How do you keep getting up? Cancelled season, broken heart, 2 hurricanes, damaged home, displaced family, shattered dreams, winter storm, historic flood, all within a hurting community? Jesus & a lot of people who love you. If that’s all you ever hear me say, that’s enough. 🤟

The 🇺🇸 flag got wet during last night’s intrasquad. I asked our youngest & newest players to lay it out so it could dry. I didn’t give them any other instructions. Spoiler alert: it’s not touching the ground. Well done young grasshoppers...

It had been 325 days since I was on this field with my boys.
There are parts that are still a broken mess, buts it’s my broken mess.
It’s good to be home.🤟

Why the bullpen? Everyone sees what you do in the game, but no one knows what all it took to get you to that point. The bullpen is where the work is done & success is earned. That’s where Coach Robe did his best work. 🤟
Tomorrow night will be the first time since 1981 that Coach Tony Robichaux hasn’t been in either dugout for a McNeese v ULL game. To honor him, join us tomorrow to officially name the Bullpen at Joe Miller Ballpark after 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐞.

Yes. A 2021 is a freshman. He hasn’t played a varsity game or asked a pretty girl to prom, but he has picked where he will get his degree from. No blame but the system is broken. Can we please fix it @ABCA1945 @NCAACWS

Seriously… where would college baseball be without @KendallRogers? He elevates the game & created a profession covering @d1baseball. Even though he hates our team - we should be thankful. 🤟⚾️
The @NCStateBaseball Removal.
I spoke on the record with the #NCAA and with various sources inside the @NCStateBaseball program.
Here are the facts:

On a recruiting visit, it’s really hard to sum up everything your program is about in a couple of hours. If I had to describe our culture with a picture - this is the one I would use.

My body is tired & my soul is weary, but my heart is full because of this. @Ricky_Ram_ is a former player & forever friend. He brought supplies that were donated by his community to help our community. I just can’t put it into words how thankful I am. 🤟

Over the past year, “for better or worse” took a whole new meaning. The storms took a lot & in many ways left us with nothing. I had you & I had Jesus. I guess the song is right -
“All You Need is Love.”
Happy anniversary to my girl. 🤟

Thank you to all who supported adding a 3rd assistant coach for our sport specifically our league @SouthlandSports and @KendallRogers - it would have never gotten this close without shining a light on this issue. This fight is worth it & its not over.

I’ve hesitated to share the struggle, but I’ve felt prompted to share more. It’s not for attention. Just letting you know you’re not alone & at some point, it’s gonna be ok. This was one year ago. I had no idea how much I would need these memories over the past 365 days. 🤟

We are where we are because of the folks who helped us get there. I’m thankful for a 23-year old head coach who tipped the scales for generations of McNeese Cowboys. I’ll do my best to always make you proud. #Robe #StandUp #GeauxPokes

Real talk. This is disheartening. A “no” vote is a selfish vote, plain & simple. As a 4-year volunteer and someone who has had 5 different volunteer coaches in 6 seasons, we need to make a change for the good of the game, our players & coaches. Stop with the BS.
BREAKING: Fan of a third assistant in college baseball? The @Big12Conference will likely deliver a crushing blow, voting ‘No’ on the proposal this week.

Good Friday. Jesus is the only one who ever claimed to be God, yet didn’t exalt himself. Why would He go through that for me? The only answer can be love. That great of love is outside my understanding, but I’m so thankful I don’t need to know it all to accept grace & mercy. 🤟
