Greetings, Lion fans, I wish we had more to write about for the upcoming season, but for now, it’s the Great Unknown. If you’ve been under a rock (given the events of the past 24 hours, it’s not a bad idea), or otherwise out of contact, the Beaumont/Port Arthur area, and southwest Louisiana are just…
Yesterday the Lion Football program released the 2020 Football schedule that had some nice surprises and some thought provoking things came to mind. With what returns next year, is this the year that the Lions go undefeated during the regular season for the first time since 1953? We will have weekly preview during the offseason…
Greetings, Lion fans, and it’s that time of the year again. For a football fan in the state of Texas, the only things that compare are a winning season, Christmas, birthdays, and anniversaries. National Signing Day. Who signed where? Who’s headed to Commerce? The staff here at The Wire have all the information for you.…
At 7-3 and 3-1 in LSC play, the Lion Men find themselves right in the thick of the Lone Star Conference upper tier once again. The season did not start out well, as the Lions dropped their first two games, albeit close losses, still losses none the less. However of the 3 schools the Lions…
Going to do more than my typical 5 thoughts today. Just what is on my mind. Overall-We got beat by a better team yesterday, and congratulations to MSU-Makato on their season. I hope they win the National Championship. They have a great team and a great program. Did calls not go our way? Sure, but…
Your weekly Monday Morning Dose of all things A&M-Commerce Lion related. Let’s get to it. Volleyball- The Lion Volleyball squad faces off against conference foe Arkansas-Fort Smith in the first round of the NCAA D2 Volleyball tournament on Thursday night at 6 PM at the Regis University Fieldhouse in Denver. The Lions split the season…
Overall-Don’t pinch yourself. This is real, but I would not blame you if you wanted to. After the game I took a nap to really think about what to write that would be insightful. However, this is what has happened. David Bailiff, one of the most underrated coaches in the state of Texas has taken…
Let’s get right to it- A truly satisfying win on just about every level. I have been sick of Tarleton talking about how good they are. They honestly believed they were going to blitz their way through the NCAA Division II Playoffs one last time, win it in McKinney, and then go merrily on their…
We are going to the playoffs for the 5th straight season and appearing in the postseason for the 7th straight season. 9-2 that could have been 10-1 or 11-0, with a new system on both offense and defense and a new coaching staff with the same expectations but a different style to get things done.…
Overall-A good win that sends this Senior class off as undefeated at home this year. The game started out slowly and the offense sputtered early, but the offense quickly kicked back into high gear when they came out of the locker room. All 3 sides of the ball played well. This team needed to take…
Overall-This was the biggest win of the season. Not just because it was a game we HAD TO win or because it was a cross state rival. It was because we needed to go on the road, play a radically imperfect game, and still win by 2 scores against a team that has a winning…
First, I hope everyone had a great homecoming. I got to see a lot of great people that I had not seen in a while. Truth be told I was probably the least engaged with this game than just about any other. My Dad and Uncle came with me and tailgated at about 5 different…
Overall-A game we could have won, but made too many mistakes to win. If you were reading the pressers, you would have thought the Lions should have not have even bothered making the trip before the game. Afterwards was different. Despite losing, something we have only done 18 times in the past 7 seasons, we…
Your Monday Morning Dose of all things Texas A&M-Commerce Lion related. Volleyball- After a tough loss to Angelo State, the Lion Volleyball squad notched 3 straight impressive wins over Lubbock Christian, Cameron, and Arkansas-Fort Smith to push their overall record to 13-4 and 7-1 in LSC play. This Tuesday St. Mary’s visits Commerce and then…
First off, I appreciate all the people who checked in on me yesterday. I have been sick this entire week as it was my last week off work before I started my new job (figures). I thought I was feeling up to going but last night I was just wiped out and woke up Saturday…
Here is your weekly Monday Morning supply of everything Texas A&M-Commerce Lions- Volleyball- The Lion netters pushed their overall record to 7-2 and hold at # 21 in the nationally polls. They also picked up 2 conference wins, one over Texas A&M-Kingsville and Texas A&M-International. The Lions head to Midwestern State to stake on the…
Here are 5 thoughts on a pretty uneventful game. First, I wanted to give enormous props to our institution for the way we accommodated our guests from Mexico. From flying Mexican flags on the stadium grandstand, to the Sigma Chi Fraternity respectfully holding a Mexican flag up, to the respect our fans showed when the…
This weekend signals the end of the year for all Lion sports as the track team places 23 Lions at Javelina Stadium in Kingsville, TX for the National Track Meet. It has been a great year for all of our sports and basically every sport this year did well, and I would venture to say…
A busy weekend on the Blacklands in the sports world. Let’s get to it. Softball- In a truly heartbreaking loss, a walk off home run in the bottom of the 7th inning gave Cameron a win in the Super Regional Championships over the Lions. The Lions gutted out tough wins over Tarleton State and Dixie…
A Happy Legalized Government Theft Day to you all. A lot of news to get to and it was busy on the Blacklands this weekend. Let’s Get to it. Track- Congratulations to Both the Men’s and Women’s Track teams that won the East Texas State Invitational on Saturday. 4 School records were broken, and it…
