  1. Week 2 has the SLC playing four FBS schools and five FCS. The marquee game this week in my opinion is UIW at South Dakota State. The Commerce-UC Davis game should decide whether SLC is in the plus column for FCS wins this week.
  2. Volleyball keeps their win streak alive taking two games on Friday. Next action is next Friday in Memphis for two games on Friday and one on Saturday.
  3. If I have read all the weekly schedules correctly, the SLC has ten games against Big Sky opponents, eleven against the SWAC and four against MVFC opponents in addition to the five against UAC. I think the SLC has a chance to prove it is worth more than one bid, but everyone has to perform well against these other FCS teams.
  4. Lamar takes on Miss Valley Saturday at 6 PM. Miss Valley fell to Tenn St in their opening game in a battle of FCS schools. It is a home game against a FCS school so Lamar should be slightly favored. Keys for Lamar in my opinion are reducing the penalties, moving the ball consistently on offense and the d-line controlling the line of scrimmage. O-line needs to block better than last week to give Coleman time to get passes off and open holes for the backs to get to the second level.
  5. Volleyball gets first win of the season at Prairie View A&M. Next two matches in Thibodeaux. Neither are conference matches but might give an idea of what is to come for the rest of the season.
  6. Soccer gets a 2-1 win over Sam Houston. Hope this is the beginning of a long string of wins.
  7. VB, tough job to come into a program that is on the bottom. Hard to recruit because why would good players come. Soccer needs a win to get things started. It's still to early to tell what the true level of the competition has been so far.
  8. On the radio feed they said Dennis got suspended for this game for violating team rules. It takes time to gain the needed discipline. The penalties also show that the team doesn't have enough discipline yet.
  9. Including both McNeese games between last Thursday and tonight the SLC is 0-6 versus FBS teams, 2-1 against FCS and a victory over a non-D1. Both Lamar and Nicholls played to within a one score difference against group of five FBS schools.
  10. Final 34-27 Texas St.
  11. Does Coleman know he can't afford to take sacks. He has to get rid of the ball.
  12. A positive is that similar to last year the Cardinals don't quit trying.
  13. Nope, Texas State just decided to wake up their offense. This last drive the officials missed another obvious penalty for a lineman down field on a pass play that could have made a difference. But that doesn't change two quick touchdowns to effectively put the game out of reach, 5:28 left and Lamar now down 34-17.
  14. Lamar getting screwed by the TSU replay crew. Targeting called by the replay crew on a what really appears to be a good tackle. The same bunch also ruled a TSU fumble an incomplete pass.
  15. Lamar stops TSU and then has a nice drive, but stalls ending in a Lamar field goal. Score now 21-10 with 2:38 left in the third quarter.
  16. New half, Lamar offense takes the kickoff and moves the ball 75 yards in five plays for a touchdown to narrow the gap a little. Lamar did get the aid of a TS pass interference call, but still had some good runs including the final 18 yards.
  17. So far on Saturday, UIW is ahead of Northern Colorado, HCU is getting buried by SMU, Nicholls is one score down at La Tech, Commerce is surprising San Diego St and Southern is up on McNeese.
  18. Offense performs admirably in the second quarter for a total of negative fourteen yards. Texas St gives Lamar a break by bringing in the second team Qb for a couple of series allowing Lamar Defense to settle down a little and breaking their own offensive flow. Halftime score 18-0.
  19. No, just hoping. I think Lamar needs to put in the third team offense. No point in taking a chance to get the studs hurt in a blowout loss. Lamar has more penalty yards than offensive yards in the first quarter.
  20. Lamar offense moved the ball a little, but turned the ball over on downs at the Texas St forty five. TSU drives right down the field to score their second touchdown.
  21. Lamar kicks off to open the game on defense. Defense unable to put any pressure on SWT and the Bobcats move quickly to score a touchdown on their opening drive in under two minutes.
  22. It's game time those the secrets get exposed.
  23. It would be about twenty hours round trip for me and while I hope for a good game, history would tell me not to expect it.
  24. 27.5 hours until kickoff. Can't wait to see what Coach Pete can do in year two.
  25. Through the first half of the Thursday night games and last weeks McNeese game it looks like the SLC will be one and three with the lone win coming from SFA against non-D1 North American University. Northwestern St played it close against Tulsa for the first quarter but since then have caved. That might sound good, but Tulsa is picked next to last in the AAC. Southeastern La. hasn't done anything against Tulane.
