[/quote] We have been season ticket holders since 92' and have heard the same ol thing every year...But we enjoy the fans that we have made over the years.  Some have grown tired of it and have not came back.  There are some though that come until they can't come anymore.  We lost two very long time fans in Sept.  They will be missed.

[quote name="JJWooten" post="879580" timestamp="1287419408"] At first I was thinking this was not the best game for him to go to, if he's thinking about transferring, but in hindsight, it's the best position for him. Lamar has competitive facilities and a QB that needs to be replaced (I think that's the general consensus). Also, if you look around the SLC Sam has a true Freshman QB SFA's star QB is leaving, but his backup (Brady Attaway) is also a Freshman TSU-SM's starter is a freshman McNeese is starting a freshman This is his best opportunity to get in early and make an impact. [/quote] As long as someone is eligible I don't care if he is 4 or 40.  Play whoever is the best.

[/quote]  I don't see basketball attendance changing very much until we start winning.  It has been a LONG AND PAINFUL stretch for our anemic basketball program.  I hear we landed some really good recruits but I hear that almost every year.  So, the proof is in the pudding.  Now, one thing I hope happens is that the students will start going to the games.  Basically you had the friends of India, a handfull of sorority and fraterntiy members, and about 100 other students at the games and that's it.  They should be able to draw 2,000 - 3,000 from the students alone. Anyway, I don't think it will take much to fill up the Montagne but we are going to have to win. With football, winning is not all that important right now.  Right now everyone is having a blast tailgating and just having football back.  But, we all know that won't last forever so hopefully we will have early success.  I also hope we keep recruiting a lot of local talent and I hope some of the really good local talent opts to play here.

I give our coaching a D+ thus far.  Why don't we ever use a fullback?  Why don't we ever go with two tight ends?  Why don't we ever run a screen pass?  Why don't we ever blitz on defense?  Why are we constantly ok with absolutely no pressure on the opposing qb?  I think our o-line does a decent job.  But the play calling sucks.  And Bevil turns the ball over way too much.
