Another Shocker!!!


Recommended Posts

This is the exact problem I have with conference tourneys. For the most part, it makes the regular season completely meaningless. In my opinion the regular season champ should represent the conference in the NCAA tourney. I think the Ivy league is the only one that does that. It is not that big of deal in the bigger conferences since they get between 3-7 teams apiece. But, for small conferences like the SLC I think it would be a better idea.

Yep, you are right AggiesAreWe the winner will have the #1 seed in the NCAA tournament to look forward to competing against. SFA is headed to the NIT.

Bad deal for the SLC. Maybe one day they will learn it is better to send the conference champion to the NCAA Tournament than put on a conference tournament that will lose money.

Just another reason I love the SLC.  ::)

It just doesn't make much sense for the SLC to have a tourney.  The SLC would probably make more money by sending the best team to the NCAA tourney with a decent seeding and a chance to win at least a game and bring more money in than what ESPN pays for 1 game and barely any fans coming to the games.

I say do it like football.  Have the East champion play the West champion.  Play 1 game at the school with the best record.  So this year LU would have played at SFA for the right to go to the NCAA tourney and the loser goes to the NIT.  It would have a packed house and look good on ESPN2.  Do the same for the women too.

Oh before anyone states it yes I feel the same way about the woman's tournament. Even if Lamar does win the tournament tomorrow and I'll be cheering like heck they win, Texas State should be in the NCAA tournament because of their overall body of work.

Nope, if Lamar wins I don't think they should hand the bid to Texas State. I just think it is ridiculous in a one bid conference to make the champion earn the bid again.

Now, SFA knows how Lamar felt with their 25-4 record back in the 80's. Sucks, I was really hoping the Jacks would win.

The solution is simple. Build a team that no one in the slc can beat. Was Lamar that team? NO  Was SFA that team? NO

No top 8 slc team was far superior to the other. I hope Roc understands this. We need a Kenny Dawkins down low. There has to

be a JUCO C/F with speed, size, and ability to score.  Nabors has the speed and can score, but lacking in size.

Worrel lacks scoring ability.  Brown lacks scoring and size.  Custer lacks toughness. Roc needs to drop Custer off at Roberts park

during the summer to get that toughness.

Totally agree coachcola.  What is the purpose of the regular season?  At least the two division winners should get a first round bye.

Exactly....that way the 2 top teams get a reward for conference effort.

    • Bye Week beat Beaumont United by double digits so not all is bad 😁
    • He made the comment as a business man he hated overtime. He never said or implied he wanted to do away with it. He has said overtime should not be taxed. That will benefit the refinery workers in our area big time…..as well as nurses. Not only would you not pay taxes and see the benefit immediately on your paycheck, my guess that at the end of the year, you would subtract all the overtime from your total wages, thus lowering your taxable imcome.
    • Well I thought it would be a better matchup for us more so than us versus yall and we got whooped 🤷🏾‍♂️ we'll see, long time before Ball High meets Lufkin though. 
    • Very critical win for Crosby last night. At no point has the current regime given me any reason to think Crosby should be able to pencil in wins but for the sake of discussion I will for FB Kempner who we play two weeks from now and also Porter who we play a couple of weeks after that. That means if Crosby can beat Kingwood Park next week we’ll most likely finish district play 5-2 and in at least 3rd place.    That being, the team could be a lot better if we had a competent offensive coach. Crosby’s offensive philosophy is to give it to Yarbrough and hope he breaks it which is why we lose to team with above average defensive talent. Crosby’s TE Landen Hammer is 6’2” and about 210lbs with crazy ball skills, an absolute mismatch problem and got one target last night. Friendswood realized Crosby had some playmakers on the edges and lots of times gave the receivers a 10 yard cushion. The problem is that Willis doesn’t know that so not once did we just raise up, throw it out to the receiver and give them an opportunity to be an athlete and make a play. So now that we’ve averaged 8 completions per game through our first four contest because 50% of the time Willis chooses to swap out 50% of the offense we look like we “don’t have the receiving talent that we used to.” Yarbrough probably had close to 300 rushing yards last night but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had 35 carries. I like our backup RB but there are several kids who could help Crosby more at that position and Willis chooses not to play them there and feed Yarbrough to the point he couldn’t even finish the game last night. He continues to display an inability to efficiently use his personnel which is why we get blow out by any team with at least equal talent. Maybe something changes but Willis being 6-19 his last two and a half years on the sideline and his inability to shake the Cedar Park model don’t give much hope, which is unfortunate for the kids.
