TradinUp BH Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 Any predictions on next year win-loss record?I say 7-4, 4-3 in SLCLangston University WIN at South Alabama WINIncarnate Word WINat Southeastern La* WINNorthwestern St.* WINat Texas St. LOSSC. Arkansas* WINat Sam Houston St.* LOSSStephen F. Austin* LOSSat Nicholls St.* WINMcNeese St.* LOSSAlthough, I think we could beat McNeese at home, and possibly pull one out against either Texas State or SHU.
ForeverADog Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 Agree with you Scalp em except for at South Alabama. Not sure we win that one.
TexasTerror Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 "The only thing is we're hoping the McNeese game won't be our last one. One of our team goals is to make the playoffs in our first year of eligibility." Only way to do that is winning the league title, Ray. Your OOC schedule is brutal with two quasi-FBS programs (USA, TXST) and two sub-Div I foes (Langston, UIW). Doubt you get seven Div I wins with it...

JJWooten Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 If I had to make a prediction:Langston University WIN at South Alabama LOSSIncarnate Word WINat Southeastern La* WINNorthwestern St.* LOSSat Texas St. WINC. Arkansas* WINat Sam Houston St.* LOSSStephen F. Austin* LOSSat Nicholls St.* LOSSMcNeese St.* LOSSThat puts you at......5-6, maybe you can beat USA, but I dunno. I'm going with my gut since it's your 1st away game, and Langston isn't really a great warm-up game.
epg2793 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 Everyone is picking us to beat Central Arkansas but they are a legit team.
1KatKiller Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 McNeese will be better next year than they were this year. I don't know if that'll equal a Lamar loss but just saying, they'll be much better next year.

[/quote]A lot of that has to do with it being your Homecoming. A lot of factors are different in games like that. If you look at their schedule last year, they only beat non-DI teams handily, and then TSU really. Overall, they were an average team in the SLC that was right on the win/loss line.
ForeverADog Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 How good are Nicholls and Northwesten? I know they are nothing special historically.

[/quote]Northwestern was VERY good last year, and was tied with SFA for a few weeks, but ended up losing to SFA in a close game.Nicholls is a very up and down team. They can be REALLY bad sometimes (I think we sacked them 12 times last year) and then sometimes they'll come out of no where and look like a playoff team (beating TSU on the road in 4OT and beating NWST late in the season)

He's very explosive.SFA won't have a new system, they lost their OC to West Virginia and picked up a coach out of West TAMU, which runs basically the exact same offense, they'll just have a different guy in the pocket throwing to the same receivers.
bigred360 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Northwestern State has a history of being good; although down for a few years. Last year they were very competitive in the SLC.I've been to a few practices and several of our guys look a lot bigger and faster. I can't say they are stronger as I haven't seen a real scrimmage yet.We will be heavy with seniors who have been part of a team for a few years (even though we've only played one season). I can see us being up there where Puddin thinks at 8-3 or another 5-6 season. I think a lot has to do with the O and D line and if we can develop a running game to help the defense by keeping them on the sidelines for several minutes at a time; by having long drives instead of a few long throws and a quick score or going three and out on several possessions. JMHO

JMHO [/quote]I definitely don't see 8-3, only because that would make you near perfect in conference, and even SFA, with their All-American, Payton award winning QB, lost 1 game and had some scares along the way.I do agree with you on the last part. You've got a SOLID defense, but the problem is conditioning, and the fact that the offense going 3 and out, doesn't help them out at all. They spent a lot of time on the field, and after a while, it's tough to sustain any defensive momentum. If the offense can practice ball control (including running the ball, sorry Puddin), then it will give the defense some time to re-coop.
bigred360 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 The only way you can't see us going 8-3 JJ is because you don't think we can beat SHSU, right? Otherwise, these are the W's I think we "can" have.[b]Langston University [/b] WIN at South Alabama LOSS[b]Incarnate Word [/b] WINat Southeastern La* WIN[b]Northwestern St[/b].* WIN at Texas St. LOSS[b]C. Arkansas[/b]* WINat Sam Houston St.* WIN[b]Stephen F. Austin[/b]* LOSSat Nicholls St.* WIN[b]McNeese St[/b].* WINI'm not saying we will win all these games but I do think it is possible.
TexasTerror Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 I got you at 4-7, though 5-6 would not shock me... the SLC is going to be pretty balanced this year. I think NWST, McNeese and then SHSU are the top three teams in the league next year.. Langston University WINat South Alabama LOSSIncarnate Word WINat Southeastern La* WIN or LOSS (Lamar will drop one of two games in the 'Cajun Corner)Northwestern St.* LOSSat Texas St. LOSSC. Arkansas* WINat Sam Houston St.* LOSSStephen F. Austin* LOSSat Nicholls St.* WIN or LOSS (Lamar will drop one of two games in the 'Cajun Corner)McNeese St.* LOSS
ForeverADog Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 I honestly think every game on our schedule is winnable. However, no way we win them all. It is just to hard in such a balanced conference.
puddin tane Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 we might go 1-10, but.........we will not, can not..i won't allow us to lose to [size=10pt]tex st[/size]...I'll break out some puddin black magic...mark it down..LU will beat [size=10pt]tx st[/size]i think Sam is gonna have a very good team...i hate them too.....

Now that you've given us the results for 2011, it will be like watching tape of a game you already know the outcome too. Lets just move on to 2012. ;)

coachacola Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Lamar will win 6 or 7 games next year.
