This will be a tough road game vs. Lamar...the Bears are pretty beat up,
with the loss of # 5, #41, #75 and others I can't recall. Some new faces
will need to rise to the top when their name is called and I have no doubt
that this will happen.
At UCA...they don't make excuses, they just plug in the next guy on the
depth chart and win. That is what the program is about.
Unlike other programs they don't whine like a 13 year old girl as to why they
can't win a game...they just get the job done. It is a pleasure to be associated
with a program that has excelled for over 40 years at 3 different levels...from
NAIA to NCAA D2, to NCAA D1 FCS. All the success on the field is shadowed
only by the success in the classroom with a .971 APR.
The only shame is what a lot of UCA alums have missed by not supporting
their Alma Mater...
I am a former player and I am PROUD TO BE A BEAR FOR LIFE...…………

Great post. You encapsulated so much of what makes this football program special. Granted I get frustrated with them sometimes during games, as we all do at times, but we are very fortunate to be cheering for such a consistently successful program, on AND off the field.
I graduated from UCA a few years ago and have been going to games for many years. I get frustrated when I see so many UCA graduates go off to support other schools, mainly a certain school up in Fayetteville. I don’t understand it, but I’m glad I don’t. I’m going to support MY school. A school that wins consistently and has become known as one of the more respected schools in the entire FCS.
I still think it’s hilarious how you can turn on local sports radio and hear discussion about a certain two win team for three straight hours or the glory days of 1964 or 1969, but that’s a whole different subject that we are all too well aware of, so I won’t get into that
Anyways, off my soapbox and onto Lamar! Go Bears!!!
