Lamar beat McNeese tonight to clinch the East division and there first 20 win season since 88! Thanks to all the fans that showed up to pull them through. Best crowd in my opinion in years. Announced as 5138.

Cards are the 3 seed and play NW State at 2:30 Wednesday in Katy in the conference tournament.

They won 20 games in 1988, and Tony Branch gets fired....They win 20 games in 2012, and Pat Knight is a genius... :o :o...Am I the only one that finds that a bit odd?

That's because in 1988 the elevator was on the way down, in 2012 it is on the way up.  As you know, the record of your predecessor many times dictates how dumb or smart you are.

Well, I can go with that...Were they winning big in the seasons prior to 1988, though? Maybe I am too young, but I don't remember Lamar exactly dominating the league prior to 88'. I just thought Tony Branch was not really given a chance. I think Pat Knight is a doing a fantastic job thus far, but I guess it just shows where the program at Lamar is and was..

Wasn't Tom Abatemarco the last coach with 20 wins. If my memory is correct Tony Branch didnt win 20 career at Lamar let alone one season.

Correct. Abatemarco was the last to win 20. Branch never won 20 at Lamar.

Wong. Tom coached the '87-'88 season. Went 20-11. That was his last year at Lamar(and last 20 win season). Branch coached two seasons at Lamar, '88-'89 and '89-'90. Tony went 12-16 and 7-21 in those two seasons.

When was the last time the Southland had three 20 win teams? UTA and Lamar are there and SFA has 19

Three SLC teams won 20 games in 2007-2008 when Lamar went 13-3 in conference and won 19 games.  That was an odd year because Lamar started 3-6 and those 3 wins were against non-D1 teams.  Also that season all those teams played 4 non-D1 schools, this year UTA only played one and LU just 2.  Hopefully we'll see a 25-7 UTA team against a 22-11 LU team in the SLC tourney final on ESPN2!

      Well, the ones who are upset by this are the same ones who can’t define a woman. There was another woman who everybody came down on for hunting. We are a nation of the offended.

      For what it’s worth, polling after this came out show her with an 81% disapproval rating.  Only 21% of republicans said she’d be a good choice for veep, and only 28% of self-identified “very conservative” voters said she’s a good option.  Bragging about killing a dog apparently resonates poorly across political affiliations.

      They don’t, and they won’t.  May not be an issue in South Dakota, but certainly is on the national stage.  Even my mother in law, who strictly watches OAN and thinks Trump is a great guy who’s never committed a crime in his life is completely disgusted by this.  I know about bad dogs, and don’t have an issue with what she did,  and I’m sure most of us on here agree.  But as is often this case, it’s not going to be our opinions that decide this election.  I thought she might be a valuable running mate that could bring in the female vote, but I’m hoping Trump has the sense to stay away from her now.

      I like the approach, here it is, if you don’t like it don’t vote for me, it’s refreshing to see the Ronald Reagan approach. Not every statement needs to be based on a perceived reaction from folks. Don’t think for a minute democrats didn’t have this knowledge, just not the right time to use it, remember Romney and the dog carrier, they knew.
