Message From Ray Woodard


Recommended Posts

This was in an email sent out to LU students last week.....

"We are excited about football returning to your university.!!! The student vote was a big step towards Lamar University bringing back football. Without your vote and support we would not have been able to move forward. I wanted to write you and update you on our progress. We have assembled our coaching staff and have signed our first class of players that will represent you in the fall of 2010. The next step will be the remodeling and construction at Provost Umphrey stadium. I think you will be pleased with our stadium and athletic complex upon the  completion. We are anticipating that the renovations and athletic complex will be completed in time for our first season in the fall of 2010.

This fall presents us with a unique opportunity. We will not play games, but will have 32 scholarship players along with 30-35 walk-on players practicing and preparing for the next football season. It will be a red shirt season, but we want to make it as much fun as possible and include you as much as we can. We will have 3 scrimmages that will be like spring games. We want you to come out and meet your team. More information will be coming shortly and please check our web site for additional information.

I want to thank you for supporting Lamar University Football. I feel it is an honor and privilege to be your head coach. I will continue to keep you updated and look forward to seeing you soon at the scrimmages and games!!!!!

Ray Woodard

New month, new message about the how great the renovations will be but yet still nothing happening at the stadium.  How much longer can they wait and expect to be done by next fall?  The original plans had them finished this fall!!

    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
