Going for win number 10 is a big deal. We have not won that many games since 1990, and to think we are two points away from being undefeated and probably the top ranked team in the region. Doing it against an arch-rival is a even better, and it being at home with it being…
I apologize for the lack of the writing during the weekend as I was in a big tie up. I left town for the weekend and the game was not exactly in ideal circumstances. Either way, we have Tarleton State Saturday and tomorrow I start coverage on that, however Fall sports are coming to a…
So, despite it being a halftime score, I am going to let this one go. Really this game is playing out the way I thought it was. Will have thoughts about the match-up with Tarleton next week and the thoughts going forward, but for now, I am going to enjoy this extra hour of sleep.…
I just spoke with someone who is at the game right now and the official word is that the game will not be kicked off until 10 PM, which is A-OK because the clock actually falls back tonight. That being said, I will keep everyone informed on the situation as the NCAA rules dictate if…
Just to let everyone know, I will be out of commission for tonight’s game. I am back in Tyler and will be attending a gospel music singing tonight in Tyler and it starts at 6, so I will probably miss most of the game. If someone could keep the score updated, I will have to…

Opponent Info: University of Texas-Permian Basin Falcons. Record- 2-6 Overall, 0-7 Conference Guys to watch: QB Kameron Mathis (1,397 yards passing) RB Brandon Inflesto (80 yards per game rushing, 4 TD’s WR Terrell Davidson (16 yards per catch, leads team in receiving) Chris Hoad (96 Tackels) Thoughts: I enjoy the seasons where we blow out…
New polls came out today and the Lions moved up both nationally and regionally. The national poll doesn’t really mean much from a playoff seeding perspective, but the move up in the regional rankings helps a lot. If we stay at 4, we will host an on campus playoff game, our first since 1991, and…
Overall Opining: The past two weeks I have seen some of the best Football that has been played since Colby Carthel has arrived in Commerce. This win was exactly what was needed to play the polls correctly. A dominating win that showed off in front of 10,000 people that this team is for real, and…
Defense- Domniant. They have 6 1/2 quarters with no points allowed and have SCORED 14. Offense-Ok. Could have been better, but when your defense plays well as they did, that is ok. Large Crowd-Official number is somewhere around 10,000. Keep winning and they will keep coming. Statement made-We just shut out the team that beat…
So far, so good. Lions settle for two FG’s that should have been TD.
I will be heading to Commerce shortly and get there around 2 for the tailgating festivities. Just a few thoughts. This game does not get much bigger. Homecoming games under HC Carthel have been fruitful for the most part, lets keep it that way. We have one good, fat shot to bury WT, lets do…
Sorry, no ask the opponent for this week, nor for next week either as I could not find a reliable source for West Texas, and probably won’t find one for UT-Permian Basin, so there is that. This one is to take a comprehensive look at the opponent and see how we matchup agains the Buffs.…
This Game: A huge opportunity to erase what happened just 3 short weeks ago. I have never seen a chance like this come across the table with all of the near hits and misses the program has had over the past few seasons. This makes it all go away. A win against West Texas A&M…
Lets get to it. Football News: Big news day coming out of the polling world. The Lions rise to number 8 nationally while Midwestern drops to 13th, but somehow MSU is 3rd in the first set of regional rankings and we are 5th. Don’t get me started. Anyway, this is Homecoming week and I hope…
Overall Opining: Last night The Lions really caught lightening in a bottle. Not only did they absolutely destroy a tough ASU team on the road, but just up the road in Canyon (or should I say WAY UP the road in Canyon), West Texas A&M took down Midwestern State to put us in a tie…
Oh yeah, and Midwestern drops a 35-27 decision to West Texas. Next week is going to be HUGE!!!!!!!!!!
Overall a scrappy performance by both teams, but neither is going to roll over. Going to be a dog fight the rest of the way.
