Storyline of this game was total domination by the Lions. Do not let the score fool, you, this could have been far worse, but it was 35-0 at the half and it was apparent that the Lions were dominant from start to finish. Props to HC Carthel and his staff for playing every player on…

   This week’s ask the oppoenent, we sit down with d2messageboard.com user and OPSU fan NewOPSUDad as he was kind enough to take time to chat with us and provide us with some  game info and some notable things about OPSU. BTB: How are the OPSU fans and alums embracing the move the LSC? What…

First question is this….will we see a more disciplined group on Saturday? That is the most important thing that we can hope for. Colby Carthel was not shy about his desire to purge the penalties and drive killers that plagued the Lions and we will see Lion team that I am sure got the message,…

New AFCA polls came out and the Lions stay at number 6 despite a tough and crazy win Saturday night. Really, I did not expect nor did I believe we should move up. This weeks upcoming matchup with Oklahoma Panhandle State will tell how well they have progressed with the penalties and sloppy play. More…

There is a lot to get to. First I want to thank Fred Woods for mentioning me in his hall of fame acceptance speech and the all of the props I was given at the tailgating for this blog. It was something that gave me a tremendous amount of joy that I helped a fellow…

Whew. This was an emotionally taxing game on all fronts, but this game, yes it was fun, yes it was exciting, but I will give it less than that and will do the post mortem. Either way 5 straight Chennault Cup wins and that means something against a great team like Texas A&M-Kingsville. My post…

In another battle for General Chennault’s Cup, here is Javelina Alum from d2messageboard.com to answer some questions about this highly anticipated matchup. BTB: Tell us how the feelings are among the fan base about the mass improvement the Hoggies have made the past 2 seasons. JA: Coach Wilk has everyone optimistic and excited about the…

First off, I wanted to apologize to the Cross Country members. Despite this being a Football intensive blog, I try to keep at least basic news coming on all other sports. Also, being a Cross Country athlete in High School and almost one in College (long story), I am going to ensure the teams get…

The AFCA polls came out and the Lions are extremely close to being a top 5 team for the first time since 1995. The Lions are now ranked 6th with a big one coming up against Texas A&M-Kingsville this weekend in Commerce. The new polls are as follows. (Just a side note, the Lions have…

Overall Opining: From start to finish, this was a dominating performance by the Lions. It took 90 seconds to establish domination, and what you saw from that point on was nothing but sheer dominance on the offensive side, hard nosed and well disciplined defensive football, and special teams that could not be done any better.…

Just a complete domination by the Lions. Just a few thoughts. Again, total domination on all three sides of the ball. Just a great overall performance by the Lions Luis Perez was good last week, he was GREAT this week. He just looks in complete control and has the poise and presence that is needed…

No Colby Carthel-I really do not know how HC Carthel delegates the coaching, but I know this, if they work for him, they share his overall philosophy on coaching. They have a plan of attack the job of the players is to execute. I also wonder how hard this must be on him as I…

So, due to a running late itnerary, I am going to give the day to our weekly session with our opponent representing Eastern New Mexico. I will have the 5 thoughts up as the opening thread for the game. So, here is d2messageboard.com user gohounds to give us some insight into the game. BTB: Since…

The number 7 ranked Lions will head off West to face Eastern New Mexico in Portales, NM. This is the first time The Lions will face the Greyhounds in their brand new on campus stadium in Portales. I have no idea what is going to happen to the stadium at Blackwater Draw. I say keep…

  Grades, MVP’s and overall thoughts. All in Reverse order. Overall opining: First, The Lions went into a tough environment against a very good team with a new quarterback, new defensive players, and a lot of unknowns. We know now a lot of other things. Like our offense is legit, our REC’s are fast, Richard…

I still have some binge college football watching to do, but I will have the post mortem up tomorrow. This was a huge win either way you add, subtract, divide or multiply it. Grades, MVP’s and overall thoughts tomorrow. What a great win.

One half left to play. Let’s clean up the sloppy play and head back to Northeast Texas with a win. Let’s do this!
