Yesterday we got news that the NCAA had doled out punishments on West Texas A&M and the Football program specifically for violation of rules. So, here is what happened in a nutshell. Colby Carthel, Don Carthel and Jared Hinton were all football coaches at West Texas A&M. Don Carthel formerly served as WT’s head coach, while…

I am writing this on my phone right now, but I am going to post a link just in case you have not heard, but I will have a post up pronto and my feelings will be known. http://ketr.org/post/wt-football-program-probation-penalized-colby-carthel-given-one-game-suspension#stream/0

First and foremost, thanks for all the votes. This was to be done differently than the previous ones. So here are the teams revealed, starting with the third team and then going to the first team, totally on votes, this was the largest turnout so far. So here we are. Bold means All-American, Italics is…

Defense is almost always the hardest thing to write about, which is why I am leaving it in the hands purely of the Lions who have played. This is how it works. There will a 3 deep chart. There will be a 4-3-4 formation. So two Defensive Ends, two interior Defensive Tackles, 3 Linebackers, two…

    Growing up in the San Bernadino Valley of Southern California, Texas A&M-Commerce Quarterback Harrison Stewart grew up seeing a lot of peaks and valleys. Literally. The area around Yucaipa, California is full of stunning mountainous peaks and rich grassy valley that enhances the natural beauty of Southern California. For Harrison Stewart, this is…

Changing things up a little bit, this bit is on the best and most memorable Lion Kickers and Punters. Lets face it, what they do is a pretty thankless job, and yet they are expected to do so much for a Football team. Scoring, field position, and clutch are just some of the things that…

I know that this a tad bit late, but here is a preview and a re-cap of the best class in school history. This is the full list per the TAMUC official website. The names of the BTB’s class jewels are in bold. Signees- Addison Mahana | LB | Spring, Texas | Spring High School…

So after 5 days of votes and polls, the results are in and here we have the top 10 teams in Lion History. I mainly let the former players and program historians vote on it but also did my own research. A lot of the criteria also had to do with the impact that the…

So the off-season is long and hard with this being a Football only blog for now, but I am going to be writing about some things and getting some fan perspective, so here is how it goes. I will be taking a poll of who are the best teams in school history, the top 10…

First off, for those of you who may be asking why the site name changed, it is an idea I had been tinkering with since the middle of the season. When I first formed this blog, I wanted a name that would help identify this blog with the University, the town, and show a sense…

  Yesterday Twitter and Facebook were both blowing up with news from the TAMUC athletic department saying there was going to be a big announcement regarding the Football program. I wondered what it could be and honestly had no clue. So, I did what every good blogger does, I went to my always reliable and…

  This is my next to last post of the season, well actually in regards to this team specifically, it will be my last post. I will not do a post mortem write up for the Ferris State game, mainly because a lot of the key players in that game will not be with us…

Good season. The second half was less kinder to us than the first half. Write up coming up. Congrats to the Seniors as they go out with nothing to hang their head about.

Sports fans, let me tell you something. If this game was being played in Commerce, America, Ferris State would be down by a LOT MORE than 3 points. Lions squandered two golden red zone opportunities and also missed a FG at the end of the half. That is 17 points. Lion defense is play very…

Saturday's forecast calls for 33 degrees & snow(3-5in). @Lions_FB has been preparing for that for months…#SnowBowl pic.twitter.com/KRknQayzZl — Colby Carthel (@CoachCarthel) November 19, 2015 We can beat this team. The forecast for tomorrow calls for snow and 32 degrees. Ice Bowl, snow bowl, who cares what you call it, it is probably on. The spread…

Well, it has been almost a full 72 hours since the clock hit all zeros on our regular season. This season has been merely a continuation of what started in 2013 with the hiring of Colby Carthel and staff, and for the first time in 20 years, we are heading back to the NCAA Division…

Heartbreak does not do it justice. Post mortem tomorrow.

sloppy play for the most part, and terrible officiating. Harrison Stewart hit Derrick Macon for the equalizer with under a minute to go. Everything that could go wrong for us did in the first half, so here’s hoping for a better second half.

Gameday today. Could be the last of the year at Memorial Stadium. How time flies when you are having fun. About to head out and join the crowd on what looks to be a fine day. I would also like to ask all that read this blog to keep the people of Paris, France in…

First and foremost, a Happy Veterans Day to all of those who served. This is a day I am always proud to be the Son, Grandson, and Great Grand Son of Veterans and friend to many who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Much love to all of you and God Bless.  Now, the first thing…
