Greetings, Lion fans. It’s very tough to find positives after a game like we just saw, and there were a few, but admittedly not many. The Lions surrendered a second half lead again, and for a third time this season, lost a game to an inferior team, a game they should have won. Let’s get…

The 5 Wide Morning After Thoughts-Northwestern State
Overall, I really do not have the words to articulate how bad this loss was. You have to give NWS a lot of credit. They walked into our house and kicked up squarely in our hind parts and made us take it. Their fans showed up and traveled well, and we played the worst game…

Here is the long and the short of it. We ran into a better team yesterday. A very good team. Quick, fast, and experienced. They were physical on both sides of the ball and also on special teams. Their offense was as good as advertised, their defense was super physical and very quick, and their…
