Didn't 8-4 SFA beat 10-4 Drake at Drake? I gues Drake in the MVC is just sexier! ;D

Isn't it funny how everybody "KNOWS" something, but they don't want to post anything because they may upset their "SOURCE". Come on folks...WE are not journalists. It's OK to tell what you know. The PNG Gestapo won't come after you!

I have to agree. Ashton is not a D1 talent. He is an undersized post trying to play on the wing. Jay shot horribly also. Didn't expect to win, but sure as heck didn't expect to get embarassed again. We need bigger more athletic guards. Not neccessarily PG, but the two and three have to be able to defend these bigger teams. So if we win the SLC and get the bid, we will be a 16 no doubt with these piss poor performances against teams that will be 5 or 6 seeds at best and a lose to an attrociuos Indiana State team. Not sure if I am as excited now about our chances in conference.

Is it on the internet?

I hope they keep playing Memphis and it would be nice to get them to Beaumont one day. I suspect the only way we get Memphis here is if we win a few NCAA games and become a Butler/Davidson/Gonzaga type program. Then Memphis coming to BMT and loosing would not be a bad thing. One can only dream!

Do you play those guys much against Memphis or do you get them the extra rest before the conference schedule starts? I might play Coy and Skylar limited minutes, but let Tristan go full strength because he is a Senior and might not get another chance to play a top team like Memphis. Questionable though if you rest them or do they need to get back into game situations. Charlie Harper looked really rusty in his first game back the other night, so the game against Memphis may be needed for the four of them to get on track??

I heard Larry Tidwell on TV the other night before they played ND saying that they really wanted to beat ND so they could play ISU and not Niagra because They would beat Niagra easily and they wanted the ISU challenge. Might want to watch what he says in the media from now on.

Kentucky (with their big guards) was proof enough for me that LU will struggle to get shots off from the perimeter and LU may not live and die by the three against Mids and the other chumps that they have played, but against quality teams like Memphis, they need to get and hit open looks from outside because they won't score alot down low! However I don't see it being as bad as Kentucky because the WOW factor won't be as bad. Memphis 88 Lamar 68

Why would a coach want to start a season with a player that he leans on so heavily that will not be there when it counts (conference time)? As far as Green goes, if he is A.C.'s nephew and A.C. is his role model and positive influence then he will do well in life. Think he will get a shot in the NBA? 6'5" guy that shoots 40% from beyond the arc??

I am sure this guy has never coached High School. He has been at the collegiate level until this past year. What's he doing now?

If it is who I think it is, his only season as a HS HC was at the 3A level and was bad. That school ten years later is a back to back 4A state champ and #3 ranked in the nation.

But would UNT, ArkSt, ULM, ULL, and LaTech leave their conferences? It may or may not be economically feasible. Yes, but with the exception of LT they are in a conference that wouldn't be any different than the new conference. They would actually benefit with the travel. If a WAC, CUSA or MWC team went undefeated they would have a serious shot at a big money BCS game. If a Sunbelt team goes undefeated, they get to go to the New Orleans bowl (no shot at a BCS game). I agree 100% that UTSA is most attractive as a FBS school. I can see big things from a football starved (and crazed) big market town like UTSA.

1. Lamar 2. UTSA 3. UNT 4. TSU 5. Ark St 6. ULM 7. ULL 8. LT Not sure if you could get two others?? TCU, Rice, UH, SMU, UTEP would never leave their conferences because they could get BCS bids if undefeated seasons and in CUSA or MWC.

Wonder what happened to LSU?

So Jones from Central is PA News Defensive PLayer of the year and doesn't even make the BMT team at all? I have to say that as far as local sports (especially HS football) the Surprise is horrible. No doubt Beard should be Defensive MVP, but Jones should be on the team! Is Beaumont Central no longer in Beaumont???

When he has the ends to do it, they attack. For all his faults offensively, his defenses where very good. They may have been passive with the DB's, but up front he was aggressive.

We couldn't afford to feed Mangino! ;D But seriously, why are you guys so hung up on the Master thing? People get hired all the time that don't meet all the requirements set forth in the Job posting! I no for sure PNG will not be turning down any great applicant's because they don't have their masters.

PAM will never be North Shore. The reason why NS has so many athletes is because they have 4200 students. That's twice as many as PAM has to choose from. PAM can and should be a regular playoff team and have an occassional deep playoff run with the right coach no doubt, but the numbers will hurt them from being a yearly top 10. I agree with SFA on this one. Suggs!

You guys from Lumberton act like you are blessed with loads of D1 talent. What you have is a few pretty good players made better by a good coach. same thing at Nederland. Same athletes. That is no different than what PNG has. We just need that coach.

Ryan was pretty good under center. Tal was a better baseball player.

You do have good parking, but really does that matter to the HC? He want's state of the art field, top of the line pressbox with video equipment, big fieldhouse with video rooms, large equipment room, nice big weight room and state of the art equipment. LTown needs to pony up for AC! Givem' sumpin' to work with!

So at Craig's current rate (since at WB) he will be 187-55 after 22 years. Also he will be 33-22 in the playoffs. That would be 27 more playoff wins than Larry. Since every argument you make for your ridiculous claim that Haynes is a better coach than Stump gets shot down by facts, who's the idiot? You think I didn't know that HF and Newton were in the 3A district in 90 and 91. HF had Spencer George and Felman Malveaux in 90 and Lumberton (the largest 3A school in the state) who had double the enrollment of HF and Newton, had Ryan Verde and Tal Light. SFA had Randolph Barnes. But still Lumberton couldn't get one of those two spots and make the playoffs! I'm not a hater on Haynes, heck I never met the man. He is a good coach. But there are a lot of good coaches out there. But he is not a great coach. Not even close. And your claim he is better than Craig Stump is so ludicrous that it is laughable. Is Larry paying you to post or is this Kellen Haynes? 6-12 says it all! I'm done with you. Pretty sure from all of the other posters comments on this subject that they have you pegged like I do. Moron! Stick to baseball.

Haynes has coached in some poor districts and feasted off of those teams, but when the playoffs began his teams struggled. In 21 seasons his teams are 6-12 in the playoffs and have never made it past the second round. Ever! None! Zilcho! Yeah great coach. Oh and he was 4-6 in Lumberton the first year in 4A, but when Lumberton dropped down to 3A the next two years they went 7-3 & 8-2, but still missed out on the playoffs. So don't misinterpret that 19-11 record at LTown. Stump is 6-4 in the playoffs in four seasons at WB. So in four years Craig's teams have as many playoff wins as Larry's did in 21 years. Who's the better coach. Top 5 Area Coach. You are clueless! 1. Hooks 2. Barbay 3. Neuman 4. Stump 5. Credeur 6. Alvarez 7. Stowers (movin up fast) 8. Burnett (Head to head with Haynes MB has the wins) 9. Haynes Numbers don't lie baseball25.

The combined 118 ties the record for a title game. SS missed that last xtra point.

Remember LCM in the mid 90's. They had a few good years, but where are they now. One very good season and one good season does not make the Lumberton job more attractive than the PNG job. Lumberton has poor facilities, poor pay, same athletes as PNG and apparently is not supportive of upgrading those poor facilities or salaries. Seriously, why do you think Credeur would be thinking about leaving to begin with? Lumberton better do what it takes to make him happy and keep him around.
