Had to go a little out of the way to find me a source on UTPB Football, but we found DonJon from Pigskinprep.com who is a graduated of UTPB and lives in Odessa and is an avid Falcon supporter. He was nice enough to sit down and discuss the Falcon program and the upcoming matchup with…

First, lets get to polls. In the AFCA national rankings, the Lions stayed at 9th in the country. In the Region 4 polls, they moved up into a playoff slot with a 7th place ranking. I have a feeling that a lot will change in 2 weeks. Good enough to get to host another playoff…

It is that time of year again, the big cross state rivalry between the Buffs of the West and the Lions of the Northeast. This is still a big time rivalry full of raw emotions and the desire of both teams and fanbases to beat the pulp out of the other. It never gets old,…

The AFCA polls moved the Lions up one notch and the quality of the win Saturday was a big reason for that. The last thing the Lions needed was a sloppy or uninspired win, and the coaching staff had this group prepared. That being said, another convincing win this week is something that must happen…

Yes, Playoffs. The past few days I have had multiple people ask me what our playoff chances look like after the loss to MSU and what it takes to keep us in contention. I have some good news, you can breathe easy……for now. A couple of years ago, I wrote a post about how I…

The Lions find themselves in the exact same situation they found themselves in last year. A heartbreaking loss followed up by a game against a tough Western New Mexico squad. Last year the Mustangs of WNMU gave the Lions all they could handle and it was not exactly encouraging after the loss to MSU the…

Statistics usually tell the tale of how two teams matchup against each other. In today’s pre snap read, we take a look at the match-ups. Lion Offense Vs. MSU Defense- To be completely honest, the MSU defense is not a super great unit, but seeing as how the MSU teams of the past few years…

  There is a story line when the Lions have played MSU in the past few years, and have lost 3 out of the 4. Going back to 2014, the Lions were up 17-3 at the half in Wichita Falls, looking to be in complete control, only to have the Mustangs storm back and defeat…

Before we get to asking our good buddy HOG89 from d2messageboard.com a few questions about the upcoming matchup, I just wanted to convey my sympathies and my prayers to the Midwestern State Mustangs as they have lost their teammate Robert Grays after making a routine tackle and the end of the game last week against…

Well, it is rivalry week.

A few years ago someone asked me if I was an offensive coordinator and could run ANY offense aside from the Air Raid Offense, which one would it be. This was a bit of a setup question as most people know me as a pass first, last, and always guy. I knew my answer, and…

Another big game and they do not get any easier from here, but it you have to take it one game at a time. Eastern is always a tough out and is a top tier LSC team, so here are 5 thoughts regarding this upcoming matchup. I love this game, because it matches up two…
