If there has been one thing that been a constant in our university community over the past 5-6 years it has been this…. Division. Not Division I, but Division over Division I, and other things. On this blog and on my podcast I have expressed my consternation about a lot of things our current administration…
Ozlo Rigby-He hit the game winner that got that nasty taste out of the mouth of losing last season down in The Valley, and it was a big. He is one of the best kickers in the FCS. No question. Ben Mehan-Punted for 40 yards an attempt and did his absolute best to give Rigby…
Wow, just wow. What a game, and on homecoming. After last week’s loss, Clint Dolezel knew the clock was ticking on his time in Commerce, and he delivered with a team that was prepared. He was ready and had this team ready. His first test was passed, now onto the next round. They say the…

We fumbled the opening kickoff. The OPENING kickoff. Our defenive tackling is extremely poor. We knew their QB could run and he ran all over us. Our offense moved the ball well and found a way to blow it once they got inside the 10. Our running game is still strong and the O-Line is…

A game where we looked like at first we would put up a fight, or at least make it interesting. It got less interesting as the Hurricanes poured on the points. I thought the defense would be our saving grace, but it was obvious they were exhausted and the flood gates opened and what was…

Jack Jacobs-You probably didn’t know this, but Jack Jacobs had never made a start in college. In fact, he had never taken A SNAP at Quarterback in College. He had not seen game time since he was a Senior in High School at St. Francis High School in Southern California. His first college start and…
I mean, a win is a win. This is one of those games that you will have to have watched from start to finish. It wasn’d as dominant as it could have been, but it did not look quite as bad as some might think. It was a gritty win. The game was won in…

I remember the first time I was confronted with what a need was and what a want was, and why one came before the other. It was a text book in second grade I think and it was a social studies class. It was illustrated and it had a diagram of pictures of things that…
Let’s start with this obvious fact. SFA kicked our butts in every way, shape and form. I really dont know what else to say. Its one thing to play hard and lose, its another thing to play sloppy, turn the ball over, Everything I praised us for NOT doing last week, we did this week.…

Back in 2005, I remember an interview I listened to with former Texas Tech Quarterback Cody Hodges. He played QB at Tech from 2001-2005. He was from Hereford, a local guy and had a storied high school career, but he was now moving into his Senior year after Texas Tech had left the middle of…
A very winnable game. At the start of the game, Mercer looked like they were going to buzzsaw their way after both teams traded 3 and outs. Then the Lions were within two scores before the offense handed Mercer their final 7 points. Turns out to have been the difference. The Lions had some great…

Overview: August of 2022 was the start of a new journey for the East Texas A&M football program and indeed, the entire athletic department. However, in Texas, specifically rural Northeast Texas, football comes first, middle, and last in regards to what needs to be a winning program. Anything else is considered a disappointment. 2026 East…
