Lamar Cardinals And Lady Cardinals
The Lamar Cardinals (variously Cardinals or Cards) refers to the college athletics teams of Lamar University, in Beaumont, Texas. The inception of the nickname "Cardinals" dates back to the school's name change to Lamar in 1932. The teams compete in NCAA Division I sports. The school has participated in practically every level of collegiate athletics from its inception as a junior college in 1923 to its realization as a university in 1971. Lamar sponsors fourteen teams (seven men's teams, seven women's teams) that compete in the Southland Conference. The newest team is the reinstated football team. Women's softball is scheduled to return in the 2013 season.

Famous quotes containing the word lady:
“The pretty fellows you speak of, I own entertain me sometimes, but is it impossible to be diverted with what one despises? I can laugh at a puppet show, at the same time I know there is nothing in it worth my attention or regard.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
