TBonesLU Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 This is what gets me: If someone is on here with the name Hookem, do you really think he is bashing Lamar so as to make UT look better? Come on man. You remind me of someone I used to know from Bridge City. He would always try to compare their Cardinals to the WOS/PNG/Centrals of the world when they could never compete. Any time someone said something about BC, he would flip. Its ok to be critical. Obviously, if the guy is on here commenting then he is probably a fan of Lamar too. I dont think he would just be bashing Lamar just for the fun of it. I went to BC and I can assure you that was not me. I hated going there. I never said he was trying to make UT look better. What I was getting to was there isn't a logical reason in jumping on and saying something negative about Lamar and just ending it. I asked him what he thought was bad about the coaching and he still didn't answer. It's as if he didn't watch the game at all. Also, I agree, it is okay to be critical. So be critical. Be a critic and EXPLAIN WHY THE COACHING STAFF IS POOR AND WHY THAT IS LAMAR'S IDENTITY. That's all I asked. Do it or not, it's nice to have an original thought about something rather than just be like some of the other fair weather fans. I don't have a problem with people being critics of Lamar. That is what makes us fans. My point was if you want to be a critic, don't half-___ it. Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachacola Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If you look at Woodard's profile his background is defense so why is the defense the weak link of this team? Is he taking a hand's off approach on the defense, or maybe he's just not that good of a coach? Maybe the talent just isn't there yet? Whatever the problem is Woodard has two weeks to figure out an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBonesLU Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I will respectfully withdraw from this so others may continue to talk about Lamar's identity. Whether or not I blew this out of proportion is debatable. Let's just get past it. I sent you a PM, Hookem. I will finish this part of the topic by saying to everyone, "Please help others in the area to not be fair weather fans. It's what kills every sport that rolls through Beaumont." EDIT: Please note this above quote was not directed at ANYONE directly. I merely understood Hookem's post this way (whether he meant it that way or not), and that is why I am saying this.

JJWooten Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That's the risk of taking a JuCo coach and giving him DI reigns. Look at Whitten, he was a REALLY good coach at Tarleton State, but he couldn't make that transition to Sam as a DI coach. We've always said he would make a good offensive coordinator somewhere. But then again, on the other hand, look at Larry Coker at UTSA. He's an FBS (BCS team even) head coach that is now coaching down a level. All logic should say he shouldn't lose to DIII McMurry State, but he did. :woohoo: :woohoo: You can never really tell what you're getting until they get on the field.

Guest Hookem14 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I will also let it go. But let me say this in closing. I made no “Sneer” comment about the university, nor did I bash the university in any way or try to cause a stir. I am a season ticket holder and a huge Lamar fan that wants nothing more than for them to have all the success in the world. I am just being realistic. I simply made a statement that was not a popular one and because of a user name, as if that means anything, was called out. The coaching is poor; anyone that knows even a little about football can see that. I’ve got a 12 year old son that can point that out. I didn’t feel it was necessary to point out each flaw. Next time don’t read so much into a comment and assume so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look bud, it's a Lamar message board... when you come onto a Lamar message board with the name hookem14, you better get ridiculed for your name or cardinal fans aren't Cardinal fans. If you are a cardinal fan why are ya making an account on a Lamar message board that says hookem??????? If I went to orangebloods with the name OkieStateLover and started making critical comments about UT's coaches would I get a warm welcome? I bet they would all call me a genius and tell me how right I am correct? Ya, thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachacola Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I think anyone who dishes out money for season tickets is definitely a Lamar fan, no matter what screen name they use. Lamar isn't in UT's league yet so I don't have a problem with the screen name. Now if it was someone from another SLC school saying stuff about the coaching staff that would be different. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar isn't in UT's league yet so I don't have a problem with the screen name. Now if it was someone from another SLC school saying stuff about the coaching staff that would be different. Just my 2 cents. Quite honestly, I don't have a problem with anyone stating something about things Lamar is having problems carrying out or whatnot even if they are in the SLC. I would figure our close opponents to know more about us than out-of-conference folks. It's why he have a forum. I just didn't like "Lamar is poorly coached. That's their identity." It said nothing of a point of view. It was just a quick jab and it's over. His username had nothing to do with it. I got mad, so it was the first thing I threw back in his face. If a Lamar fan had said it, I would've done the same thing. I just told him to give examples, have something to back it up, etc. And to be honest, I can't say I was even disagreeing with him 100%. I think the coaching needs to step it up. I think they perhaps are doing the best with what they have right now with all the injuries. However, there is a reason there are second- and third-string players. They are supposed to be able to seamlessly back up the first string. Right now, that is not what they are doing. So I agree with him on that (if he in some way was referring to this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theTestament Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I actually think its nice to see other people come on here and talk Lamar sports. Hookem seems to bring an unbiased opinion to the conversation. Not to mention that when he does back up his points, he usually makes sense.....unlike some people on here.

Just my 2 cents. Well then if you have no problem with it why dont we all change our names to the mascots of big12 schools... that would be one great Lamar fan board wouldnt it? If i made an arkansas state user name and went to orangebloods and started making critical comments regardless of the difference in level of play people would laugh me off the board. this is what is supposed to happen. Ive read here for a while and there are other members here that graduated from other schools but they dont call themselves by those schools. I saw this guys argument last week, he graduated from Lamar but he makes the user name hookem? Thats like all the kids that wear ut and a&m shirts on lamar's campus. I guess we should encourage that to right? I got no problem with people liking ut or tech or any other big12 school but when they graduated from lu and can't even show some signs that they are a fan on a message board or wear a lu shirt then I dont care for em too much. And this is just my 2 cents as well, you gave yours now I gave mine and Im not going to apologize if I step on any toes. go cardinals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone went to both schools, why not have an LU screenname on here and a UT screenname on their forum? I'll agree with the general consensus though and say, "Go, Cards!"
