First the above image is something I have dreamed of seeing for years now, and I want to emphasize how important the naming of the field after Coach Hawkins. First, it was a long overdue honor for the greatest man to ever lead our program. Second, it gives us an identity. No longer do we…
Great win on Ernest Hawkins Field. Post Mortem Wrap up in the morning. Everyone enjoy the extra night of sleep tonight.
Very impressed, Lions taking care of business on both sides of the ball. The penalties are still an issue but that does not negate how well the Lions have played. In other news: Midwestern escaped with a last second win over Tarleton 45-42. Bummer.
I have been hard at work all day, putting hours in on a Saturday, so I hate that I will not be able to be in Commerce, but I will be watching and live blogging.

Had to go a little out of the way to find me a source on UTPB Football, but we found DonJon from Pigskinprep.com who is a graduated of UTPB and lives in Odessa and is an avid Falcon supporter. He was nice enough to sit down and discuss the Falcon program and the upcoming matchup with…
This Saturday when the Lions take the field against Texas-Permian Basin, they will be the first team to run onto Ernest Hawkins Field. For close to a half decade, there has been a serious push to have some kind of honor for Coach Hawkins, the winningest coach in Lion football history. He did many very…
First, lets get to polls. In the AFCA national rankings, the Lions stayed at 9th in the country. In the Region 4 polls, they moved up into a playoff slot with a 7th place ranking. I have a feeling that a lot will change in 2 weeks. Good enough to get to host another playoff…
First and foremost, I want to congratulate Luis Perez who is now the all time leading passer yardage wise in Lion football history. That is a huge accomplishment as the program has had some fantastic passers go through it. It took a long time for someone to break Bob Bounds record. When you think about…
Sloppy and uninspired final quarter, but Lions get the road win against a very much improved Buff team. Luis Perez had a fantastic game and there were some big time highlights. Post Mortem in the morning.
Bring us home Lucky Lions, bring us home.
Luis Perez is playing H-O-T right now. This the best game I have seen him play in his career. Every incomplete pass has been completely the fault of his REC’s. Mistakes have left points off the board and put points on the board for the Buffs but the Lions are getting better as the game…
Buck Wilson just returned a 100 yard kickoff to make the score 21-10 to close the first quarter. So far, very impressed with the Lion offense. I LOVE the play calling. Very aggressive and Storm is going for the throat. Perez has made some NFL caliber throws, and Darrion Landry is freakishly fast.
This just in, top ranked Northwest Missouri fell to old Lion foe Pittsburg State. That is HUGE for the Lions in the national rankings and might have some effect on the regional rankings. I will be live blogging and watching the game at home and will be watching other games as well that are of…

Glad to have this back and would like to thank Buff Fan 05 from d2messageboard.com who shed some quick and insightful light on the upcoming matchup with the Buffs. Lets get to it- TLW: “What are you overall thoughts on the matchup? BF: “Honestly, It is going to get ugly quick and I hate to…

It is that time of year again, the big cross state rivalry between the Buffs of the West and the Lions of the Northeast. This is still a big time rivalry full of raw emotions and the desire of both teams and fanbases to beat the pulp out of the other. It never gets old,…
A lot of people have asked me over the past few hours “What the heck is up with the whole “fortune favors the bold” quote? I watched a back episode of Gotham and that line was used. When the game was close and we needed a score with the clock moving to give the Lions…
Good Team win. Fortune Favors the Bold. Post Mortem Tommorrow.
