Lafayette sports radio have hurt feelings over Napier
Posted on 12/1/21 at 7:13 am

This week has been absolutely brutal on 103.7 in Lafayette. A lot of it seems to be coming from the fact that Napier didn't get the LSU job.
- the morning show, RP3 and Company, took a massive blow. Nick Diaz was producing it and he's all of a sudden gone for some reason. His knowledge of LSU, and college football in general, was carrying that show (despite him not being the host). It's very clear RP3 doesn't know college football that well. This morning he was explaining how ULL was a top 25 coaching job. Really??
- the 4:00 show used to be Ben Love, and his show was great stuff. He disappeared a few months ago, and I don't even know who is doing it but it's clear they are massive ULL homers, and are extremely out of touch with reality.
Monday they were sobbing through the show because Napier was leaving. They said they felt like he hadn't accomplished everything at ULL yet, and they wished he had stayed (meaning they didn't want him to leave until they reached a NY6 bowl).
First, Napier has pretty much reached the absolute ceiling at ULL. Second, it would take a whole hell of a lot to go right for ULL to ever have a legit chance at making a NY6 bowl. To expect him to stay until that happens is insane.
Yesterday there was a 30 minute shite on Brian Kelly fest on the show. As it went on, it became clear how clueless the host was, and that the hard feelings had more to do with Napier not getting it. "Nothing Kelly had done says he can win." (His winning % maybe does) "Kelly is not the right fit at LSU." "LSU needs stability, Kelly can't provide that." "Kelly's teams have not been able to beat SEC teams." (But he's not bringing his ND teams into the SEC). He then went out to create the perfect coach that LSU needs, and it was clear he was sculpting Napier. Then he gets to the end and even says, "somebody like Napier."
The delusion is real in Lafayette right now.

Why does that school exist in the first place?

I have nothing against them. I've got to watch quite a few ULL games this year. What Napier did at the program was remarkable. It seems like 50% of the few fans they have are completely out of touch with reality though.

I saw a billboard of Ben on Albertson's Parkway. He's an insurance agent now.

They wanted Napier here sooooo bad because they will never have anything else to lord over us (they will never ever be even close to the same caliber of program) and they saw an opportunity to have one if we got Napier. That’s it.

Well that sucks. His show was great. It seems they lose every good person they have. Kevin Foote moving to 103.7 was garbage as well. He's unbearable to listen to at times with all his negativity. I listened to him complain for an hour how bad the Astros had been playing for two weeks. Their record at the time over the last 10 games was 7-3

Typical Lafayette Tiger fan. Some of y’all wonder why Cajun fans have trouble pulling for LSU as a 2nd team.
God forbid that Cajun fans and a Lafayette radio station talk about UL. The audacity to focus on the local university.
SMH and y’all say we are obsessed with LSU.

This statement is so wrong. But not surprising.

I mean, I could say the same. Did you even read my post?

They talk about ULL all the time. That's not where the issue is.

It would appear to be true, to some extent, just from what I posted.

RP3 is so bad and has the worst voice in radio.

His laugh is annoying. Diaz helped carry that show along. Now they have some chick who adds nothing.

103.7 isn't worth a shite since Ben left.
But of course they have hurt feelings over Napier leaving--he's the best coach they've had and there is no guarantee that they get someone even remotely as good as him. I don't blame them one bit for being upset that they are losing him.
The idiotic takes on Kelly are spot on for that pathetic excuse for a radio lineup, though. Would have been really interesting to hear Ben's take on that hire.

ULL fans are passionate and I appreciate that. But they lack self awareness big time. Many I know feel they are LSU’s instate rival and we all know that’s just not the case.
However, if Napier had been offered the LSU gig, I imagine the ULL fans would have turned on him like they did Yvette Girouard. They were absolutely horrible to her and her family when she came to LSU.

ULL and Napier can GFT. We aren't doing risky bargain bin shopping.

Well this morning RP3 was saying how awesome it would be if LSU would play ULL in the independence bowl. So that shows you his knowledge of how college football works.

The ULL people are upset that we didn’t think enough of their coach and program to even consider him. It’s not even little brother syndrome anymore. They’re like distant cousin or aggravating kid across the street.

Well, he carried RP3, especially when it came to college football. If you know him, where did he go?

Oh, another golden nugget from the 4 show yesterday that I forgot about.
It's actually good that Napier didn't come to LSU because they will fire you two years after winning a NC. He will have a much better chance to succeed at Florida, because they will be more patient.
This is about as out of touch with reality as it gets. Florida was in the SEC championship game last year, and Mullen is gone. If Florida doesn't get the results they want within the first few years you'll hear them complaining about why they hired an unproven coach. His rope will not be any longer at UF.
