I was watching some of the UL LAF (A.K.A. "You'll Laugh" and "OHH LA LA") vs Ole Miss baseball regional tonight and the UL LAF baseball stadium has pine trees growing outside the outfield fences. It looked really good. I've always wondered why LU doesn't plant more trees around campus. One thing you can do in Southeast Texas better than just about any other place in the country is grow trees. Beaumont's annual average rainfall is 58.03 inches, vs 40.55 inches for Seattle, 44.35 inches for Portland, Oregon and 49.16 inches for Portland, Maine. A row of pine trees outside the baseball outfield wall and maybe a few rows of pine trees between the football stadium and Mobile O…

From the Beaumont Enterprise, LU ranks first in the conference (#137 overall in the country) with a $15.4 million budget. This info comes from USA Today. http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/2014/06/04/how-does-lamars-revenue-stack-up/

According to ESPN, Daniel Sams is transferring to McNeese from Kansas State. He can run as well as throw. He will be the best QB at McNeese since Kerry Joseph. He will be a junior and have 2 seasons as a Cowboy !!! This is the piece to the puzzle that was missing at MSU. This guy is awesome and McNeese has a real chance to go to Frisco now.

I've been following the Cardinals since the 80's and have been the quality of the program's results precipitously drop the last 10 years. Which brings up the question of whether it's time for Gilligan to hang up his cleats and let someone else take over. We've seen programs develop quickly and see success around the conference and country... is Gilligan the problem, the solution, or what? Thoughts?

The D-II Lone Star Conference has had a "Football Festival" and the "Death Star" aka "Jerry World" for several years. This next season, four fooball games will be played on September 20. Just wondering if the SLC could do something similar at either Reliant Stadium, the Superdome, or Jerry World. http://www.lonestarconference.org/news/2014/5/13/FB_0513144621.aspx

I'm seeing more and more reports of the "big boys" (including some of the G5 programs now) not wanting to schedule FCS programs in the future. The latest round is from some of the SEC programs. Just wondering if a conference scheduling alliance among the SLC and some of the other FCS conferences might be an alternative. Would a scheduling alliance help soften some of the blow if the "money game" opportunity dries up? Conferences I think would be great to align with would be the Big Sky, Southern, Ohio Valley Conference, Missouri Valley Football Conference, SWAC, MEAC, and maybe the Colonial and the Big South. The alliance could be set up such that teams within a par…
