La Tech is losing a boat load of starting seniors and a new coach that does not play the high power offensive scoring like Sonny Dykes. This is Lamar chance to steal one from a FBS. Lamar should focus on defeating La Tech [i][b] exclusively.[/b][/i][/quote] "Exclusively?"  Like put your whole season on this one game?  You will tell us how this makes sense to you, won't you? ??? [/quote]The same strategies used to defeat La Tech will surely work on our sub-DI opponents and the slc. The Tech game is the 3rd game so I think we have time to work on other stuff after the Tech game....the remaining 8 games. 

I wonder if Tom Abatemarco would be interested. Tom is an excellent X and O coach and he coached in the WNBA. We shouldn't hold grudges....,

Still, SAY SOMETHING.

"The Lamar Cardinals have been surprisingly quiet on the realignment front recently and seem to be either out of the running or doing everything in secrecy in the opposite manner of Liberty." [Hidden Content] Evans needs to come out with his view. I am tired of wondering if Lamar is trying to move up or will remain a small fry forever. SAY SOMETHING.

His heart wasn't in it since NCAA year.

The wait is frustrating. Anyone think Lamar is holding out for a CUSA spot if Rice leaves. No Rice, no CUSA in or near Houston.

Chuck is Mcneese only real positive. Lamar has everything and more to move BACK up. [/quote] yeah , a new stadium and no team. Kinda like buying a new suit and wearing scuffed up old shoes. [/quote]A bad team can be rebuilt with the right coach.  You can't change poor, small, and Louisiana over night.

Mcneese is poor, small, in Louisiana. Chuck is Mcneese only real positive. Lamar has everything and more to move BACK up.

[quote name="WOS95" post="1390568" timestamp="1364847303"] ive said  many times,  i would love for Lamar to go FBS...but i havent heard anything from the university indicating they are wanting to move out of the southland conference. [/quote]If Mcneese, SHSU, or SFA was in Lamar's position, those schools would have been gone long ago. WKU is off to CUSA. Sunbelt will be making a decision soon. I'm worried.

[quote name="coachacola" post="1390497" timestamp="1364830532"] The MWC has a ton of WAC schools.  The Big East has a ton of CUSA schools.  CUSA has a ton Sun Belt schools.  The Sun Belt has a ton of SLC schools.  Give it time, I bet we'll see both LU and SHSU in the Sun Belt in a few years.  But the more conferences change, the more they stay the same. [/quote]Will you please stop  linking us with Sam Houston. puuuulease. I still have my doubts on SHSU wanting to join FBS. It would mean giving up the SHSU vs SFA at Reliant. The door is nearly shut on Lamar to FBS. If JMU joins the SBC, Lamar will be forever outside FBS. Any new SBC invites will be schools to help out JMU like GMU and Delaware.

Maybe a bad PR move for now by playing better and stronger teams. [/quote]It is better to get beat 50-17 by a major FBS than to beat Langston 14-0 or risk losing to a sub DI from a PR prospective. [/quote]  ;D [/quote]I am right, am I not?  no one expects Lamar to beat Okie st but it would be a PR night mare to lose to a sub DI.

The internet folks believe JMU will get the final spot in the Sunbelt. Followed by Mizz st, then Liberty. Lamar, Jax, and SHSU has no chance at all says the crowd. 1. JMU, I don't understand why the MAC has not scooped them up. JMU is a good fit with MAC schools. I can't see the JMU fitting well in the SBC. JMU vs ULL, JMU vs UL-Monroe, JMU vs Idaho, JMU vs Texas st..,,. I don't see it. 2. Mizz st is about basketball, not football. Would it be worth to trade a top MBB conference for an awful MBB conference and FBS with schools like UL-Monroe and 1-10 Idaho?  3. Liberty brings unwanted controversy and outside the foot print. It would shock everyone if they got the call.  So maybe Lamar has a shot if only 2 remaining options are Lamar and Jax st. Sam is not ready for fbs. I'm not sure they want it and is lacking in fan support even with their football success. Jax st would be school number 3 in Alabama in the SBC. Not likely. Lamar brings another Texas school and the closest option to Houston...1 hour drive.  And it's own media market.

ORU has been in the SLC for 1 season yet they are looking to get out.

I am very frustrated with Lamar's leadership. If Lamar screw this up, I am done. All Lamar former conference mates and equals like La Tech, ULL, UL-MONROE, and Ark st are signing home and home games with Baylor, Boise st, SMU, and TCU. While Lamar bring in Langston and Panhandle st. Even Texas st played Texas Tech at home. I am so sick of the small minds infesting Lamar leadership positions.

Mcneese, with it's smaller budget and size kicks Lamar butt in ever sport.

SD is shooting 60% while cards shoot 30%. Missing easy layups. No excuses for this shiftless performance.

Mcneese wins again. If Lamar wins Sunday, Lamar will play Mcneese in the WBI final 4.

[Hidden Content] Too bad we are in the same bracket...

[Hidden Content] Lamar could win this....

This thread is about MBB and WAC tourney. Amazing a 3-12 team made the WAC tourney. UTA knocks out Utah st. SLC dominates WAC.

3-14 UTSA knocks out 16-2 La Tech 5-13 Texas st knocks out 16-2 Denver SLC whipping the mighty WAC.

[/quote]Obviously you!  ;D [/quote]No, I didn't think Lamar would ever be this bad. The Knight family reputation is tarnished so I am hoping Knight has big plans. Gotta assume Bobby won't allow his son to go out like this. Gotta assume secret meetings are happening including Tubbs, maybe Foster, and other big wigs. If not, someone play "taps".
