Now that we've had time to digest the Sun Belt baseball tournament here are the winners and losers. BIGGEST WINNER:  UALR Duh.  The Trojans are in the NCAA tournament after only making the Sun Belt Tournament for the first time since 2003.  The Tro...

LSU players, coaches and fans are obviously disappointed today after the Tigers were not included in the field of 64 for the NCAA Tournament. But let's face it, the Tigers put themselves in the position to be passed over.

Yesterday, Louisiana baseball coach Tony Robichaux was ejected after protesting a call in the third inning that went against his team. According to Sun Belt Conference rules, an ejection of a coach in any sport merits a one-game suspension, pending appeal.

Well, it's back to Monroe. And, it got bad before I got to Opelousas. My cell phone rings and it's Bab. Now, I've known Anthony Babineaux for the better part of twenty years.  And, he's usually pretty upbeat when we speak. But he didn't sound great. ...

MONROE--Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns finished third in the Sun Belt Conference.  But you'd have a hard time knowing it by looking at the All-Sun Belt team released tonight. Only one Cajun, designated hitter Lance Marvel was named to the team as a second team selection.  Bu...

The league's hottest team resides here. And, you'd better be good if you're going to beat them.

The Sun Belt Conference has changed the format for the tournament this year, whereby instead of double elimination within your bracket, it is now pool play.  After a round robin within the bracket, the two bracket champions meet for the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.  In...

I don't get to vote.....but I should.

What a way to end the season. Not one trip to Monroe.  Two trips to Monroe. What have I done in my life to deserve such a blessing? Okay, so it's not a trip I really look forward to. West Monroe isn't so bad.  The city of Monroe?  Well, l...

You all remember the famous line from "Field of Dreams." In fact, it's become an overused cliche'. "If you build it, they will come." Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun softball team is perennially one of the Top 25 programs in America. It's been that way for over twenty years...

.....here are some things you really should make it a point to do...........

courtesy ragincajuns.com It started nearly a decade ago. Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun baseball team, just like all other sports, has always celebrated Senior Day.  It's the day when seniors play on their home field/court for the final time.

Here are your standings after Sunday's play in the Sun Belt Conference: Troy                         19-8 FIU                           18-8-1 Louisiana               16-11 FAU                         16-11 WKU                       15-12 South Alabama  14-13 ASU                       10-16-1 UALR                   10-17 MTSU                    8-19 ULM                      8-19 FIU and Arkansas S

What happens when you lose five of your six best hitters, six of your nine everyday starters and two weekend pitchers? Well, if your Middle Tennessee in 2011, you struggle.  Big time. The Blue Raiders just haven't gotten it together this season.  Th...

Last night, Louisiana hosted Rice for the first time in eighteen years.  It's not often a team of that caliber comes to Tigue Moore Field.  And therefore, it was an opportunity.  An opportunity to showcase everything good about the ball park.  An opportuni...

In my line of work covering the Cajuns, road trips are a part of life.  And, there are good trips and bad trips.  San Francisco?  Good.  Ruston?  Bad.  Boca Raton?  Good.  Monroe?  Bad.  Dallas/Ft. Worth?  Good.  Jonesboro?  Bad.  Very bad. An...

The University of Louisiana has announced that Tuesday night's game against Rice is a sellout. The game is the final "season ticket redemption night" of the season.  Advance sales combined with ticket redemptions has resulted in the first advance sellout at "Tigue Moore Field" since 2002. ...

When you're fighting to get back in the Sun Belt race, and you're playing the last place team at home, you have to take care of year business. Mission accomplished.  The Cajuns certainly didn't win easily, but they won.  And, as a result, they find themselves two games out of first place with nine games left to play. Satur...

If you look at the box score from last night's Louisiana victory, 6-3 over Arkansas-Little Rock, you'll see that the Cajuns got eleven hits.  You'll see that Matt Goulas had a big night, with three hits, two runs scored and two driven in.  ...

Sometimes, it's the little things. Having lived here in this state for all of my adult life, I've come to enjoy many things about the state of Louisiana. And some of them have to do with college sports.
