The 2016 schedule is out and the season looks to be full of changes and different foes from the years past. We are meeting 4 teams for the first time ever and of course have some familiar foes on the list as well. So, lets rank them from least difficult to most difficult. 11. College…

My apologies for the lack of writing the past couple of weeks. Things have been strange with the passing of Dr. Jones and then I turned 30 last Friday, so to say things have been crazy is an understatement. First, Lion nation needs to continue to pray for the Jones family as they are in…

  To say that I am in shock is a tremendous understatement. Today I heard someone very important to the Lion family had passed, but never in a million years did I think that the President had. So, after reading tons of news sources, I have some additional information that will shed some light on…

    Per news reports and a University release, Dr. Daniel Jones passed away this morning. Details are unknown at this time, but I have to say I was shocked to say the least. We Will be keeping you updated with anything factual that comes up, but pray for Dr. Jones’ family and the entire…

Recently I was in Commerce and decided to head to the downtown area. I swung by the old Cow Hill Express Coffee like I had done so many times in my undergraduate days where I studied, did homework, used the WIFI and took in a great coffee drink. None of that happened. I see the building…

Doesn’t every love a good road trip? I guess it depends on who you ask. For the upcoming season though, the A&M-Commerce Football team will be doing a whole lot of driving. Let’s take a look at where they are headed and the difficulty of the trips. Week 2-McCool Stadium-Cleveland, Mississippi vs. Delta State. One…

Once again, our attention stays on the some of the greatest linemen to ever wear the uniforms of the East Texas State/Texas A&M-Commerce jersey. So here they are, and in no particular order. First, I am starting with a very special group, I had 3 Lion greats say this was a special offensive line, and…

In collegiate athletics, every University has that one coach that is the epitome of what their school embodies. That coach has success, but is not just known for his or her success, but for their actions. Several young Men and Women in this country have spent 4 years with a coach away from home that…

There was a surprise coming at some point this week and this was it, and it is a good one. This is a great deal that was negotiated by Tim McMurray and all of the athletic department. Have to give them props on this one big time. I will post the link so you can…

Yesterday we got news that the NCAA had doled out punishments on West Texas A&M and the Football program specifically for violation of rules. So, here is what happened in a nutshell. Colby Carthel, Don Carthel and Jared Hinton were all football coaches at West Texas A&M. Don Carthel formerly served as WT’s head coach, while…

I am writing this on my phone right now, but I am going to post a link just in case you have not heard, but I will have a post up pronto and my feelings will be known. http://ketr.org/post/wt-football-program-probation-penalized-colby-carthel-given-one-game-suspension#stream/0

First and foremost, thanks for all the votes. This was to be done differently than the previous ones. So here are the teams revealed, starting with the third team and then going to the first team, totally on votes, this was the largest turnout so far. So here we are. Bold means All-American, Italics is…

Defense is almost always the hardest thing to write about, which is why I am leaving it in the hands purely of the Lions who have played. This is how it works. There will a 3 deep chart. There will be a 4-3-4 formation. So two Defensive Ends, two interior Defensive Tackles, 3 Linebackers, two…

    Growing up in the San Bernadino Valley of Southern California, Texas A&M-Commerce Quarterback Harrison Stewart grew up seeing a lot of peaks and valleys. Literally. The area around Yucaipa, California is full of stunning mountainous peaks and rich grassy valley that enhances the natural beauty of Southern California. For Harrison Stewart, this is…

Changing things up a little bit, this bit is on the best and most memorable Lion Kickers and Punters. Lets face it, what they do is a pretty thankless job, and yet they are expected to do so much for a Football team. Scoring, field position, and clutch are just some of the things that…

I know that this a tad bit late, but here is a preview and a re-cap of the best class in school history. This is the full list per the TAMUC official website. The names of the BTB’s class jewels are in bold. Signees- Addison Mahana | LB | Spring, Texas | Spring High School…

So after 5 days of votes and polls, the results are in and here we have the top 10 teams in Lion History. I mainly let the former players and program historians vote on it but also did my own research. A lot of the criteria also had to do with the impact that the…

So the off-season is long and hard with this being a Football only blog for now, but I am going to be writing about some things and getting some fan perspective, so here is how it goes. I will be taking a poll of who are the best teams in school history, the top 10…

First off, for those of you who may be asking why the site name changed, it is an idea I had been tinkering with since the middle of the season. When I first formed this blog, I wanted a name that would help identify this blog with the University, the town, and show a sense…
