Lamar loses to Texas St. in OT


Recommended Posts

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="748843" timestamp="1264351555"]Last night's attendance of 3,454 is the largest crowd so far this season in all of the SLC.[/quote]

What's it with Lamar fans and attendance figures? First, the TXST attendance remark which was off by 4-5k and now this? Guess it's to be expected on a board in which non-Lamar SLC talk is not allowed...

UCA drew roughly 1,800 more fans last week for a win over Nicholls...

[quote]On the night the school retired Scottie Pippen’s jersey in front of a raucous crowd of 5,297, Chappell quietly reached a coaching milestone that has been 15 years in the making.[/quote]

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="748861" timestamp="1264354166"]Just going by what the PA announcer said last night. BTW, what's Sam's largest crowd this year?[/quote]

I am sure you can ask the PA announcer at Lamar! He seems to be getting good numbers from somewhere...  ::)

Looks like our top crowds were 1787 against TXST and 1564 against SFA. The TXST game was the first one back for the students while SFA was prior to the "re-arrival" after the break at semester and as I've said before, unlike Lamar, which relies on the community, SHSU basketball relies more on the students. Figure we'll start topping 2000 pretty soon and if in position for something special at the end, 2500 to 3000 easy, like it was in in 03.

Ask the players if they give a crap about attendance.  I bet they will all say yes.  Ask the AD if he cares about how many season tickets or even game day tickets are sold.  I bet he cares a lot since the AD budgets in the SLC aren't exactly overflowing with money, especially since it's a one and done league every year.

I'm still somewhat amazed the LU leads the SLC in attendance every year despite not having that many good teams.  I bet if LU ever tries to move up to a better conference, the attendance at their games will be a plus.

Careful AAW, I saw Sam Houston a couple of times this year and while their crowd was down (it was during the break) their club was pretty dog gone good.I have watched LU for years but they are gonna have to make some huge strides to beat the bearcats this year.

Who was talking about winning? The convo was about attendance, or in Sam's case, the lack of. ;D

I'm dreaming for a second.  Could you imagine if our men's basketball team had the success of SHSU's???  We are awful and we consistently draw over 3,000.  SHSU beats the crap out of us every year and only draws 1700???  That is pathetic!!!!  WTF is Marlin still there??  That dude can flat out coach.  He and Kaspar just put on a clinic when they play against us.

    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.  
    • The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
    • If I had to point out one team that has impressed me the most; Barbers Hill
