Great Experience for a chilly spring game at The Hawk. Want to say hat tip to Athletic Director Tim McMurray and Josh Manck (The SID for the Athletic Department) for putting on a good event. Concession stands were open, coffee and hot drinks were there for the fans, and there was a great time as…
The A&M-Commerce Women bowed in the LSC Semifinals to top ranked West Texas A&M 58-44. The Lions were sitting at 8th in the region, and are hoping a win over 7th ranked Eastern New Mexico Friday Night will push them into the NCAA tournament. With an overall record of 20-10, it is a team on…

Greetings, Lion fans, and it appears that things are perking up in Commerce. Gone, for the most part(this is Texas, after all), is the cold weather, and the days are getting warmer and longer. Spring practice begins this week, culminating in the annual Spring Game, March 30th at 4pm, at The Hawk. Also, the 2019…
(Note: Since I’ve begun here at The Wire, I’ve enjoyed writing on a lot of different surrounding the football program at Commerce. It’s a rare occasion when it’s a tough one. This is one of them.) Greetings, Lion fans, and I wish I could say that I’m happy to be reaching out to all of…
First, my apologies for the lack of info recently. I just got a new computer and it is running better than my last one had been for the past 6 months or so. Anyway, back in the saddle, here is the news from this past week and what to look forward to this next week.…
Greetings, Lion fans, and welcome to the off-season. The past month or two has been eventful, to say the least. Like many of you, we here at The Wire were taken aback by the sudden departure of not only of Head Coach Colby Carthel, but offensive coordinator Matt Storm, defensive coordinator Scott Power, and defensive…
Great Weekend for Lion Basketball and the Post Season Honors for Football continue to roll in.

First, I hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas and will have a great 2019 upcoming. We took a holiday break here at the wire to spend time with friends and family, but a lot of news is still coming out of Commerce, America. Focusing on Basketball, and once again, our Men’s team is out…
A few final pieces of post season accolades, so let’s get to it. The Final AFCA polls have come out, and for the 3rd straight season, Texas A&M-Commerce finishes the season ranked in the top ten to end the year. The Lions ranked 9th in the country, and one would think it was two convincing…
Having attended the presser at McKinney ISD stadium and watched the live streaming from the Rayburn Memorial Student Center, I have a lot of thoughts on this, but I will keep it to 5, so here we go. He is pumped-From the second I arrived at the MISD stadium conference room, Bailiff was smiling from…
Football: Congrats to Lion Senior Kristov Martinez, who was named to the AFCA First Team All-American team. A word to NFL scouts: You need to look at this kid. Kicking on this level is not ANY different than kicking in Division I. You still have to put the ball through the uprights. Kristov has a…
First, I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving with friends and family. The Fall sports season has wrapped up so let’s get to it. First, I wanted to let anyone who is on Facebook (and really, who isn’t?) to know you can keep up with a lot of breaking news information on our official Facebook…

Volleyball- The Lion Volleyball team had it’s best season in 31 years, but it came to an end on Saturday afternoon in Stephenville in the South Central Regional Final. The Lions met up again with Tarleton State, and this time the TexAnns were too much for the Lions, winning 3-1 in set matches. With a…
Let’s start with the obvious. The Texas A&M-Commerce defense is what has gotten this team to a 10-2 record this season and a second round in the NCAA Division II playoffs. No other reason. Scott Power has earned every single penny of his contract and then some. The relentless pressure, the outstanding line of scrimmage…

This was the game we had been waiting for all year. Not perfect, but a well played full 4 quarters where you offense played well, defense played as well, and no stupid mistakes were made. All 3 sides of the ball played very well, again, not perfect, but very well. Best game we have played…
