Note: Before we begin this edition of the Notebook, Brian and I would like to pass along our condolences to the family of former Lion Head Coach Guy Morriss. Morriss was a star lineman at TCU, and then spent a decade with the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL. His coaching stops included Baylor and Kentucky…

Greetings, Lion fans, and after overcoming a slow start, the Lions got in the groove and defeated a much better than expected Lincoln Ca. team, 52-7. The offense, although starting out with a sputter, made some adjustments, the most notable of which was sophomore Eric Rodriguez taking over, and lighting a a spark under the…

I apologize for the late thoughts. I got in pretty late last night and got the 5 game balls up and then just hit the sack and didn’t wake up until I absolutely had to.

Greetings, Lion fans, and after a very long 288 days….it is finally game week! As was discussed in the Pre Snap Read, 2022 will be very, very different. New opponents. New road games. At the heart of the matter, though, two things remain the same: One, it is still Lion Football, and two, when it…

2022, however, charts a new course for the Lion athletic program, having left the Lone Star Conference, of which they were a founding member, and Division 2 for Division 1 FCS and the Southland Conference. Old foes like Midwestern State, Angelo State, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Eastern New Mexico have given way to Incarnate Word, Southeastern…

It’s hard to believe and yet exciting that in just a little over 2 weeks, we will be starting our Division I Journey by kicking off against Lincoln U California at The Hawk on the Thursday night before Labor Day. It is exciting and even as I am down in the Hill Country relaxing on…

Our Final Preview capsule for the 2022 season will feature a truly interesting program that we match up against.
