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:
“She walks—the lady of my delight—
A shepherdess of sheep.
Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white;
She guards them from the steep.”
—Alice Meynell (1847–1922)
