  1. SWT changed to Texas State, i suppose to give it broader appeal, and grander status. I believe in a decade or so, this decision will begin to pay dividends. USL name was mandated by the Louisiana legislature, it is not something they chose to do. Some people in Louisiana will tell you it was politically motivated. Yeah, everyone in this area knows where Lamar is. The point is to give the university a broader appeal and recognition, which apparently people involved with the university, believe will benefit the university. I am not sure the TSU board would approve the move, since you have two other institutions named after state leaders in SFA and SH, but if allowed, it would help.
  2. Why couldn't they claim past accomplishments? I am pretty sure Texas State still claims their past, when it was SWTSU. I believe the name would give it more of a regional appeal. If it helps the university, I would be all for it.

  4. Kicker, They'll have a new gym this year, and you left out Courmier.
  5. I think I read somewhere the UIL was the inspiration for " The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"! :wink:

  14. 6-4 or 7-3 Win the games you should and an upset or two. Gotta think positive.
  15. I know Josh Gray almost left before his breakout season, because Gilligan tried to cut his scholarship back. Cloeren is another kid that has hurt Lamar. The point is that Texas is one of the top 3 or 4 hotbeds of talent in the whole country. The question is why spend so much money and time recruiting out of state? Is there really that many baseball players coming out of New York?
  16. So Titus did a study to see if a pre-selected site that the will market would be a good idea, and the UIL bought it. Seems like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
  17. Wonder why more of these local kids don't go to Lamar?
  18. David Williams was not in the same category with Hooks. His re-assignment took place about 5 years too late.
  19. Hebert High of the late 70's were tough. especially Lester Harper and Tracy Clay.
