Lamar 2010 Football Schedule Discussion


Recommended Posts

So I was looking at one of those "open date" web sites and based on what has been made available (at McN, at SLU, at Ga State and TBAs vs SHSU, SFA, South Alabama, Northern Colorado, North Dakota and vs Langston) -- I came up with this possible schedule. While Woodard loves to talk about the possibility of an FBS game, no one will schedule you guys until 2011 because you will not count as a bowl counter towards bowl eligibility until then. Thoughts?

Saw on there that you guys were not looking for Oct. 16 (one of the few dates, you were not) -- so can only assume that you want a bye that week or you have a foe booked. No clue.

If you do end up with such a schedule, I would say that it was the toughest of any new program. Ended with Georgia State because I figure that would be a nice end of year "reward" for the opening season, a game in the Georgia Dome. Throw in the fact it is tough for USA and Georgia St to get games at the end of the year and it only made sense to put them in November.

Sept 4 - at McNeese (Confirmed)

Sept 11 - vs Stephen F. Austin (Unconfirmed Date)

Sept 18 - vs Sam Houston State (Unconfirmed Date)

Sept 25 - at Southeastern Louisiana (Unconfirmed Date)

Oct 2 - vs Northern Colorado (Unconfirmed Date)

Oct 9 - vs Missouri - Rolla (Unconfirmed Date/Opponent)

Oct 23 - at UC-Davis (Unconfirmed Date/Opponent)

Oct 30 - vs Langston (Unconfirmed Date)

Nov 6 - at South Alabama (Unconfirmed Date)

Nov 13 - vs North Dakota (Unconfirmed Date)

Nov 20 - at Georgia State (Unconfirmed Date)

Why can't LU open with a home game ? It would be a great way re-start the program.

McNeese needed a home game.

Lamar wanted to restart their football program with a rivalry game (which doesn't happen to be too far away and will have probably the best atmosphere for a Lamar game on the season in terms of home/visiting crowds) and a good measuring stick of where they need to be. It's a good move, if you ask me.

Agreed, and being a first game LU might sneak up on Mcneese....

Probably after they renovate the stadium is my guess, only because they might move some stuff around and what not, but everyone needs to get some when they do!

Well, it would be nice if they actually would start renovating the stadium, or at least show some renderings of how it'll look.  Texas State has a artist drawing of the new suites and front to their stadium, it looks nice.  Lamar needs to do the same.

Wasn't the SLC once known as the Lone Star Conference?

No, the SLC was founded in 1963 as a NAIA conference but has been a Division I conference since 1975. The LSC was founded in 1931, but there's a lot of former LCS schools in the SLC now.  At least that's what Wikipedia says.

Okay, maybe thats why I thought some of the SLC schools were in the LSC. Seems like SFA and maybe Sam Houston were in LSC.

We understanding how LU punks SHSU. The last meeting LU beat SHSU 48-0...

One of two things happened here...

1) Hurricane Ike forced the second game of our home-and-home with Prairie View A&M back to 2010, which it did -- not sure if the Lamar deal had been signed at that point.

2) Head coach Ray Woodard spoke before a contract was signed, which he has showed before that he's willing to do (i.e Bevil signing announcement before he signed).

And...well, we all know we "punk" you academically...there's a reason LU has never been considered in the flagship argument. Never a word. SHSU reigns supreme in the TSUS when it comes to producing doctoral degrees and research.

SHSU is also the only university within The Texas State University System to have attained the “Doctoral Research†classification. Lamar University, Texas State University at San Marcos and Sul Ross State University, as well as Stephen F. Austin State—which is not a member of the TSUS—are classified as “Large Master’s†institutions.

Not playing SHSU in 2010 is a disappointment to .... nobody!!

And as far as flagship status is concerned, nobody here has said Lamar is worthy of flagship status.  But neither is SHSU or Texas State.  Let's compare some numbers from Texas Higher Education Accountability System:

Research Expenditures in 2006 (in millions):

LU $ 3.278  (Mr. Simmons says research is now at $8 million)

SHSU $ 3.143

Texas State $ 9.498

Endowment dollars in 2007 (in millions):

LU $42

SHSU $32

Texas State $57.2

Maybe SHSU should start producing engineers so they can give back millions to the school.  That works for Lamar.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
