Has anyone seen this.  It would make sense with the ray ray contract extension.

I have a hard time believing that. The news source needs to follow up on that claim. ;)

[/quote]Didn't Woodard get a FBS raise a few months ago. Believe it.
They are trashing Lamar on csnbbs, you guys need to go defend Lamar. Or would you rather I do it?

FBS next season? Yeah, right?
[/quote]Lamar could go FBS next year. It would be a transition year. Lamar would not be a full member of the SBC for 2 years. I would rather MWC, but the SBC is better than the SLC.

They are freaking out on Katfans site. LOL.

I would rather the MWC as well.  They seem to have less of a problem with us and would accept us better.  Also the SBC has a really big head after this last season.  They seem to think they are the BIG XII or something.  Kinda annoying.  And you are right about them bashing LU, they seem to think we are some sort of AAA school.  They say completely untrue things about us.  Kinda annoying.

I cant think of one poster that cares if Lamar stays or not especially football wise.  I know there are some parents that would want them to stay so they can see their kids pad their stats everytime we play but thats about it.

You might be following us.  You will be able to continue to pad your stats. lol

From Jack:

What's up, Cards? Here's what I know. 

The Sun Belt league office is going to publicly deny contact with LU (or SHSU, for that matter).  Your people don't say shit even if their mouths are full.  One day I am going to get around to showing everyone why people do things this way - there's certainly a excellent reason for this - but that's for a boring time in the offseason.

I think that there might be an answer developing - did Burnett and the SLC have to go to 10 (future 12)/14, and add west Texas and Oklahoma to his compact league?  Adding 5 when you lost 3 might be a way of showing that 2 more are leaving.  Or not.  But it deserves some notice that we all know that someone at LU and Benson have each others cell numbers.  This is just my speculation. 

I have my own source in Knoxville, by a stroke of luck.  He's into the area prep scene and has written a story about Stuart, and knows the author of the other one well.  I have contacted him to see what he can find up there.  Here's his article: http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1390773

Finally, I'm not really into recruiting.  I think it's creepy to text teenage boys about where they want to go to college.  However, I spent enough time with Brent and Fletcher to learn that kids will say anything.  A conversation about hoping to be in the Sun Belt in four-five years so his parents can see him play in Murfreesboro would have relevance, and the young man wants to study chemical engineering.  Aren't y'all top three in that?

Edited to Add: This isn't a mistake a writer at the level of Smithey would make and Stuart is a kid that should be playing at a BCS school.

Lamar gave Woodard a FBS raise. The article was too specific. Both Lamar and the SBC needs to deny it until after  March. Lamar could get banned from the SLC tourney if announced too soon.

SBC is the hill-billy conference so expect hill-billy fans. Just remind those igno's the SBC school presidents are smart enough to know if Lamar is SBC material. Then remind them obvious they do like Lamar.

The people on the Sun Belt board are just pumping their chests.  SBC is having a decent year in football and they want to show "lowly" Lamar (not my words, but their thinking) they are big time FBS and Lamar is not worthy.  Fact is, the big time is now the five major conferences, and it doesn't include the Big East.

One of the posters said that LU left on bad terms from the SBC, I wonder if there is truth to that.
[/quote]They also said SHSU brings in part of the Houston market. Must be the invisible part.
I say let them have Sam. In the mean time, ESPN is reporting BYU is unlikely to BE and AFA is likely.
There is still hope for Lamar and Texas st to the MWC.

The "Houston Market" argument has a little to do with the fact that we have a satellite campus in The Woodlands and have a agreement with Lone Star College which is throughout Houston to accept there coursework.  Due to SH recent success we also have(although very brief) programming spots on two Houston Sports radio programs.  I personally dont think either school is ready for FBS.  Lamar from a competitive standpoint and SH from a facilities standpoint, so I can see why there is some resistance to eithe program.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
