[quote name="coachacola" post="1258328" timestamp="1346544982"] I think Lamar's ready for the Mountain West now! [/quote] youre thinking too small minded..we are rdy for the big 12..bwahahahaha!!!!

[quote name="UNLV" post="1255023" timestamp="1346366977"] No No No, you guys got it wrong....AGAIN. The SBC is a regional fit for Lamar, and it would be nice to renew old rivalries. But the SBC over all sports is only slightly better than the SLC. The only benefit in going to the SBC is FBS. OTOH, the MWC also offer FBS but only slightly better than the SBC. However the MWC basketball is ranked 8th among 32 conferences with the 3 worse MWC MBB schools leaving. The SBC is ranked 19th, SLC 28th. MWC is ranked very slightly below the A-10 and PAC 12 for the 6th spot. The exposure for Lamar would be huge. Top 25 teams coming to Beaumont, ESPN highlights regularly, and at least 3-4 ESPN./ESPN2 late games per season. In the SBC, ZERO ESPN/.ESPN2 games. In the SLC, Pat Knight stays for a few successful seasons. In the MWC, Knight stays a long time. Lamar would be crazy insane to choose the SBC over the MWC.

[/quote]Yes. If Lamar stinks but is playing a Baylor or Tech at home, more people will attend than if Lamar was good but playing Langston. [/quote]

i know this is off topic..and if we change conferences im ok with that..as most fans probably will be ..but i think attendance is down some because of the 50-0 beatdowns we had to endure last year...im just not under the impression that SETX cant fill a 16000 seat stadium, regardless of opponent, unless the team is really terrible...i made every home game last year..and the team just wasnt very good...

jimmy salter is a good qb..last year he made a few plays that had us scratching our heads, lol and i know chase rutledge is a good one but i think jimmy should get the start at qb this year...coach thompson is big on senior leadership..and i look for jimmy to be a big leader on the team this year.

i love college games in the day...and as far attendance..if the team is not terrible people will still go.

[quote name="mikelbene" post="1230764" timestamp="1339780522"] This is the year where we find out if BC has been winning based on a few athletes or the system.  I'm hoping that this year will be the one that solidifies BC as a consistent top performer in 21-3A. [/quote] i think most alrdy consider BC a top performer in 21-3A

[quote name="T-Dawd" post="1230673" timestamp="1339725172"] Won't be a further run for WOS. They would have to beat La Marque or Coldspring and that ain't hapnen. ;) ;) [/quote] lol..of course cause we never have beaten either of them.. 8)

[quote name="UNLV" post="1227772" timestamp="1338516996"] When Tubbs met with CUSA 2 years ago, I was thinking no way. Today, CUSA is made up of schools just like Lamar. It would be mad awesome to restart that Lamar/La Tech rivalry again. Lamar, Tech, Tulane, UTSA, Rice, UNT, would put lots of traveling fans into each other stadiums and arenas because of the driving distant. [/quote] im all for being in a conference with those schools..but ill believe it when i see it... 8)

i want to win..i wouldn't care if we played D-3 football...i want to win! and right now we don't win...we need to go 10-2, 11-1, or 12-0 every year regardless of division... personally i enjoy playing SHSU, SFA, and McNeese cause i have friends that attended all of these schools and talking smack with them is something i look forward to....if we ever go FBS i hope we can continue to play these teams...but i wont be disappointed if we stay in FCS...as long as we WIN!!!  However i will be disappointed if we go FBS and go 5-7, 4-8, or 3-9 every year.

i want my alma mater to win football games too! and right now we dont! my only concern, if we do go fbs, is getting big time recruits to come to lamar so we can compete..i know some lamar athletes personally and they've told me that beaumont, texas is hard to sell to young talented athletes...this is their words not mine..they said beaumont is boring.

