[/quote] The last year they had UIL play offs in the Dome someone forgot to tell the vending company not to serve beer.  I walked up to the counter with BHFan and they had tapped the kegs.  We ordered as many as we could carry (yes $8 a pop) and headed down to the seats.  At least 5 rows in front of us an behind us rapidly made their way to the concession to find they had been informed this was a UIL event.  We sipped our beers and turned down lucrative offers from several folks.  You would have thought we had a trey full of false teeth in Dayton....... ;D ;D [/quote]yeah, um, about those beers, the UIL would like to see [b]both[/b] of you at their headquarters immediately following your[b] first round playoff exit [/b] this year to discuss the consumption of banned beverages at a UIL event. [/quote] Man, I'd gladly make that trip to see the UIL if that means we make the playoffs.  Maybe we need to sneak in in that 4th spot and change our luck.  I am SO READY for playoffs in Reliant.  Jerry's World sucks, the drive sucks, the food sucks, the prices for the food really sucks AND it's the Dallas Cowgirls stadium on top of it. [/quote] Alright now that is your opinion and that is fine...but your not giving Jerry World credit.  Food is expensive at any pro stadium.  The drive is gonna suck unless your playing in your own backyard.  We live in Texas...its a big state...get used to it.  The seats are quite comfortable and all have a good view.  And to top it all off...the kids (you know the important ones in the conversation) absolutely love playing there. [/quote] Bottom line, ALL things Dallas suck. [/quote] AMEN to that brother!!!!!!! [/quote] Haters!!! [/quote] Reliant has the cheapest beer in the NFL according to an article from the Houston Business Journal but who cares? $8 is the same price when I go to a gas station and buy like a six pack of beer or almost four 16 to 24 oz cans!

I hope we can vote to choose the right people when it is time coming in early November! I am sick and tired of this country going in the wrong direction! If I had to run for office, so help me gosh, I will!

Or AFA or BYU!

Dr. Thomas needs not be the President of Lamar! I don't he has experience teaching college nor being the administrator of higher education! We need some who is well qualified and has experience as a administer of higher education! Hiring Dr.Thomas would be a bad choice in my opinion!  When Dr. Simmons was hired as President, he had experience of being a professor, band director, and dean, all at LU! We want someone like that! Don't y'all agree?

I would say Vidor because it's one of the toughest stadium for top teams to win! WO-S was upsetted by Vidor on the Pirates' home turf like three times during the '90's! In 2003, the Mustangs finally won at Vidor for the first time since like 1988 (the year they went to the State Finals)! Still, Vidor is a tough place for visiting teams to win there!

If Jasper can resume their rivalry with Silsbee, then they can resume their rivalry with Newton!

I remember back in 1999 when WB, WO-S, and Jasper had a jamboree scrimmage with Sulphur! Both teams played great against the Golden Tors! I'd wish we'd do it again! That was a lot of fun!

Tom Berenger who played Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant in the movie The Junction Boys quoted, "I don't care who your father is. I don't care if you're All-State whatever in high school, and I don't care what the last coach promised you. You did stuff your way! We're going to work now!" Did any of your coaches use that mentality? They should go back to days like these when coaches care less who their fathers were! I know Cowboys Coach Garrett is doing that! What do y'all think?

Silsbee, if their budget allows, should get artificial turf to Tiger Stadium. That way, they should host more playoff gmes! That'll be great for 1A/2A teams!

I forward that to my cousin who has coaching experience. He played long snapper/tight end/defensive lineman in high school and was a former LCM/LU standout pitcher who played in the Colorado Rockies organization but never made it past AA. He would be great for the job but I don't know if he will apply but hopefully Colmesneil will find someone!

Keep it up, LU! Education always comes first! This is what they are here for!

This is going to be another exciting season of high school football in Southeast Texas!

Yeah, right? I thought the WAC is dead after UI and NMSU become the lone members!

I compare him to Coach T (WOS) bsullivan! He is a firm disciplinarian like him! Made boys into responsible young adults! Hopefully, someone will carry on Coach Lynch's tradition!

Tennis is one of the fastest growing sports in the nation! It's a lifetime sport (a sport that a person can play in a lifetime)! Anyone can play tennis! There should be schools in Southeast Texas that have a "no-cut" tennis program which means any student can and will not be denied a spot on the team although not everyone will earn a spot on the varsity! I hope an AD/head football coach could come in and hopefully increase not only participation in football but every sport as well! He should have an athletic program not only successful in winning and recruiting and retaining quality student-athletes, but successful in academics as well! Look at Coach Cris Stump at BC for example, he put Cardinal athletics on the map! He even started a soccer program! He had plenty of student-athletes earn academic all-district! I believe Coach Josh Smalley is the right person for the job! I've known him very well! He can put OHS athletics back in the map!

Lamar needs to stay competitive with McNeese as well as other schools in order to get to FBS! We need to come up with a plan and stick to it!

Will Sunday's game be the last for the legendary Coach G? We'll find out early next week!

And schedules need to strengthen as well! I don't want to see Division II teams who are very easy to beat! LU needs to play opponents that will toughen them up! Staying competitive!

We better start putting more wins on the board! I mean it! We have a lot of talented lettermen coming back and we don't have anything to lose!

When I was back attending middle school in West Orange back in the late '90's, I was in a special Ed/resource class. I was the only student motivated to get an education! Most of most classmates in that class, who were African-American, didn't want to be motivated to get an education. Would you like to know why? Because probably don't care! Their parents and boyfriends/girlfriends/fiance(e)s probably let them do whatever they want, wherever they want, anytime they want! My teacher was outraged when one of the students stay out until 3 am on school night and the parents think it's ok to let them do this! This is why they go into slavery of gangs and drugs rather than working hard and getting an education as well as getting involved in extra-curricular activities! Their ancestors have been freed from slavery and living the American dream just like everyone else! They do not need to be enslaved into substance abuse, gangs, and crime! That isn't living the American dream! Other than that, they obviously do not care!

I try to attend every chance I get! Texas State went FBS because of the large support from the students, alumni, and the Hays county/San Marcos community! If TXSU can do it, so can LU!

We need to start a petition drive in order to lobby to Commissioner Benson so that he could include Lamar in its conference expansion plans and we need to do it right now! Having Lamar going FBS would be a big advantage not only to the university but to the entire community like I said! It would attract students to both schools as well! It would heavily boost tourism and the economy to the Greater Houston/Golden Triangle area! Also, Lamar is more than one and a half to two hours from Houston and like three hours from New Orleans! We need to start getting off our rears and act now! If Lamar goes FBS and schedules a home game with the Air Force Academy, I will definitely be there! Would you? I understand that would be a few years from now if that dream becomes a reality!

Sooner or later, if Lamar goes FBS, our dream of brining like TCU, Texas Tech, Miami of OH, Miss. St., or maybe Air Force to PU could be a reality! Not only it will boost recruiting for both teams but boost the economy for the area as well in addition to attracting new students for both schools, especially Lamar!

The Bears have arguably the toughest schedule in the area overall! They better be prepared and highly motivated to face these Giants! I hope they watch the movie Facing the Giants!

I would like to show y'all the comparison of discipline differences back in 1960 and in 2008! I want you to go to YouTube and put in "Life in 1960 vs 2008." This is how everything compares between those years!
