geezer Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 The '62 Mets did win 40 games. Yeah, but they lost 120 games. A little better than Lamar Football last year, but not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Yeah, but they lost 120 games. A little better than Lamar Football last year, but not much. I predict this game will be a lot closer than most people think. They do not have film on this team and they can not be used to the heat and humidity of SE Texas.

coachacola Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Well, we only had one win last year so certainly this year will be better? On one hand, LU did hire a coach that has actually head coaching experience with a track record of turning programs around. On the other hand, we are talking about LU football.

NorthoftheBorder Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 They used to release Game Notes on or before game day and you could read them on the Athletic website. I have looked all over and they don't have them. Would like to see the depth chart and also read up on the opponent some. I guess we continue to slip, probably had to eliminate a position in the athletic dept and can't get that out to the media anymore. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Idaho has game notes but no depth chart for LU, only Idaho. https://govandals.com/documents/2023/8/28/Week_1_-_LAMAR.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Dixon AD for media relations just quit doing game notes a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthoftheBorder Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 No they did not eliminate a position. James Dixon AD for media relations just quit doing game notes a couple years ago. Well Sh*t! They help keep interest with the fans and inform the media. Not a smart decision if you ask me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 So far it's the same thing we saw last year. Extremely inconsistent or lack of offense and defense gives up some big plays and plenty of excuses from the announcers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Looks like my prediction was way off. I just hope Idaho is a lot better than I thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 Idaho's offense was very good last year and they have most of the key pieces back so their scoring isn't a big surprise, but Lamar had a total of ten offensive attempts for their first three drives.

geezer Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 Lamar offense has played better in the second half, but still inconsistent. Coleman appears to be a better passer in the pocket, but inaccurate when forced to scramble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthoftheBorder Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Well, if Idaho popped us 42-17, then next week we can probably expect ULM to put something like a 66-6 *sswhipping on us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 It's hard to say what the rest of the year will be like. Lamar played better in the second half, but unless there is major improvement throughout the season, this year will still be ugly. On the other hand the conference went one and seven with the lone win coming against a nobody for HCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
