Here's the season-long thread for all of you D-II followers out there. So basically, here is a thread just for me:D


SW Oklahoma vs (NAIA) NW Oklahoma:

Not a game, really. 33-7 in favor of SW. This really tells us nothing about SW Oklahoma at all, because the NAIA gives no comp.

Pittsburg State vs A&M Commerce

The Gorillas beat the pre-season LSC North darkhorse 28-14. Still, the Lions put up 340 yards of offense against a perennial power. The North is weak and the Lions might run wild this season against the Oklahoma teams

EC Oklahoma vs Tarleton

44-7 in favor of the Texans. Not really a game at all, TSU put up 500 yards and gave up 150. No surprise--Tarleton will challenge in the South and EC is not very good up North.

Eastern New Mexico vs. (NAIA) Bacone

63-20 ENMU. Another inferior NAIA warmup game for a team not expected to do much in conference.

Midwestern vs Adams State

Daniel Polk rolls up 362 yards on his own against Adams en route to a 41-15 win. He also passes former Mustang and current Raider Dominic Rhodes as the Mustang's leading all-time rusher. Folks, Daniel Polk is one of the most explosive players in the state at any level.

Sam Houston vs. Angelo State

17-13 SHSU (thanks, Frog). It's hard to know if Angelo has gotten a lot better, or if SHSU is just a terrible championship division team. My bet is on the latter: Angelo is still a few years away from competitiveness in the vicious LSC South. SHSU should have handled them easily.

Coming attractions:

West Texas A&M vs. South Dakota

A premier matchup. One of the nation's best D-II teams comes to Kimbrough to play a top 20 WTAMU team. South Dakota should win, but the Buffs are tough at home.


Tarleton at Stephen F. Austin

Another champ. division-DII crossover. This will be a good indicator of how good Tarleton really is.

Not to many other great LSC matchups, although my beloved Wildcats go into action against scandal plagued Central Oklahoma. I'll be back with at least all the scores and a recap of TSU-SFA and WTAMU-USD.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!


WTAMU gets the better of SD at home, 55-45 in a shootout. This is a great statement for the LSC. None of our schools have knocked off a good OOC school in some time. No. 15 WTAMU's win over a pretty heavily favored No. 8 SD squad speaks to the LSC's strenght. This is a monster upset in the DII world. Factor how tough Angelo played against SHSU...the LSC is looking good.

It'll be huge if Tarleton can beat SFA. The best test will be ACU vs. D1AA Texas State next week.

Those two LSC vs SLC games will be interesting.

Yup...I'm hoping that ACU can hang tough with Texas State. The game's in Abilene, but honestly, home-field advantage in Abilene for ACU is not that huge of a deal. TSU will probably be pretty good.

I think the Tarleton TexANNS have a shot at knocking off SFA. That Angelo State game...that shocked me. I really thought they'd get blown away by SHSU.

The Texas State-ACU game is not in Abilene. ACU goes to San Marcos for that one.

Hopefully this is a wake-up call for them:mad:

Big Game this week:

Abilene travels to San Marcos to face Texas State. This was already a tough game, after last week's upset....it's a nightmare for the 'Cats.

Look for score updates for all the LSC Texas teams here later.

And.....the mighty Wildcats walk into San Marcos and beat the ever living tar out of number 19 Texas State, 45-27. Might wanna rethink those D-IA aspirations there, Bobcats.

Not much other news....the big boys of the LSC South, ACU, Tarleton, Midwestern, WT, all roll. The LSC is now 2-1 versus the Southland Conference. That is all...Long live DII.
