So, I found a really cool thing for us to look forward to, the University Master plan that should be in place by the year 2025. Now, I know, I will be 48 by the time that rolls around, but still gives me excitement, and a lot of it. Here it is below. http://www.gff.com/projects/texas-am-university-commerce-campus-master-plan/ You…

  Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of my fellow Irishmen and Ulster Scots out there. Proud of my Scotch-Irish Heritage, that unlike so many others, I actually do have. My paternal side is Celt-Gaelic on my Grandfather’s side, and my Grandmother’s side is Ulster Scot, which are basically people of Scottish Ethnicity living in…

Slow news week overall, as evidenced by the entire week’s worth of posts. Monday I will start a capsule on two different subjects, one will be match-up capsules regarding our 10 opponents next year, and the other will be a “State of Program” analysis of the different sports programs that we have and provide some…

It has been a relatively slow news day the past couple of days, and tomorrow I will have some bits and pieces that I will post on the Saturday Roar. Today, I found another newspeice from yesteryear, courtesy of Sports Illustrated circa Fall 1964. For your enjoyment- Ring That Bell -09/21/64 THE TRADITION The road…

A lot of stuff to report on today regarding the Lions and Lady Lions, so let’s get to it. Golf- Congrats to Chantry McMahan for her second place individual finish in the Lion Invitational in Pottsboro. She scored a 75 on the final day and total score of 157 to take the second place. The…

First, congratulations to HC Same Walker and Seniors DeVondrick Walker, Daniel Ehambe, Tyrie Wooten, Kameron Price, and Donavon Gage on their careers as Lions, but before I sound too fatalistic, we will most likely see these guys at least one more in the NCAA Division II Tournament, just due to Strength of Schedule with quality…

              Last night was a fantastic night for the Lion Basketball team. First, for those of you who I met and paid me compliments on this site, your words mean the world to me. It gives me reason and drive to continue doing what I do for this University…

I will say this is a little bit of a surprise, to me at least. I saw Anderson at the Game last night rooting on the Men’s team, but I had no idea she was going to do something like this, I really dont know what to say, other than I am taken aback by…

What a huge win. The Lions started the game out strong and then ran into road blocks and awful officiating, but pulled off a huge win against Eastern New Mexico 74-73 . Whew what a game. Watched the first half live and then listened to most of the second half on the radio heading home.…

Women Fall To TSU in LSC Quarterfinals. This is not the way the season should have ended for the TAMUC Lady Lions, but considering all things, and the late season stretch and knocking off TSU in the last home game, things could have been different. What happened last Saturday just had the script flipped and…

Getting right to it…. Overall-The spring game was overall very much a success and a good indicator of where this group is as a team and the strides that have been made in just one calender year. It is truly amazing to see this. In the prior games, we saw either defense dominate, or the…

I have not quite finished up my thoughts for the spring game and grades for the units, so that will be tomorrow, but there is plenty more going on and other news that has been made, so let us get right to it. Lion Hoops- A lot to cover here. There will be a pre-game…

It was a fantastic weekend for TAMUC fans and athletes, here are some links, hat tip to KETR.org for their write ups on the two big wins for the Basketball teams, and the spring game.

What a sweet day to be a Lion! The Men Knocked off the #2 Texans of Tarleton State University 79-76, and the Ladies defeated the TexAnns, 74-69. The Spring Game was fantastic as well, and this was a huge day for us. I am just super proud and happy to be a Lion right now…

              Will be heading back to Commerce and get there a little before the game starts. It is a beautiful day so I encourage anyone and everyone who can to make the game. I am always interested to see how much the group has progressed.

This weekend will be a busy one and a fun filled one if you are a sports fan in Commerce. Tonight the Class AAA Region II Boys Basketball Semifinals tip off at the University Fieldhouse. The first game tips off at 6 which is Brownsboro High (about 15 mins west of Tyler) takes on Lone…

          Congrats to HC Nicole Anderson and her Lady Lion Squad that never trailed and knocked off a sold Texas Women’s team, 69-62 in Denton. Devin Oliver hit for a game high 15 points to lead all scorers. Now the Ladies concentrate all efforts on their final regular season game on…

Both the Lady Lions and Lions Basketball teams close out the season this Saturday against rival Tarleton State University. The Women face Texas Women’s University tonight in Denton. A win gets them into the tournament, or an Eastern New Mexico loss to West Texas A&M, which I can tell you is almost assured, with how…
