Lamar seems to have a decent team and has some gutty performers, but I guess they can’t find enough quality pitchers. Looks like the reliever in the 8th today couldn’t get it done I can’t figure out how they can beat teams that are pretty good in non conference, but when they get into conference play, they struggle They have a good season record as of today, however a not to sweet 3-5 conference record. If they keep going down this path, they are likely to be a middle of the road conference team. Hopefully they will get it going in a positive direction

I feel for the Lamar softball team. They just don’t compete very well under Hooks leadership Appears as of today that they will finish in the middle to the bottom in conference play

That is a good point, however Lamar is probably not going to do that INO Lamar’s athletic staff as well as the president of Lamar are happy with mediocre results

Not going to happen, so they will continue struggling in the recruiting aspect. What the city of Beaumont with the help of Lamar is to revitalize the South Park area close to the college. Probably won’t happen and as Trump would say what a dumb statement by AggiesAreWe. I enjoy most of your post. however that was inappropriate I was stating why they struggle recruiting and those reasons are Hugh part of it. You think that is why they struggle in every athletics program !!!

Point well taken. Simply stating recruiting at Lamar, a commuter college with very little athletic support is very tough. The college is ugly, in a poor part of town and refineries right next to the gym makes recruiting tough. I am sure Brooks is doing the best he can do That being said, their season is over unless they are invited to a tournament of the Rinky Dinks

You are correct it is about the players and Brooks struggles recruiting but I have to admit that he should be SLC coach of the year this year. My post is very accurate on being in an extremely weak conference A rating of 20 in conferences is pretty poor(30 last year was awful)

Thank you for acknowledging that they are in a weak conference!

McNeese has a decent team, however they will be 1 and done in the tournament due to an extremely weak conference

Sorry I meant 20-13 after today’s loss

Yes a much better season under Brooks this year 20-14 after today’s loss is much better than the past few years and a 2nd place finish in conference is a plus Maybe they can continue to improve next season!

If Lamar does what they usually do, they will lose their 1st game. Hopefully better this year!

Well they are capable of playing well. 10-5. Just struggling in conference right now. Hopefully things will get better

We will see how they respond this week. They started out well, but for some reason always struggle with UTRGV. Hopefully they will get pitching and hitting going again. They always struggle with SLU also, so I see them losing that series also

They split the divisions in FB, so it makes since to split them in other sports as well. FB Marshall only beat BH by 10 so I don’t know if they could have beat WB or not

Another nice win for Cardinals 9-1 with 8 w’s in a row. SLC begins Friday Keep on rolling Cards

Playing well Cardinals, keep it up

They are now a dismal 7-6 playing mainly Rinky Dink teams. I was incorrect on at least 40 more losses than wins. It appears that is actually 87

The Bulldogs had a good defensive end that some called a LB’er, however he was a defensive end. One of the LB’ers was decent, but the smaller one was not good(I don’t know if I ever saw him make a tackle). He started but looked like he was afraid of contact. He must have started after the one they said was good got hurt in the 1st game and was out the remainder of the season I am sure they had some good moments but nothing great. Certainly didn’t play well vs Texas High, Huntsville, Montgomery, Silsbee, or Lake Creek. The defense was pretty poor in those games!

Not pessimism, just facts. They have been poor ever since they got rid of Bruder. I understand that they had to do that, however the AD at that time who knew nothing about hiring qualified coaches quickly hired his buddy Hooks. Evidently she was a good hitter at Texas, but since she has been head coach at Lamar, their hitting is bad. They do good if they can get about 4 hits a game and the pitching staff is very weak. She had a winning season her 1st year with Bruder’s recruits and a good season last year. Other than those 2 seasons they have been atrocious She has about 40 more losses than wins. What good team have they beat this year?

Just got beat by another Rinky Dink that few have heard of IUIndy. 6-5 after today and probably 6-6 after tomorrow and they continue to keep Hooks even though her record is HORRIBLE Appears that Lamar doesn’t care about softball!

Why is Lamar’s softball schedule site so poor in keeping up with their score updates during their games I guess their recruiting is weak as well as the coaching because they struggle with the Rinky Dink teams they play. Texas, Tennessee, and maybe Tulsa are the only respectable teams they have played so far and of course they were destroyed in all of those games. They are barely beating the Rinky Dinks and got beat by UTC today.

Yes another fine outing for Lamar and hopefully a sweep tomorrow Just need to keep improving as the season progresses myrecordwashorrible is doing an excellent job of keeping us informed with his post

They better get tremendously better on defense. They haven’t played good defense in the past 7-8 years. They need some coaches to teach secondary players how to play. Those positions have been extremely bad. LB’er play hasn’t been much better. Also have to get the OL much better and find a QB and receivers. The new coaching staff will hopefully teach for improvement

Thanks for beating me to punch and keeping us up to date with the Cards myrecordwashorrible

What a fantastic 8th inning of offense today to secure a 7-4 win. The Cards were down 4-0 headed into the bottom of the 8th and came up with some clutch hits to secure the win. 5-1, an excellent start to the season
