I remember Lamar had a ribbon cutting for the football practice facility but ive never seen them use it. Everytime i see pics and video of them practicing, it on the game field. Is the practice fields a dump? Please explain Cplatt

http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/072414aaa.html KJ named to the watch list for the award he won last season. he's received a lot of flak on this site the last 2 seasons for his lack of effort when he knew the ball wasn't coming his way but I think by him moving to Safety he's showing that he'll do whatever it takes to get on the field. Personally still wish he was playing WR because he is so dynamic with the ball but Safety may be a better fit for the team at this point since we lost so much there from last year...and he showed against SFA last year his hands can be a valuable weapon.

The video clip is from kfdm.com and has a drawing of the new building. This is going to be the main entrance to LU and it's going to look very nice!! http://kfdm.com/shared/news/top-stories/stories/kfdm_vid_11023.shtml

Did they keep the same jersey scheme? I am assuming so because i dont think we generate enough revenue to change each year. Also are they ever going back to the names on the back? Made the jerseys alot better looking. Cplatt

For anyone interested, here's a link to the HBU Football Stadium Construction webcam. The field was installed last year. This year's construction project adds the stands, concessions, etc. link from hbuhuskies.com http://hbuhuskies.com/sports/2014/6/24/GEN_0624144816.aspx

Avi Zaleon in his In The Cards blog has put together a nice chart making sense of the roster changes. He updated the chart today (May 7th). width=500 height=395http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/files/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2014-05-07-at-1.05.11-PM-600x475.png[/img] width=500 height=321http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/files/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2014-05-07-at-1.06.12-PM-600x386.png[/img] width=500 height=104http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/files/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2014-05-07-at-1.06.21-PM-600x125.png[/img] http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/2014/05/07/scholarship-table-updated/

All the imported profiles from the old forum have a default setting of "do not show editor toolbar" for some reason. If you are a new member this should be a non issue but if you're just signing in to the new board and its not showing up when posting a new thread or a reply you'll need to click on settings and then general settings and switch this setting to either "show standard editor toolbar" or "show enhanced editor toolbar" and it'll come up. What this toolbar does for those confused is give you the ability to edit your post like bolding or underlining text or putting it in italics or changing the fonts or size of text or linking a picture etc. If you cannot figur…

Kind of interesting fact...is Coach Woodard the only former UT Longhorn that's currently a college head football coach at the FBS or FCS level? A friend asked this question today and without doing the research I think he may be. There are some coordinators out there but I cant think of another head guy unless I'm totally missing on someone.

A couple of weeks old, but I noticed it this morning. Vincent-Beck comes in at 118 out of 211. The Vincent-Beck stadium review, dated May 13, 2013, sounds pretty fair to me. The list is not complete. Based on the comments, the reviewers still have about 80 stadiums to visit. It looks like several of the SLC stadiums are in the group of 80. I don't put to much in the weight in the pecking order list since it is based on multiple reviewers with varying insights. The list is good to provide an easy way to see "what the Jones's have" since there are several photographs for each stadium. Also, it is nice to see things from an outsider's perspective. Besides, it give…

Jeremy johnson,anthony oden and herschel sims.did any of these guys ever play again?

Overall I think Mike and whoever else was in on it did a great job with the new site...no complaints from me but I do have a few questions...I'm not a formatting guy so I don't know how feasible any of this is. Main thing is, is there a way to subfolder the "In The Bird Cage" folder to seperate each sport like how we had the last site? It does eliminate a click by having it all together but to me it would appear better categorized. The links at the top of the page aren't working correctly. We did lose post from the last week or so...assuming that has to do with when the site was being tested?...no big deal. The Tapatalk app still has the old subfolders on it.…

More details to come but it's nearly complete I think you all are going to love it.

I attended the first practice today......All the guys came over and introduced themselves. Petty has a hand on the mend, Booze held out waiting results of routine test and Gregory will be here in the fall. It looked like the first day of practice. Big men coach working with the bigs around the basket....you miss a lay up ..you run. Miss free throws you run. Overall better than the last two years..
