WOS95

I remember Lamar football, I went to the games in the 70's and 80's. I remember why it failed. please tell us unlv, why did it fail?

ur posts always make me laugh unlv, how many times do u have to hear it? Lamar does not have the MONEY!!! have u contributed any money to fix the press box?

i hope Lumberton has the same kind of year they had last year. even if they dont make the playoffs this year i hope they keep building their program and have a successful season. i also like coach credeur, he seems to be doing a very good job in Lumberton.

personally, i dont care where we get the players as long as we win a lot of games. however, i like the idea of the walk on program. over the years im sure there have been quite a few players from this area that could have played college ball from around here. but never got the chance because they didn't have the money to leave home and the local university had no football program. hopefully this walk on program will give some guys that have the talent the oppurtunity to play D-I college ball close to home.

WOS95 -- just about every school does this nowadays, surprised you thought Lamar did it "in house"... Lamar uses CSTV (check out their web site address, GameTracker and all that they use, it's clearly out there that they do this). Lots of schools either use CSTV or JumpTV (formerly XOS). The SLC uses JumpTV as does SHSU and some other schools. JumpTV is a head of the game as far as the web-streaming goes and the SLC uses it for SouthlandTV. CSTV has some good features as well, think JumpTV's sales staff moved quicker than tech side of things (see that awful Gamewatcher!)... i really wasn't surprised Terror. i was just defending Lamar because some posters on here were getting upset with LU for being slow putting the football tab on the athletic website.

Once they update them i sure they will. I bet UNLV is happy. Took them long enough. Besides I won't be happy unless Lamar bowl or semi-bowl the stadium with FBS by 2013. looks like ur going to be bitter for a while. ;D If you look around other forums all over the country you will notice a lot of people think Lamar is eye-ing FBS. I am still feeling some doubt. I believe not bowling/semi-bowling the stadium will be the answer to the FBS/FCS question. I don't think Lamar knows yet if they are going FBS or not but they are laying the groundwork for such a move. There's still a lot of unknowns between now and 2011 so we'll just have to wait and see. I would find it hard to believe that Lamar would not have plans to expand Cardinal Stadium. I bet they have talked to Leo Daly on what it would take to expand the stadium, but there's a lot of other facility upgrades that must come first. Fuel cost I'm sure is killing Tech as well as other nearby FBS schools. Now is the time for the Legendary Tubbs to work his magic by creating a regional FBS conference. Something like; La Tech ULL UNT Tulane Tulsa Rice SMU Ark st USM Texas st UTSA Lamar Travel cost should be minimum. i have to admit that would be a great conference to be in. 8)

i saw hussey play a couple of times on tv last year. the kid was impressive.

i have a friend who works in the IT dept. at Lamar. he said that the university contracts the athletic site out to another party. someone sends the info and the other party updates it. they sent the football info weeks ago right after the coach was hired. i think Lamar has done a good job so far promoting their football team, considering the fact we have no team yet.

so let me get this straight UNLV, Lamar getting pounded 70-0 by the Oklahoma Sooners is going to put people in the stands? but perhaps a good competitive game with SFA that could be for a Div I FCS playoff spot will not?

the lady from wos was Travessa Gant. tamara was a very nice person, i had a class with her last semester and she was always very friendly. i wish her all the best.

it's good to see our local teams get some pre-season recognition. 8)

i just saw some pics of the new home side of cardinal stadium and the new athletic complex in the Cardinal Cadence magazine. very impressive! 8)

they haven't even played a game yet. as a matter of fact they don't even have a team yet. :

Lamar was going to start out playing FCS-level football anyways so what's the big deal? If you're still upset because a "big-name" isn't the coach or the stadium is going to be 30K, then go complain to the big donors for not donating more of their money. Go call up R.C. Slocum or Jimmy Johnson and tell them how disappointed you are in them because they didn't want the coach at Lamar. Football's back at Lamar and it's going to succeed, you should be happy. Lamar will stay FCS. Lamar will stay in the SLC. UTSA is moving up, Texas st moving, SHSU will also move up, maybe SFA and NW st. Everything about Lamars plans, so far, points to FCS. This is 1980's all over again. I was there, I know, were you? that's ur problem UNLV, ur still stuck in the 1980's.

It is still my opinion. Did they not teach you anything in College Station. My credit rating is 735... Lamar spend $5, Lamar gets $5 football. My donation is years of support when my critics have not... sorry unlv, but that is not going to pay for a new coach and a larger stadium.

i dont know about the BISD bond issue, but in the WOCC-ISD bond issue improvements for the athletic facilities come last. maybe the BISD has to make repairs to the schools first, i don't know. maybe someone knows more about the new BISD stadium?

im curious UNLV, what choice would've made sense to you?

i agree with your post.

i was just wondering about a practice facility, i havent heard anything either. sorry if my post started some questions. i was just wondering about related costs to starting a football team.

there's been a lot of posting about how much upgrades to the stadium will cost and how much a new coach will cost, but what about other expenses related to the football program. new football uniforms outdoor/indoor practice facility assistant coach salaries new band uniforms new band instruments. expanding the current lu staff to maintain the stadium new cheerleader uniforms

the only hype im hearing about lamar's football program is from some of the poster's on this board. i think the university is handling everything in an appropriate manner. ive said it before, i trust that billy tubbs and dr. simmons know what they are doing in getting this football team back on the field. if they feel that woodard is a good hire, then i think we should give him a chance

Here's a picture of FAU's proposed new 30K $62 million stadium: I'm ready to see the artist renditions for Cardinal Stadium. There's no reason why Lamar can't have both a big, fancy fieldhouse and a nice, on-campus stadium for around $22 million. I don't think Lamar will be bowling the stadium now, but they must expand it to 25 or 30K soon. Coach if FAU had picked you to design the stadium, it would look like High Island high school stadium. $62 million for this, Lamar is 1/3rd there. Now we need 10 donors to give $4 million or 20 to give $2 million or 40 to give $1 million then Lamar could have FAU stadium. Lamar would get endless fan support with this stadium. unlv, if you are referring to the 100 million dollar campaign for LU, that 100 million is not for a football stadium only. and second u cant get me to believe that just because we have a nice stadium people will support the team. maybe at first, but once the new wears off, then what? i still believe the key to long term success is WIN!!! WIN!!! WIN!!!

what Jimmy r u talking about? jimmy johnson, who coach the Miami Hurricanes, and the 1993-1994 World Champion Dallas Cowboys? u r kidding, right?

that's only 6, u said the same one 4 times. ;D
