UNLV

Once Lamar goes FBS, I was thinking if it was better to play Nebraska in the Rose Bowl or Ohio st in the Orange Bowl. Worse case is Lamar meet Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl. Wooten what do you think?

If LU stop footdragging to FBS they would get those players. Mcneese vs FBS, C'mon.

The best thing about that place is that prisoners are locked up there. [/quote] One of the worst schools? You realize you just caught up with us as far as Carnegie ratings go.  UNLV tried bragging about Lamar being one of 27 schools or so... only to find out SHSU was already waiting around for Lamar to catch up! ;) [/quote]Yeah LU fell behind because of poor and greedy leadership, however LU has caught up and is surpassing SHSU. LU has already caught up in football, FCS, and will soon go FBS. LU is almost caught up and will surpass SHSU in student population. LU is on track to be an 80 million dollars research University.

katfans are like Jerry Springer females. In the bed of everyone else but their own.

LU will be a member of the WAC. They will get the invite and will accept. Was told we could get an announcement of this very soon. [/quote] AAW, are you hearing any info on funding this move?  Time table to expand the PU stadium?  If you can share some info without compromising your sources please do so?  Have to give LAZEEK some credit.  He was out front on this one.  Hope that the LU community will really rally around this move and propel the athletic program and the University to new heights!

The ladies are making everyone proud to be LU fans. The men.... ::)

On a lighter note, LU is ranked 2nd in the country in scoring and 1st in rebounds but a sad 204 in shooting.

The WAC is not the ideal perfect conference to move back to the highest level of football, yet we don't insult them. Does USU know Lamar played at the highest level in football before and is the victim of horrible leadership instead of a a newbie label. The WAC needs 8 FBS teams to remain FBS. So the WAC needs Lamar as much as Lamar needs the WAC.

[quote name="ratofallaggies" post="957452" timestamp="1296351532"] I don't know much about you guys.  How are your basketball/football teams?  Any facility upgrades?  What kind of alumni support do you have? [/quote]Your board doesn't seem very happy with Lamar joining. Would they be happier if the WAC lose it's FBS because not enough football schools. I remember USU and Lamar playing a few great games in basketball in the 80's.

[quote name="coachacola" post="954373" timestamp="1295989516"] The Mountain West isn't expanding so Utah State and San Jose State are staying in the WAC for now.  This adds stability to the WAC so it's time for Lamar to join. [/quote]I think this leaves the WAC in limbo, not stable. But I still don't see why LU should not accept if invited. I think the MWC chose this route with the possibility of the breakup of the big 12.

[quote name="Green Menace" post="953948" timestamp="1295907589"] Lamar better start looking again for an FBS conference to join.  Word on the MWC board is that Utah State and San Jose State are the newest MWC members.  This move would pretty much eliminate the WAC.  San Jose had 8K fans for their last home game.  Go figure. [/quote]This is good news for the WAC, Lamar, and North Texas. Denver might leave the WAC and Texas am might go SEC soon.

How do you enforce the rule?

[quote name="bigred360" post="952352" timestamp="1295640152"] See there are more people than just me upset with your comments. The NFL and other Pro sports teams comparison is a little lame.   I'm done with this debate as I have more important things to do. Have a nice day! BTW, I listened to the Coach Tidwell show last night and he said there are more conferences than just the WAC looking at Lamar. He said he expected a big shakeup in the WAC, Sun Belt and C-USA in the next 6-8 weeks. He mentioned no conference has talked to him directly but he knows of a couple that are looking at Lamar. [/quote]Wow, I can't imagine a FBS conference outside the WAC and Sun looking at Lamar.

When will LU start spending that money?  and on what?

[quote name="bigred360" post="949793" timestamp="1295291996"] Let's see if I can answer these. Nope. Nope. Probably. Don't hide. Don't expect to win just play hard. I think I got it. [/quote]At SFA, I never saw such a cowardly low class performance ever. Lamar quit, Woodard quit, no heart. Lamar should at least make Texas nervous.
