I respect the hell out of Joe Washington but despise where he chose to play his college ball.

Barry gave a great talk, there was great attendance and LU raised a little $$$. It's FOOTBALL WEEK and I'm lovin it!!!

With fall training camp in the books and class set to start, the Lamar football team had its fifth-annual Lamar Football Kickoff Celebration on Sunday evening at the Montagne Center.

 

Former University of Oklahoma and Dallas Cowboys head coach Barry Switzer was the guest speaker for the banquet, which included a live auction. The highlight of the auction was at the very end when a Dallas Cowboys helmet and football personalized and autographed by Switzer was sold for $23,000.
