I fear Lamar will screw this up....where is the leadership.


Recommended Posts

La Tech is furious with the WAC. Even the hardcore anti-SBC fans are now saying La Tech should take a second look at the SBC.
What is Lamar doing?  being quiet and passive. Lamar needs not piss off the SLC by announcing FBS, However Lamar could release stadium expansion plans. At least put some make up on to attract the SBC. If Tech decides to leave the WAC for the SBC, LU can forget about ever going FBS.

Fans can be as furious as they want, if the institution isn't furious or looking to move, it doesn't matter.
[/quote]La Tech leaders has been clear on wanting out of the WAC. They didn't want to join ULM in the SBC.
ULM is struggling and  may not survive the FBS which opens the door to Tech.

If La Tech stays in the WAC then Lamar gets invited to the WAC.  If La Tech leaves the WAC then both Lamar and SHSU get invited to the WAC.  Either way Lamar goes FBS and the WAC is more than likely to have divisions by the time Lamar joins so it doesn't really matter too much what La Tech does.

Negativity wont get you far........neither will reading any other boards from other schools.  If fans from other schools read LU boards then you would think that LU was better than any other school in the country in all sports.  Boards are biased......I have all the faith in the world in LU and President Simmons.......LU will do what is best for LU and not what people think is best for LU!!!!

[/quote]Was that your attitude when LU dropped football and dropped to the SLC.  Dr Simmons and co has shown they can make mistakes. We as fans shouldn't passively hide and make LU leadership out as the perfect messiah. We should keep the ideas flowing.
Keep them thinking about all possibilities. Think of it as a space ship in an asteroid field. Do you want everyone to sit quietly and hope the driver sees all the asteroids or to inform the driver of a nearby asteroid?

Have you even been to the campus in the past 5 years UNLV? A lot has changed since Dr. Simmons took over and 90+% of it is for the better.

Dr. Simmons helped bring back football! You make it out that he was responsible for what happened 20+ years ago! I for one trust the man, becuase he has prooven himself.

[/quote]Was Dr Simmons president when LU dropped football?  c'mon dude, lets not make arguments for argument sake. If you trust him, fine. I believe even the best makes mistakes sometimes. I want to shine the light on all possible scenarios. LU probably never would have dropped to the SLC if the fans would have spoken up.

Nobody is perfect and  we all make mistakes, however, Dr. Simmons has done far more good for Lamar than  bad so I will trust him and his team to continue their leadership of Lamar...Devil's Advocate question here, is moving to FBS now in Lamar's best interests?  not saying it is or isn't, but it ain't as easy of a question to answer as some  think

Since there's nowhere to go, I say stay where your at. Personally I think LU would've lost out financially if they would've went to WAC on travelling etc. I think Sunbelt would be a better option. As it stands now, I think SLC is where LU will have to stay for a while IMO.

The odds are good the Lamar will get the invite to the WAC next year.  The WAC will probably end up with 12 to 14 teams with divisions so travel won't be that bad.  Dr. Simmons has said the goal is to be bowl eligible by 2015.  Getting an invite next year puts Lamar right on track to be fully FBS by 2015.

    • 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.
