eagle eye Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 How much would the outlook for Lamar change if we can beat Coastal Carolina and SAM? Just dreaming here I guess but if we win both those games there's no reason not believe we could win 9 games this year. 9-2 would be pretty darn sweet.

geezer Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I'm not to concerned with the preseason rankings but it would be nice to beat CCU soundly to show the Sunbelt that LU is a viable program.

Skinny1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It looks to me that the rankings are reasonable for Lamar. Hope we can do better of course, but from a non-Lamar fan view looks understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
