Coach Deggs on TXST Series, Bounce Back, Aggressiveness & More

Louisiana Ragin' Cajun (30-20) baseball is coming off a competitive, but disappointing weekend at #13 Texas State (41-11).

Head coach Matt Deggs joined me on my show Monday, opening up about the disappointment of the Texas State series, the goals that are still in place, coaching aggressive, what goes into a decision to steal bases, the ceiling for Conor Higgs, Carson Roccaforte the All-American, and more.

If you missed it, you can listen here.

Louisiana will host Nicholls State this evening at M.L "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00.

Listen to the game on ESPN Lafayette, ESPNLafayette.com, and the ESPN Lafayette App. Pregame begins at 5:30.

LOOK: The story behind every NFL team name

Stacker delved into the story behind every NFL football team name. Overall team records, also included, are reflective of NFL regular-season games. There are some football teams with well-known nicknames—the Jets, for instance, are often referred to as Gang Green—but we also divulge how some teams’ official names are sparingly used (the Jets’ neighbors, the Giants, are actually known as the New York Football Giants). Sometimes a team name can tell you a lot about local history: The Vikings of Minnesota draw upon the area’s strong ties to Scandinavia, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are dripping in local legend related to Florida’s pirate past.

Let’s kick off the countdown with the folks who earned their nickname by buying boxes of used team jerseys.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
