The things about JJ Hays is how big he is for this level of college football for the WR position. He is 6-3, 215 and has good but not great speed. He does catch the ball with his hands instead of letting the ball get into his body. We have a transfer from UH at CB, but I haven't looked to see what team he is on but all our DB or 6-0 and under. Hays can out jump all of them for the ball which is why I was surprised he was taken as the first WR taken.

I heard Coach Tidwell has been watching her for a couple of years now. Good luck to the Lady Panthers.

Well another thing is JJ Hays wasn't the first WR taken at his position. We are strong there. By the way, he wasn't too happy so I expect he'll have a chip on his shoulder and play great tomorrow.

Personally, I'll take Texas State fan's over SFA any day.

Which player for the lady Panthers is Ramona Jones daughter? I'd like to watch her as I heard she is really good.

My step-fathers grandkids attend Starks HS in La and they always have a great WBB program over there. I believe their softball team is pretty good too.

How many of those 75 wins are versus sub DI schools?

More than half do.  ;)

Man, this is terrible. Can't even give the tickets away and no I don't want them either.  :D

Wrong, they may have forgot it but they were told in freshman orientation. Mirabeau B. Lamar.

Wow, I didn't know the WBB at CCS was that good. Congratulations!

Those were some great days when Al and Dave did the basketball games. I can't think of a better color man and play by play guy doing college basketball. They were great!

Sgt Rey, thanks for replying to my post. Best of luck to Bruce and may he get a shot somewhere. He is too talented to stop playing after HS in my opinion.

JJ, that is what I meant as I got my east and west confused. Kind of like going left when you are suppost to go right.  :D :D

Nah, with the talent at that position this year Coach Woodard is going to have a short chain on turnovers. All four guys are good and this is probably the most competitive position on the team. I personally don't see him naming a starter until after fall drills begin. It is still too close.

Mathematically, Lamar is still alive for the 8th place with two games remaining. I just don't see us winning. Isn't Texas State leading the Eastern Division?

I honestly think Coach Roc has lost the respect of the players and they are just riding out the last couple of games. Lamar doesn't win another game this year. Which sucks as I'm followed Lamar MBB since I was twelve years old.

Unless you are schduling Top 25 programs which we have every year Coach Tidwell has been here you are taking a chance in WBB. Because there are a number of reasons a team could be good one season a terrible the next. See Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Doesn't eveyone in the SLC schedule a couple of non DI games?

Sgt Rey, I've noticed you post time to time on the Lamar board. What is you connection with LU? Is Bruce thinking of coming to Lamar? I think he would be a great addititon to the Cardinal program as he is a very talented athlete and obviously has leadership skills. A couple of people were asking what Bruce's plans for college were so I thought I'd go ahead and ask point blank. Forgive me, if you take it as being rude. I and a few others were just wondering about your son's future plans.

You nailed it with your last statement. Only 4 SLC teams have a winning record and since they are in conference we don't have a choice. We must play the SLC conference schedule. Some of those "bad teams" you listed would do pretty good in the SLC.

[/quote] If only your winning percentage mattered, than teams would schedule cupcakes all year long. That's why 50% of the score comes from your opponents winning percentage, it means to be at the top you have to beat teams that are good, you can't get by with wins against Wiley College. [/quote] Actually, the women had a pretty good schedule. [Hidden Content]

Yep, Coach Roc has another year on his contract but instead of having to buyout two years of his contract we only need to buy out one. If Lamar doesn't want to fire him for some reason I don't know they can reassign him to another position within the athletic department for a year. I think Coach Roc sees the writing on the wall and he will be looking in a high profiled assistant gig if he hasn't already started.

Actually Jenna Plumley finished with a career high 35 pts and tied a school record for FT's making 15 straight.

Great season for Rick and the Lions. DP does a great job and the future looks for CCS.
