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] KU is only a little over 30 minutes from KC

LC-M was up 6-1 in the 3rd

It is at Cowboys Stadium

And Texas has lost games to Brown and Hawaii......

With RPI numbers from today, what's left for LU 62. Southeastern Louisiana (3) 52. Houston (2) 48. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (3) 97. Sam Houston State (3) 215. Texas-San Antonio (3) 151. Northwestern State (3) 140. McNeese State (3) 93. Texas-Arlington (3) 130. Stephen F. Austin (3)

Clutch hitting has been down, but offensive numbers are down everywhere. SEC has hit 100 less HR's than last year, averaging nearly 2 runs less, etc. Still Lamar has an RPI of 86 now (better than traditional regional teams UC-Irvine, Nebraska, UL-Lafayette, Kansas State, etc..), owns 3 wins over Top 35 RPI teams and are tied for 3rd. Not exactly doomsday yet but overcoming the pitching injuries will be tough.

[quote name="hoops2000" post="988002" timestamp="1301028956"] I heard that the Hamshire Fannett program had some good young kids  and was  a program on the rise.  We played them a couple of years ago and was impressed with how hard their kids played.  They NEVER quit  and just kept coming at you.   Of course...seems like every team we play from the golden triangle plays hard. Silsbee might be running out of talent and their coach feels like he can win more at HF.  Haven't talked with him  but i know that he works very hard and his teams are always prepared. [/quote] He is a friend of mine and a class act, wish him the best of luck.

Capel was making 1.5 million at OU...........talk about a pay cut.

Please no Watkins

So what was the score at the end of regulation? 2-2?

Orangefield was leading Liberty 10-4 in the 6th

Dallas Kimball is better than LM or Ball

Still my pick to win state.

Anything at all?????????

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="970121" timestamp="1298408930"] Magnolia brings lots of noisemakers.  Pretty obnoxious fans, with poor sportsmanship.  It's sparked a rivalry between the two schools in recent years.  [/quote] You are right. I was covering a playoff game at PN-G and was stuck right in front of Magnolia's fans. Grown WOMEN talking smack lol, being a former Indian baseball player it was tough to stay quiet but the Tribe shut them up with a big rally to win.

Cards have used 14 different pitchers in 4 games to this point.

Last I saw game is in the 8th with one out LU has a runner at first. No ten run rule.

Ford and I can't remember the other guy. Get used to low scoring games. The NCAA has changed the bats this year to reflect wood. A&M only beat LeMoyne 3-1 last night

Expect LOW scoring games with the new NCAA rules on bats. The new metal bats are more like wood.
