[quote name="UNLV" post="1009798" timestamp="1305297855"] I have several reason for wanting to move up. One of them is old rivalries. I was going to Lamar football games in the late 70's to the end in 1989. And as much as Terror tries to push the Lamar/Sam Houston old buddies crap, SHSU, SFA, Nicholls st were not the schools I saw. So I don't get excited to see SHSU. The only SLC that excite me is Mcneese, an old rival. Idaho or SJSU don't excite me either, but they do at the very least get Lamar name exposed out west, especially if we win. FBS also brings exposure, exposure brings money and growth. Is it worth it? I think so. [/quote] The question I think, is whether getting crushed by Idaho because you moved up before you were ready is the kind of exposure that brings you any money or growth?

That's correct. I called the ticket office and they told me they were basically sold out from last year. That really sucks. So basically if you didn't get one the first year, you might never get the opportunity to buy one until they open up more lots for sale. That's quite a buzzkill for an alumni who didn't get the chance to tailgate last year. I was really looking forward to it. I think with all the money they'd make from selling more lots as tailgating sections, it'd be worth the added cost of providing security. So add this into the already horrible problem of the parking shortage on campus. 

Anyone know about the parking spots for tailgating? Are they on sale yet, and if not when? I don't want to miss out this year as last year I was SOL and not only had to park in the senior section, but couldn't tailgate out there.

Speaking of Texas State ... It seems like it would be SO easy to recruit kids to San Marcos. Take them to the river on a Saturday in the summer and let them see the "benefits" :D BAM they sign the next day lol. I know I would have!

Not a bad thing for the football program either. It's better for a recruit to say "Oh that school where Bob Knight's son went" than to say "where the heck is that????" I'm far from a die hard basketball fan so excuse me for being selfish I guess lol. Good luck coach!

Maaaan that's a pretty bad snub. AtM  you can stomach, but SFA is a pretty intense burn lol. Oh well. So much for all those "hints".

[quote name="puddin tane" post="943398" timestamp="1294338806"] the same national attention idaho, new mex st and denver get?  quick...name their mascots.. [/quote] Easy. Potatoes, New Mexicans, and the Fighting Johns. pfft  ;)

[url=[Hidden Content] known Lamar player scores 52[/url] Beware, some of the comments are brutal, even by this board's standards.  ;D Pretty cool to get some national recognition though.

[quote name="bigred360" post="936998" timestamp="1292951981"] I really can't believe some of the post made on this forum and to read this stuff from people in SE Texas makes me sick! [/quote] I can. At the first home game, I listened to the drunk gentleman behind me scream about firing the coach after every stalled drive. THE FIRST GAME! There are pockets of this area where tact and reason are foreign concepts.

I'm guessing this young man will be looking for other options with the signing of JJ. Unless he learns to like playing TE all of a sudden.

Just got my tickets! W00t! Can't wait man. I have no idea where I'll park either. My super sneaky plan is to come in from the Cardinal Drive side and keep moving till I see a lot with space ...

They should really have let the marketing department have a crack at that name though. "Be at the bridge" ?
