Lone Star Conference Media Day 2018

The Buffs are such an unknown quantity going into the season. Coming off a semi-disastrous first year, an early win over Pueblo, horrendous injury problems, new staff new system, ran out of bodies because they refused to break about 20 redshirts, and no one knows what to expect. Looking at the roster, the Buffs are young, young, young. That can be a great thing if they are talented. The staff believes in their talent. A lot of good young OLs, DLs, LBs, WRs, a few good transfers, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to see 5 or 6 incoming freshmen crack the 2 deep chart. I've heard the talent is there. The staff will have a lot of teaching and coaching to do. Still, young talent needs seasoning. The one thing this team will have, which was it's downfall last year, is some depth.

As a WT fan, if you believe in Coach Hughes and his staff, and I do, you want to see the Buffs win at least 5 this year, but no less than 4. And, be competitive

Who does WT finish ahead of to get to 5th place?

If Angelo State has a disappointing season in 2018, perhaps Kliff Kingsbury might be available to coach the Rams. That is assuming TT does not win the Big XII this year.

Hahahahahahahaha

Cant argue with that for the LSC. MW has been tough to beat in conference no doubt. Commerce has a goal winning the last game on December 15 again though and repeating as National Champions.

Maybe focus on winning August 30th.....and then each week thereafter.

Re: Lone Star Conference Media Day 2018

I saw Wilson in the Spring Game. I have sources there who tell me all he needs is time to learn the offense, and this was in March. We're going to be much better balanced on offense, and Carandale Hale is primed to explode. He had a ton of combined yards last year.

Until we beat Midwestern in Wichita Falls, I have to agree(I'm an ET alum). Nine starters back on the best defense in D2. We're going to be better balanced on offense.

Re: Lone Star Conference Media Day 2018

Too early for me to predict anything crazy for Commerce yet. We return 9/11 on defense though and I think we should be at least sniffing top 10 in overall Defense in the country this year. Our special teams should be better than last year. The QB position is the guess factor. Wilson looks like a dual threat beast but I havent had eyes on him yet, and Wheeler has tremendous passing ability, but hasnt been forced to make game speed decisions yet. Our receiving corps should be better than good with Hobbs at TE and 3 players returning who were very good last season. Our running game should be outstanding provided the new OL players mesh well after the loss of Machorro (which shouldnt be underrated, that dude made the NFL team in Indianapolis).

The LSC is a 2 horse race. I think Midwestern has too many question marks on defense at this point to be sure of what they will be able to do this year. Winner of the TAMC/MW game in Wichita Falls will likely produce the Conference champion and maybe the Regional #1 seed.

I think a realistic expectation for both teams is to make the NCAA tourney, and Im hoping for at least one home game in Commerce in the playoffs this year (preferably not against MW).

We will suck again in 2018 and our D will give up 1,022 points this season.

There is no hope, all in lost, oh woe is us.

Maybe our O can score 10 points (our season high) against New Mexico Highlands.

Commerce will score over 110 against us on opening day.

It is going to ugly.

This is so depressing.

Nothing to worry about our Javelinas; might as well do a Humboldt State and sh!t can the football program.

Did I mention we will suck?

Nice to hear that HOGSVRR is bubbling with optimism!

Re: Lone Star Conference Media Day 2018

I would bet $100 that if we finish in 5th in the conference, we have announce that we are looking for a new coach the day after the last game of the season. Football is the only sport on campus that is not competitive for a conference championship. And in turn a National Championship.

I'm truly conflicted because I really like the staff that we have. I think they are great people and help mold kids into upstanding young men, but I just don't think this group will get us into the hunt for a conference championship on a regular basis. There is no reason that football shouldn't be able to perform at the same level as every other sport on campus save men's basketball (but they are 1 or 2 years removed from a sweet 16 appearance)

If Angelo State has a disappointing season in 2018, perhaps Kliff Kingsbury might be available to coach the Rams. That is assuming TT does not win the Big XII this year.

Re: Lone Star Conference Media Day 2018

LMAO, I would say you are sandbagging, but last season says otherwise. The Jewell game was brutal. I agree with Casual Observer picking Hogs 6. Not sure about Brokebacks being picked 3rd, talent was mia a lot last season. Addition of ex WNMU HC on defense may be a difference maker. Angelo showed they could put up a lot of points at times. Hung 40 on Hogs, 51 on WT and 74 on Falcons.
