[quote name="bball11" post="981266" timestamp="1299872358"] remember there is a reason why Kountze and HJ are good yr in and yr out, its because of the coaches!!! JUCO to divison 1 coaching is totally different I can promise you that, I would rather hire a good assistant  from div 1 school than a Head Coach at Lamar PA and thats 27 yrs old!!! [/quote] not saying hire not hire.... but he has more experience than Coach K did before his first headcoaching job.......... Bob Knight was 24 when he got his start as head coach

[quote name="UNLV" post="980903" timestamp="1299801609"] This team has been playing awful for the past few weeks. I put the blame on Tidwell. It is becoming clear he can't do both jobs. Time to find a new WBB coach. I'm not sold on Wells. He should have stepped up when Tidwell started slipping. [/quote] chowderhead

[quote name="Ryans Dad" post="979482" timestamp="1299612278"] [u][b]KEEP ROC[/b][/u] I would like to see some adjustments, but I think Coach Roc should stay.  He does need help with the x's and o's so add a good offensive coordinator.  He's doing good with the recruiting and he learned a lot under Tubbs and Calipari.  Another coaching change will keep this program in constant dissaray.  Lamar ain't no Kentucky, Duke or UNC.  The program needs some stability.  A big name coach will not stay in Beaumont or at Lamar very long.  Look no further than Tidwell, he's a keeper too. [/quote] what team are you watching?????

[quote name="UNLV" post="978811" timestamp="1299461790"] [quote author=WOSgrad link=topic=81297.msg978727#msg978727 date=1299443233] There is no need to bring back Tom (as Al Caldwell once put it) "Abadremarco."  He had nothing but disdain for Lamar and the Golden Triangle.  And by the time he was through sending the Lamar program into the toilet the Lamar students (of which I was one) and the Golden Triangle was sick of him.  He is not a good coach, he is not a good recruiter.  He failed at Lamar, he failed at Drake. The only thing he ever accomplished in basketball was being lucky enough to be on a bench as Jim Valvano's assistant when Thurl Bailey threw down a rebound on a Derek Whittenberg airball in the last seconds of a national championship game in 1983.  If he is the best that Lamar U. could come up with as far as a basketball coach to replace a hopefully soon to be gone Roc (who interestingly enough reminds me a lot of Abadremarco), then Lamar basketball needs to go by way of Lamar football in the 1990's and shut it down! [/quote]I am not saying LU will consider bringing him back, but I need to defend the truth. Abatermarco was an idiot who spoke without thinking. However I think he was the best X and O guy in Lamar history. Including Tubbs and Pat Foster. Had his mouth not gotten him fired, He would have taking Caldwell and Jackson to a top 25 and Lamar basketball would have never fallen off the cliff. Nobody can not tell me in all honesty that the team Tony Branch screwed up was not top 25 had Abatemarco been coach. Abatemarco has since apologized and said he grew up. He also said If Lamar asked, he would come. The man knows basketball. [/quote] the fact his name is even mentioned on this board is ridiculous..

Yes he is annoying, but he is a great X and O guy who can turn the program into a winner, not in 5 years but in the first year. Tom Penders would be my second choice sense many of LU players were his recruits. [/quote] Abatemarco is a fool [/quote] Abatemarco is winding up his first season as assistant at Colorado, correct?  Fool or not, he IS a better X & O coach than given credit for---just think his reputation here in the past puts him out of the picture before applications are even taken (if they are).  Just PLEASE don't bring back Newell [/quote] based on what?  his record as a head coach? some people arent meant to be head coaches, and abatemarco is one of em

[quote name="bball11" post="976522" timestamp="1299173488"] pudding tane, it seems to me that you get aggervated because basketball25 has some pretty good logic of what is going on and how the college baseball environment is!!! I mean I feel the stuff he is saying is right on the dot, no reason to get mad when someone knows what they are talking about and that knows the game so well. I think I know who basketball25 is and if its the person I think it is then he knows way more baseball than us I can promise you this! Lamar should dominate this conference with the tradition it used to have and the players it should be able to bring in, but Lamar doesn't so who's fault is that, I mean if lamar moves to another conference they would really struggle and get it handed to them but if lamar moved to another conference 6-10 yrs ago they could hang but now they can't even hang in the southland conference... [/quote] whatever..Arizona playing NDSU is ok, but its terrible for LU I could give a flip who he is.... I  get sick of the LU "is too good for x or y" and the "I'll support em if..." Just stop the yada yada and support the team.

