Following approval from the Texas State University System Board of Regents, Lamar University will be constructing a new state-of-art building at Vincent-Beck Stadium due to an elite gift from Teri and Glen Morgan. Groundbreaking on the Teri and Glen Morgan Baseball Complex is set to begin in February. https://lamarcardinals.com/news/2024/11/21/baseball-lamar-announces-upgrades-at-vincent-beck-stadium.aspx

Sammy only had 8 scholarship players suited up and were missing some key players.

LU beat themselves. Fumble was in the red zone. First interception was a pick 6. Instead of being up 10-0 or 14-0 it's tied 7-7. They don't have the talent to overcome mistakes.

LU may just win this game if they stop making mistakes.

You would think on talent alone LU would win. Bad coaching would explain the loss. Brooks was a lifelong assistant for a reason and he's only the HC here because he was a star player under Tubbs.

They finally get a blowout win but NSU is undoubtedly one of the worst teams in the country.

We should have bombed Commerce last week too. Your prediction is accurate.

Time to start talking basketball. First game is an exhibition game against LSU-Alexandria on Oct 29 then a "warmup" against Paul Quinn College on Nov 4th. First real game is against Texas A&M on Nov. 11th.
