Lamar's Special Countdown to Football

[TexasTerror]

Looks like someone from Lamar finally got off their tail and realized that they were going to start football! I've been saying to the Lamar folks that their school really has been laid back in their promotion of the fact they are STARTING football!

Well like our friends at Georgia State, they have a special countdown! Congrats to Lamar for finally taking the ball and running with it...
