Titletown2

I would hate to be the one to tell the kids on my team that we had a chance to play at Reliant and turned them down.

When Jimmy Simmons became president Lamar had about 8,000 students, no football team, no women's soccer team, and no women's softball team. They also brought back the Marching Band and updated the Athletic facilities, to where they are among the best in the conference. Not to mention, a totally redone McDonald's Gym. They also had horrendous dorms. They now have Cardinal Village and the campus, it self looks 1000% better than it did when Dr. Simmons took over. This has led to Lamar have over 14,000 students. That's almost a 60% increase in enrollment. I would say that Lamar has changed, improved, and grown over the last 15 years, let alone 40. Again, I say you're full of it!

Thanks guys. Would like to see pictures of the progress if any of the St. Augustine posters can get any.

In 3A last year it wouldn't have made a difference. Nobody in D1 was beating Stephenville and nobody in D2 was beating Navasota. They were the two best teams in 3A by far last year. Silsbee will make a nice run in the playoffs but, I don't think they bring home the trophy. I think Newton has the best chance to bring home a championship. They made the semis last year and return a ton of starters. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't another team out there that might surprise people next year. There always seems to be a team that comes out of nowhere  and makes a deep run in the playoffs.

Thanks for the updates! Keep 'em commin'. Can't wait to play in the new digs.

Valentine HS: enrollment  9! Saaluuute!! ;)

Good, we need more options other than ESPN radio.

They must've used their pitching in Saturday's game. Losing after you put up a 9 spot is inexcuseable!

How's progress going on the Wolve's new stadium? Hopefully it will dome by the time we are supposed to play there (3rd game). Anybody have any pics of the progress? If anybody does please post them.

Is the AD position seperate from the football HC position? According to the Enterprise article they said the list for the AD job. I've heard they want a seperate AD from the football HC. Does anybody have info on this?

Turf is not included on the bond. That was voted down to be put on the bond in committee.

[quote name="skipmeister" post="1379527" timestamp="1361886582"] If Lamar wants to go FBS, then they need to toughen their schedule and that means [b]drop the NAIA and NCAA Division II schools and add tougher schools![/b] Liberty University, which is one of the largest evangelical Christian universities on Earth is on verge of going FBS (could be Lamar's neighbor in Sun Belt) and they have FBS opponents on their schedule almost every year and they are very tough! Why don't Lamar have a tough schedule like them? Fans are not going to spend their hard earned money on tickets so they could watch like Langston, McMurry, or other Division II schools! Fans want game with tougher opponents like UTSA, Youngstown State, Delaware, and the like! Like said, Lamar needs to strengthen their schedule if they want to go FBS! [/quote] I wholeheartedly agree! Stop playing Oklahoma Panhandle St. and Bacone College! If you still have to play those type schools to get wins, that ought to tell you were your program is. You don't need to stack it with it FBS schools but get rid of the D2 and D3 schools and play some good teams at the FCS level. A better home non-conference schedule and some WINS will add to better attendance. That and going back at a 6:00 start time for home games.

Game should've went to overtime in the first place. LU up by 5 with :23 left in regulation, fouls a three point shot that goes in and CAU gets a four point play. LU still could'nt hold on.

It is like they decided we like this guy and we like this guy so let's hire them both- one for Central and one for Ozen. Also this does not seem like a Saveat move. I would be shocked if [b]Pat Lambert[/b] was not the one behind this. She is supt of secondary schools now and has been known to clash with football coaches. [/quote] I'm sitting here wondering how Hattie Mae Pierce's big arse got the position she has. The woman is a moron and clearly out of touch... ***MOD EDIT*** [/quote] She was the main reason Stowers left. She fought with him on just about everything. He finally got tired of fighting. However, I don't think she is behind this. Saveatt is the one that ultemately makes the athletic decisions. I would say that if the UIL was down here yesterday that they probably strongly recomended this action. imo
