Well, it is that time of year again, when purple clashes with blue and gold. The Tarleton State/ TX A&M Commerce rivalry is one of the best in Division II Football. A lot is at stake, and these two teams both feel like they have as good of a chance to win the game as…

Lets get straight to it. We kicked ENMU’s butt and it was a great win against a good team. Thoughts, MVP’s, and grades. 1. Fast Start- We scored on our opening drive, returned a punt for a TD and kept the crowd out of it. Amazing start and we just kept kicking tail. It was…

Lions pick up a huge and impressive win against a solid ENMU team, and spoil their homecoming in the process. I am just getting home from an eventful Saturday, but I will be posting grades and thoughts on the game which listened to and streamed as well. Great victory for Old ET!

Versus When: Saturday, September 27, 3 PM Kickoff Where: Greyhound Stadium, Blackwater Draw, NM Radio: KETR 88.9 FM or Radio Stream at KETR.org Thoughts: So, my overall thoughts are pretty simple. Eastern New Mexico got blasted last week, and we did very well in our game. Non of that matters now and it sure as…

Opponent: Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds Where: Greyhound Stadium, Portales, NM When: Saturday, September 27, 2014 Kickoff at 4 PM Overall thoughts: Last year, ENMU was picked to be the celler dweller in the LSC along with TAMUC. Luckily the pundits were wrong and Eastern won the conference outright and we got a bowl invite. They…

As I said yesterday, this was a great win for the program. It is a defacto home game to start with, the closest team that would make it a true neutral site game would be if we ever played Tarleton, but I know that both schools want to keep those matchups home and home, so…

Well, I am back in the comfort of my Dallas Apartment and very tired, full of Barbecue, and a lot poorer thanks to some ridiculous prices set by Jerry Jones for my very pleasant experience, and about to take a nice midday nap when the adrenaline wears off. That said, that is what you pay…

Open Game Day Thread. Post updates and game thoughts in the Comment Section. Lets go get some sausage for Breakfast.

Versus When: Saturday, September 20, 10 A.M. Where: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas What’s at stake: For both teams, there is a lot at at stake. The first thing is starting off the season with a 1-0 conference play record. The second thing for both is leaving Arlington with a 2-1 record, as the loser leaves…

Football-Per Lion Athletics, the team has been practicing this week at 6 AM to get ready for an opening kickoff Saturday at 10 PM. Honestly, this is a fantastic idea, but I cannot imagine how hard it must be to be playing that early. I remember in High School we had some 8 AM games…

In less than 3 short days, we will return to AT&T Stadium to play against a huge rival in a game that has a lot riding on it. Who will leave Arlington with a winning record, a 1-0 start in conference play, and the Chennault Cup trophy? Lets take a look at what we can…

Congrats to the Lady Lion Soccer team that made a huge statement in the young season by knocking off the number 2 team in the nation, the University of West Florida, beating the Argonauts in West Florida yesterday afternoon. Callie Arnett scored the first goal, then newcomer Madison Cordts hit the goal that sealed the…

Well, first off, I am sure most of you who have been faithful readers of the blog have wondered what has been going on or if PLN went offline again. Lets just say the NCAA and I had some differences regarding material free use and free speech. Either way, I did not want my blog…

First, I have abandoned my post here at PLN due to being totally smashed busy because of work, but with what happened, I must give a fitting tribute to these Ladies. Some things are just that important.                   In the Bible, there is a scripture that says…

I usually don’t care to opine on stuff that Lion Athletics puts up, but I wanted to post the link to this story. As many of you know, North Texas got nailed with some pretty bad storms in the early part of last month. During drills, HC Carthel told his players that there would be…

As promised, I am back in the saddle. I took and passed my Limited Broker’s Variable Contracts Exam, also known as the Series 6. I found it hard to study for that exam and also blog, but since I have taken care of that, I am back to blogging for PLN. The school year has…

Like I said, I have been very busy with work and also getting re-certified to be a Broker which has taken up a ton of my time, but I found this a couple of days ago and wanted to post it. It is a guy who has attended just about every College Football program DII…
