Explain?

Apparently now they expect us to loose to Utah Valley State since last week they had us at 21-9 and 11-5.

Yep. I still say in 2010 he would be great on Woodards defensive staff! I would love to see his attacking defense at LU.

Haynes better than Stump?? What you smokin'? Is that you Larry? ;D Larry's gotta be, what 50 years old? In 26 years of coaching, how many state title appearences do Larry's teams have? What's Larry's playoff record? Larry is right were he needs to be 2A Hardin. Doubt he brings them a state title either.

its being done!!! ? ? ? ?Explain? ? ? ?

I'm pretty sure if he puts his name in the hat he would be the choice. Don't think we will need to petition anyone other than Craig himself. But if he ultimately isn't interested then oh well.

1. Coaches rarely say they are interested publicly. 2. BMT pays all three coaches the same. $73,000. If they want to give him a raise of $20K then it will cost them $60K. 3. The PNG job will pay $90,000 to $95,000 that has already been established. 4. He is not AD at West Brook.

Danaher is too old and he is setup at Callalen, plus he is a south Texas guy. Not gonna happen. Better shot at Stump. Remind me again why Craig Stump wouldn't be interested. Pro's: 20K+ raise Athletic Director Better facilities Only show in town Better following Better school district for his kids Con's: Overall talent Staff not his Also: He can win a state title at PNG just as easy as he could at West Brook. The talent may be better, but so is all the competion at the 5A level. Win at PNG and he will get just as much media attention, if not more, as he would get at West Brook.

You may be correct, but PNG has seperate AD's for Mens and Womens sports.

I agree it makes the win against Tech less impressive, but don't forget (even though they don't count) LU put a pretty good whoopin' on UTEP in a pre season game situation scrimmage in SA.

Yes, but consider these people may have ignored the results. LU losing at TXST? Very intriguing...I can see LU splitting with SHSU, if our team continues to grow in the right direction. I do not see a Marlin team getting swept by the Cards, but you guys are presently the class of the conference, so perhaps... You barely beat Jarvis Christian at home! I see LU and several others sweeping Sam this year. Sam may return the favor next year though as LU will be young, but full of underclassmen talent (Miles, Harper, Custer, Williams, and Nabors returning). As for Tx St. that run and gun style on a good night at home against our run and gun could lead to a close one and since they are home team I give them the early edge. Now that may drastically change as the season progresses.

We keep beating the Big 12 schools that do play us at home and none of them will want to play us at home! I would think that we could get Baylor here and UH as well. I know LT is not very good right now, but I think that could be a nice draw because of the old rivalry. Same with ULL, which I suspect will be coming in here next year. I would like to see a return on all these Memphis games one of these days, though it will probably never hapen. TCU would be a fair draw as well and it seems like Billy could help make that happen. I thought we might get a 2 for 1 with OU at some point with Billy's connections, but it never happened. I'd like to see us drop down to 2 DII and DIII chumps and replace those with at the least local SWAC. Or better yet UA-LR for better competition.

The ISU loss was actually on Sunday and we dropped in last weeks poll after loosing to UK and beating Ohio. I can't see LU going 11-5 in conference nor do I see SFA at 12-4. I think both teams will end up with better conference records. LU-13-3 Losses @SFA, @TS & @UTA SFA-14-2 Losses @UTA & maybe @SELA Just one mans opinion!

Tatums problems were not his arm or his accuracy. His problems were the playcalling and being on his back all year because the defense pinned their ears back everytime he dropped back to pass. That tends to happen when you only throw on third and obvious! Did you even see him play? Glad Bevil will be in the fold. Just wonder how the switch from a run oriented option offense to the spread will suit him. The good news is he will have a year to learn it and adjust. Saw him play against Ozen last year and didn't have to see him play this year because he didn't improve. I worked with Tatums uncle, met his father(before he died), and know his grandmother. But he still isn't college material @QB. Maybe he can play safety or something.... Trust me he (Tatum) won't be playing Safety. SLOOOOW! They got him as a QB and a QB only. He may be a backup his entire career, but he not be changing positions. I think WOS ran the spread when he was there, but it was a run first spread offense. Shorta like what UT ran with VY.

One of the Best coaches in Texas? : One of the best in the area, but Texas. No way. He has done good things in Lumberton in his short tenure, but you have to get your team into a couple of State Title games before you are a great coach in Texas. 2-2 in the playoffs is far from it! You Lumberton folks crack me up! ;D

Tatums problems were not his arm or his accuracy. His problems were the playcalling and being on his back all year because the defense pinned their ears back everytime he dropped back to pass.

Tech short handed :. Wow...Check the stats. LU played 8 players. Harper, Nwevo, even Nabors. Sure would be nice to have them as well. If Nwevo is not well soon, why not redshirt him this year? then we go into 2009-2010 with Nabors, Nwevo and Custer at the 4-5 spots.

Did you even go? I said if they announced 6700 for BYU, then this was 8000. This crowd was bigger than that crowd.

There were more people tonight then last years BYU game and that crowd was announced 6700. Not sure who was counting tonight, but I think they were wrong. Looked like 7500+. Tech couldn't handle our speed tonight. KD, Skyler, Bubba, and even JB took it to them ever chance they got. We also stepped it up on defense and kept their guards from getting open threes. The best team won tonight.

I call BS on the total count tonight. Last year when BYU came in they said there was 6700. Tonight there were way more than the BYU game. I would have guessed close to 8000. They announced 6180. No way!

I know what was missing in the 1st HAFE....The "L". Broncs will put it on 'em in the second HALF! ;D

Without the Masters I think this is a dead issue, but: 1. PNG has not been running Longs offense the past several years. He was more aggressive and less predictable, but he was also handcuffed by MB. Fact 2. People want to point out that while at Kelly they didn't have great success, but most people forget or don't know several things about Kelly: a. They have roughly 450 students. That would make them a very small, border line 3A. b. They tend to play 4A and much larger 3A pre-district. c. They pay very little. Most people equate Kelly as this rich school, but it is not. The kids may be rich kids, but the staff is payed less than public school. Therefore small staff. d. Despite not winning the TAPPS title in 2007 they had a very good year 10-1 and beat some good teams handely in the process. And were fun to watch offensively with a QB that Long helped develop. In the end he probably wont be the hire, but I would not be unhappy if they decided he was the man for the job (sans the Masters). And most of the guys that I talked to that played for him say the same. Also the folks I have talked to from Kelly really like him because he has interest in the whole athletic department unlike Stump (great coach) before him.

I say under, but just barely...6400 I hope I'm wrong. Tech without Bob Knight on the bench is not a big draw. BYU was a bigger draw because of the local Mormans, which suprised me in the numbers. Half the crowd that night was there to cheer for BYU. If 6500+ show tonight they will be predominantly LU supporters!

Our guards should do a good job containing theirs and we should be able to get off some good shots outside (unlike at UK) because their guards are not real big. Our biggest hurdle will be whether or not we can guard their big guy out to the three point line. They have a center that will step out routinely and knock down a handful of trey's.

Hope your right coach. You are kidding right! No way that happens. Florida just beat the #1 team in the country. Human polls will probably have them #1 and computer polls will have them #2. Texas may actually be ranked #4 in the BCS after today with Bama at #3. But no way UT gets in now! Go Jags!
