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.

For what it's worth and it's not worth much, two of the hosts for the selection show seemed surprised that Lamar was left out.

Typical of the big schools who run the NCAA. Pat you on the back and say "great season guys but we think you went to the wrong school." Sweep the #9 overall seed in their place (where else would they play us?) Don't care Top ERA in the country going into the conference tourney (Southeastern ballpark will wreck any ERA). Don't care Second most wins in the country. Don't care.
