Woodard calls out quitters after Lamar win


Recommended Posts

And Herschel Sims jumps on Twitter and says he didn't quit.  He said that the coach asked him to clean out his locker when he told him he wasn't coming back next year.  But he didn't quit... ::)

why would rayray call out the fans? the team is terrible and i dont put the blame solely on the players...at times the team has looked unprepared this season..and that falls on coaching...sorry rayray...u will not fill the stands winning only 3-5 games a season...

I've given Woodard the benefit of the doubt the last 2 years, but calling out fans twice this season is not smart.  I've had season tickets and a tailgating spot since day 1 when the program was brought back and he's calling me out.  I didn't go to the game yesterday, I stayed home and watched the biggest game of the day with family and friends who I tailgate with.  My biggest problem with Lamar is I don't see any improvement from year 1 to now year 3.  3-5 and only winning one conference game is not going to cut it.  I'll renewal my season tickets and tailgating spot again next year, but better results are expected.  Not smart Woodard on calling out the fans.  Get Better!!!!

I was disappointed in Saturday's attendance, but I don't think this season's attendance warranted what I would term as a "Burn the Bridges" type of statement by Coach Woodard with his calling out the fans.  Just for comparison below is the conference's average attendance according to today's NCAA statistics through November 11.  [url=http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/mainpage.jsp]http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/mainpage.jsp[/url]

FCS Attendance ranking is to the left of team.  SLC record and overall records to the right.

23.  McNeese - 12,237 3-3 6-4  (Receiving votes in the Coaches and The Sports Network FCS poll  11/5/2012)
25.  Lamar - 11,119  1-5  4-7
36.  SHSU - 9,352* 6-1 8-2  (#3 in Coaches and The Sports Network FCS poll  11/5/2012)
40.  UCA - 8,909  6-1  8-2  (#13 in Coaches and #14 in The Sports Network FCS poll  11/5/2012)
43.  NWSU - 8,759  2-4 4-6
76.  SFA - 6,301*  3-4 4-6
81.  Nicholls State - 5,651 0-6 1-8
85.  SELU - 5,266  4-2 4-6

*SHSU vs SFA game at Houston's Reliant Stadium pulled in 26,185
** SFA, UCA, and McNeese have one home game remaining this season.

Just for grins, there are three FBS programs below us in average attendance this year.

Akron - 9,275
San Jose State - 9,228
Eastern Michigan - 4,437

Why should I spend my money to see Lamar beat on teams like Langston or McMurray? Calling out fans to see an inferior product is not a good move Coach.
In the business world, if your product stinks and people stop visiting your store, you go out of business.
Three years is enough time to see some improvement Coach, and I see none.

I disagree that there has been no improvement in three years.  Lamar has improved, although not by a great margin.

Lamar needs consistency by playing well for two halves.  In several of the games this season, Lamar played either a good first half or a good second half.  For example, Lamar played pretty well in the first half against Sam Houston but let the game get away in the second half.  They played poorly in the first half against Central Ark but outscored them in the second half.

The areas that Lamar must improve are consistency, special teams, and cut down on the turnovers.

Lamar has a great opportunity to end the season on a positive note by beating McNeese.

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
