I'm all for this one. Students and other fans were a huge advantage during "The Streak" days.

Tic on assistants: "Right now we're gong through evaluations with the whole program."

[LAZEEK]

What are the odds that Tic makes a call to Steve Roccaforte to come back to SE Texas to be top assistant? Not likely, but would love to have him back as a recruiter.

My my we are an incestuous place aren't we!!! What we needed was some new blood with some new ideas, motivation, and no ties to the local "power brokers"!! Maybe something like what SFA did!! Go figure!!!

Lamar doesn't need to "mimic Butler, Gonzaga and VCU." Need their own identity, which is to compete in the Southland Conference.

Athletic Director Jason Henderson said he did not interview any other candidate for the head coaching position.

Well, he should have said "please" when asking for Walter Umphrey's permission!!

One more thing, I am on record on here as being against PK when he was hired but after hearing him say "all the right things" in the hiring press conference, I made the statement on here that I would support him. Luckily for Tic Price, he won't have that "luxury" with me!! If he proves me wrong great, but he will have to prove me wrong!!! If he does I will gladly eat crow. I can tell you I have no concern that I will be feasting on crow!!!
