Thoughts on last week…..while not a pretty win, the…
Greetings, Lion fans, and in this week’s edition of the Notebook, we’ll take a closer look at the Buffaloes of West Texas A&M.

Now, it’s back to business, and a look at a homecoming match up with the Western New Mexico Mustangs. In last week’s loss…
Greetings, Lion fans, and after a disappointing weekend in Stephenville, it’s time for the Lions to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and prepare for a Homecoming battle with the Mustangs of Western New Mexico.

Greetings, Lion fans, and welcome to this week’s edition of the Blue Gang Notebook. The Lions travel to the Rio Grande Valley to face a longtime Lone Star Conference foe the TAMUK Javelinas(for some of us older alums, it’s still Texas A&I.).

(Note: After all this time, I was finally able to get my name corrected for writing here on The Wire. Lionmojo I thought was a screen name, and I just was able to get it figured out. Thanks for you patience.) Greetings, Lion fans, and today in the Blue Gang Notebook, we’ll take a look…
