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!

Pretty harsh words from someone who doesn't know why it was cancelled.

[LuSports]

Definitely not weather. The game was cancelled 2 weeks ago. Scheduled date March 22.

What week are you talking about? Last week? 

They play Rice at home tonight. (Weather permitting.)

Why were they playing anyway?

March 22, 2016. In a couple of weeks. Strange.

Why don't you ask McNeese?

[LuSports]

McNeese didn't cancel the game. The cancellation came from Lamar.

The Lamar AD lives next door, I will go ask him now.

wait here!

[LuSports]

Great! Hopefully Jason Henderson can clarify this cancellation.  I can't wait to hear your answer!!

[UTfanatic]

He not home. 

Must be at work.

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?

 

[LuSports]

It was a non-conference game. This year in Lake Charles and one game next year in Beaumont. 

[Peppermint Patty]

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.

Obligatory "Geaux Pokes!!" make y'all feel any better?

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!

He doesn't like the food options for the team. Too much "all you can eat".
