BigNasty92 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Playoffs might be a bit over ambitious. I would take a winning conference record. Quote
coachacola Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 The roster has been updated and the OL just keeps getting bigger: Chris Mayer - 350 Brock Wempa - 325 Justin Brock - 300 Chance McCormack - 300 John Craven - 290 Seth Blendermann - 290 Bret Treadway - 290 Chase Woods - 285 Tramon Shead - 285 There's some good size on the DL too: Joshua Frost - 320 Omar Tebo - 315 Joe Okafor - 305 Seth Adams - 285 OL Redshirt freshman Hunter Conn is no longer on the roster. Not sure what happened to him. I don't see any other roster changes. Quote
KABrother88 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Lot better size up front than we are accustomed to. Hate to see that about Conn. Felt like he could be a player for us and genuinely wanted to be here it seemed since he committed so early and held that until signing day Not only is it the weight of those guys up front but the overall size of them is encouraging...only 3 of those listed are under 6'3" an that's the 3 DTs (Frost, Tebo and Adams)...and 3 are True Freshman who will quite possibly redshirt (Blendermann, Woods, and Adams - he has the best shot of playing) so they will only get bigger. Starting bookend OTs should be 6'7" (Mayer) and 6'5" (Brock). If the OL can stay healthy then there should (key word) be no reason for us to have to complain about them Quote
NorthoftheBorder Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I would like to know what happened to Conn as well and if he is going somewhere else. Shead dropped from 305 to 285 I think not sure for why he went down. The line wins games!! Hopefully we can dominate on both sides in 2014!! Quote
jdcurran235 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Has anyone heard anything on season ticket sales. We renewed ours. Quote
LUSportsFan Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I haven't heard anything. We renewed ours and moved over a couple of sections. We had great seats in section W202 the last three years, but thought we'd try the chair back seats this season. Looking at the online ticket site, it looks like there are a lot of good seats available. I hope we have a good turnout this season. We've enjoyed the last three! With 7 games this season, the per game price works out to the following for the Green, White, and General Admission sections. Green: $14.29 ($100/7) White: $ 8.57 ($60/7) GA: $ 6.43 ($45/7) With the Cardinal Club membership, the Red and Gold sections work out to more, but a lot of the additional cost helps fund Lamar athletics (primarily the cost of athletic scholarships) Quote
KABrother88 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 So I crunched a few numbers on the O-Line comparing their size to the past Cardinal teams since 2010...here's what I came up with: 2010 averages - 6'2.75" 293 lbs 2011 averages - 6'3" 293 lbs 2012 averages - 6'2.5" 275 lbs 2013 averages - 6'3" 283 lbs 2014 averages - 6'3.25" 292 lbs 2010 featured a player (that I don't recall seeing play much) who weighed in at 385 lbs, and in 2011 we had the Anthony Oden (6'8" 305 lbs) & Daniel Campbell (6'5" 370 lbs) experiment that proved size means nothing if you just plain suck at blocking. So the numbers in those years may be skewed a bit. One other interesting thing I noticed was the number of OL on the roster. 2010-2012 had 17 listed each year, 2013 had 16, and so far for the 2014 roster there are only 13 listed with 3 true freshman in line to possibly redshirt. Hopefully Woodard and Co. are keeping their eyes open to possible transfers to add some depth. Quote
LUSportsFan Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Tickets for Texas A&M game go on sale starting Monday. from lamarcardinals.com http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/060514aaa.html Sent from my Android device using Tapatalk2 Quote
LUSportsFan Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 The wife and I might if I can sell it to her. We have close ties to both universities so it would be interesting. We had season tickets to A&M games for all but four years of the Lamar no-football years...1993-2008. Lamar season tickets sandwiched the A&M ones. :) Sent from my Android device using Tapatalk2 Quote
Lamarcard81 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I would not go to Pile field if you put a gun to my head. Quote
KABrother88 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Man I wish August 30th would hurry up and get here...ready or the season to start...hoping to see big things from this team Quote
LUSportsFan Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Saw this one over on the lamar1video YouTube site. Quote
