THE HOME FOR LU SPORTS TALK

We've all seen Coach Woodard take chances on big school kids that have been dismissed or transferred from bigger schools in the past, do any of you think or would you want him to give one of these kids a chance at Lamar if it fills a position of need? i know Id love to see him contact Joe Bergeron from UT if he's indeed dismissed from the Longhorns. He'd be a huge bruising RB for the Cards and dominate the SLC. What do you guys think?

The rich get richer as far as talent, guy. Team, this kid has speed, athleticism and toughness. He was primed for special things at Texas this year before running himself off the team. Sam Houston just got a lot better on Offense, guy.

According the roster, Brock is 300 and both Treadway and Craven are 290. Only 7 guys are mentioned in this article, that's not much depth. http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/081414aaa.html

We only have 3 on the roster. I think we have 3 realy good Qb's but is this enough depth? And if not who else would be an option if the worst case scenario were to happen (praying that Berry makes the whole year uninjured)?

Bob West says lamar will play in the Indiana classic, with games at Indiana, TSU, SMU, and a home game against an undetermined opponent. http://www.panews.com/sportsbobwest/x1760075881/West-column-Hammond-Lillejadhl-speak-eloquently-about-Hill?mobRedir=false

Surprisingly I haven't seen anything posted about these issues but the landscape of college athletics is about to be flipped upside down...this is not good news for Lamar as we stand and probably wouldn't have been much better if we had gotten a SBC invite already http://espn.go.com/wireless/story?storyId=11321551 Also the a judge rules against the NCAA in the O'Bannon case http://espn.go.com/extra/ncaa/story?storyId=11328442&src=desktop&ex_cid=sportscenterFB

any word on men's basketball and/or baeball schedules??
