UNLV

I'm glad this is over... I'm ready for conference...

Wow, excellent sign... now if we can get a few more WB players...

Hall is....not very good. Maybe not DI material..

seven 3's in the first half....

This non-3 pt shooting team is hitting 3's like crazy...

9-9 tie...

a quote for Terror... "MEMPHIS VS. THE SOUTHLAND The Tigers have an all-time record of 15-1 (.938 winning percentage) versus schools in the Southland Conference. Memphis has played eight -- Lamar, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southeastern Louisiana, Texas-Arlington and Texas-San Antonio -- of the Southland's 12 institutions. Stephen F. Austin, Texas State, Central Arkansas and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi are the four Southland programs the Tigers have not played. The lone Memphis setback to a Southland school was the loss to Lamar in 1968-69. The last time the Tigers played a Southland Conference school was the 2007-08 season when Memphis defeated Texas-Arlington 87-63 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Mar. 21, 2008.

McNeese needed a home game. Lamar wanted to restart their football program with a rivalry game (which doesn't happen to be too far away and will have probably the best atmosphere for a Lamar game on the season in terms of home/visiting crowds) and a good measuring stick of where they need to be. It's a good move, if you ask me. Agreed, and being a first game LU might sneak up on Mcneese....

And UNLV beat Louisville in Louisville... ;D

Before you drool over joining the WAC, you better pay attention to travel costs for your "non-revenue" producing sports teams that have to be flown all over the West. Basketball, Womens Soccer, Baseball, etc. That costs losts of moola. UNT has turned down the WAC because of travel costs. If UNT decides to jump off a cliff, that doesn't mean LU should follow. Being in the WAC puts Lamar near the front of the line for any new conference.

WAC schools would save tons of money by having a Tech travel partner. Coach, LU in the WAC makes perfect sense. Lamar can gain a legitimacy lost by rejoining the SLC. Any new conference will look at the SLC last for members and I am sure all spots will be filled long before the SLC gets the look.

It'll be a close game...

If that is the case, Lamar can do the samething by joining the WAC and becoming Tech travel partner.

That's wrong. It would be a long shot and it depends on a Sunbelt teams strength of schedule, and how badly they beat all of their opponents, but they could go to a higher ranked bowl or possibly a BCS bowl. True, the stars would have to align perfectly, but it can happen. It happened to Boise State. As to Louisiana Tech joining this proposed "new conference", NO WAY! They are in the WAC and the WAC is a solid conference, although somewhat top heavy. I wonder how long can Tech afford to be in the WAC. Tech is smaller than Lamar and in a small town and sharing a media market with ULM and Grambling...

heck no. The expected win total should be 4 - minimum. I know, I was just making Terror bump his head on the ceiling...

I see Lamar going 9-2.....

If SHSU isn't ready for FBS, Lamar isn't, either. This is kind of a moot point but an interesting topic. There is no link bretween the schools. Lamar is ready when it is ready. Sam is ready when it is ready.

I'd say the bottom one too....

The reason I shared that was more along the lines of how humorous it was that the schools that many thought would be quicker to add football were not necessarily the ones to add football. It was not meant as an attack on Lamar. If anything, I was just trying to get UNLV worked up...the confused individual that he is. The people on my "home board" have a blocked view of reality which has led many of the more informed and "in the know" posters to retreat to private messages. They ignore positives (gawd forbid anyone on that board ever acknowledge our athletic department as the tops in the SLC when it comes to all things academic or conference championships by teams that are not football, basketball or baseball) and simply beat the same ole dead horse...the most humorous of which is Pat, who is running people under the bus, the same individuals who provided him filming opportunities like no other photog has had in the SLC and provided him great video to pitch to potential individuals who he seeks jobs from. Guess you forget about the people who got you where you are today. That's successful networking. It didn't work. I was more curious at why you didn't post an update on that thread...

Baylor....ouch..

Although not the best looking helmet, the black with the red Cardinal would make it easier for a QB to find reciever down field.

UTEP don't want any part of LU...

41-27 Half.....LU ofcourse.

Maybe LU soften them up for UTEP by breaking their spirit and confidence...
