Greetings, Lion fans. In between last night’s Five Game Balls Column, and today’s post game Five Thoughts, it got me to thinking, so I went back and did a little research, and that research confirmed our instincts. What the Blue Gang defense has done, especially the last five games, is otherworldly. In the last 20…

Greetings, Lion fans. Tonight, we are debuting a new feature here at The Wire. Much like our “Five Thoughts” post game analysis, and “Five Storylines” on Fridays, we wanted to hand out our “Five Game Balls” for what we thought were particularly outstanding performances. So, without further adieu…..Five Game Balls for the 15-3 win over…

Greetings, Lion fans, and in this week’s edition of the Notebook, the Lions head northwest to the Texas Panhandle to do battle with a familiar foe, the West Texas A&M Buffaloes.

Greetings, Lion fans, and after the major disappointment last week, it’s Homecoming this week, and the Mustangs of Western New Mexico come to Commerce. We’ll take a look at them more closely in a bit, but first…….. When I make a mistake here, I expect that it will be noticed and mentioned. And, rest assured,…

Greetings, Lion fans, and I wish there were better circumstances in which we were coming to you, but things are as they are. After yet ANOTHER disappointing loss in game that the Lions should easily have won, Brian and I wanted to take the time to address the Lions current situation, and what happens from…

Back on the winning side-We needed this win. Not just for the rankings, not just for the record’s sake, but for a team and fanbase that was not used to losing two games in a row, especially at the beginning at the season. This was a big win against a rival, in a trophy game,…

Texas A&M-Commerce is 1-2 for the first time since 2012, and unranked for the first time since week 5 of the 2014 season. Everyone is asking why. Well, luckily I took statistics in college, at The College of Business at Texas A&M-Commerce, then took it again while getting my MBA at The Graduate School of…
