You the man!

Now, I need a few good men to help me have this site really take off. I see some baby steps here the past few weeks but in a year from now it should be awesome. But, I will admit, YOU ARE THE MAN!

My goal is to keep the forum fun, provide information, and stay the heck out of the debates! ;D Can't wait till basketball season! The traffic on this forum will really pick up as my wife is a Cardinal Club board of director member. I have some contacts in the athletic department and a few family members who are currently attending LU.

We'll have the best Lamar forum on the web!

No Kim?

I tell you what, she'd make a darn good one. You'd donate money to Lamar Athletics or she'd be calling you daily. My sister is a very passionate woman and if Lamar would bring football back I know for a fact she would be a lot more involved.

As you know Kerry, my brother was a pretty good football player and I was wearing a helmet and shoulder pads before I could walk. My family LOVES FOOTBALL.

Then Daniel and I are extremely close. He is an associate pastor at a church in Orange and even stated he would be more involved with his and his wife's alma mater if football was brought back. Word of mouth is always the best advertisement and my brother has over 2,000 people who listen to him for spiritual advice. I'm sure if he stated he had a great time watching a Lamar University football game there would be several people who would take notice.

You might ask why he doesn't support the basketball team. Well there are two reasons. 1. He hates basketball. 2. He transferred from McNeese after a red-shirting his freshman season and would have played at Lamar even if it meant paying his own way.

There are still a lot of people who had a bad experience when Lamar dropped football. I honestly believe it is the worse decision Lamar has ever made.

I remember Daniel well.

Thanks Bobcatfan4life, I look forward to what the future provides here and for Lamar University Athletics. We (LU) got a great coach from over your way when Coach Sondra Ancelot agreed to join Coach Tidwell's staff.

I look for great things from the Ladies Basketball team in the very near future.
