Two years ago, Lion Legend Wade Wilson left us far too soon. He was one of the best to ever wear the blue and gold. As great a player and coach that he was, Wade was a far better friend. I won’t bother listing the numbers and success Wade enjoyed both in Commerce and the…
Greetings, Lion fans. Brian, Billy and I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone out there an abundance of blessings and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. This past year has been a true test of courage and strength-both mental and physical. In a year in which we have seen…
Football returns to Commerce, America for at least one day this Saturday, and I could not be more excited. To return to Commerce. To return to The Hawk. To see the improvements on our team and inside our stadium. I am excited and just cannot wait to see what we have going on. Here are…
Greetings, Lion fans. The staff here at The Wire hopes that all are remaining safe and healthy during this unprecedented time. Like all of you, we much rather be covering the Blue-Gold game, discussing position battles, and, in addition, seeing just how far the Lady Lion basketball team would go. Softball. Track and Field. Golf.…
Here is your weekly dose of all things A&M-Commerce Lion related. Women’s Hoops- For the first time in almost a calendar year, the Lion Women basketball team tasted defeat. Saturday afternoon in Commerce, the West Texas Lady Buffs took down the Lions 58-55. The Good news is, the Lions are still in the NCAA D2…

What a great win we had last week in Stephenville. It was a very satisfying performance. But for our Lions, I hope they didn’t get too full as there is a lot left on the buffet table. Holding a prolific team like Tarleton State like they did is the type of Championship caliber play we…
Well fellow here we are again in a familiar place. For the 5th straight season we are in the post season. Another foe who we have faced before. The conference champs from Tarleton State who are headed for bigger and greener pastures next season in Division I. There is really not much to add to…
Well fellow Lions, here we are upon the brink of the final regular season game of the 2019 season. We want a lot more though. Only way to make sure we get more is for our Lions to go out to San Angelo and bring home a victory against one of our long time rivals.…
Hello Lions fans and family. I am back behind the keyboard after a few week hiatus of personal and family time. I have been staying up to date with the Lions and definitely had thoughts, but just didn’t have time to add them to the site. With that being said, here we go. Recapping the…
Before I get into my thoughts I just want to congratulate all the 2019 Hall of Honor, Bobby Fox Award Winners, and Hall of Fame Class. It was an excellent program put on by TAMUC and props to Blake Cooper for an excellent job hosting. It is always great seeing old friends and teammates and…
Finally we showed a glimpse of what we could be. The 2nd half was as solid play as we have seen from the Lions. Of course we still have a few kinks to work on but that was definitely great to see. I know the Little Piggies thought they had escaped the Lions den headed…
David Bailiff gets his first LSC Win and does so against a good Eastern New Mexico Squad- Here are 5 Thoughts on the big win. Overall-An impressive win against a good team. Eastern New Mexico is a pretty solid squad and they never gave up. They kept grinding away and refused to quit, even after…
Before we get to it, there is a reason why we wait to do a Morning After set of thoughts. When you have a game like Football where adrenaline is pumping and everyone is passionate about their opinions, you have to let that die down. The game yesterday was full of that because there was…
A new season is finally upon us as our southern neighbors pay a visit to the Hawk Saturday night. Lots of changes have occurred since the end of last season and now. New coaches, big injuries, new turf, updates to the dressing room, no more 50 yard logo and other little things. Let’s start with…
This weekend in Commerce, there will be a 5K run and event honoring the late Dr. Dan Jones, our Alma Mater’s President from 2009-2016. During that time, our institution grew exponentially in enrollment, endowment, and some great things happened. Our Education school was ranked number 1 in the State of Texas and 13th in the…
In recognition of new Lion head coach Bailiff’s first Blue/Gold spring game, I’d like to reminisce on one of my memories from way back. The year was 1989. I had participated in my first ever spring practices. In high school it was just off season workouts. I didn’t even know schools actually padded up in…
Greetings, Lion fans, just when you thought the season ended that November afternoon in Stephenville….well, to borrow a line from the movie Top Gun, “Negative, Ghostrider, the pattern is full.” Yes, Lion fans, now is the time for the next best thing to the regular season- Recruiting. We here at The Wire have been wondering…
