[/quote] You need to accept who we are. We are a 2nd year program that went 5-6 last year and only beat 2 FCS teams. We have to remain patient, good teams aren't going to want to come here unless we're a worthy opponent. [/quote] Your preaching to the choir, but, I know pretty darn well the mentality of "Joe Southeast Texan" and in spite of our being patient and our desire for "Joe" to be patient, it aint going to happen.  When you get to year 3 & 4 and the schedule it littered with Texas College and Incarnate Word, it will be just you and I sitting in the stands. [/quote] you guys are a joke..langston dropped em, had to pick up ANYBODY..kinda like LU hosing SD...what comes around goes around... lessee..aTm, baylor hawaii, okie st on future schedules... 2nd year and y'all are bitchin like old women

[quote name="basketball25" post="997355" timestamp="1302802820"] just think if Lamar would schedule some tougher non conference weekend series games and bring in tougher teams for there tourney because  there rpi would be just like South eastern la right now because that NORTH DAKOTA ST series is killing them right now with RPI rating [/quote] or just win the games on their schedule, win conference and the tourney...

[quote name="NorthoftheBorder" post="995793" timestamp="1302547119"] Interesting to see ULM, ULL & Western Kentucky, all SBC schools in the top 20.  Only Utah St I noticed was from the WAC although I thought that San Jose St was pretty dismal in attendance. [/quote] aw you know that...SBC and WAC are pretty much hand in hand as far sucky attendance goes ULM oughta be Div II

[quote name="KingSnake" post="995024" timestamp="1302321050"] If the top of the batting order could buy a hit, it might help a little.  These guys look so lost at the plate.   3 hits for the game?? At least there weren't more errors than hits. If Buchanan didn't get a few walks each game, he wouldn't even know where first base was. [/quote] ...got one of the highest ob% on the team :o

It's essentially killed off all their other sports. Many of the sports that they were known for prior to going FBS and even when still in the Southland, have fallen so far off the back of the bus - its embarrassing. They are probably the worst-funded FBS program in America, but guess it's okay since they beat that school in Alabama a few years back. [/quote]They get Baylor at home, we get Panhandle st at home. [/quote] you are a whiny thang

see..we can dog our conference and our team...but an outsider from DII trying to get a job here?  bad business

aw krap

In any event, it is an excellent reminder of what some of the issues are with Abatemarco. [/quote]There is no issues. The man's mouth got him in trouble early in his career, just like Evans is doing. Nobody wants to give him a second chance. I am sick of a former great basketball program as Lamar in chronic losing, especially in the SLC. I would give him that second chance. He is desperate to prove himself. [/quote] drake was his second chance..blew that..sac st...blew that..dude's a loser..end of story

I will say what I said then... He will do a good job for us. [b]I agree with Lazeek and it will be even better if we can get Matt Cross to join the staff. [/b] [/quote] Would it be better to be a top Ju-Co coach that has an outstanding winning percentage, or an assistant coach at a below average mid-major program? [/quote] i'm for a head coach..

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="992381" timestamp="1301866744"] Yep. 5-1. 5 runs in a series won't get it down. Mena has to come out of the lineup. Even if you are giving up some defense. He isn't cutting it. [/quote] no room in any college infield for a .190 hitter.

[quote name="LamarFanatic" post="992211" timestamp="1301796066"] O just curious unlv who are you wanting to be the next coach. [/quote] UNLV?  he's made it clear..[b]HE WANTS A PROVEN LOSER[/b]!

The Southland ain't the Big XII, that's for sure.  If Knight can run a program, I think he'd have a good chance of success here.  Of the rest of the guys, I don't think Sutton is actually in the running at all because of the legalities; Cyprien bothers me because of the whole resume thing at USL, and I'll admit I don't really know much at all about Monarch or Seltzer. Frankly, I'm glad that Evans was honest/loud-mouthed enough to make it clear he really didn't want to be here, and his heart is in Oklahoma.  I think he'd have been a fine coach--his resume was very impressive, but if he really doesn't want to be here, we're probably better off without him--he'd have left the first chance he had to upgrade, anyway. As far as excuses, UNLV, there are none.  This is still an awful conference, with three or four schools that shouldn't even be Division I.  Any good coach, given decent recruiting abilities, should be able to win given the advantages in facilities, funding, and fan base that LU has over most of the Southland. [/quote] [/i]Lubbock has got to be about the most difficult place on the planet to recruit basketball players to.  It's a medium-sized town in the middle of absolutely nowhere; it's virtually all white[/i] hmm..sounds like Kansas! [/quote] KU is only a little over 30 minutes from KC [/quote] 30 minutes in Kansas equals a week in hell..altho, i think 30 minutes in Lubbock =2 weeks...

[quote name="UNLV" post="992102" timestamp="1301768917"] This coaching hunt is turning into a circus. We won't get anyone good. Evans is an idiot. If he had the job, he should have taken it. He will be assisting for a long time. Anyone for Abatemarco Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah? [/quote] they are waiting for the tourney to be over so they can announce its calipari...
