[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1031754" timestamp="1312528456"] I was at the practice tonight. It's going to be a battle for that #1 QB position. All three looked good. Jeremy had a little more zip on the ball than the other two and was much quicker and faster in running the zone read. Jeremy also was the only player who stayed after practice for voluntary workouts. I predict he will be the man by the 3rd game of the season. [/quote] Youre a JJ homer though so I would have expected nothing less of your assessment, except that I figured you'd have said by the start of the season he would be #1....

So add this into the already horrible problem of the parking shortage on campus.  [/quote] I don't go to Lamar, but I'm pretty familiar with the campus.. There is not that much available room to add new parking lots anywhere near the stadium. Their best option would be to go "Big School" with the addition of a couple of parking garages to save space while still creating parking options... That's what all universities do now.. And Lamar IMO has no other option to address the need of parking. [/quote] Im not saying build new lots.  Im saying open more lots up for tailgating.  As long as the people are standing in line to pay for it there is no reason people cant tailgate all over the place.  Similar to UT tailgates that go on in lots all over downtown for blocks away from the stadium.

[quote name="AJ25" post="1004878" timestamp="1304357362"] I think it's pretty funny that Lamar has had a program again for 2 years now, and is getting more respect about moving up than a program like Sam Houston that has had a program in place for so long now. lol [/quote] Lamar should get more respect (With regards to moving up) but not because your program is leaps and bounds better than SHSU, but because your school has more money, has a stadium that basically meets the bare minimum of attendance already, your attendance is night and day different than SHSU and probably most importantly your administration and fans desperately want to make that move and are willing to do what it takes to make it happen and SHSU's is maybe 50/50 split on the idea at best...I personally think it would be an utter disaster for our program if we made this move at this point.

[quote name="UNLV" post="1004845" timestamp="1304352733"] I wonder what SFA is thinking. SHSU would not be allowed to play at SFA and SFA won't only play at SHSU. Without that game SHSU already low attendance will drop further unless some huge names play at SHSU. [/quote] I doubt the SHSU side of this "Rumor" is true.  I was at the Football Dinner/Auction last month where Bobby Williams stated the plan is to become the best FCS football team we can be while preparing to become an FBS school in the "Future".  Also when he showed the slides for their presentation to potential FBS conferences he specifically said "this is a small part of our presentation we will give when we are asked"  not that He has already given...as to the SFA game it is scheduled to be played at a neutral location for the next 4 seasons so the home and home issue may be a mute point, but Im not sure how that works exactly....

[quote name="bigred360" post="970035" timestamp="1298395711"] I was with you until the last sentence. We couldn't be a [b]doormat [/b] for 10+ year if this is just our second year of the program. Secondly, this defense is going to be a lot better than you think because they will have played in the 4-2-5 scheme for a year. A few of the guys played other positions in the past and will have a second season at their position. Then you can't put a limit to the amount of improvement being able to workout in the new Athletic Complex will have on the whole team. The weight and conditioning facility is really aweome as I have been able to see it first hand. This team with over 20 seniors will do better the TT prediction of 4-7 but probably not as good as my wishful 8-3. BTW, there are still a couple of scholarships open and if a good RB becomes available Lamar will sign them. [/quote] Slow down and read...he said dormant...I think you finish 6-5.

We will not let Txst and Lamar go FBS and us stay FCS. Why would we? In our capital campaign we raised over 61 million dollars in four years in a down economy so money isn't as big of a deal as some may think. If there is a reason to get behind something our alums will pony up the cash. (By the way the goal was 50 miilion in five years) I think our two schools are joined at the hip. Unfortunately, I think Lamar is driving this whole thing. You guys want to jump a lot more than we do. If Lamar wants to go bad enough the Lamar University "big wigs" will make it happen. Yall will jump and (by default) so will we. [/quote]According to katfans, Lamar will be jumping off a cliff if we go FBS. Are you saying SHSU will jump off a cliff if LU jumps?: Sounds brainless to me a school not being able to think for itself. SHSU, Lamar's shadow. I mean think about, SHSU can't move on issues until Lamar decides. LOL, losers. [/quote][/quote] Wow! You missed it! Let me simplify it for you UNLV: For everyone else: We (SHSU) would prefer to stay but may have to adjust our plans contingent upon potential movements in the FBS (Lamar included). [/quote]If you prefer to stay FCS, STAY FCS. Do what is best for SHSU. You don't see Lamar letting SHSU lead it around. Why Lamar?   Why not say 'if TX st goes FBS, then SHSU will go. Why link yourself to Lamar. You have more in common with TX st. Lamar played football at the highest level, Tx st has not. Lamar use to be in the Sunbelt, Tx st did not. Lamar is just moving back to a level it was before, Tx st is in new territory. Why not SHSU go attach itself to TX st jock. Get off ours, creepy. [/quote][/quote] 1) Um... You are aware that Texas State is already going to the WAC right? 2) We are doing what is best for SHSU. Being in a diluted SLC while our peers are in a higher (but yet equally weak) conference isn't a good look for our school. 3) Why Lamar? Duh, because Lamar is still in the FCS with us. Don't get me wrong Lamar did play in the SBC (not exactly what you call the "highest" level) but where are you now? 4) SHSU isn’t on anyone’s “jock”. This is Sam Houston State, a school named after Texas’s greatest hero. [/quote]So UTSA and Texas st leaving does not dilute the SLC so SHSU does not move up. But if Lamar moves up, then the SLC is diluted. Sounds to me like the SLC is nothing without Lamar. [/quote] No UTSA and TXST leaving does not dilute the conference from a football perspective because UTSA never has ever played a down of football and Lamar effectively replaces TXST to keep the number of football playing schools at it current level.
