You can count LamarJunior and myself on the roll call for those voting for a return of football. The 29th is the first day but remember they are voting the 30th too. I'm pretty sure the SGA is holding the vote in the Setzer Center.

If they lose, I'm locking the door and abtr will not be allowed over. I think he'll go nuts if they lose to a NAIA school. Anything under 5 pounds will possibly be thrown. I might need to make this game so my aunt and cousins get home safely. Abtr, will not be a happy camper if they lose again. He takes these games too serious. Lighten up rim. The world isn't coming to an end if Lamar loses tomorrow. ;D

Noon, during the week. Dang, I know guys that don't schedule a class before 12:00.

Abtr can find just about anything on the internet but he just can't do much else. He'd go nuts if we un-plugged his computer. He wouldn't know what to do.

It's still early in the season. UTA and SHSU look to be legit though.

No doubt bro, I can't wait until Feb. and the start of baseball season.

The administration can just relax the students will pass the referendum! Out of every 5 people around campus I talk with 4 support the return of football.

Great news for the Lamar former All-American. I don't keep up with golf much but I talked to someone who told me he made over $600,000 last year so I thought he was for sure going to be on the PGA tour next year too. Thanks for clearing this up and congratulations to Mr. Stroud.

I best not be late for dinner if abtr is coming over or there won't be any food left! I've gotta make one of these games soon so he'll would quit riding me. I think the ladies will have a better season than the men from what I've heard and read. JMO.

The staff signed 1 HS dude and 2 jc transfers. I suppose they will announce the signings soon. I heard the Ladies signed one player and I was told she is very good. 6-1 PG.

Man, that video makes me excited about my future here at Lamar. I can't believe they killed the program. It doesn't look like a bad crowd and everyone was really into the game. Plus, didn't McNeese just win the conference this year with a 11-0 record or something close. I heard they have been good for years. I bet there were a lot of upset people when they voted to kill the program after the Cardinals played like that.

No problem KFDM, sorry I don't have more time to help abtr built this site. You know family is family and I don't like some of the things I see on different sites. A lot of copying others stuff and the people yelling are the very one's doing it in the first place. I'll help out anyway I can when I'm not working. Come see me at Best Buy if you need new electronics!

After tonight's game the Lamar will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on the Chicago State Cougars at 2 p.m. in Chicago, Ill.

Yes, I'm from Aledo and my dad wanted me to go to UT. However, I chose Lamar for several reasons. 1. My brother is 3 credits short of being a junior at Lamar and we wanted to get a place together. 2. I'm able to pay tuition, fees, books, food, buy a new 40 inch plasma TV, new computer and new furniture for our apartment for less than I would have paid going to UT. We have the best bacholar pad in Beaumont. 8)
