coachacola Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The post "chrisattsu" also posts on the katfans.com board and also attended San Angelo State so that explains a lot of his bias. But it really doesn't matter much what gets posted over ther because it's not up to them. It's going to be decided first by Dr. Simmons, then if Lamar wants to move forward then it'll be up the the presidents of the WAC schools. As a side note, here's a nice site to visit: 2010-11 College Salary Report Lamar graduates are pretty high up on that list, higher than Texas State and UTSA, higher than all the schools in the SLC.

jdcurran235 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 CA responded to TxCat on scout about how the austin market is all UT and that TxSt will not matter in that market. TxCat responded talking about how there are 100K graduates of TxSt in the Austin Market. I know we have quite a few in the Houston DMA. Does anyone know how this information is looked at. Are there any sort of projections based on this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigred360 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Shoot, my money is on CA as he is amazing with all his knowledge at a young age (younger than 30). I'm having my own debate with a guy from Boise and they are leaving the WAC for the MWC. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that admission I ask no more. By pursuing him further I would just look like a jerk. If I accept his apology I look knowledgeable and reasonable, thereby raising my stock with most of the posters over there and hopefully showing them that Lamar is a respectable school.

jdcurran235 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 It seems as though there are a good chunk of the people over there that respect LU. It is just a few naysayer that make us look bad with false info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LU4LIFE Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Coach Tidwell said on Fox sports edge that a lot of people as of late have been asking him about the WAC, and he said that the WAC hasn't contacted him directly so he can't give a definite yes or a definite no so as of right now we are in the SLC.

jdcurran235 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 There has been contact with LU and that is for sure. There is to much smoke for it not to be true. The question is do we have an official invite. I am thinking not yet. Maybe not even this year. But there without a doubt has been contact with LU and the WAC. LU likes to do things silently and that is just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hey guys - greetings from BobcatReport. Nobody - LU or Benson - will ever even acknowledge official contact unless everyone's ready to go. Why risk it? We were screaming like little kids but we already had the transition planned. Same with the dirty birds. All I have ever heard is that someone went to Dallas and met some people, and that your administration isn't rushing into anything. Good luck, and we appreciate the guys that have stopped by our place. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks for the update. Hopefully Lamar doesn't screw this up and pass on joining the WAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just relaying information from a very reliable source. Personally I'm hoping we end up with you guys in the WAC. Either way I thank you for joining and posting.

Bearkat25 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Like I've said on multiple forums you guys are in. I wish you guys the best of luck in the WAC. I’m pretty sure SHSU isn't going but when yall do make the move I’ll be pulling for you guys. I like rooting for the underdogs. Make those WAC board posters eat their words!

coachacola Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already, but here's what Tidwell had to say about the WAC on Fox 4 a few days ago: The WAC is something everybody continuously asks me about. At this moment I haven't had any direct (pause) conversations with them. You know, you still hear that we're still out there, we'll see how that plays out. I can't give you a definite yes, I can't give you a definite no. Right now we're in the Southland Conference and we're happy to be in the Southland Conference. But again, we'll look to the future as these teams progress. Again, it opened up a great window for us when we added football and brought it back. He also said they'll be adding softball in the next few years. To me it sounds like they are still seriously thinking about joining the WAC.

Guest CardAmbassador Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I have thought of another good argument in favor of joining the WAC. Everyone complains about LU's OOC schedule in all the major sports, currently there is grumbling about baseball. Many, like myself don't like that we are playing IWU in football next year, and nearly everyone agrees that basketball's OOC is pathetic. I think being in the WAC would make other DI schools (FCS and FBS) more willing to play Lamar. Right now we are in the SLC no respect so many schools won't play here either because of the money, facilities or travel. A hieghtend profile in the WAC could fix this. Either way we need to fix our OOC problems. I see other SLC schools with much stronger OOC schedules, why are we playing these weak teams? Is it money? It seems like we could make more money off pay days against larger schools than home games, I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oleblu Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 As a USU football fan I'am hoping that you folks get a WAC invite soon. A 12 school conference with a southwest division would be great. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CardinalClaw Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Yeah USU is ranked in the top 25 this year(23 I believe), it would be nice to play a basketball program like that every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcurran235 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Does anyone know where the all time series stands between La Tech and LU in MBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigred360 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 No, I can't without doing some research but I can tell to La Tech and Karl Malone beat Lamar in the Civic Center to break our 80 game home court winning streak and sending us to the NIT instead of the NCAA because we were 25-3 on the season. Yes, we were in the Top 20 for a few weeks that year. Then we lost to La Tech and our first round NIT game and ended up at 25-5 for the year. Lamar won our last meeting with La Tech in the Texas A&M tournament. All-Time NCAA Home-Court Winning Streak Record 1)129 Kentucky 2) 99 St. Bonaventure 3) 98 UCLA 4) 86 Cincinnati 5) 81 Arizona 6) 81 Marquette 7) 80 Lamar 8) 75 Long Beach State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
