting for regionals there. Like I said, being in the SEC doesn't guaruntee him anything more than he's already been able to earn at UL. I'm sure the amount of pride in seeing this program build into a national power is much greater than the satisfaction that he would gain by moving to a big money school. And, the jump to the SEC or Big XII in baseball isn't equal to the jump that JK Hall made to the big East, and isn't even close to a jump that Bustle or Lee would make. The Sun Belt is a very competitive baseball conference, and was ranked around 6th or 7th last year in overall conference RPI. And finally, unlike in Football and Basketball, Baseball is different in that the non-BCS schools have a great shot at a national championship, as evidenced by Rice and CS-Fullerton in recent years.

Fourth, if he left, it would move him away from his home and family, which I've heard is very important to him.

Overall, he would make more money, but I don't know, at least in my mind, that the extra money, and potentially same/similar results, would offer me the same satisfaction as winning at the smaller program that already has my fingerprints all over it, and requires much more gratifying work.

Yep I've made all of those arguments and while Baby-robe is here I don't think we have to worry... However I do think the guy can make some serious cash in a BCS type school and while the pride of what he has built here would way heavily, i think too the frustration of having to work so hard to raise money rather than do what he loves, coaching baseball, might play a factor...

anyway no reason today to worry.... those P&G's have their heads up their... well you know... when it comes to Robe and that fits me just fine
