The only idiot would be the guy that expected to keep his job after three straight sub .500 seasons in one of the worst conferences in the NCAA or his buddy!!! Probably best that you don't let your inner thoughts out as a member of the local media. Calling the people that pay your bills idiots is not smart!!! I just lost a lot of respect for you as a professional. I didn't know I was employed by setxsports.com. I'll start sending my bills your way. If you get your feelings hurt over something on a fan board, I feel sorry for you. Oh come on, you lost a lot of respect for me as a professional? You don't even know me. Come pay me a visit, I'm at Parkdale all day everyday.

All of you guys are idiots. Whoever the next coach is, you guys will be calling for him to be fired in mid season anyway so it doesn't matter who Lamar brings in.

sorry to burst your bubble....he's staying

FRISCO, Texas – The Southland Conference has received financial bids and supporting documentation from four Texas cities interested in serving as host for the league’s conference men’s and women’s basketball tournaments in 2012, 2013 and 2014.  The four cities are Arlington, Beaumont, Frisco and current host Katy, where the 2011 event will take place March 8-12 at the Leonard E. Merrell Center. The tournament has been played at a neutral facility since 2007, and Katy, a west Houston suburb, has hosted the event since 2008. “We are very pleased to receive four quality bid packages from these great locations,” Southland Commissioner Tom Burnett said. “It speaks very highly to how much the tournament has grown since our league went to the neutral site format in 2007. These bids ensure that we can continue to improve the event, and provide a traditional and outstanding Division I postseason basketball experience for our student-athletes, coaches, and those who follow our teams.” Katy bid on all three years for the event to continue at the Merrell Center. Arlington bid on all three years for the tournament at the new College Park Center, scheduled to open in the 2011-12 season on the UT Arlington campus. Beaumont bid on all three years played at the Ford Park Arena, and Frisco bid on the 2013 and 2014 events at Dr Pepper Arena. The conference’s athletic directors shall serve as the bid review committee, and it’s expected the group will make recommendations to the league’s Board of Directors for final approval in the coming months.

For the 400th time, the televised games were set in stone back in August. If you want to cry about which games are televised, call Lamar. They tell us which games they want televised.

Denver University, Texas-San Antonio and Texas State will join the WAC in 2012-13 to offset the departures of Boise State, Fresno State and Nevada to the Mountain West, multiple sources told ESPN.com. UTSA, which still needs official approval from the board of regents, and Texas State will join in all sports. Denver will join for all sports except for football, since the Pioneers don't play at the FBS level. The WAC will have eight football members, nine for men's and women's basketball. The WAC would have had six members in 2012-13 if nothing had been done with Hawaii, Louisiana Tech, Idaho, New Mexico State, Utah State and San Jose State. An announcement is expected from the WAC on Thursday. Montana could also join the WAC in all sports, especially if the Grizzlies decide to bump up from FCS to FBS in football. Montana, a FCS power, is expected to make a decision in the next few weeks. If the Grizzlies decide against the move then Seattle would likely step in with all sports except football. The WAC's perfect scenario, according to multiple sources, is to get to nine football schools, including Montana and 10 basketball schools. UTSA will start its football program as an FCS Independent in 2011. UTSA won't be in the Southland Conference in football that season. UTSA is then expected to make the jump to FBS football in 2012. UTSA will play in the Alamo Dome, home to the Alamo Bowl. Texas State and UTSA will leave the Southland Conference and pay an estimated $250,000 per school exit fee. Denver, which has been in the Sun Belt since 1999-2000, won't have a penalty for leaving, according to sources. The WAC's automatic berth to the NCAA tournament wasn't in jeopardy since the league had until 2014 to get to seven members. The WAC was prepared to add BYU to its membership for all sports but football in late August before the MWC invited Fresno State and Nevada to block the move. BYU went independent in football but then chose to put the rest of its sports in the WCC. Fresno State and Nevada wanted to leave the WAC for next season but struck a deal to stay until June 30, 2012, in exchange for paying a lower exit fee of $900,000 per school.

Despite going into the 2010 Southland Conference Baseball Championships as the No. 7 seed in the eight-team field, Lamar University’s Cardinals made Corpus Christi’s 3,500-seat Whataburger Field their own little pleasurable playground. Beginning with a 4-3 victory over second-seeded Northwestern State in the first round, the Cardinals swept through the four-day tournament to win it in stunning fashion to earn Lamar’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 2004 and its’ 13th overall. Coach Jim Gilligan’s gallant club followed the win over Northwestern State with back-to-back triumphs of 10-7 and 9-3 over No. 6-seed McNeese State, which had defeated them four times during the regular season. The Cards then overwhelmed regular-season champion Texas State 17-7 in the championship game. The Cardinals were assigned a No. 4 seed in the Fort Worth Regional where they went up against the nation’s fifth-ranked TCU Horned Frogs on their home field in the first round. Playing before a partisan crowd of 3,135 in Lupton Stadium, the Frogs pulled away to a 16-3 win. The Cardinals bowed to Baylor 6-4 in an elimination game the next day but not before Joey Latulippe slugged a three-run home run in the ninth inning or before Jonathan Dziedzic rose to the top of the SLC’s strikeout chart. The dramatic home run was the sixth of the season for Latulippe, a junior catcher from League City who finished the season with a .302 batting average. Dziedzic, a freshman left-hander from Humble Atascocita, struck out eight Baylor batters to improve his season total to 114 in 94 innings, moving him one ahead of the 113 strikeouts accumulated by Texas-Arlington’s Jason Mitchell in 112 innings. With his eight K’s in the season finale, Dziedzic zoomed past former Cardinal pitchers Mike Pasqualichio, Craig Fisch and Rick Nesloney into second place on Lamar’s one-season strikeout list. With 127 in 2002, only Clay Hensley, who now pitches for the Florida Marlins, has had more one-season strikeouts than Dziedzic. Before Latulippe and Dziedzic came to the forefront during the Fort Worth Regional, the center stage at Whataburger Field belonged to outfielder Anthony Moore. After collecting 10 hits in 16 at-bats for a sizzling .625 average, the senior from Cedar Hill was voted the SLC Tournament’s Most Valuable Player and he was named the CB360 National Primetime Player of the Week. He hit three home runs in tournament play, drove in six and scored six. Latulippe, who hit safely in all four games, and Dziedzic, who had a win and a save during tournament play, joined Moore on the 11-player, all-tournament team. The Cardinals finished the season with a 35-26 record, marking the 21st time in Gilligan’s 33 years at the helm for them to reach that plateau. Their five-game winning streak to open the season included a 13-7 victory at ninth-ranked Rice University, and they also won two of three games over No. 21 Southeastern Louisiana. With junior shortstop Aaron Buchanan and junior second baseman Andy Mena leading the way with respective averages of .349 and .347, the Cardinals batted a stout .301 for the season. Senior outfielder Quentin Luquette led them in runs batted in with 52 and in stolen bases with 18, and Moore was the home run leader with 10. Senior right-hander Matison Smith topped the pitching staff with a 10-4 record and a 4.68 earned run average, and his 117.1 innings pitched rank third on the Cardinals’ all-time, one-season list. Mena was voted to the All-SLC third team, while Luquette, Smith and junior pitcher Eric Harrington (8-3, 5.02 ERA) made the honorable mention list. Other Cardinals batting over .300 were junior first baseman Wade Mathis (.328), junior third baseman Pablo Salinas (.323), Luquette (.310) and Moore (.309).
