    Congratulations to the Texas Extreme for winning the 11 AA Governor Games.  The runner-ups, the GTB Gunslingers had the best showing of their season.  We (Gunslingers) went 3 and 2 and beat the number 1 seed of the tournament.  The boys brought their bats and actually showed that they know how to use them.  I just hate that they waited until the last part of the season to start showing up.  Best of luck to all teams as they push to the different world series.

    Can Jasper make all the plays? That will be the biggest thing. They have to slow down the OF offense and make all the plays when the Bobcats put the ball in play.

    Jasper has scored their fair share of runs.

    I wonder what the true reasons are for such a high fee to play the games.

    I do know most college athletic institutions lock all their athletic programs into contracts with a food&drink service that it is requires their employees sale the products and they independently earn all money being generated from sporting events.

    As for the field use, that interests me.
    I do know Coach Gilligan Ricklefsen and Hatten would want all teams in playoffs to perform on their field, they support local programs, coaches, and players the best they are allowed to do under NCAA Rules. Id assume they have their hands tied and cant do much to resolve this situation.

    Ive personally been wanting to work on taking it a step forward to finding an independent sponsor to conduct a high school tournament in late February for a Super 8 Baseball Tournament, but if the fees were to be enormous, this just could not be feasible.

    PR is huge for the LU program and its a shame IF the administration or their institutional-controlled guidelines are the road block based on finances only.
    Lamar has a fantastic field and stadium to view ballgames and Id like to see someone go internally to see why the field fees are so high.
    Or is this really the main issue to using the field for big stage ballgames.

    When at McNeese State, we sent out letters to all parish(county) high schools to offer them a selected game on their schedule to play on McNeese's field. We only charged an insurance fee, had formal documentations signed, we gave the schools 50-50 gate and had no extra fees on top.
    We had our redshirt college players work the field and had a representative run the scoreboard and announcing.
    For the rival high schools, Barbe & Sulphur games, we would get over 1000people through the gates which was good PR for our program.
    Lamar can manage this in the same way if done properly with a minimum fee.

    At the end of the day we are all supportive of all SETx high school programs, regardless if they are YOUR school or not, baseball fans will come out to support another local team in the playoffs.

    I agree with the coaches strategy comment. They will change thier minds numerous times between now and tomorrow night on rotation. Hope its a great series.

    do you have a problem with me?  when i ask questions you always have a smartbutt remark to make.  can you be an adult and just keep your mouth shut?

    sorry to everyone for putting this in this thread but geez
  6. this question was kind of passed over in a previous thread.

    we already know that LU plays SFA this weekend at LU so any games there are not happening.

    LU supports basketball with warm-up games at the Center and the YMBL tourney.  how come not too many baseball games esp this time of year arent played at the Beck.  HOLD AREA OR REGIONALS THERE!  with the locals team in the area LU would be a great venue for games.


    everyone get to WB early!!!!

    Joey...on your way home bring me a bacon cheese burger with onion rings please!!!!
