Since the Golden Triangle MSA isn't one of the 30 biggest, we can't just sit back and get plucked up. If we want to get plucked, there's one solution - win.

Winning solves all these problems....

We are getting a lot of chatter because of this article. It sounds bogus to me though. I think it...

The WAC deal we were looking at last year would have been a challenge, but there was Louisiana Tech, two other Texas football schools, and UTA in the other sports coming in. That's gone now. It made...

I don't think Lamar would go to the WAC if the New Mexico State and Jax State were the closest schools. I think the travel costs would be too much. Now if SHSU or LU both joined then that might be a...

The move up would guarantee a bigger budget, but it would require some huge expenses. So, if we're going to make the move, we need people to write some big checks to get the stadium expanded... and...

Rumor has it that La Tech will finally get their invitation to join C-USA next summer.

If true, this creates some interesting questions:

1. Will the WAC survive as a football Conference?
...

I think you will see some form of travel partnering with the addition of ORU. I see ORU and UCA as a single road trip for A&MCC, I can see Nichols and SELA as a single road trip for ORU & UCA. If...

Mostly just useless banter from the scout board. Interesting take on the subject though.

Should the WAC go ahead and invite Lamar this spring??? ...

San Marcos is no closer to the Austin airport than LU or SHSU is to Houston. I dont buy the tidy trip argument. It is only an 1hr drive to hobby and maybe an 1:20 to IAH.They do want in the larger...

I'd actually love to see it. But, many people are making it sound like Lamar being an FBS program is a no-brainer from both sides.

If Lamar gets the call, I want them to answer it and go running....

When do we think we start hearing more realignment news. The more I think about it we really have a good shot of LU and SHSU leaving for the WAC together. Especially since the conference will...

Looks like HBU is joining the Southland....

I don't think this changes Lamar's intention to...

Florida International
Middle Tennessee State

We already have Oral Roberts so Central Oklahoma doesn't make any sence. ACU to me is very interesting but i could do without HBU. DBU would be a good pick up by the SLC and so would West Texas AM. I...

Now, the reason for me showing up today.

I was looking at the HBU web-site (there was a good reason, I swear) and one of the banner articles is that the Southland Conference is going to be...

This may have already been posted but the Mizzou presedent and AD and several others of the Mizzou higher ups are now looking into joining the SEC. To me this would be a horrible move for Mizzou. If...

Just curious what everyone thinks. Does all this movement help or hurt our chances at moving up to the FBS level.

I'm going to vote "no"... mainly because we suddenly have a conference out there...

Any word on an announcement? Or are we still waiting to be asked to the dance?

While I agree the WAC teams won't be huge draws and that building up attendance will be about building a winner, when you have a stadium with less than 20,000 seats, it's going to take a lot for the...

The "attendance" at the TXColl game includes the people who bought tickets and never showed. The total at that game was probably less than 5,000. I was there and left after the 1st Quarter. ...

Let's get this back on subject. The subject is "talk of Lamar moving up to FBS".

I think that Lamar can hang in FBS if they continue on the path they're going. But, I think we need ot make...

If the reported rumors hold true, the Big 12 may hold together for a few more years which would be good for LU chances to go to a BCS before the door closes. From what I have read it looks like...

And I think the invite of DBU officially shuts off the WAC for Lamar.

You do know this was for baseball correct? This changes nothing.

Often, I'm the sort of person who says we shouldn't read...

After what I have seen in 3 games, we have way more to worry about than a FBS invite.

Very true. We'll see if they can right the ship and get to 6 or 7 wins (which isn't far-fetched). If we get...
