All this is true but to me the game is more fun to watch now. And there are still plenty of kids in this area that play with the same amount of fire and without fear. I feel lucky that I get to see a lot of them play and progress from underclassman to college careers and possible NFL draft picks.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="812008" timestamp="1276387657"] Chad Allen from Coldspring lines up at half back, takes a lateral from Halston Flanigan of Newton and tosses a halfback pass to Doug Higginbotham of Cleveland for the first score. West leads 7-0. [/quote] A lot of the players are wearing all types decals like the Senior Bowl. But Higginbotham is actually wearin an Anahuac helmet...CONFUSING lol

What a killer conference for baseball, this is assuming Baylor has passed Colorado which has been rumored. EAST xx Arizona State (50-8) xx Texas (49-11) xx Oklahoma (47-15) x Texas A&M (43-21) x Baylor (36-24) x Arizona (34-24) Oklahoma State (29-26) Texas Tech (28-29) WEST xx UCLA (46-13) x Oregon (40-24) x Washington State (37-22) x Oregon State (32-24) x Stanford (31-25) x California (29-25) Washington (28-28) USC (28-32) xx- Super Regional Teams x- Regional Teams

Lamar dropped the ball last time G left, they had a shot at Wayne but said they wanted someone with D1 experience.

Arizona fell out of the NCBWA poll this week they were 28th. Even more important for LU to win game 1 the high in Fort Worth Saturday is 101!

[/quote] He just wants to keep getting interviews so he has to support him [/quote] Nice try. I don't have to support anyone.

Expectations are high and Lamar fans got spoiled during their 3 year run. But let's be honest we are still a mid-major and it's the only sport that we have that we have besides golf that can compete year in and year out. It's just hard to say a program is down when they had a down regular season after filling holes with new talent this season. I'm at 30+ games a year so I see the team day in and day out. I'm not questioning your baseball knowledge at all I'm just saying it would make no sense to run off G.

Stats are not excuses. Add these to the past few years at the SLC Tournament 09- Semifinalist 08- Runner-Up 06- Semifinalist 05- Runner-Up The program is not down and any team in the league would be happy with the results over the last decade.

Just showing Lamar past results at regionals. That's all of them.

LU won the East Division in 07 and 08. I wouldn't say they have been down. Sam has been middle of the pack and got hot in 3 straight conference tournaments just like Lamar did this weekend.

And they've finished like this before under G. Look at Sam this year I guess they should make a change too.

He was actually a volunteer assistant my junior year in 1997 with Recio at PN-G then Lumberton and back to PN-G.

Exactly. Even if he told players he has not officially resigned. And he could possibly change his mind. After an emotional loss things like this happen. When Recio resigned we knew for months as players but the story wasn't reported til it was official.

Coach Stone texted me this morning, he isn't sure where they got their info because nothing is official yet. I was expecting him to coach 1 more year.

So is Gilligan done, didn't think so.

PNG Pitcher called for a balk with 2 outs in the 9th allowing Friendswood to score winning run.
