Greetings Lion fans, after a workman like victory over William Jewell, the Lions return to Lone Star Conference play with a trip to Portales and the Greyhounds of Eastern New Mexico. This week’s column will have a little more of a familiar look to it, as we are starting to accumulate some tendencies and statistics…
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…
There are 4 things to winning a football game. 1. Be Excited to play. 2. Make Routine Plays, 3. Do your job, 4. Play Smart. William Jewell did the better of those 4. They did not lose the game, but they played better than the Lions in all the rest. Congrats to Jewell, they will…
A very sloppy second half so far. We should be rolling these guys, but Jewell is playing smarter and with more discipline, and they are playing harder. Lions need to play a strong fourth quarter to make this a better quality win. Bring us home, Lucky Lions, bring us home.
Overall, the Lions look a lot more comfortable on both sides of the ball, especially on offense. A lot more relaxed looking team that is playing a lot better than last week. An early fumble, but the defense has been absolutely stout. One thing, William Jewell is NOT a bad football team and they are…
So Far, So Good. Lions playing well on both sides of the ball. The Lions fumbled the ball but with the way the defense is playing, that will looked to be a remedy, but turnovers of any kind are never good. See you at halftime.

Greetings. Lion fans! After a thrilling come from behind win over the rival Javelinas from Kingsville last week, now it’s time to turn our attention to the Cardinals of William Jewell College. There’s not much to go on, as the Cardinals game was canceled last week at the 7:15 mark of the opening quarter, trailing,…
Well after a harder than anticipated double OT win over the little piggies(of course we new it wouldn’t be that easy…it’s A&M-Kingsville still) the Lions set their eyes on a road trip to Liberty Missouri to face William Jewell. Here are my 5 thoughts on the Lions this week. First Minor thought…the piggies are a…
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…

Commerce’s Lions are back on top in the realm of College Football, but how much farther can they climb after reaching the top, or more importantly, can they stay there? 45 Years and 7 Days. That was how long it had been since Texas A&M-Commerce had experienced Football supremacy. The Lions are somewhere they have…
