Looking at the statistics for Colorado Mesa one thing stuck out to me, and that is they give up a lot of points. If you want to talk about plan of attack, I was reading a Book Called “The Seventh Day.” You can learn a lot of about tactics of competition by reading about history…

  I spoke with Bill Powers, a former SID who graduated from Commerce and is currently in the hard, hard job of doing Sports Info in the Barren Land of Hawaii. Bill was there in 1990 and talked about how much the school put into hosting the first round in 1991 and how only about…

Billy Minor played Football for ETSU from 1988-1992, playing on some great teams and was a two time first team All-LSC selection. He was recently voted fifth best receiver in program history in a players and coaches poll as well. He also spent some time briefly in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles. Minor sat…

For the first time since 1991, The Texas A&M-Commerce Lions will be hosting a playoff game in Commerce’s Memorial Stadium. A big deal for sure, but once again, the NCAA gave us the royal shaft. Two years ago, they took us out of the playoffs all together, last year they gave us a shaft seed…

  No Post-Mortem today, just will be waiting for the regional rankings and selection show to start at 4. Will be live blogging it.

Lions clinch the third straight LSC title in as many years. Thrilled right now.  Post mortem tommorrow.

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…

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…
