After the game they gave us last year, LA Tech certainly deserves a rematch. They always seem to put up a good fight even though we have never lost to them.

I'm not 100% on this, but think 2013 will be the first year Lamar plays only teams that have full-time football programs. They were scheduling part-time football programs (Langston, Webber International, Texas College) that would only play 5-6 games a year. Mostly NAIA squads...

well, they were total counts about that game. We were in a scheduling nightmare and we conceded a home/home to them provided they played in Shreveport. Then they wanted money on top and we acquiesced. For that we gave them the home game first and the return date is 3 years later. Total joke and it only happened because we had no real options. And to top it off they moved it screwing us with the bye.

I'm a businessman first and if they came to me with a proposal I'd listen, but I wouldn't actively seek them out as an opponent in the near future. If they had played nice, I might have suggested a long-term deal with them - something along the lines of 3 for 2 as part of this. But given how this went down, I'd play the agreed game and move on. There are far too many other midmajors within earshot that will actually work with us.
