  1. 31 doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. Lamar coaching is sometimes criticized here for not opening things up but their conservative approach usually means we are close enough to win. How often have we lost the statistics and won the game?
  2. Looking at the stats, looks like Cards won everything but officiating. How does team that trailed that trailed much of the game shoot 32 free throws to Lamar's 8?
  3. If the bracket is actually seeded, the team playing #10 Abilene Christian should be #23 or the next to last team in. It looks like they may have tried to lean on geography to set first round games. Whatever, WE'RE IN!! go Cards,
  4. In these times of unlimited transfers, Lamar has lost some of it's better players to other schools. While Terry Anderson and Alexis Marmolejos seem to being doing well enough, the name that stands out for me is Nate Calmese. He is with his fourth school in four years and starting for the ACC's Wake Forest. I'm glad that Coach Brooks brought these guys to Beaumont in the first place
  5. He only dressed 10 players.
  6. Whoever said stats are for losers must have Lamar's opponents this year in mind.
  7. YeP, it's U La La
  8. I wondered why you would insert McCown to do nothing but the kneel-downs.
  9. Comparing the roster to the signing days' releases I only see three missing names; Nehemiah Borner OLB from Duncanville, Aiden White DB from Athens and Roy Thomas Jenkins QB from St Thomas and previously Kelly and Westbrook. Anyone know what happened to these guys? I left out UAPB QB Mekhi Hagens who transfer made the paper.
  10. I was watching Channel 12 when they offered a tease that Cards were losing an offensive player. My immediate thought was either Longino or McCown. It probably makes more sense for Longino to leave--he's out of time. Too bad it happened so late. It will be hard for him to find a good fit at this point. Interested to see what McCown can do when he finally gets on the field.
  11. https://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2025/jul/06/lamar-transfer-outfielder-damian-ruiz-commits-to-arkansas-baseball/ This is the world we live in, the world of the transfer portal. I guess we should be happy that we have the type of talent that one of the top programs in the country wants. Hate to lose him but we did get him through the transfer portal (Houston Christian)
  12. Lamar MBB announced the signing of Quinton Sanders from Houston Wheatley. I tend to discount press clipping with "nobody signs bad players" but this guy looks like he could be special. https://lamarcardinals.com/news/2025/6/5/mens-basketball-cardinals-add-scoring-punch-in-quinton-sanders.aspx
  13. There was no mention of him during spring practice. Is he really coming back? We've known about the JUCO rule for some time.
  14. 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
  15. They also added Albert Simon from Nederland. That makes 12 new ones.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. He came from Delaware which is about as far from Philly as we are from Houston. Maybe he's just going home.
  19. Whatever the number, this team was hurt by penalties
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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?
  23. 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
  24. Catt is at Houston Christian.
  25. 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.
