Have any of you actually driven over to watch these guys play.  I have.  Totally impressed, they are all business.  The game I saw they were up by 23 at the half and the opposing coach had to be impressed by the way his team was playing.  They don't throw it in your face, they didn't seem cocky, they just played defense.  As soon as they score, and I mean as soon as the ball goes below the rim, they're playing D.  They don't shoot layups to warm up before the game, they do defensive drills.  I heard that for the entire half of a game they ran sprints because the coach was unhappy with the way some players shot freethrows.  Never laft the court, just stayed out there and ran.  Still scored a hundred.  It's not that they are so much better than other teams, they just are relentless.  When you catch the ball you've got two guys coming at you.  The whole game.  Every time you inbound the ball you have to be perfect.  They just force teams into situations they probably have never been in.  Should they back off on the scoring, probably, but I bet there are plenty of those guys who got beat by a hundred who are texting their friends to tell them about playng Yates.  LeMarque had a great team this year, guess what they got hammered by 16.  Go watch them, they seem like good kids.  I had a great time.

Injuries and remember we a short two scholarships. Nabors would have been real handy to have around last night. Harper was huge without his effort last night we would have lost by 20. I'm glad someone said something about coming back in the second half, must have made some adjustments. Seemed like everytime we were getting a rythm and the crowd was getting into it.....pause.. foulshots. Both teams were in double bonus with more than 10 minutes left in second in the half. Looked to me like McThay might have gotten some confidence back last night, he needed to. I think the lighting is too good in the Montagne, teams are coming in and shooting lights out. I don't know, I think we're due a few breaks. As for the T, I heard Bull...., and the ref who called it wasn't part of the conversation. He should have turned around and let the ref that Roc was "chatting with" handle it. The problem was both Jay and the big SH player were pushing, he called the T on Jay as their leaving the floor for a timeout. He should run over and split them up, call a double foul something. He over reacted and called a T. I think that is what started foulfest.

They were pretty good in the 80s too especially the early to mid. The stadium was always packed. I can remember making many road trips to the Astrodome for playoff games. The most memorable was the state championship game---freezing cold! It just doesn't sound the same sitting at a football game without the Red Hussars playing.

Before anyone says anything I too think KK rocks! And would love to see her play at Lamar.

Abtr you are the man! You left out the the girls made it to the finals of the SLC! Just thought I'd help since you backed me on the men's thread.

Just wondering what makes you think Lamar hasn't tried to recruit all of these people that have been mentioned on here at some point. What qualifies as recruiting or attempting to recruit? I know for a fact that Roc recruited and signed both K. Young and K. Perkins to Memphis --remember?? Then Perkins went pro and Roc came to Lamar and an offer was made for Young at Lamar which was then turned down. So I guess that means no one recruited from Lamar???? Just wondering is all........also Roc has always recruited from this area even when he was at other schools (Keith Harris(Lincoln)--Tulane etc.) its just that now it is harder to get those players to stay home and play at Lamar. Roc knows how to recruit. The only way more people will show up is by winning---not to see local talent. Sorry but that is the truth everyone likes a winner.

Ridiculous comments! Coach Roc has alot of respect for his fellow coaches and their teams. The game was over all they were going to do was pass the ball around to run down the few seconds that were on the clock.

See you there. ;D ;D

Yes I made the drive along with my Mother. After reading the article in Fridays Beaumont Enterprise all I could think about was if they were to win no one would be there to celebrate. It took us about 3 hrs & 15 min. Not bad. As for that call against Jay Brown it was not intentional he was going for the ball. The other player went down pretty hard. The officiating was not so good but is it ever. I am still proud of these boys and they will do just fine in the tournament.

I think wasted season is a little harsh. Since when is Co- conference champions a wasted season? I attended the game today and there were maybe 20 Lamar fans there supporting this team. Yes I realize the game was 3 hours away but for this to be one of their biggest games you'd think more people would try to attend to support them (JMO of course). There is alot to be said for having fan support cheering you on. Yes I have seen them play better but I have also seen them play worse. I am very proud of these boys and they have nothing to hang their heads about. It's time to regroup and come out fighting on Thursday with as many LU fans that can make it rooting them on. Lets show everyone why we have the highest attendance in the SLC. Go Cards!!!

The crowd for Lamar's game last night in Corpus was terrible and it was a televised game--you'd think people would want to possibly have their faces shown on tv. With that being said I think it is a combination of several things already mentioned here. Wednesday night is a big church night and especially around Beaumont. I am a season ticket holder and we have had to miss some games a few years back due to church.

Great photo!!! I saw myself and our entire family in it!!! I do wish there were less empty seats.

I think you misread my comments. My comments were in support of the Hawk Hecklers. As far as my skin goes its pretty thick. ;D ;D

I thought this thread was about the Hawk Hecklers..........anyway here is my two cents. I think it is absolutely brilliant!! I watched them when they played OF in Orangefield. They were loud and did not appear to be disrespectful from where I was sitting. They had some clever chants (cheers for lack of a better word) and just really seemed supportive of their team. All schools should have something like this. It really reminded me more of a college type atmosphere. More power to them as long as they keep it classy!!!

actually that was mama cat's husband!!
