Well, here we go again, Lion fans. 10AM this Saturday, at The Hawk, we get our first preview of the defending National Champions. There is so much anticipation, and so many thoughts. Here’s five key issues that could provide some answers. Who Steps Up?-Let’s start with the obvious. Three offensive line starters, including All American…

Greetings, Lions Fans, Now that we’ve had some time to gather ourselves after a hectic National Signing Day, and sadness of the passing of The Legend, Coach Ernest Hawkins, let’s take an in depth look at the recruiting haul pulled off by Head Coach Colby Carthel and his staff. First of all, what an outstanding…
Lions come up with a HUGE win, avenging an earlier season loss by hanging on to knock off # 7 West Texas A&M. This win is ENORMOUS for the Lions and heading into the regular season finale against Texas-Permian Basin On Saturday, and I will be there along with my Dad. Lions move to 19-7…
Lions Fall to a Hot Shooting Lady Buffs team from out of West Texas A&M. Lions really need a win on Saturday against UT-Permian Basin and that is really all there is to it.
Just like their Women counterparts, the Men’s Basketball squad has a huge stretch ahead of them. They have two huge games coming up. Both are against ranked teams and both can do a fantastic thing if they are both won. Let’s take a closer look. Overall record: 18-7 Conference Record: 10-6 Home Record: 8-1 Road…
Well, success has it’s cost, and one of those costs are assistants that have success and move up. Justin Deason, who created an explosive defensive that created turnovers and defensive scoring, joined Eric Morris’ s staff at Incarnate Word. Morris was the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech before taking the head job. Incarnate Word is…
This is a critical stretch for the Lion Women’s team. Let’s take a look at where they are now and where their season could go from here. Overall record: 17-9 Conference Record: 13-5 Home Record: 10-4 Road Record: 7-5 Against Ranked Teams: 1-1 What is left: Thursday 2/22 Versus West Texas A&M @ University Fieldhouse,…
Hard to believe we are almost into March, which means Spring Sports are upon us, (yes that means even some Football). So let’s get to it. Softball- Richie Bruister’s club has started the season off with a bang, currently they are at 9-1 for the season. Opening LSC play already, they took both parts of…
Same Song, Different Verse. Jason Burton’s squad shot the ball pretty well. The Tarleton State TexAnns just the ball a lot better. TSU ran out to a 24-12 first quarter lead before the Lions closed the gap to 30-26 at the half. Heading into the final frame, the Lions were down 45-42. Then, the floodgates…
I guess this is a team that just has a flare for the dramatic. For the past 6 games, 4 times have gone into Overtime. Good news is that the Lions are 4-1. The Bad News, this means that the Lions have had a chance to finish 5 of the past 6 games, and 4 times…
Women take a much needed win heading into a crucial game against Tarleton State Tuesday Night in Stephenville. It will be the final road game of the year for the Women, as they host UT-Permian Basin and West Texas A&M at home to close there regular season. These next three games are super crucial for…
Lions drop a win on the road to move a full 2 1/2 games out of first place with a loss to a Hot Shooting Angelo State team. To the Rams credit, they shot the lights out. It is hard to go on the road and win, but a hot shooting team is rougher.…
The cold shooting continued for the Women’s Basketball team as they fell to the Angelo State Rambelles 66-55. The Lions are now tied for second in the LSC overall. The Lions have 4 games left for the regular season, thankfully all of them at home. Winning out will get them at least a Co-Championship. Next…
What a day. If Kickoff is Christmas Day, and the release of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football is Christmas Eve, then national signing day is Thanksgiving. (Being tongue in cheek). Anyway, let’s start with the class. Full List: 2018 A&M-COMMERCE FOOTBALL SIGNEES NAME HOMETOWN HIGH SCHOOL HT. WT. POS. Emmanuel Adagbon Mesquite, Texas Mesquite Horn HS…
This was not a good weekend for either the Men’s or Women’s Hoopsters. The Women dropped a 64-60 loss at Eastern New Mexico. After leading most of the way, the Zias of ENMU outscored the Lions by 5 points in the final 10 minutes to take the win. The women are still in first place,…
The Scene: Pure Bedlam.. On a cold evening at Texas A&M-Commerce’s Memorial Stadium on Ernest Hawkins field, students and fans rushed the field to celebrate something they have not celebrated in 45 years. Their team was going to the National Championship. In fact, that very day marked 45 years since The Lions lifted the N.A.I.A…
A few quick thoughts: They needed this one. The past couple of weeks have been rough for the Lions. Losses to UTPB and West Texas on the road, a tough overtime win over Midwestern State, and a loss to Cameron. Over the past 5 games, the Lions have a 2-3 record. They needed this win…
A few thoughts: Basketball is a mental game. I played it all my life. Confidence can be bolstered by beating a good team, winning a game you were not supposed to win, or making a huge play in a crunch time situation. On the flip side, it can be eradicated by losing to a tough…
(Note:Due to an unforseen family situation, I will not be able to attend Saturday’s services, so I’ve taken the opportunity to express my thoughts here. Thank You, Brian) I won’t use the word goodbye here. That has a sense of finality that my faith and education tell me doesn’t fit. The loss of a loved…
