Lamar website has an article about the Men's team going to Puerto Rico for some exhibition games the next three days. Does anyone know if any of these games are available to view?
-
He has big shoes to fill by not having Hamilton, I was hoping he would get an extra year.
- Yesterday
-
Comparing the roster to the signing days' releases I only see three missing names; Nehemiah Borner OLB from Duncanville, Aiden White DB from Athens and Roy Thomas Jenkins QB from St Thomas and previously Kelly and Westbrook. Anyone know what happened to these guys? I left out UAPB QB Mekhi Hagens who transfer made the paper.
- Last week
-
Looking through the roster it would appear that passing might be bigger part of the offense as there are several what you would expect as speed runners but maybe only one or two with enough size to be a smash mouth runner. I counter four quarterbacks, so I hope one of the three new or untested quarterbacks can step up.

Players Report to Camp, Football Season Has Returned - Lamar University Athletics Fall camp is officially here and now is time for the team to prove they can continue to build into a consistently strong program. There should be several goals for this season, first a third consecutive winning season, second a playoff berth and third a conference championship. You can argue that number three should be first but if you are still building then you need the first two.

Cardinals Add Post Player to Roster - Lamar University Athletics Glad to see Lamar added a post player transfer. Hopefully he will deliver what Coach is thinking he is capable of.
-
I was watching Channel 12 when they offered a tease that Cards were losing an offensive player. My immediate thought was either Longino or McCown. It probably makes more sense for Longino to leave--he's out of time. Too bad it happened so late. It will be hard for him to find a good fit at this point. Interested to see what McCown can do when he finally gets on the field.
-
Losing Longino hurt. Coleman plays hard and takes hits. Having a solid back up was nice. If we can stay relatively healthy I like 9-5 with a playoff win !
-
If it's 8-4, I'm guessing that's losses to: North Texas, South Dakota, Incarnate Word, and a split with SE Louisiana and SFA? I think 9-3 (if the losses are to UNT, USD, and UIW), I think they make it. But they definitely have to have "the look" of a playoff team. The Southland isn't seen as an automatic multi-bid league. Then again, if they beat USD, it'd be huge of their RPI.
-
I’m thinking 8-4, just missing out on playoffs. I don’t think we have the offensive firepower unless a couple of guys emerge who haven’t played big time football. Coleman is solid but I am not sure his QB play has inspiring enough to lift us over the hump… I sure hope I am wrong, though!!

The Cards were picked 4th in the Preseason Southland Poll. All the pundits are buying what Rosso is selling and are basically saying version of, "they have the highest ceiling of anyone in conference." While it hurt for them to point out the SE Louisiana loss kicked them out of the playoffs, it is encouraging to think "We were a missed FG from getting that win." What do you feel the 2025 football season will look like? Definitely going to catch more games this year. My life is less complicated in the fall... so I need to invest my time well.
-
We don't lose guys to mediocre programs. We lose them to CWS-caliber programs. I feel like we gained more than we lost. Sucks to lose what we lost but we still gained.

It seems to me the portal has turned the SLC in to the equivalent of a 4 year JUCO. Sure the big boys lose top players too, but with us it’s a given. I can’t fault the young man for taking what I’m sure was a lucrative offer. Thanks for the quality year you gave us and good luck.

https://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2025/jul/06/lamar-transfer-outfielder-damian-ruiz-commits-to-arkansas-baseball/ This is the world we live in, the world of the transfer portal. I guess we should be happy that we have the type of talent that one of the top programs in the country wants. Hate to lose him but we did get him through the transfer portal (Houston Christian)

Lamar MBB announced the signing of Quinton Sanders from Houston Wheatley. I tend to discount press clipping with "nobody signs bad players" but this guy looks like he could be special. https://lamarcardinals.com/news/2025/6/5/mens-basketball-cardinals-add-scoring-punch-in-quinton-sanders.aspx

The impressive part of that, to me, is that McNeese did that with only 5 home football games. It's 100% campus culture. Revenue be damned (though they'd still make revenue off them with apparel and concession sales), get students into the building creating a home field/court advantage for Big Red. Those of us who are early-Millennials and Gen-X remember what the Montagne was like in the late-80s and early-90s. Make it fun and exciting to be at games for students and the community.
-
Looks like another area that Lamar needs to improve on, especially in the rivalry with McNeese. Sixty thousand more attendance could help with recruiting and NIL potentially.

There was no mention of him during spring practice. Is he really coming back? We've known about the JUCO rule for some time.
-
Yes, for some reason they have given two-year JUCO players an extra year of eligibility, not sure if that rule applies to one-year JUCO players. Nothing against him but I hope one of the other guys beats him out for the starting job.
