  1. Lamar holds SD, then makes a couple of first downs before punting back to SD with just over two minutes left in the game.
  2. I will admit I am surprised. Lamar responded to the SD field goal with a solid possession resulting in a touchdown to take a 20 - 13 lead with 9:51 left in the game.
  3. I've mostly been out of coverage this evening, all tied up at 13 going into the fourth quarter. Saw Lamar got down 10-0 in the first quarter before comiing back to tie up the game before the half. Following an interception by Pugh Lamar took a 13-10 lead before giving up a tieing field goal for SD with under a minute left in the third quarter.
  4. Do you remember when Lamar was it's own university system? It wasn't good then either.
  5. Lamar needs to play a very competitive game tomorrow to build any kind of real support for the rest of the season. South Dakota got beat badly last week but the played well for about the first quarter against a top twenty FBS squad. I wasn't surprised by Lamar's loss, but it felt a lot worse as the Card's couldn't do much of anything until late in the fourth quarter. I hope Lamar can keep it to a two score game.
  6. I'm sure there are more but one stumbling block is gone to making the tourney with the McNeese coaching change.
  7. Lamar Volleyball takes a three-set win over Prairie View in the home opener. Lamar took the individual sets 25-16, 25-18 and 25-21. Cardinals improve to two and three on the year with a three match round robin in New Orleans starting Friday with matches against Tulane, Southern and La Tech.
  8. Lamar improved its record to 1-3-1 with a win over Sam Houston this evening. Up next is Rice next Sunday at home.
  9. End of the third quarter finds Lamar down 51-0. Lamar finally forced UNT to punt with a couple of minutes left in the third quarter. Yes, they are on their backup qb.
  10. He hasn't tried a different quarterback.
  11. Third quarter Lamar has two three and out offensive series and gives up another touchdown in the first ten minutes of the quarter. Time to make some changes.
  12. Second quarter is worse than the first, Lamar winds up with 45 total yards at the half, but offense is totally inconsistent. Coleman has a decent completion percentage, but not for any meaningful yardage at 60% and has thrown an interception and had a strip sack fumble that was recovered for a UNT touchdown. Defense has done a reasonable job of stopping the run but have put nearly zero pressure on the UNT quarterback who has 257 yards passing. Lamar also has nine penalties for 79 yards. Hope the second half is an improvement, but I am afraid if it is, it will because UNT is playing backups.
  13. Lamar is unable to put pressure on the UNT quarterback and UNT moves the ball down the field with several good passes for a touchdown on the opening drive. UNT tried going for two on the extra point but failed. Lamar moves the ball a little on it's first possession but after getting a first down are forced to punt. A poor punt puts UNT in good starting field position and again UNT is able to move the ball down the field aided by a Lamar personal foul for a second touchdown with 5:46 left in the first quarter.
  14. It's game time and the Cards open on defense.
  15. Lamar volleyball wins a five-set match against Stetson for it's first victory of the season and also the first win for a Lamar sports team of the year. Can Football get the second?
  16. Volleyball falls in both matches today. The first match with Northern Illinois went all five sets with the first four sets all two-point decisions before falling 15-6 in the final set. The second match with Southern Mississippi only went three sets but again with both of the first two sets two-point decisions. Lamar will face Stetson tomorrow morning.
  17. Lamar - UC Davis match ends in a scoreless tie. I am not enough of a soccer fan to be able to tell if Lamar has an offense strategy or execution problem but only scoring one goal in four matches doesn't seem good enough to me. Soccer travels to Sam H this Sunday. Volleyball begins their non-conference schedule with two matches tomorrow and one on Saturday.
  18. Couldn't find a lot about UNT Football. Looks like their picked in the middle of the American Conference. Appear to have a few recognized players but none especially noteworthy. Playing an FBS program almost always means Lamar is an underdog, the question is how far under. ESPN doesn't show a point spread. I expect Lamar to play a good game hopefully with less self-inflicted mistakes than the early games last year and I hope Lamar can come out with no serious injuries.
  19. Soccer falls again at UTSA in a 1-0 decision. UTSA got their lone goal on a penalty kick at around the 80th minute. Lamar had a chance to tie the game with a PK as time ran out but could not convert. Soccer hosts UC-Davis on Thursday and goes to Sam H next Sunday. Volleyball gets started with three matches between Friday and Saturday and Football starts Saturday evening in Denton.
  20. Week zero finds the preseason favorite UIW falling to Nicholls. Doesn't look like there is another conference game until week five, September27th
  21. Some of us don't do Facebook. I don't believe there is a designated person to start game threads. I have done some in the past when it was close to time for a game to start and no one else had started one. So, if you "lu cards" want to start them have at it in my opinion.
  22. Soccer falls 1-0 at Texas A&M. A&M scored with about three minutes left. Good effort by the Cards.
  23. Soccer opened the year with the first official game of the year at UL-L with a 4-1 loss. Their next game will be at Texas A&M this Sunday. Soccer will have four games completed before Volleyball or football play their first games.
  24. Men won all three games. Good trip for the team and should be a benefit to the coaches in getting an earl look. Looks like Lamar did a fairly good job of controlling turnovers.
  25. Men get a second win yesterday. Three players in double figures. They finish with a game today against presumably better competition. Holifield has been the leading scorer in both games and three-point shooting percentage has been better than past years.
