First, let me start off by saying this. These are my thoughts. Unfiltered, unadulterated, and nothing held back. So lets get to this. I want to win this game. I want to win this game about as badly as any game we have played in the Carthel era. I just do not want a small…

Alright, so I was so excited about getting this out there, I decided to do this first. D2messageboard.com user Casual Observer, a Midwestern State supporter. I appreciate his info, so here we go. BTB: Give us an MSU fan’s perspective about this game. CO: There is buzz and excitement around Campus and the Alumni about…

A lot to cover, so lets get right to it. The Newest AFCA polls came out today and the Texas A&M-Commerce Lions are now ranked # 4, the highest ranking in school history since we became part of the AFCA polling system in 2000. Now, as most know, the program has been ranked higher before…

Overall Opining: Domination. Utter and sheer domination from the start. Do not let the overall score fool you, this game could have been much worse, but HC Carthel in his competitive goodness did not let this game get out of hand and kept is clean and sportsmanlike. Every player who dressed out got to play,…

Storyline of this game was total domination by the Lions. Do not let the score fool, you, this could have been far worse, but it was 35-0 at the half and it was apparent that the Lions were dominant from start to finish. Props to HC Carthel and his staff for playing every player on…

   This week’s ask the oppoenent, we sit down with d2messageboard.com user and OPSU fan NewOPSUDad as he was kind enough to take time to chat with us and provide us with some  game info and some notable things about OPSU. BTB: How are the OPSU fans and alums embracing the move the LSC? What…

First question is this….will we see a more disciplined group on Saturday? That is the most important thing that we can hope for. Colby Carthel was not shy about his desire to purge the penalties and drive killers that plagued the Lions and we will see Lion team that I am sure got the message,…

New AFCA polls came out and the Lions stay at number 6 despite a tough and crazy win Saturday night. Really, I did not expect nor did I believe we should move up. This weeks upcoming matchup with Oklahoma Panhandle State will tell how well they have progressed with the penalties and sloppy play. More…

There is a lot to get to. First I want to thank Fred Woods for mentioning me in his hall of fame acceptance speech and the all of the props I was given at the tailgating for this blog. It was something that gave me a tremendous amount of joy that I helped a fellow…

Whew. This was an emotionally taxing game on all fronts, but this game, yes it was fun, yes it was exciting, but I will give it less than that and will do the post mortem. Either way 5 straight Chennault Cup wins and that means something against a great team like Texas A&M-Kingsville. My post…

BTB: Tell us how the feelings are among the fan base about the mass improvement the Hoggies have made the past 2 seasons. JA: Coach Wilk has everyone optimistic and excited about the…

First off, I wanted to apologize to the Cross Country members. Despite this being a Football intensive blog, I try to keep at least basic news coming on all other sports. Also, being a Cross Country athlete in High School and almost one in College (long story), I am going to ensure the teams get…

The AFCA polls came out and the Lions are extremely close to being a top 5 team for the first time since 1995. The Lions are now ranked 6th with a big one coming up against Texas A&M-Kingsville this weekend in Commerce. The new polls are as follows. (Just a side note, the Lions have…

Overall Opining: From start to finish, this was a dominating performance by the Lions. It took 90 seconds to establish domination, and what you saw from that point on was nothing but sheer dominance on the offensive side, hard nosed and well disciplined defensive football, and special teams that could not be done any better.…

Just a complete domination by the Lions. Just a few thoughts. Again, total domination on all three sides of the ball. Just a great overall performance by the Lions Luis Perez was good last week, he was GREAT this week. He just looks in complete control and has the poise and presence that is needed…

No Colby Carthel-I really do not know how HC Carthel delegates the coaching, but I know this, if they work for him, they share his overall philosophy on coaching. They have a plan of attack the job of the players is to execute. I also wonder how hard this must be on him as I…
