[quote name="NorthoftheBorder" post="825963" timestamp="1281968139"] They started putting it up this morning. [/quote] Boy this is going slow.  They must be screwing in each of the million light bulbs individually before they hang it up on the frame work.

I don't believe Lumberton finishes in the cellar in 20 4A.  4th to 6th is, in my humble opinion, a more likely finish.

[quote name="TexasTerror" post="827767" timestamp="1282307517"] UNLV, you are the leader of the blind... Which Sun Belt schools would go to the WAC? North Texas turned them down when they were a much more impressive league. ULL and ULM do not have the financial means to play in a spread out WAC. They barely compete in the SBC! If anything, La Tech - despite bad blood - will get over it and join the SBC (perhaps along with New Mexico State). La Tech' would get taken care of in expansion with nearby teams in Texas (TXST, UTSA) - but they know what's in front of them. Cheaper to play in the Sun Belt, a chance to be competitive in all sports and quite frankly - the WAC is weaker than the SBC now (and all the media is confirming it!). [/quote] I agree with UNLV on this point for sure.  Invites the a FBC conference will not come around very often and if you pass it up, you may not get another chance.  I hope Jimmy Simmons is priming the pump of the major donors in anticipation that the "cards" may fall into place and LU gets the chance to move up.

[quote name="CardAmbassador" post="827356" timestamp="1282243224"] [quote author=NorthoftheBorder link=topic=71799.msg827341#msg827341 date=1282240964] What position does he play and what High School did he attend? [/quote] Westbrook and he was a DE in high school, I don't know if he continued in that role at ASU though. [/quote] How big is he and how long at ASU?  How much elgibility left?

With Jacob Hanna already transferring and now Anthony Beard, LU will have 5 really talented kids from Lumberton's back to back district champ teams on the roster.  I think all 5 of these guys will be big contributors before they finish there LU careers.

What position does he play and what High School did he attend?

Family.

He is very knowledgeable and I miss his input.  Start posting again Coachacola.  The board is better when you contribute.

Haven't seen a post in over 2 months from him.  Is he still active on the board?

I think Tiger saw the future this weekend.  When Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson can hit there drives off the tee consistently 350-375yds, I think we will have a changing of the guard in the near future.  That doesn't say anything else about the other young guns like McIlroy, Kaymer, Barnes, Kim, etc who show a lot of potential will do in the future.  What Mickelson and his contemporaries were not able to do, these young guys just might just knock him off of the top spot.  Only time will tell.

What are the ticket office hours going to be during the next 3 weeks?

They started putting it up this morning.

There are 81 players currently on the roster.  There are 18 players listed at some OL position but only 6 I think for the DL.  Maybe someone knows more about this.

I don't think he is on the roster.

The webcam shows the scoreboard has arrived.  Maybe they will put it up this weekend.

I agree.  Does anyone know how he was injured?

Does anyone know what kind of crowd the McNeese brass is expecting for the Lamar game?

[color=purple]"He pushed me hard," Bertrand said. "He set the standard for PN-G running backs. I'm determined to keep that in my mind and to live up to that. That is a goal of mine. I want to do what he did."[/color] I thought PNG did a good job with conveying the tradition & history of the program.  Harmon was a good back not doubt and I hope he does great a LU, but claiming he is the standard bearer with the Jeff "the Jet" Bergeron having been a HS All American is hard for me to see.

You have to believe that he will win tournaments again and a few more majors, but right now he is in a funk and you just don't know which direction he will go.  My opinion is I don't think he will ever get back to the dominating place that he was, but what do I know.

Does anyone know if the locker rooms are ready for the team to start practice with in the Athletic Complex?  What about the training rooms and weight lifting rooms?  I know that people in the know are viewing this site.

Let's hope that Mr. Reeves is a difference maker for out athletic dept.

I have been a big fan of Bob's column's for a long time but I have noticed that the last few years he manages to get in some political commentary in his Sunday articles.  I really wish he would refrain from his political beliefs on the sports page.  Since he and I seem to not see eye to eye, it really detracts from me reading his column.  I think the editor would be more than happy to let him write a column on the editorial page if he is compelled to let everyone know how he feels.  I don't think that in the "good old days" of a more fair and balanced media (20+ years ago or more) that sports editors would allow political commentary on the sports page.

My how Southlake Carroll has fallen from the top.

From TT..... [shadow=red,left]FAU went 4-6 and 2-9 before making the playoffs in year three. Lost 40-7 in their opener of college football to Slippery Rock. It took several years before they were rolling, going 11-3 in year three. Of note, FIU who started a year later has not had a winning record. Comparisons can be made between Schnelly/Coker and Strock/Woodard.  Strock and Woodard are eerily alike. Both had time in Arena and NFL Europe. Schnelly and Coker had a big year or few at The U. Interesting...[/shadow] Comparisons are easy to make and I agree that sometimes they prove out but then again sometime they don't.  The Lamar faithful, although some would have liked a big name (big names have gone to new colleges before and not duplicated the success they had in previous jobs), I believe are very supportive and behind coach Woodard.  They will give him a fair chance, and I believe are all very upbeat and positive about his chances to succeed in the long haul.  Time will tell, but it always does in all matters of life.
