Lady Cards Offer Family Pack for Dec 29 Game from lamarcardinals.com If anyone hasn't had a chance to check out this year's Lady Cardinals, Sunday's 2:00pm game against Rice looks like a great opportunity. It would be great to have a good crowd on hand. Sounds like a fun game to me. They would be great for late purchases too. :) http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/122113aaa.html The Lady Cards and Owls have had one common opponent. Both defeated Texas State in home games. Rice won 74-61. The Lady Cards won 68-55. The Owls are 5-6 while the Lady Cards are 5-5. The Owls have split against SLC teams defeating McNeese 65-54 in Lake Charl…

Lamar up by eight at the half 42-38. Good first half can we keep it up in the second?

In another post, Lamar1 wondered how our spending in basketball compared with the other universities in our conference. Below is the comparison. The data source is the US Department of Education "Equity in Athletics Data Analysis Cutting Tool". (Coachacola provided a link to it in a recent post.) Men's Basketball Operating Expenses Total MBB Expenses Non Gameday Reporting Period (Gameday Expenses) Lamar $249,525 $1,379,801 $1,130,276 9/1/12-8/31/13 Sam Houston State $216,658 866,568 649,910 9/1/12-8/31/13 Stephen F Austin $574,739 1,187,191 613,452 9/1/12-8/…

Congrats ladies.

I'm not a fan of Bob West's cookbook-style columns, but I found this interesting: One of my all-time best sources says Ray Woodard probably coached his last football game at Lamar University Saturday night, even if the Cardinals managed to upset McNeese State. The source cited lack of attendance, especially among LU students, as well as not winning enough games. Woodard, who was 18-27 entering the McNeese game, took on the challenge of bringing Cardinals football back after the program had been shut down in 1989. According to the source, an annoucement on the change could come as early as today. If Lamar did knock off McNeese

It"s ranked 143rd in the country. Maybe Coach Harmony can give Coach Knight some pointers! http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/112813aaa.html

If this team can protect the ball they will win a lot of games. The three-point shooting has improved, but there's too much inconsistency defensively. True, height is an issue but I seem to remember some of Billy Tubbs' teams that were height-challenged and were successful. Not quite ready to write this team off just yet, but they must improve a whole lot, play consistent defense, cut down on turnovers, and Mitchell MUST play a whole lot more in control. Positives: the comeback; Hillard is a beast - no question he is the leader; 3-point shooting Negatives: rebounding (not as much); turnovers (a whole lot); inconsistent play from some I'm sure there are other ide…

HJ Senior Zjori Bosha has been gaining steam on the recruiting trail this summer. Recently in an AAU tournament in Las Vegas Bosha's AAU coach started getting inquiries from some familiar faces as well as some Big D1 schools. Teams included are Pitt, South Carolina, Houston, Navy, Sam Houston State and McNeese State. Bosha is a 6'5 PG/SG. My question is when will LAMAR start looking at this local talent?????

I think that this two week period is a very important for this team as they find themselves!!!!!!!!!! To quote Houston Nutt, the players and the fans need to hold on to the rope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Cards!!!!!!!!!! Knightman

Let's hear it. No use in dancing around it. Cards go 5-7 and if we didn't schedule the three high schools we would be 2-10. Are we satisfied with this? Do I think we have the kids to do better ? YES....I tell you now from the way we played in some really big games, coaching, coaching, coaching lost those games. Kueck can't break down a defense and find out how to beat them. Does the same ole stupid stuff. Asked to leave at the high school level and we hire him..HMM?? Woodard doesn't sack Kueck then sack them both...

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/se-louisiana-penalized-ncaa-over-181155391--spt.html Now we know how they got out of the bottom of the conference!

Cardinals down by 11 at the half 37-26. Getting beat on the boards 25-15, only getting one shot on offense. Also loosing the turnover battle.

Mcneese got stomped by Jacksonville St. 31-10 SELA scored in last minute to beat sam 30-29...all conference Bell? she went 3-15 for 15 yds...

Last game of the season....who you got?

Tonight the Red Zone Sports Talk Show will hit the road to bring you what has been happening with Lamar Athletics over the past week or so. The show will be broadcast from Hawk Gymnasium tonight from 6-7. We will discuss the final LU football game against McNeese, Lamar Men's hoops and Women's hoops. We will discuss Ray Woodard, who got word today that he will be here to lead the Cards in in 2014!!! We will also discuss the upcoming weekend of conference championship games to set up the BCS National Championship game. We will also discuss how the SLC teams did in the FCS playoffs last weekend. Join Rob Lietzke and Mitch Hardt for the show. Special thanks to our sponsor…

Glad to see he landed somewhere. Too much talent to not be playing somewhere.

http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/8032 Jesse Dickson named Defensive Player of the Year Kahler and McGlothen were first team selections. Harrington was Freshman of the Year and 2nd team RB Caleb Berry(behind only Bennett of Southeastern), Begelton and Johnson made 2nd team. Roberts, Gillam, Washington made the 3rd teams I think these guys did a much better job at the selections than the Southland Conference

Tip Saturday evening at 6:00 at Montagne Center.
