The weather should be good for tailgating. Looking forward to some great food and a game of washers. We still haven't decided what's on our menu. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, I didn't realize how organized Lamars tailgating was until I went to the South Alabama game. That was a cluster.

Jeremy Johnson is listed as the #2 QB on the depth chart. Looking at the efficiency ratings, Bevil has a 79 while JJ has a 178, but that's very limited action. The top 3 rushers are Garrett, Venson, and Johnson. Link: http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/091511aaa.html

Will you be attending the Lamar vs Incarnate Word game?

The public will not know who the Lamar starting quarterback is this week until the game starts Saturday, coach Ray Woodard said Thursday. Woodard also said he will no longer publicly discuss injured players. Woodard's plan is to keep everything in-house. That's why he closed all practices to the public and has not allowed players to speak with media this week. "I think other teams know way too much about us and we don't know a (expletive) thing about them," said Woodard, whose team plays 7 p.m. Saturday at home against Incarnate Word (1-1), a NCAA Division II team from San Antonio. Incarnate Word coach Mike Santiago said Wednesday a depth chart sent to him by…

Tweet from local media source: thechadcooper Chad Cooper #LamarU football coach Ray Woodward closes practice to media

The lesson from Saturday's loss is simple for the Lamar University football team. "It shows where we need to be," sophomore center Kyle Gillam said after the Cardinals (1-1) lost 30-8 at South Alabama. "We're going to come out (today) and correct everything." The last chance to make corrections before Southland Conference play begins at 7 p.m. Saturday at home against the University of the Incarnate Word (1-1), an NCAA Division II school in San Antonio. Incarnate Word's coach is former Lamar assistant Mike Santiago.

Tough Game all around. Too many penalties and mental mistakes killed any chance the Cardinals had a win. LINK: South Alabama Grades Thoughts?

Where is the best place to find the national rankings? I fsomeone could be so helpful as to provide a link. Thanks!

Like everyone else I'm disappointed in the game. Not so much they lost, but how they lost. Maybe you guys know the answers to these questions: 1. How often did Lamar use the pistol formation? I read that they were going to use it about 70% of the time. 2. The SHSU fans sure were happy when they got rid of Whitten. I'm not sold on him as offensive coordinator and maybe he's not the right guy at Lamar. So far this year and last year the offensive has been terrible in big games. 3. Has the defense taken a step backward? Probably too early to tell, but South Alabama seemed to be able to turn on their offense when they needed to. Maybe Roger Hinshaw leaving …