[quote name="UNLV" post="1218993" timestamp="1336257375"] You make jokes as Lamar sinks. Everyone else moves up the ladder, Lamar always finds a way to move down. [/quote] Lamar is not sinking

its hard to say..cause theres good teams in different classifications...wos is my favorite team in SETX.. 8)

i think toby would be a good fit for jasper...hes paid his dues and i think he deserves a shot at head coaching...jasper always has good, tough athletes..i think toby could lead the jasper football in the right direction

[quote name="phunter308" post="1142917" timestamp="1323458737"] Big Ned has 7 starters returning on both sides of the ball. These are full time starters. Lost 2 running backs, center and left tackle on offense. defense lost one defensive end, outside linebacker, CB and safety. Lost  some good backups too. the replacement they have in mind look good and should fill in quite nicely. Just curious how many of WOS returning starter  should actually be in college or at least graduated( i.e. 19 or 20 year olds). [/quote]

wish my teachers in high school looked that good  8)

coldspring is NOT overrated...they played a pretty tough BC team and had to grind it out on defense for the win. thats what good teams do...find ways to win  8)

[quote name="87Cub" post="1117733" timestamp="1321288505"] Actually, if you remember correctly, our defense knocked the WOS starting QB out of the game.  We were shutting the veer down up until that point.  Well, unfortunately for us the WOS backup came in and seemed to ignite that offense.  Yeah, our left guard had a neck injury that day.  He was fine, just had to wear a neck brace for a couple of weeks.  I played OT and DT.  I normally just played offense, but one of our starting DT's reaggravated an arm injury, and I had the pleasure of going both ways for a while and trying to figure out that zone blocking scheme.  The offensive line for WOS was definitely a strong point for that team.  Actually, that whole team was tremendous.  Our coach had us so hyped up for that game, that I really did not notice how big those guys were until I watched the film the next day.  They looked like a freaking college team.  It was a beautiful day.  Do you remember how we drove the ball down the field on our first offensive field in like five plays only to get stuffed twice on 3rd and 4th down from inside the one yard line?  I still think that we should have went play action on that third down.... [/quote] u are absolutely correct..dwayne evans,if i remember correctly, was the quarterback that got hurt during that game...then james reed came in and started the rest of the season all the way to the state championship game against mckinney....wos had some size in those days..of course we were a decent sized 4A school in those years..over 1000 students.....amazing when i think about it how we went from 5A all the way to 3A. no i dont remember about u guys driving down the field on your first offensive series i just remember it being close. its interensting how we all we remember different things about that day.. 8)

so how bout u? got any inside details of things happening on the field that day? what postiion did u play? yeah i remember it being close for a while...brenham was good that year...it was the second round of the playoffs i believe

[/quote] Well thanks for reminding me how OLD I am getting by telling me that you were in the fourth grade at the time.  LOL!  Yeah, the final score was 23-7.  It was tied at 7-7 midway through the third quarter.  WOS had dropped down from 5A that year and was VERY good.  At that time they ran that old school Houston veer with split backs.  Yep, we did wear solid green that day, and had green helmets with paws on them.  We had a solid team that year, but WOS was just too much to handle. [/quote] sorry about that, lol...yup the old veer...i loved watching that offense back then...we had two really good backs then brian cleveland and scottie littleton...i think someone from brenham got seriously hurt that day and they had to get the paramedics to come on the field..i remember because we were in the stands yelling at the paramedics to hurry up and help the player..i also remember that it was a beutiful sunny day...it was the first time i had ever been to huntsville that day...

i was there...but i was in the fourth grade lol....i remember it well though..brenham was home and wos was visitor....score was 23-9 or something like that...didnt brenham have a paw on their helmets that year or something? i think they were wearing all green that day..

orangefield had a very impressive ground game..disiplined and well coached football team..mustangs have got to cut the down on the turnovers, turnovers, turnovers!!!

[quote name="caneyhead#1fan" post="1078897" timestamp="1318258288"] OF - 52      WOS - 0        Clearly WOS is not close to the caliber of OF [/quote] what???  ???  very inappropriate

[quote name="Kville_Kats" post="1078881" timestamp="1318257351"] WO-S is not going to beat every team they play 50 points...That's just the way it is...JMO..Good Luck on the rest of your season.. [/quote] thats true..good luck to kville the rest of the season.. 8)
