[quote name="bigred360" post="958938" timestamp="1296594547"] North, if you go in that direction you take Alvin Brooks out of the equation. Not sure if that is a good are bad move. The more I think about it I don't see BCG here as he and Roc are good friends. Obviously, I could be wrong about both. [/quote] alvin brooks?...maybe we can get a coach with a winning history

he hasnt signed anywhere , yet

[i]2011 Lamar Football Ticket Information If you had season tickets and/or season parking for last year’s football season your renewal package will be mailed out in early March.  When you receive this package you will be able to renew the same seats and parking you had last year as well as specify if you would like to add parking and/or seats or upgrade your current parking and seats.  Upgrades will be based on when we receive your renewal pack back at the Lamar Ticket Office.  If you did not have season tickets last year and would like to purchase season tickets we will open season ticket sales to the public in early May.  The exact dates for these events will be released at a later date.[/i] i wonder what happens if you are a season ticket holder and want to move a row?

[/quote] Here's what Scout says about him: [quote]Not very fast but he is efficient in his running of the routes and in getting open. He has great hands and won't drop the ball then he takes off and runs tough. His speed will limit what schools he will get offered by and make being D1 tough, his hands and route running skills are above average.[/quote] [Hidden Content] [/quote] Shades of the old Baltimore Colt, Raymond Berry.  He was a slow receiver that had a pretty decent career because he ran precise routes and caught EVERYTHING! [/quote] runs good routes?..with our OC that means nada..just run upfield as fast as you can

Johnsons authentic jersey's go on sell I'm buying a couple of each. It's great to get juco talent but you can't beat star athletes with four years of eligibility remaining. Two great players to build an offense around. [/quote] I don't know if anyone else is thinking this but if LU signs Ford to go along with Jeremy Johnson, it seems that this would necessitate a change in offensive philosphy from an all pass offense to a much more balances offense that runs the ball more, probably some type of option run/pass scheme.  Just thinking. [/quote] I'm thinking he has to beat out prewitt and smith before we change the whole program to suit him

[quote name="bigred360" post="956082" timestamp="1296173867"] CardAmbassador, I agree it would be easier to get to a bowl game in a FBS conference than get to the FCS national championship game. [/quote] with all the bowl games, every tom,dick and harry goes

read that on the bmt ent website...would have to drop so. bammy and pay em 100k, or drop Tex st....later bobcats...

[quote name="Javelina" post="955572" timestamp="1296107434"] looked it up and Lamar is playing at Texas A&M on 9-8-12 and and at Hawaii 9-15-12.  Could be the start of a good schedule if Lamar joins WAC starting in 2012.  Put McNeese in there for the rivaly game and get 2 ULL, ULM or Rice type teams since you get the extra game for going to Hawaii and it would be good first year FBS schedule. [/quote] i think its  hawaii in 2012, OSU in 2013, atm 2014? beat the hel- outta tamu!!!  haha Go Big Red

[quote name="JJWooten" post="955205" timestamp="1296071398"] So 9 football, 12 basketball That gives: Idaho, La Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Utah State, Texas State, UTSA Non-football Denver So that leaves, 2 more football schools and 2 more non-football schools. Interesting...... [/quote] scramento st plays wac baseball...idaho and utah st dont..dont know about denver...

[quote name="epg2793" post="954889" timestamp="1296029182"] geez, when is puddin going to realize FBS in any conference is an upgrade. Then again, based on his history probably never. [/quote] I'm not against moving up, ya dim bulb---I am , however against playing utah st., idaho, and san whoever I am stating E Mich is one of the worst football programs in 1A

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="954233" timestamp="1295978463"] Eastern Michigan gets more than McNeese and so does North Texas. And Lafayette. Just saying. And North Texas gets more attention and money than Appy state and close to as much respect. So I would say FBS based on that argument. [/quote] so...you'd rather play eastern michigan than mcneese?..@ home or on the road in front of 3000 screaming eagle fans... Mcneese, appy, Ga southern are some of the most respected 1AA programs in the nation....East mich,  NTSU? laughing stocks of 1A...NTSU, has some hope...E mich oughta be DII

The people who complain most about teams going FBS are the fans of other FBS schools in conferences that suck, like the Sun Belt, because more FBS schools just drains away the little talent they are getting now.  It makes it easier for them to win when they have less competition.  The fans of other FCS schools also don't like schools moving up because they get left in media vacuum that is FCS football.  The FCS championship games draws about the same amount of viewers as the worst FBS bowl game. Hopefully Lamar announces their move to the WAC soon because being even being a bottom of the barrel FBS school like UL-Monroe beats staying in the SLC any day of the week. [/quote] i'm sick of fbs/fcs...so i'm reverting back to how it should be I'd rather be good 1-AA than a "ULM" of 1A..they suck [/quote] There's not much difference between between a good 1-AA team and a bad 1A team, except the good 1-AA team gets less money, less tv exposure and worse schedules than the bad 1-A team.  But hey, if that's your dream for Lamar then more power to you. [/quote] I hope we are good wherever we end up... but.... a good 1AA program has respect...a bad 1A team is a laughing stock who get more respect.....Mcneese or Eastern Mich..Appy st or No Tex?
