Why take your foot off the gas. Put up a hundred on a team and make the news. 72 isn't even close. No freaking vision. I'm so sick of just playing it like a bunch of PC sissy boys.

http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/w-softbl/sched/lama-w-softbl-sched.html I'm indifferent to this schedule. Really don't know what to think.

First I would like to say that this was a great and entertaining scrimmage. Several of the new guys were very impressive and several of the old guys looked improved. Dontavious Spears- He can shoot the 3, he can drive the ball, he can rebound, he was the guy who opened my eyes the most. Kevin Booze and Bequan Petty- Both are lightning fast. I would have liked to have seen more scoring out of both of them. They both had missed layups. LeMon Gregory- Physical, good rebounder, Good post scorer. Very impressed. Tyran L.- Best player on the court tonight. Plays way bigger than is 6'4 (which is more like 6'6 as he is taller than Ross who is 6'5). Big time rebound…

Here's our preview from UCA.

Saturdays forecast: Low 43 / High 63 Looks like Gumbo weather for us!

http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-basebl/sched/lama-m-basebl-sched.html Interesting schedule here. The biggest thing I noticed is the SLC play begins in early March! Normally Lamar gets six or seven non conference series, usually against cupcake northern teams, but with the additions of HBU, UIW, UNO, and ACU that takes away from the non conference scheduling. Should make for some fun baseball to watch. This years team could be one to watch. The pitching should be phenomenal, the hitting should be much improved, and the bullpen will have more experience. I think it's going to be a lot of fun out at the Beck this year.

I probably missed something, but I've been waiting for media days for the conference and haven't seen anything. I did see the results of preseason polls in the SLC media guides. For men, we're picked to finish 10th in both the Coaches' and SID polls ahead of Abilene Christian, Houston Baptist, and Central Arkansas. For the women, we're picked 2nd in the Coaches' poll and tied for 2nd in the SID Poll. http://www.southland.org/custompages/media_guide/2014_15_SLC_MBB_Media_Guide.pdf (Page 12 for both guides) http://www.southland.org/custompages/media_guide/2014_15_SLC_WBB_Meda_Guide.pdf I've been on the road the last few weeks so I could very well have misse…

I know that LU has always produced a lot of success premeds. Y'all's freshman premeds may now have one more option. Sam Houston State University School of Medicine. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/2014/10/more-details-on-med-school-proposed-for-former.html
