UNLV...

Going to miss playing the Cards. Good thing is we'll see you guys for a few years before we make our move up to FBS, since we refuse to play 'second fiddle' to a school in San Marcos...or so I'm told. I know you guys have handled the clipboard in the TSUS, so eventually...you'll follow the two big brothers up the food chain.

I promise you if SHSU is moving to FBS, Lamar WILL NOT be far behind.

Texas Terror, one quick question. Will you be as passionate about FBS as you are FCS when SHSU makes that move?

[Guest coachacola]

I think TexasTerror was trying to get under UNLV's skin with that post.  I think we'll move up as a group.

[UNLV]

What is getting under my skin is how you guys are linking LU to other schools. Yes we are all TSU but LU is independent

from what SHSU does or else we could all save money by sharing the same AD.

And don't fall for Terror's con job. When SHSU started considering FBS, Terror couldn't control himself with joy.

The day SHSU announce a move to FBS, Terror will be standing next to me calling FCS Jv peewee league ball.

Nope. Will not like FBS one-bit unless we are given a seat at the table, for which I do not see happening. I'd love to play for a national championship. While I will support SHSU, I'll have a hard time with it pending what the layout of the land is...

And no, coach...not getting under UNLV's skin. I'm hearing it from the sources that matter. We won't play second fiddle to the San Marcos school and never have. Outside of enrollment, they have a hard time saying they have our number down the line...and we don't want to be as big as them -- enrollment or ego.

Well, both SHSU and Texas State better figure out how to get paying fans to show up to their games or they'll both have a hard time making it at the FBS level.  Lamar hasn't been that good at basketball for years but still sells a lot more season tickets than any other SLC school.  I bet Lamar will outsell both SHSU and Texas State in season tickets for football.  When Lamar canceled football in 1989 they had pledges for over 4,000 season tickets for the next season.  Look for Lamar to be 2nd behind McNeese in season tickets sales in football come 2010.

TexasTerror, you've said that you hope Texas State doesn't mess up the FBS move for SHSU and Lamar.  I hope Texas State and SHSU don't mess it up for Lamar.  That's why I think Lamar will be moving up with them, not after them.

I'd love to play for a national championship.

I thought Sam Houston already plays for the National Championship as you say? The ONLY college football national championship... That is what you say about FCS all the time.

I said "I'd love to play for a national championship" -- we can't even if the layout of the land as is at the FBS level. A playoff occurs, you bet the NCAA will come and control the FBS level. They couldn't do it any other way...

Woodard is at SLC Media Days...Commish Burnett led off with Lamar, introduced Woodard, Burnett talked about their history (four-time champ) during his opening address today. Watching it live on SLC web site...

Wonder why they had him sitting down! Maybe he would of been out of the shot if he was standing up though.
