Drink it in Lion Fans! Revel in it. An extremely Happy Morning After tomorrow, but from now on, your Lions are…….THE CHAMPIONS.
15 minutes to go, Lion fans! Great defensive effort to overcome a costly fumble, and then the 2017 Harlon Hill Award winner does what he does. Take heart, Lion fans.
Sloppy second quarter….Lions miss on a couple of scoring opportunities, and allow a touchdown pass to Ashley shortly before the half, but maintain a 20-14 lead. Take heart, Lion Fans…..this team has shown an amazing ability to adjust at halftime. Let’s hope they do it again.
So far, so well…..other than a fake punt going awry, the Lions are off to a great start.
Here we are, Lion Fans…..Game Day. The day for which we have hoping and dreaming has arrived. It all comes down to 60 minutes of football to decide the Championship.(Note: Due to unforseen technical difficulties, the venerable Brian Pate will be unable to post the Pre Snap read or Quarter updates, so I’ll be filling…

It’s Here. The week many of us thought we might never see. The week where Texas A&M-Commerce plays for the National Championship. Whenever there is uncharted territory for a team, the best thing a team can do in my opinion, is to keep the schedule the same and not let anything be distracting or take…
A lot of thoughts to put down, so let’s get to it. `1. Surreal. That is the first and only word I can use. It was just five years ago that I was sitting in Memorial Stadium watching the Lions get pummeled by West Texas A&M. There were MAYBE 500 people in the entire stadium,…
For the first time since 1972, The Lions of Texas A&M-Commerce are headed to the National Championship Game. A lot of thoughts tomorrow. Wow, just wow.
Game is still close. The Lions will find out what they are made of in these final 15 minutes. Let’s WIN THIS!
Lions have the upper hand for right now. Colby Carthel making the punt fake call was huge. Fortune favors the bold. Lions get the ball to start the second half.
Its been a heavyweight fight as everyone has expected.
In Less than 4 hours, every seat in this stadium will be filled. Time to Rise, Time to Roar. Let’s do this.
