THE HOME FOR LU SPORTS TALK

Can some of you guys please refrain from calling people douche and he is out pimping his mama. Does that make you tough? Grow up and if you truly played you do not have to toot your own horn people will remember you by your play not your mouth!!

from lamarcardinals.com "For the second straight season, Lamar University punter Kollin Kahler has been named to the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) preseason watch list..." http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/062813aaa.html

He placed 2nd in the division 2 super heavyweight group by squatting 660 pounds, benching 410, and dead lifting 640 pounds. At 6'0 and around 300 pounds maybe he'll see some playing time on the DL as a freshman this fall. http://www.thevindicator.com/sports/article_952fb316-9c87-11e2-b475-0019bb2963f4.html http://www.reporternews.com/news/2013/mar/23/records-fall-big-country-lifters-claim-six-at/

Any word on the status of Kevin Johnson?

I cant find a link to it but the pa news had good article in sundays paper.

Rex Dausin ‏@RxDausin Officially signing to play ball at Lamar University! Very blessed for the opportunity God has given me. Time to get to work! http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Rex-Dausin-123025

I think we will finish 3rd or 4th McNeese SELA SFA Lamar I think we have a chance of moving above SFA this year. SELA should be tough this year along with McNeese. I know most pick McNeese lower but they did not lose alot last year. I dont think SHSU is in the mix this year. But they may surprise. I think Lamar may surprise everyone this year. We need to anyways!!

This came in the mail yesterday. Looks like a good one...

Double dose of plus or minus: Overall wins: 6 Conference Wins: 3 Go!

http://www.brazossports.com/football/article_d7d9f546-6950-5488-a6a5-3302b99ddde0.html He was a rivals 3-star defensive lineman. Looks like he could have 4 years of eligibility at Lamar. Profile: http://rivals.yahoo.com/texastech/football/recruiting/player-J.J.-Lollar-123962

Looks like the roster has been updated! Lots of names missing! Anthony Beard and Jacob Hanna are two names that I don't see. I am sure Coach you have a pretty good breakdown on it!!

Saw this on lamarcardinals.com Cardinals will have one home game and two road games aired this season "...The Cardinals' Oct. 19 home game against Central Arkansas will feature a 6 p.m. kickoff on CSNH. Lamar will have a pair of road games broadcast with its Oct. 26 game at Southeastern Louisiana slated for a 7 p.m. start on ESPN3 and its 3 p.m. game at Northwestern State on Nov. 9 scheduled for SLCTV..." http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/061113aaa.html

Since the board is dead was hoping to get some discussion going...... I feel like we have come close to giving McSleeze a run for their money. Don't really know if this is the year. Anyone have any thoughts?

The guy trains Tim Tebow, Herschel Walker, Drew Breeze. Many others and has had offers from a lot of schools. He wants to be a Card and his name is Kurt Hester. Tebow walked on an NFL roster as one of the strongest guys on the team. Go get him Ray!!!

If I am not mistaken we have three quarterbacks on the roster. Moss (sr), Berry (jr) and Barrett (fr or soph). So what do we have for the 2015 season?

If my math is correct, counting tomorrow we have 93 days to go until the August 31 season kickoff. In years past, we have posted trivia tied to the number of days remaining. I'll start off the first one. #93 Jesse Dickson Class: Senior Hometown: Houston, Texas High School: Alief Taylor HS Height / Weight: 6-3 / 265 Position: DE Experience: 3L Last year, Jesse played in 10 games. He had 43 tackles (13 assisted and 30 solo). Of those, 9 tackles were for losses totalling 37 yards. He had 4 sacks for 22 yards. Other pass defense stats include 2 break ups (BU), 2 Passes defended (PB), and 2 Quarterback Hurries (Qbh) http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-…

Saw this on Twitter: Trevante' Ebron ‏@EbronTO_Canton 1 May I've decided to forgo the 2012-2013 season 2 transfer to Lamar University & sit out and be ready to play spring for the starting back spot. Looks like he played a year a Cisco JC, transferred to Missouri Southern but didn't play there. http://rivals.yahoo.com/miami/football/recruiting/player-Trevante-Ebron-85867 http://www.mssulions.com/sports/fball/2013-14/bios/ebron_trevante_48vq

According to LU football commit Zach Stuart it's a done deal. LINK: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/oct/04/west-linebacker-zach-stuart-commits-to-lamar/

Romando Stewart who signed with Lamar in February from Newton Texas wins gold in the 2A State Track Meet in the sprint relay they ran a 41.7 to take gold

Another Oklahoma State player is transferring from Oklahoma State. Chances he'll continue the pipeline to Beaumont?

Lamar Cardinals ‏@LamarCards Julie Aime takes second to lead the Lamar women's golf team to the title of the 2013 Islander Classic. http://fb.me/2HiiBI8Oo

Watching the Cowboys play the Bengals today gave me an idea. Andy Dalton, the Bengals' quarterback, graduated from Katy High School. That high school has the kind of program you always heard about with Odessa Permian and Plano High School in years past - (and PNG). Katy rarely loses. If I don't jinx them, they are working on their 7th state championship...would be 5th since 2000. As an example, they are currently participating in the State Football playoffs. Here are the scores so far. 11/15 - Katy wins 77-7 11/23 - Katy wins 49-0 12/01 - Katy wins 55-10 12/08 - Katy wins 70-21 They are either really, really good or they have had an easy path so far.
