[/quote]Yep, Rita delayed starting football so we missed out on Barry because of Rita.

It's the top article in the print paper on the sports page.  Shows a photo of Coach Woodard and also a photo of John Evans, who's now a musician living in Austin.  I knew Tubbs had been talking to Switzer but I didn't realize they had talked in 2000.  If Tubbs and Simmons had arrived at Lamar a few years earlier before the move back to the SLC, Switzer probably would have brought the program back as a FBS team in the Sun Belt.

Can you imagine the buzz and excitement Barry would have brought to the program......

Fantastic look into the football interest outside the area from former players and current players and coaches.

Give 'em hell Coach Woodard and show them the reason so many good players come out of this area.

We love football.  The players will bring it home if given the support.

Go Big Red.
