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.

As an LU supporter, I am extremely disappointed Lamar wasn't mentioned! We were looking forward to going FBS but what happened? We have one of the best facilities in the Southland Conference and FCS! To me, that is a devastating to recruiting and to the local economy! What needs to be done to resolve this?

Tougher opponents need to be on the schedule! This is one of the reasons why Lamar never got invited to the Sun Belt! Drop the Division II/III/NAIA schools like mentioned in past posts! I am so sick of seeing them on the schedule! It's getting them nowhere! This is probably why Lamar football had been losing money back in the late 80's resulting in its elimination (possibly the other reason is the oil bust/recession of the late 80's)!

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.

But aren't they getting blown out by their own stronger mid major teams? Maybe a bad PR move for now by playing better and stronger teams.

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.

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.

[/quote] That was my point earlier. All the top teams moving out and the lesser teams thought they were moving into a "better" conference

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.

Mcneese is poor, small, in Louisiana. 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.

      It’s kinda weird…

      By bullets13 · Posted

      I STRONGLY disagree with this assertion, and you're just making my point for me by trying to say that Biden's corruption is somehow way worse than Trump's with a straight face.  Trump's politics (or at least the politics that suit him) just align with mine significantly more than Biden's.  They're two peas in a pod, but on different sides of the aisle.  I'm sure if I was a diehard conservative all of his issues would seem like minor indiscretions or witch hunts, and if I was a rabid liberal old Sleepy Joe would seem like a strong president who didn't really do much wrong.  But yeah, bless my heart for being able to see around the blinders.

      No one that I know is stumping for Trump because he's the poster boy of integrity, they simply know he's the best choice BY FAR between the two and has been the victim of ridiculous witch hunts since before he was President, that's what folks have a problem with, the crooked lying democrats, but folks like to make it more about Trump than the real problem. And to state that Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come is ridiculous, I don't like him either but he isn't close to being as corrupt as the crime family in the White House, and you know it. As far as hating on CB, not at all, but he has been ate up with TDS for a while now and it sounds like it may be wearing off on you a little bit, lol.   Bless your hearts!

      Newton will also have a lot of size, strength, and experience up front. That will probably be the most significant advantage vs Woodville

      There's a lot of irony in this post.  You're right, if he was a lefty the liberals wouldn't say a word. But because he's a republican, the righteous right is giving Trump a hard pass on stuff that they've absolutely bombed the left for doing for as long as I've been alive, and are actually feigning indignation about the left criticizing his behavior.  Y'all can hate CB all you want, but he's correct on this one.  the conservative outrage over the left's character assassinations of Trump is hilarious.  Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come, and it's a real mind bender watching conservative Christians stump so hard for him, especially when Christian values and morality has supposedly been the backbone of the republican party all this time.  And as always, I'll put in my disclaimer that I thought he did a decent job as president and will be voting for him in the election, so nobody throws TDS at me.

      Nederland is open, Barrow Resigns

      By bullets13 · Posted

      I don't know.  I seem to have read a lot of posts on these nederland threads about how the players aren't dedicated enough to football.  Seems this is exactly what some folks want.  I'm hoping it was the kid's decision to go out there and not the new coach pushing for it.
