    I think our AD and HCLB get it now.

    Interesting that by playing USL our RPI won't be helped. They are 101 and we are 9.

    Greetings from a Cajun fan. Not here to troll or worry about who calls who what. Just here for the game of baseball.

    Anyway, you are incorrect in that assumption. It actually will help your RPI by playing us. This is because of the calculation that is used to determine your RPI. It has nothing to do with our actual RPI ranking and everything to do with our Winning Percentage and our Opponents Winning Percentage. Because we have 9 wins, it will boost your Opponents Winning Percentage and will thus boost your RPI. Also, our RPI was sitting at #32 before we played scrub team Saint Marry's over the weekend for 3 games which is a team from up north that currently is 0-4 on the season. In other words, their .000 WP got multiplied by a factor of 3 which dropped our own Opponents Winning Percentage significantly for the time being. This can only go up because once they start winning, our RPI will get back to normal. Also, by season's end when our RPI is back in the Top 30 or so, it will look good on La Tech's resume if they beat us and have a good record vs. the RPI Top 25 or Top 50.

    Hope this helps. I have followed the RPI for years and we have somewhat of an RPI Guru on our board and we follow it very closely every year. I can answer any questions y'all have.

    Good luck tonight and may the best team win.

    We are throwing Freshmen Righty Jack Burk. This is his first start, but he's showed promise so far this season. Definitely throwing him into the fire vs. you guys with your big bats. Our offense started extremely slow out the gates for the first week of the season but has since got somewhat back on track. I expect a hard fought game tonight and very much looking forward to the matchup!

    It may not today but they will be at least top 30-40 by seasons end.

    Going to be chilly - going to be 50 about game time which means it will feel like 42 inside the Love Shack (or icebox as Skill calls it)...

    Nope. But last I checked that's not a qualifier for knowing, loving, and having played baseball my whole life. I'm in Sales, and pay my bills just fine without baseball.
