Could not agree more! Saturday night against McNeese was like a game back in the 80s or 90s. It starts with defense and this team defends. he finally has enough players keep fresh defenders on the floor at all times. Fans are starting to notice and, most importantly, care again! Thanks, Coach Brooks

They also added Albert Simon from Nederland. That makes 12 new ones.

I have been following the Signing Day feed. The first 14 signees listed are from the early signing period. New signees start with Paul Omodia. I count nine new guys so far (11:15 on Wednesday). Connor Martin and Roy Jenkins are not among those.

Not about this squad but during a timeout of the HCC games four players from the glory days were introduced: Tommy Sewell, Brian and Tony Kelleybrew, and George Milhouse. I didn't see it in any of the news media coverage so it's one of those you may missed if you weren't at the game. Sewell is still highest draft pick, in any sport, the Cardinals ever had.

He came from Delaware which is about as far from Philly as we are from Houston. Maybe he's just going home.

Whatever the number, this team was hurt by penalties

I'm one of those people who thinks winning is better than losing. I appreciate a coach who plays the style that gives his team the best chance to win. I agree with the discipline comment. We were one the most penalized team anywhere.

Preston Mattingly, the son of Don Mattingly, who played basketball for Lamar from 2013 to 2016 has been named the general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. I saw his dad at a Lamar game, sitting with Gilligan.

Cards dominated the first half but were unable to do anything after halftime. They had all the stats at halftime but only a 7 point lead. I don't know why Coleman came out. Was he hurt or was he benched for two horrible decisions--the pick six in the first half and the interception late over the middle when he was running for his life and just threw it up?

Other roster changes: Jakevion Buckley is now at SE Louisiana, Terry Anderson is at High Point, Aleksa Lekic is at Kilgore and Brian Gordon is at TAMU-Kingsville. Little-used Max Pearcy is gone but I don't know where

Catt is at Houston Christian.

I hope thread lasts more than one more game but did you notice that former Cardinal Mike Sarbaugh produced twelve runs tonight (Well he waived them in). Number 86 coaching third for the Mets.

He was hurt just before the half against Weber State. He returned to the huddle but they had to take him out because the clock was stopped for his injury. Longino threw a short TD pass on the next play. Coleman hasn't played since. He dressed out against TSU (with heavy wrap on one leg)

Coleman was dressed out. Does anyone know how long he will be out? TSU could crowd the line of scrimmage because they didn't have to respect the pass. Longino has been here 3 years and he has never come close to winning the job. One play really got my attention. We had a wide receiver throw a pass before Longino tried one--we have no passing game, such as it is, with Coleman out.

I call the league the PAC-State (look at the names of all six teams currently in or joining the league)

One mistake down there and we're behind 18-17. I liked the conservative play calling.

I said just before they went for it at the end that they would be stupid not to kick the field goal and take the lead. Then we stopped them. Maybe they didn't have confidence in a kicking game that had already kicked a pat attempt off the post and had a field goal try hit the backs of their linemen.

If you had the over for penalty yards, you're a winner. Lamar was penalized EIGHTEEN TIMES for 154 yards! If those aren't school records I'm glad I didn't see the game that beats those numbers. Sadly, I did see this one.

Valley hasn't been good since Jerry Rice graduated. Lamar by a lot.

Tarleton was well ahead at halftime but also lost their QB going into the half. They didn't score or move the ball in second half so McNeese basically had the ball for the whole 2nd half. Not sure how much the comeback means. With their starting QB, Tarleton was clearly the better team.

It's the first week so this is basically meaningless. That said, TSU-San Marcos -26 1/2

The updated roster includes both Solomi and Muhammed

What's this have to do with Lamar?

Going over the roster I noticed a number of the signees either didn't make it to campus or came in the spring and didn't stay. Wonder if anyone knows what happened to any of them IviolaOluwa Solomi DL Denton Braswell Amari Williams DL Miami Beach Liberty Isaiah Memefee DB Lufkin Jameer Muhammed RB Fort Worth Carter-Riverside Omarion Rasberry RB Garrison (Tx) Dominic Eldridge OL Blinn Dameon Smallwood OL North Texas Also noticed one new addition to the roster from Japan. Wonder what the story is on him Daiki Yoshikawa LB Tokyo Kosei HS

Hate to lose him but it says something about the program when others want to hire your assistants. Hope the next guy becomes just as popular.