[quote name="Texantagonise" post="976035" timestamp="1299125925"] [quote author=basketball25 link=topic=81127.msg975562#msg975562 date=1299115110] Arizona plays in the pac 10 so they can play teams like that because during conferene they are playing tough teams throughout the weekend, go look at se la schedule and compare it to lamar's and its not even close!!! [/quote] Am I  the only one that sees that this argument makes NO sense?  They play in the PAC 10 one of the top baseball conferences so how does a game against NDSU prepare Arizona for conference but not Lamar?  Your saying that once Arizona gets into conference play that will prepare them?    HUH!  The Southland is not near as strong as the PAC 10 so it should look WAY WORSE on Arizona side than Lamars.  All Andy Lopez cares about is wins.  He doesn't care about getting his team ready for conference.  I remember this same talk from last season and you were wrong.  Maybe this year you will be right!?!?!?  If not you will be back next year with the same ole tune.  Sooner or later you will be right.  Lamar can't win conference tournament championships every year, RIGHT? [/quote] dude's just spitting out jibberish ............

[quote name="time2time" post="975488" timestamp="1299110420"] "Here we go again" or "it's deja vu all over again" or "new day, same argument" - just go back and look at threads from last year's season and you will see the same arguments regarding scheduling, Gilligan, downward spiral, Bowden.  Look it's one game.  Just like when the Cards went on the road and thumped Rice, it's one game. [/quote] aw heck no..the ships sinking..we're terrible...yada yada yada... ::) arizona played NDSU ...i guess AZ sux also

[quote name="Bearkat25" post="974907" timestamp="1299029739"] I really do hope that you guys jump over to the WAC and beat the heck out of Texas State for being so arrogant! Ever since they joined the WAC their fans have been overly arrogant on fan message boards! If only they woud realize that they weren't the first choice to join the WAC. If you guys join and we don't just know that you've got one bearkat on your side! [/quote] San marcos Jr college sux

[quote name="basketball25" post="974332" timestamp="1298948423"] I'm a college baseball fan that wishes Lamar would play the teams they use to play, I've been around the game all my life and played at the d1 level but to see lamar play these type of teams is uncalled for bec 7-10 yrs ago this program was on the rise, I hope Lamar wins 40 plus games this yr but atleast play some descent programs that can prepare ur team down the road, other southland teams do it so why can't Lamar!!! I am talking about weekend series not midweek games either!! [/quote] exactly what part of  one run games or extra innings is not preparing your team?...be happy they won

[quote name="mffl" post="973827" timestamp="1298861276"] Look for changes within the coaching staff soon..... [/quote] maybe woodard is tired of dim whitten and his 2 plays

[quote name="bball11" post="974098" timestamp="1298914803"] RS- go look at the past 4 yrs at NDSU record and program and etc, its top 10 worse baseball programs in the nation!!!! Its worse than pview, texas southern, houston baptist......Lamar shouldn't be playing these teams, its not making them any better playing teams like this so use your head a little bit. [/quote] your posts are idiotic...looks to me like they gave LU all they could handle when you go looking at your ratings, factor in that they play on the road for the first [b]6weeks[/b] of the season..no home games till april

our bats are sleepy...

Bevil did have 2 fumbles...what else is new...

one final win before roc is shown the door, cuz [size=10pt]TEX ST[/size]. sux

[quote name="basketball25" post="973432" timestamp="1298764599"] Ndsu is horrible, one of these worse programs in nation!!!! Well that means Lamar needs to do some traveling then!!!! Texas st, se la, Sam, uta, utsa, always play tough teams so why can't Lamar!!!! The facility thing is a excuse and a cop out!!'nm [/quote] looks like one "of the worst teams in the nation" ::) hung pretty good today
