South Alabama
Georgia State

Working on FBS games against Hawaii, Oklahoma State, TCU down the road.

You say 'return to the football field'. How long have they been gone??

[Appfan_in_CAAland]

Is that their first year? With all those Southland teams, that's a way tougher schedule than ODU's first year of non-scholly and D-III teams.

Lamar dropped football in 1989.xreadx

VERY NICE, Ambious schedule. xthumbsupx

Given their proximity to the Gulf, hopefully they are making provisions to swap locations if hurricanes threaten. I'd hate to see teams of the SLC continue to suffer the fate suffered in 2005/2008. xnonono2x

That one will be in the GeorgiaDome.

Assuming the games against South Alabama, UND and NoCo are home-and-home agreements. SLC schedule kicks off in 2011 for the Cards.

Very exciting news! Thanks for the info.

Well, they will have a decent shot againest USA and Georgia state since they're starting up as well.

Hopefully we won't have a UCA-type situation by then.

That should not be an issue. Lamar is already D-I, so there is no transition period.

Same with Georgia State, Old Dominion, etc.

No kidding. That's a tough field to navigate

UCA was different. A Div II team that had plenty of quality players from their nice Div II run before they jumped FCS.

It will be interesting to see what route Woodard goes in filling his squad in terms of where his personnel comes from. I've gotten quasi-answers on that. They are being very aggressive in getting walk-ons, which will help with the class balance. Curious to see how many true freshmen that they are able to redshirt in 2010 and even, 2011.

Nice schedule. Looks like Lamar is trying hard to come out of the gates with a good schedule.

Coach Woodard was on a local sports show and he mentioned that he's trying to get a game at Texas A&M in 2012, and a game at Hawaii too.

A game against A&M would be surprising. They last played an in-state team when they hooked up against TxSt. Thought they were done with that and then apparently, they have a date against Prairie View A&M forthcoming. So, perhaps there's a change of policy. Rather save the money on an FCS foe (cheaper foes when they are in-state and can bus) and pay more for those FBS opponents who have escalating costs...

New Lamar University football coach Ray Woodard is not only a big man at 6-6, 290, he also thinks big. Woodard, in the process of putting future schedules together, called Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Michigan and Oklahoma State, among others. His first taker was Texas A&M. Although the contracts have not been signed, Lamar is tentatively schedule to play the Aggies at Kyle Field Sept. 8, 2012. Tentative dates have also been made with Oklahoma State and TCU in 2013. Asked about a possible game with Texas, Woodard said he was told the Longhorns weren’t interested in playing a 1-AA team. The LU coach wouldn’t say what the school’s payout will be for playing at A&M, but I’m betting it’s in excess of $500,000

Good game. I don't see them paying 500,000 though. I think they paid Texas State 250,000.

I agree. It is probably no more than 400k. The LU football coach may have told them $500k... xnonono2x

LU is committed to a great schedule both for the fans and financially. Good news!
