Thank you for the information, simply means they will be 1 and done

11-37 and 5-19 that is atrocious 19-80 the past 2 seasons. The only season Hooks had a winning record in her 1st year at Lamar was because she had the majority of Bruder’s recruits still there. Since then, Lamar has been horrible  Lamar hired an AD that only cared about tennis and knew nothing by about hiring quality coaches

I don’t think I have ever seen a Lamar softball team this poor the past 2 seasons. Could possibly be the worst D1 program in the nation theses past 2 seasons. Looks like an 11-37 season which would make them 19-80 the past 2 years. They may get lucky and finish 20-79. There is obviously not much talent alongside poor coaching and a total lack of recruiting 

I certainly hope that Brooks gets the Cards back, however don’t look for it to be a hurry 

That sounds like there is some poor coaching when a D1 college baseball team continues to commit errors.  I can understand a few, but they have way too many.

Another excellent post
Thanks for your work on this

A very good post by you and you are very correct on the all time state of Lamar athletics I simply think they should be able to compete with the ACU, SHS, SFA, Tarketon State programs but they don’t. Why?  And again I agree with you always mediocre, so for me their expectations are too low

It’s not that I don’t like Lamar, I am totally frustrated by their lousy performance in all major sports. If you look at D1 rankings, they are almost dead last in every major sport and there are almost 400 D1 colleges mentioned. Football did not win a game because the NCAA called the only win a scrimmage, the mens basketball team did not beat one D1 school, the softball team is 8-60 the last year in a quarter, Franklin has a losing record in womens basketball as well as Davis in baseball
Yes I am certainly frustrated and highly disappointed with an athletic program this poor

Every time you think Lamar Baseball has turned the corner and is finally going to have a good team they get destroyed by someone
Then you realize that their 8 wins have been against some weak times and then you realize that Davis can’t get the job done

Just do not see Nederland doing well in district this year the way they are playing. i think they will beat PAM and BU. Looks like 4-8 in district(5th out of 7). They must have many from football since it was so bad this year. I am thinking not much talent this year

sad isn’t it

Certainly need to give Brooks a chance, however Lamar struggling competing in all sports. I guess they just can’t recruit probably due in part to an ugly campus, not much to do in Beaumont, and losing programs. It seems to me since Born was hired as AD, all programs are worse. Bruner had the softball team winning, Hooks can’t sniff a win, Harmony had the womens basketball competing, this coach struggles, winning, Davis has proven that he can’t win in baseball. I don’t know what the athletic programs problems are, but it is not good. I sure hope Brooks can turn it around

Have you noticed that he doesn’t stay at one place very long. I think that they get tired of his arrogance in a hurry 

PNGFaithful
I watched 10 Bulldog games and I saw a text n of arm tackling and poor fundamental tackling skills. In other words, a very weak defense
Faircloth takes the top athletes and puts them on offense and then the defense takes shape. He gets ridiculed, but seems to make the playoffs. 
I don’t know if Barrow and staff have been to the playoffs more than 1 time since he has become head coach. 
PNG and Nederland have just about equal talent, however it seems as if PNG gets more production from their players than Nederland does in my opinion

Stattrax, you may be right in Monte being a good choice, however in my opinion, the coaching staff did a poor job this year.  If you look at every position, as a unit, I didn’t see any excel.  It didn’t matter whether it was the OL, QB, RB, receivers, DL, LBer’s, or Sec.
I also don’t think 6 out of 8 is close to the dance and they didn’t come to play every night.  If you think they came to play vs BH and KP, I would question that

The Bulldog faithful can rave about Barrow and coaching staff all they want and yes they did a good job last year.  
This season the Bulldogs were a very poorly coached team.  They may have broken a record in getting personal fouls, which shows zero discipline and lack of character.
Every offensive position coach did a poor job in my opinion. The offense was extremely weak n all positions . Defensively, the secondary was really weak and I saw little effort the last 3 games of the season.   
Whoever called the fake punt in their own territory and only down 17-10 made a tremendously poor decision, probably the turning point of the game. 
Hopefully they can turn it around next season. They lost 4 of the last 5 games and that 6th place finish leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Crosby probably about 70-14
Nederland’s defense the last 2 weeks looks like they put 11 orange cones on the field instead of players. The effort has been as bad as I have seen in years
Offensively the OLine and QB are just not very good
Just one of those bad years for the Bulldogs I guess the talent is not there this season

WOS 6-0
HF 4-2  plus 6
Silsbee 4-2  minus 1
OF 4-2. minus 5

thanks Hagar good job

Yes Brubaker I would say I have the ability  to observe film and know what a team’s strong points and weak points are.
If you look at the whole picture, you will realize that of the 6 wins, only 2 were against decent opponents.  WOS who did not have Thompson that night and a ton of penalties and PNG.  The other 4 wins were against weak opponents and yes Silsbee is weak this year.

How about a quick recap of the games they have played so far.
They have played 2 good teams, 2 average teams, 1 that is below average this year and 3 really bad teams.
The WOS game was a big win, however if you watched the entire game, Nederland had a dozen or less offensive plays with 2 big pass plays for TD’s.  Just about every time WOS made a big run it was called back for a penalty, plus Thompson was not there, but a big win
.Houston Austin, Santa Fe, and Dayton are bad football teams this season. The Dogs had big wins in all games, but did not play well in the Austin and Santa Fe games.  They looked very sluggish in the Austin game and scored fewer points than any other team in district against Santa Fe at home.  They did play pretty good defense vs Dayton and actually ran the ball well.
The Silsbee and PNG games were big wins, however in both games the defense was bad in the 1st half.  Thankfully the Silsbee defense was worse than Nederland’s in the 2nd half and PNG choked the pooch with turnovers in the 2nd half.  Still both good wins.
Against TC, the offense was awful. They could not score from a 1st and goal at the 3 yard line and the safeties were lost as a goose on TC’s 2 TD’s, especially the one right before half.  That was the 2nd worse game the Dogs have played this year.
Finally, the BH game at home was atrocious. BH pujnted 1 timeand had over 600 yards on offense.  The Nederland defensive game plan was bad.
I would say that I look at the total picture of the game dogbite

outa up is correct about the offense. RB’s are not very good, QB’s accuracy is poor, only 1 decent receiver, and the Oline is really bad, however the defense is also bad.  The secondary is basically non existent, only 1 decent LB’er, and the Dline is weak, so yes they have probably over achieved
7-3 not bad, 4-3 district, and unfortunately sitting at home during the playoffs

for all you folks that keep saying Nederland’s Oline and defense is good, shame on you for telling a tale. Simply put they are BAD!  Crosby may score 80 on the Dogs
