Could Lamar leave the Southland Conference?


Recommended Posts

I hope Lamar will continue to have the great attendance they are currently having.  But, unfortunately, in the past that has not been the case in Beaumont.  We had a pretty good Class AA professional baseball team that nobody came to watch, and I remember the days of sitting in the stadium watching Lamar with about 2000 other people (not 17,000).  So, I think Lamar should try to be a great DII college, and don't get crazy with aspirations of becoming the next DI power in Texas.  We don't have the city to attract recruits like Austin or the Metroplex.  Lamar will always have to depend on the tier two athletes who are not quite good enough for the D1 schools.  Absolutely nothing wrong with this, just the truth.  Hopefully the fans will continue their support as they have in this inaugural year.  It has been great!

Only problem with your argument is that Lamar is not a Division II football program.

Ruckdad you beat me to it. Lamar is DI in all their sports and compete in the FCS of DI football.

It's time for TexasTerror to chime in and give us a lecture on this.  ;D

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
