UMHB and HSU would both finish top 3 in the LSC every single year. UMHB hasn’t lost a regular season game to a team not named HSU since 2009. HSU is 44-7 in conference play with 2 losses to conference teams not named UMHB since 2015. If you’re judging a team based on how they do against the purple and gold teams in the ASC, you’re looking at the wrong things. The only other blowout loss was in their first game with a new HC to a team whose only loss came to UMHB.
These are "schools" in name only. Really they are just places called schools for athletes to ball, with essentially zero academic accountability. Been that way for a while. The entire enterprises are a charade. You can toss in East Texas Baptist and Howard Payne, too. That is why the real schools in the conference, such as McMurry and Sul Ross, are leaving the ASC.Last edited by Herb Street; 01-20-2023, 11:26 AM.

Here are several reasons Sul Ross will have the ability to compete in the LSC:
1. They’re the least expensive 4 year school in Texas. Add in partial scholarships and very few schools will be able to compete financially.
2. They have a wide range of graduate programs. They’ll be able to attract grad transfers much easier than some lender places.
3. The academic requirements to get in are very manageable. As long as a kid is in the top 50% of his high school class, he gets automatic acceptance. Grad programs only require a 2.5 undergrad GPA. This will let them recruit some kids that the competition won’t be able to touch.
4. This coaching staff has always shown their ability to recruit at a much higher level than previous regimes. There were 6 D1 dropdowns on the roster in 2022. Purely in terms of numbers, the Lobos are recruiting much better than they had in the past. 127 players on the roster in 2022, 46 more than there were on the roster in 2019.
I can’t say with any certainty that Sul Ross is gonna be winning the LSC in the near future, but there’s a lot more working in their favor than you would think just by looking at how they fared playing as a D3 school playing against schools that play by a different set of rules.

Kids do poorly in high school for many reasons and D2 can allow them opportunities to atone for that poor performance. My best friend went through difficulties growing up that no kid should, he would have gone D1 had he been able to focus on school rather than where he was going to find his next meal or where he was going to sleep that night. He wound up at Pueblo, was highly successful, and is making 6 figures now.
Funny coming from a fan of a school with over a 70% acceptance rate though, stop pretending like Angelo is tough to get into.

It had to be said I'm sorry.
