Lamarcard81 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 78 days 1978 Cardinals defeated the Long Beach State 49ers in Beaumont on the Saturday after Thanksgiving 36 - 31. Long Beach had defeated San Diego State earlier in the year. Long Beach disbanded their football program in 1991......and despite a couple of attempts to bring it back....it remains a non-football school. Quote

Guest CardAmbassador Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 We had some great years in the 70s, it's easy to see how fans got fed up with the direction of the program in the 80s. Here's to Lamar returning to it's football heyday! Quote

WTS at that time played in the Missouri Valley Conference against the likes of Louisville, Tulsa, Wichita State. In 1990 they joined the aggie system, changed their name in 1993, and lost their identity. They now play in the Lone Star Conference. Quote
Guest CardAmbassador Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Josh Powdrill caught Lamar's season long reception in 2010 with a 73 yarder against McNeese State. Lamar played in the college division in 1972 the NCAA renamed the the college division, Division II in 1973. Lamar Rival Louisiana Tech won the 1973 Division II national championship. The Cardinals lost 17-3 to the national champs. Lamar beat Arkansas State in it's homecoming game in 1973. This was just 4 years removed from Arkansas State's National Championship at the College Division level. The season closer was a win over UT-Arlington. WR Joe Bowser was named ALL-SLC in 1973 The Cardinals Also beat Howard Payne, ULL Quote

LU1991 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 71 Days Lamar’s defensive coordinator, Bill Bradley, still holds the Philadelphia Eagles records for career interception return yardage (536) and club single-season marks for interceptions and return yardage (11 for 249 in 1971). He led the NFL in interceptions (11) in 1971 and earned an All-Pro awarded at free safety. Quote

Guest bigred360 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Can't wait for the season to get here! Quote
coachacola Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Don't practices begin in early August, just over a month away? Can't wait to see this team take shape with all the new coaches and players. Quote
Guest CardAmbassador Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 McNeice, that's a good one. The Cowgirls IMO barely pulled out their win over us until the very end when our QB with a broken leg threw 2 or 3 interceptions for 6. If we're going to 'upset' anyone it will be them. Quote
Lamarcard81 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Vincent Vega to Jules: you know what they call a McRib in Lake Charles? Jules : no what? Vincent: a McNiece Cowboy Jules: why they call it that? Vincent: the similarities are many...looks good on the surface but underneath is just fat and chemicals. Quote

Red Ryder Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I thought my last post was regarding a member of the "2012 Lamar Football Cardinals". Don't have any idea why it was moved. It didn't deserve it's own thread. It won't happen again. Quote
