LuSports Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 Does anyone know why the Lamar-McNeese mid-week baseball game was cancelled in Lake Charles? This is very unusual being so late. The rumor has it that Jim Gilligan cancelled this game because he did not want to go to Lake Charles. If so, what a true COWARD! Quote

Pretty harsh words from someone who doesn't know why it was cancelled. KABrother and Chester86 2 Quote
LuSports Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Posted March 8, 2016 Definitely not weather. The game was cancelled 2 weeks ago. Scheduled date March 22. Quote

Last week? They play Rice at home tonight. (Weather permitting.) Why were they playing anyway? Quote
LuSports Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Posted March 8, 2016 March 22, 2016. In a couple of weeks. Strange. Quote

LuSports Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Posted March 8, 2016 McNeese didn't cancel the game. The cancellation came from Lamar. Quote
UTfanatic Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 The Lamar AD lives next door, I will go ask him now. wait here! Quote
LuSports Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Posted March 8, 2016 Great! Hopefully Jason Henderson can clarify this cancellation. I can't wait to hear your answer!! Quote
Peppermint Patty Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 You are only permitted to play a conference opponent 3 times. Was this a non-conference game? If so, why even schedule it? Is there a rivalry trophy involved similar to the Rice/UH Silver Glove Series? Quote
LuSports Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Posted March 8, 2016 It was a non-conference game. This year in Lake Charles and one game next year in Beaumont. Quote
Peppermint Patty Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 Looks to me like he was avoiding having to play 7 games in 9 days. That following week-end is Easter and most schools play Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I would not call this an act of cowardice. McNeese will have 3 other opportunities. Just poor scheduling to begin with. Quote
Whoopi Goldberg's Lips Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Obligatory "Geaux Pokes!!" make y'all feel any better? Quote
LuSports Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 With the flooding in north Louisiana, McNeese State offered their baseball field this weekend to Lamar and Northwestern. The conference series was to be played in-between McNeese and HBU's series. It was ok'd by the southland conference officials, but not ok'd by Jim Gilligan. Jim Gilligan's excuse to the Northwestern coaches was only NOT in Lake Charles....... Again, WHY DOES JIM GILLIGAN NOT WANT TO GO TO LAKE CHARLES??????????? Thank you to the McNeese administration for reaching out and best of luck to all teams! Quote
