First, the defense played another fantastic game. They have saved this season multiple times, and the fact that we are even in the playoff picture is almost completely due to them. There was a drive or two where big plays let UTPB score, but shutting out the Falcons in the second half and letting them…
Lucky Lions……….Bring us home, Bring us home.
Greetings, Lion fans….normally, you would be seeing 5 Minor Thoughts, or the Pre Snap Read, but we received a question about the regional rankings, what they are, and how they affect playoff seeding. We here at The Wire welcome any questions our readers might have, and we’re more than happy to answer. To begin, Division…
A LOT TO GET TO, and sorry for the delay. Volleyball: A huge congrats is in order for Coach Craig Case and his netters as they are currently 23-5 overall, second in the Lone Star conference, ranked 21st in the nation, and 2nd in the first round of regional rankings for the NCAA tournament. If…
This was a total team win. Offense looked better, not explosive, but they were moving the ball much better than they had been in prior games. Kane Wilson did not need to throw for 400 yards, his 131 yards from 12/15 passing and 1 passing TD was more than enough. Ovie Urevbu had 118 yards…
A lot of sports to get to so let’s get to it. Volleyball- Craig Case’s Volleyball squad continues to push their season to the limit as his squad has now notched a 20-5 overall record and a 12-3 LSC record notching them a number 21 ranking nationally and second in the Lone Star Conference. The…
Let’s get right to it. We needed a win like this. A dominating win that was really never in question and one that went a lot better than the last time we trekked to Silver City. That being said, a blowout win where you really did not play all that well, but you made some…
1. Let’s start with the obvious, the officiating of this game was a complete and total travesty. If this is the best the Lone Star Conference can put as far as an officiating crew, that is a sad product. You could say at this point, I might be used to bad LSC officiating, but…
The last 36 or so hours have been very……interesting to say the least. I am wiped out both mentally and physically, but here we go. Left DFW around 1 PM yesterday and got to Wichita Falls right at 3. It was a nice and very pleasant drive across the region, an area I do not…
5 Thoughts on a much needed dominating win. Kane Wilson is your new starting quarterback. For those who wondered why this guy was not the starter from day one, the staff had decided to go with Preston Wheeler because Wilson had the potential to make risky throws, and the offensive staff for this team stresses…
First thought that came to mind was this. Back when I was in JR High, I played Soccer for the school I was attending (don’t knock me too hard, we did not have football). Anyway, we were up 3-0 at halftime, got cocky, and ended up tying 3-3. Our coach was furious and he came…
Ok, we are 3-0. That is the good news. It may not feel like it, it may feel like in alternate universes we are 0-3 or 1-2, but we are undefeated. I have to keep telling myself that. Right after the game, Russell (AKA Lionmojo) texted me and said “We are getting everyone’s best shot…
A few thoughts on a disappointing………win. William Jewell deserved to win this game. I made a comment that in the game of Football, or any team sport for that matter, you need to do 4 things to win games. First, be more excited to play than the other team. Second, know your job and do…
Lion Volleyball- Huge Congrats to the Lion Volleyball squad who knocked off defending national champion Concordia-St. Paul. The Ladies are now 6-2 on the year heading into a neutral site match up against Southern Arkansas on September 6th. In the past couple of weeks, this team has beaten the number 2, 3, 10, and 16th…
Talk about running on pure adrenaline. Last day was the final day at work for me before I start a new job in a couple of weeks, I had been up since 6 AM and worked till 5, fought Dallas traffic all the way through Greenville to meet up with my Dad and take our…
Lions Picked to finish first in LSC. The Lions of TAMUC edged out Midwestern State’s Mustangs by one single vote in the preseason poll at Lone Star Conference Media Day in San Antonio. With as close as everything has been against MSU, no shock there. Here is the full media poll. 2018 LONE STAR CONFERENCE…
Football: Polls, Preseason, and Media Days. Per Lionathletics.com, The Lion football team stands at a # 5 preseason ranking nationally, and Linebacker Brucks Saathoff, was named as a Division II All-American Preseason First Team by College Football America Yearbook. Also, The Lions are ranked in the preseason number 6 by Street & Smith’s and #…
(Author’s Note: My sincerest apologies for the delay in this week’s column: Between family obligations, and getting my daughter ready for Commerce this fall, it eats up time.) As the days grow closer, Lion fans, it’s time to take an overall look at the 2018 football schedule. Your Lions are in an enviable posititon-defending National…
Per Lionathletics.com, Softball Coach Richie Bruiser had his contact extended through the 2021 seasons. For sure, a deserved extension. Again, you have to give kudos to Tim McMurray and the athletic administration for how they are not only hiring quality coaches but retaining them and keeping them winning. In 4 seasons, the Lions under…
History was made yesterday as the 13th ranked A&M-Commerce Lions softball team won the South Central Region 1 Championship by defeated Tarleton State 14-2. The Lions move on to face Angelo State Thursday, May 17 in San Angelo. The Lions and the Rambelles have faced off 3 times already this year, with ASU taking the…
