More money for the football program

[Guest coachacola]

From the board of regents meetings:

The Beaumont Bone & Joint Institute pledged $250,000 to the football program so the new athletic complex will be named the Beaumont Bone & Joint Institute Training Room.

Mr. and Mrs. Bart Simmons of Dallas pledged $200,000 so the football practice field will be named The

Vernon Glass Field of Champions.

With the success of the LU fund raising that has been reported over the last few weeks I have a suggestion to our President Elect...

Come to Beaumont and ask some of these guys at Lamar to lead your economic team.

1. They got people to vote to raise their own fees to support football.

2. They have raised half of the 100 million that they wanted to get towards a new fund in only a couple

      of months, They still have three years to raise the remainder.

3. They have gotten sponsors for just about everything to cover all the renovations and repairs at the

      stadium, field house, training room and other facilities.

If Obama could get these guys then they could convince people that...

...a tax increase will be a good thing

...that the country can go out and ask for donations to cover new programs and the debt

...we can start selling the naming rights to national landmarks

This is just a little fun. I commend Lamar for their obvious hard work and dedication to bringing high quality education to Southeast Texas and I know they will enjoy the benefits of having a football team to root for and get excited about. Home games, a homecoming celebration around football, the chance to compete for another conference championship.

But you know the idea about naming rights to the national landmarks could work...The American Express, Washington Monument, it could work?

Well it might!

That probably will not cut it. Left rear tends to be one of the more popular urinals...perhaps they should start a bidding war on it.  ;D

There is no way the new athletic complex is going to be renamed for a group pledging $250,000. Maybe the training room will bare the name of this medical group.

I think the training room will be named Beaumont Bone & Joint Training Room.
