Future SBC member Georgia State got killed at home by a so-so South Carolina State team.  I read that the SLC's vast majority of FBS wins are against SBC teams.

Back to the MWC, looks like the Big East may try to get Navy for it's 14th football team which would leave the MWC untouched.  If Navy goes BE then does the MWC stay put for a while at 10 schools?  Maybe go to 12 with a combo of Texas State and New Mexico State and Lamar could take Texas State's spot in the Sun Belt.  Still many possibilities over the next few years.

If the MWC goes untouched, it could still be Lamar and Texas st. NMSU is not close enough to travel partner with Texas st. MWC is still saying no to NMSU.MWC taking Texas st and Lamar would shut SBC out of Texas football. This would be the goal. Texas st is still an island in the SBC, keep that in mind.

Meant to say Army, but yes, BYU is probably their main target, but I don't think they grab a MWC team.  I also think it's a long shot that the MWC will go after Texas State and Lamar.

But your point about Texas State being on an island is valid.  If you read the Sun Belt board it seems the western football schools are little unhappy with the balance of power, they want another western football school.  I think if they go 14/12 Lamar will be one of those schools.

I actually agree with UNLV.  I think the MWC with a TxSt or the SBC are a good fit.  I would rather play Utah St. Than MTSU.  ULL is the only team I really care about in the sunbelt.  I think there are more interesting match ups in the MWC actually.
[/quote]All day on the SBC forum fans were saying how SBC schools will stop playing schools like Mcneese and look to play SWAC schools. Talk about loser mentality. Play weaker teams to make your school look better.
Do you really want Lamar to get caught up with those losers.

Wyoming and my Running Rebels have big stadium plans.
"A proposed new 40,000-seat domed football stadium at UNLV would sit between the Thomas & Mack Center on campus and Paradise Road, said James Dean Leavitt, chairman of the higher education system's Board of Regents.

If it is ever built, the stadium complex would include a hotel, campus housing, restaurants and retail space, he said. A portion of Swenson Street would be removed under the proposal, he said.

"It will eventually develop into a town square concept," Leavitt said.

Imaging grabbing one of those $120 Southwest specials for a Lamar vs UNLV games. I could show you all my old dorm.

Besides I see two things happening next year. We either go with TxSt to the MWC or we end up in the SBC as a TxSt replacement. Either scenario is better than being in the SLC.
[/quote]I doubt Texas st goes MWC without Lamar. Unless there is a surprise regional school. If not, Lamar will bridge Texas st to the SBC. None of those cheap-o's wants NMSU in the SBC.  No conference wants NMSU.
I wonder what they will do.

BTW, FAU beat Wagner 7-3. SBC sucks. Lamar could play in the SBC now.

Oh wait, puddin tane would rather go to Monroe.

...last year you had us in the WAC.. ::) ::) ::)
[/quote]And it almost happened. Lamar has a better shot at the MWC than with the WAC last year. SBC is nervous so we could see a SBC invite once its clear Lamar can't make the FCS playoffs.

I would still like to see all TSUS schools in FBS conferences.  We need to become the 3rd main university system in the state and work our way towards competing with the likes of the Tamu and UT systems.  We have 50 years of catching up, but I see FBS as a necessary step for the three main TSUS schools.  All three schools need to become strong.  At some point if we can get the system strong enough we might be able to bring SFA into the fold.  If we can gain more political power we may be able to push the state to adjust the funding formula to be more fair. Right now the TSUS gets less funding per student than either Tamu or UT.

Forget SHSU. Have you been to katfan site. They should rename it we-are-obsessed-with-hating-on-Lamar.com.
90 percent of the non-SHSU post are hate Lamar post. Seriously, there are more post on Lamar there than on this site.
[/quote]

I understand what you are saying but I still say that what is good for TSUS is good for all TSUS schools.  The political power we can gain as a system the better.  I will root for all TSUS teams unless of course we are playing them.

Lamar doesn't need to go anywhere until they are contention to win the Southland. I think UTEP makes a lot more sense to join the MWC than Lamar.
[/quote]For the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 time, schools don't choose conferences. If schools chose conferences, then I choose Lamar to join the SEC or BIG 12.

Conferences invites schools on their time table, not schools time table. And if the SBC or MWC invite Lamar, ready or NOT, Lamar needs to say yes. Or risk being stuck in the SLC FOREVER.

UTEP would need to pay 5 million exit fee to leave CUSA to play in a conference with no Texas schools:NO Houston, DFW, San Antonio, Tulsa, or New Orleans. So does it really make sense for UTEP to go MWC?

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      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.

      Phelan and Karl Rove!

      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.
