Nice road victory. Lamar trailed most of the game and came back to take a lead near the end of regulation. Nicholls tied to force overtime and Lamar came through with the victory.

Next is McNeese on the road Monday. McNeese probably the best in the Southland right now and undefeated at home.

Cards definitely stole one but also that’s about as well as I’ve seen them play.  The first two conference games were against probably the two worst teams in the conference.  The good news is Lamar isn’t the worst for the first time in 3 years.  Monday will tell us a lot about levels I think.

Smoketown gonna win state or what? Be real people 

This district ain’t helping.  I like them to get to SA.  Once there, the smart money is always on the metroplex but you never know.

Apparently so

I have no knowledge of talks of moving the game. If there is rain and wind chills in the single digits I’m not sure how that will affect buses running. But no, I haven’t heard any talks about it being moved.

Thank you!  I get if it’s freezing and wet but looks like it’s supposed to be sunny and freezing that part of the week. 

Is there a chance of precipitation on Tuesday?  Looks like it’s cold. Are they really talking about canceling games because it will be in the 20s?

No… the Golden Triangle is BMT, PA, Orange, and anything inside of the triangle formed by those three cities.  Or the Triplex, if you were around in the 80s.

SETX for me is basically anything East of the Trinity up to 190. But schools on the on that 190 corridor are kind of SETX outsiders. Livingston, Woodville, Jasper, and Newton are still in, but barely. 
 

Lum and Silsbee, for instance, are SETX but not Golden Triangle. Winnie? Setx, not triangle. Vidor? Triangle. Deweyville? SW Louisiana. 
 

It’s simple. 

This is the correct answer.

DeBoer has certainly proven that he is one of the best coaches in the country and it's a good move for both parties. 

What's next for UW? I lived in Seattle for a big chunk of my adult life and I've followed the program for a long time. The cupboard of top-flight coaches is pretty light. They might have to think outside the box, which is weird considering that they played for the natty just four days ago...

Got a bit of family in Gig Harbor so I’ve always followed since I was a kid in the Don James days.  DeBoer was kinda an outside the box hires.  He had always had success but not long at the D1 level.  The huskies seem to have a solid AD.  

it’s done. Good job Bammer. Impossible to replace what you had but probably the best you could do.

Best hire available in my opinion.  Perfect world, I would have been more than fine with Satk saying yes and UT poaching DeBoer.  I think he is that good.  We shall see I guess.

Yup. 

I would fly Mark Stoops in and then meet him on the tarmac, tell him we’ve changed our mind, and tell him it’s not him, it’s us.  If you have a chance to troll a stoops, you take it.

Ktz presses them out the gym.

Kountze’s depth along with the defense they play will cause 95 percent of teams serious problems.  It’s the 5 percent that have elite guards where it falls apart because it leads to easy buckets on the other end.  Then the question becomes how good is your half court defense?  As often as not, it’s relatively weak due to reliance on the press.  This is why relatively few teams do this at the next level and the ones that do, use it to eat shot clock vs causing turnovers   
 

Having said all that, Kountze could win every game by 20+ until they play a Hitchcock and then they could get beat by 20+ if they are unable to adjust.   In terms of Orangefield, Scales is probably the best ball handler I’ve seen there in the almost 30 years I’ve been following (and only a sophomore).  This will definitely be the most interesting matchup of the district imo  

One of the teams better not overlook Friday’s game or it won’t be the battle of the undefeateds.

FYI, Saban will still have an office in Bryant-Denny. He made clear to all involved today that he wants to help the next coach succeed and keep the program at the pinnacle of the sport. Milroe is signaling business as usual.

If it turns out to be Schumann, I’m a lot more comfortable with it under these circumstances.

I don’t necessarily hate that hire for Bama either.  Defense wins championships and he’s spent his entire coaching career under the greatest defensive mind (Saban) and second greatest defensive mind (Smart) in CFB.  Crazy to think someone that young could get that job.  But could be a genius hire.  If not, shouldn’t take a lot od money to get out of it.

Sounds like DeBoer is the favorite now

Supposedly the Nike money tied to Lanning is crazy.  To be honest, I’m not sure DeBoer wouldn’t be my first choice after Kirby of ANY coaches in college football (including Harbaugh).  104-12 record as a head coach is insane, at any collegiate level.  Imagine with Alabama’s resources and pedigree…

I think they should bring in John L. Smith. That'll keep em afloat 😁

Just saw a mock post on FB announcing Butch Jones 😂

I think he’d stay anyway. He’s about to be the HC of the premier team in the SEC. 

Saw some Alabama folks discussing this yesterday and they basically said the same.  They don’t think they could get Sark anyway.  I wouldn’t lose sleep either way to be honest.

Musical coaches starting now.  A lot of coaches will get paid.  

Any truth to the rumor Mike Elko just received a 10 year, $200 million extension, payable in riyals and plutonium?

One thing that's been a bit alarming to me this season with EC is their 2nd half play. Particularly the 4th quarter. They have laid an egg several times this season in the 4th.

EC has to finish games better going forward.

Happens with young teams.  They will get better with experience.

EC lost

I believe he’s talking about the game being closer than some would have thought.  Any win against a Todd Sutherland-coached team is a good win.  And I think some people assumed when Kountze blew them out that the Bucs wouldn’t be very good.  I think people may be under appreciating how good the Lions are. 

I didn’t know whether to put this in college sports or here but since they are obviously better at treason than football…

Isn’t open enrollment enough?  Now these idiots are selling nuclear technology to adversaries to pay ex-coaches and players for their dumpster fire program?  We don’t need this trash in the SEC or receiving PUF and/or other state funding…

Win or lose, these are invaluable games for the Tigers.  Especially since their district appears even weaker than usual this year.  I think the result, given the hand they were played, is probably as good as can be expected.  Silsbee would be my favorite out of region 3 to get to SA.
