I apologize for the late write up. I have had some bouts with insomnia the past few nights, but I have a day off of work today to catch up. So, here we are, 2-1, ranked 17th in the country (we will get to this in a little bit). The biggest story is the picture…

Blah-Have you ever had a day at work where you knew that you did not have to work all that hard to get through it? You just kind of coast because you can? I kind of felt that last night regarding the game. There was not a lot of energy from what I could see.…

General Chennault’s Cup stays in Commerce for yet another season. Overall a sloppy game, but sometimes you have to dig deep to win. Grades and MVP’s tomorrow Go Lions.

Going to be posting updates on the game. Kick off is in an hour and it will be streaming on the Lion Sports Network and also on 88.9 KETR with Charlie Chitwood and Brock Calloway on the call. If you are driving but out of KETR’s listening range, you can use your smartphone to listen…

Well, it is is that time of year again. A huge rivalry that may be a measuring stick for how both teams are looking right now. In the old days it was the East Texas State Lions versus the Texas A&I Javelinas. It is a great rivalry and one of the best in smaller college…

Let me start off by saying this. There are two types of officials influencing the outcome of a game. One type when the Refs are clearly biased against another team or have ties in with a team and want to see them succeed (think Randy Christal and John Bible for Texas). They are rare, but…

Sun is up and should be a beautiful day in the Northeast Texas Blacklands and I will be making my way up there in a few hours to start the festivities early. Large crowd expected. Also a note……if you are like most and will be going to Commerce and taking I-30 and have to go…

First Down-Overall Opining Well, this is looking to be very much a repeat of what we experienced 2 seasons ago in Arlington. I really believe that the win over DSU two seasons ago, when nobody, and I emphasize NOBODY picked us to win is one of the defining victories in the Carthel era. It put…

Well, the first game of the 2015 season is in the books, and overall, it was a good experience. I had a treasure trove of stuff I was going to be able to via podcast with the new Iphone 6, but I can’t due to a very unfortunate and downright unneccesary. I had set up…

The Lions pick up win number 9, pick up their first post season win since 1991, and put a fine cherry on top of a great season. Write up tomorrow. We are Lions!

Storylines- Well, what a way to end the season. I am becoming more of a glass half full guy, and this is the way I see it. Not all teams can win their conference AND end the season with a win. Only two teams will do that. The National Champion, and the teams that win…

The good people down in Copperas Cove have extended an invite to the Lions and we will see an old foe, the East Central Tigers down in Central Texas. I have to say that I am happy we ended up in the post season yet again, but I am hoping that the guys wont walk…

Consider it payback for our Football team getting hosed out of the playoff picture, but the Lady Lion Soccer team beat Angelo State for the third straight time and are heading to the sweet 16 in D2 soccer. Madison Cordts hit the net in the 44th minute as the Ladies went on to defeat the…

Overall: A truly heartbreaking end to a great season. I really cannot say much about the game other than we played a poor first half, and a fantastic 4th quarter. You have to play all 4 quarters to win, and ASU did that. Congrats to them. So, it looks as if we are out of…

So, the season comes down to this. One game. Win, and you have become the most reversed program in college football, maybe in the entire land. You win your conference, knock off 9 teams, and are going to the NCAA Division II playoffs, something that even some of the best teams in the nation do…

Lady Lions defeat the Angelo State Rambelles 3-2, to take yet another conference championship, and now look to their NCAA national tournament bid. Congrats to HC Neil Piper on another magnificent season!.

Wow. What a game. I am furious that I had decided to stay home and nurse my cold when I should have just sucked it up and made the drive. I was listening to it on the radio while watching it live, and the last 2 minutes was the most intense I have ever heard…

Oh My. It looks like quite a few things have changed in the past 4 weeks.

Versus Storylines: Rollison, Tuu’ua healthy, unlike last time. Texans must face 2 All-Americans it did not have to face in round one. So, TSU comes back to Commerce, and we must win this game, and the next to notch a slot in the Division II playoffs. Really, not much has changed in the 4 weeks…

5 Thoughts- 1. First, congratulations to the Lady Lions Soccer squad for their 1-0 win over Eastern New Mexico to clinch another LSC Title. Jade Bell hit a net breaker to seal the win in the 65th minute, and Neal Piper once again shows what he can do with the talent that he has. Expect…
