For the past 3 years, something I have wanted to do is to write a column on the first Black American Players that donned the Blue and Gold of Lion Football. As I was researching the players and coaches that I felt would be the ones prominently featured, I was reminded of a quote that…

Wade Wilson’s passing this past Friday was a shock to Lion Nation to say the least. We have had personal dedications to him over the past couple of days courtesy of Russell McLean, who had a personal relationship with him. However, I have been prompted by something I heard this morning to tell the world…

Football: Congrats to Lion Senior Kristov Martinez, who was named to the AFCA First Team All-American team. A word to NFL scouts: You need to look at this kid. Kicking on this level is not ANY different than kicking in Division I. You still have to put the ball through the uprights. Kristov has a…

After setting a school record for the largest margin of victory over an opponent, Jason Burton’s squad pushed their overall record to 4-4 and 1-1 in conference play. Here are 5 thoughts on the season so far. The 4 wins have been pretty indicative so far of what this group can do. The closer games…
Coach Carthel, I have to admit I was disappointed when I saw you had taken the job at Stephen F. Austin. However, as someone who bleeds the blue and gold, you have to understand that my hope for you to stay here would be biased, but as the brother of a high school coach, I…
