Yes, the last game was exciting to see so I’ll watch today. Let’s see if Richard continues playing the bench.

So it seems we have a winner in WBB. Havent been to a game but from the pictures still looks like a very light crowd. Not to say i expect a sell out but we have a winner here. I started thinking. How do we get attendance back up for all our sports. We have gone through essentially 25 years of not having winning programs as a whole. Thats 25 classes that have come through ULM that didnt see winners and get to experience a good atmosphere. Compared to a school like Gonzaga lets say. They have been very good in basketball. Those kids coming through undergraduate pack out the place. Experience is great and want to keep coming back for more after graduation. I feel we have lost so many grads coming back after graduation due to lack luster performance. Winning does help cure some. How do we reconnect and bring back alumni from past two decades specifically?

I never really thought about it before but after someone mentioned Vining laughing through all his comments it kinda bugs the crap out of me. I know he's done it forever, even when he was still teaching in the classroom, but it was so common it just sort of disappeared. Well now that you've mentioned it, it's all I hear from him. Thank you, you jackass. LOL

If someone wants to listen and post the high points they take away from it.

SBC says that we play App St twice on 02/07/24. The first game is at 5:30 and the second game is at 6:30.

These girl are off to a horrible start. Bradford doesn't look like she cares at all right now. Hopefully they will get it in get and take care of this bad team.

Texas State made headlines last week when Arizona quarterback Jayden de Laura transferred to the Bobcats. That caused a chain reaction that led to incumbent starter TJ Finley, who led the Bobcats to their first bowl win and most wins in program history, to transfer to Western Kentucky. Texas State confirmed Wednesday afternoon that de Laura is no longer at Texas State and won't be part of the football program.

"Jayden de Laura has withdrawn from Texas State University as a student and will not be part of the Texas State football program," Texas State said in a statement.

Do I think we will win? No. Am I betting $75 on us , cooking steak and yelling at my tv still? Yes. I’m ready to be hurt. Jags ain’t just walking into fant baby let’s go!!

Won again! 5 in a row!

Okay all you fans. We have a big winning team…. SHOW UP SATURDAY!!!!!!
And I will be there!

New Mexico stud running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt went in the portal today. He ran for 1190 yards and 17 touchdowns last year. He played for 3 or 4 years at Alabama State then transferred to New Mexico.

Let's see BV is from Alabama, Merritt is from Alabama, BV goes to New Mexico, then Merritt goes to New Mexico, then BV comes to ULM and Merritt comes to ULM. Why not!!!

She has been on the sideline with the team but it is official now. Meloney Thames was a JUCO All American. She had signed with Miss St but hit the portal before playing. She will play next year and have 2 years.

7 commits- one I posted about. The other 6, they do not want publicly released so sit tight and wait closer to signing day.

It's so long - so I broke it up. Here's the first part - link

Allow Keith Richard to retire on Monday morning. Monday afternoon announce Mike Vining as the interim HC for the remainder of the season. What do you think?

The two bottom teams in the Sunbelt. I sure hope the guys can have a good game and pull this one out. I don't know what it will take; having enough players would be a start.

I'll be interviewing Hartwell next friday - drop your questions here to be included.
