Finally we showed a glimpse of what we could be. The 2nd half was as solid play as we have seen from the Lions. Of course we still have a few kinks to work on but that was definitely great to see. I know the Little Piggies thought they had escaped the Lions den headed…

What a heartbreaking day we had last Saturday. But guess who cares? Nobody. Especially our beloved friends to the south who we pay a visit to this weekend…the TAMU-K Javelinas(or the Little Piggies as I affectionately refer to them as.) The Little Piggies have struggled thus far this season. But a win against a ranked…
Greetings, Lion fans, and welcome to this week’s edition of the Blue Gang Notebook. The Lions travel to the Rio Grande Valley to face a longtime Lone Star Conference foe the TAMUK Javelinas(for some of us older alums, it’s still Texas A&I.). The 1-3 Javelinas would like nothing better than to extend the Lions misery…
Greetings, Lion fans, and this week, we’ll take a look at an old rival, the Javelinas of TAMU-Kingsville. First, though, this take a look back at was a very tough week. LOOKING BACK-The game against CSU-Pueblo was a very frustrating loss. There was no area the Thunderwolves particularly dominated in, yet the Lions still came…
I apologize for the tardiness on my thoughts. I had to look at the box scores and really think about what was correct and what was emotion, so I needed the adrenaline to die down a bit before I started to write. So, here we go- Overall-A game we should have won. Last night as…

Greetings, Lion fans, and before we begin this week’s edition of the Notebook, I’d like to give a shout out to an assistant coach who I think deserves mention and congratulations. The Blue Gang was on the field last week for 82 plays, and almost 40 minutes. That’s just shy of three quarters. They were…
Greetings, Lion fans, before we begin the in depth look at how the Lions stack up against the defense of the Thunderwolves of Colorado State-Pueblo, let’s do a quick review of the highs and lows of the victory over Eastern New Mexico: LOOKING BACK-The Blue Gang defense did an outstanding job of limiting the Greyhound…

Greetings, Lion fans, and in this week’s edition of the Blue Gang Notebook, we’ll take a look at the triple option offense of the Greyhounds of Eastern New Mexico. First, though…. LOOKING BACK- The Blue Gang, despite some lapses in pass coverage, were at the top of their game last week. Given plenty of rest…
So WOU may have seemed a lot tougher than expected…not surprising. A very long road trip to the west coast can be a difficult challenge, and it was. But we did what was necessary and won. The adjustments made got the job done. It was really the opener for the Lions. A test that they…
Greetings, Lion fans, now after a hard fought win in Pacific Northwest, this week, the Lions open Lone Star Conference play with an old foe, the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds. Let’s take a look: LOOKING BACK-The Lions came out on top of a hard fought 34-27 game with Western Oregon. We got a first look…
Before we get to it, there is a reason why we wait to do a Morning After set of thoughts. When you have a game like Football where adrenaline is pumping and everyone is passionate about their opinions, you have to let that die down. The game yesterday was full of that because there was…

Greetings, Lion fans, and while it may be week 2 on the schedule, for your Lions, it really is week 1A. This time out, we take a closer look at the Western Oregon Wolves offense, and how they size up against the Blue Gang. It should be an interesting match up, so let’s dive right…
So here we are…basically at week 1 again. We can really learn more about our Lions this week. Good thing about week 1 was no major injuries against a team that was clearly no where close to our level. Anyone that saw the game knew that 83 points was going easy on them but we…
