THE UNIVERSITY

OUR HISTORYTexas A&M University-Commerce began as East Texas Normal College in 1889 when founder William Leonidas Mayo opened the doors to a one-building campus in Cooper. His creed, which continues to-day, was “ceaseless industry, fearless investigation, unfettered thought, and unselfish service to others.” The institution’s history of dynamic change began in 1894 when “Mayo’s College” moved to Commerce. The State of Texas took over the campus in 1917 and the name was changed to East Texas State Normal College. In 1923, the school was renamed East Texas State Teachers College. The graduate program was added in 1935, and in 1957 the Legislature, recog-nizing that the purpose of the institution had broad-ened from teacher education, changed the name to East Texas State College. Following inauguration of the first doctoral program in 1962, the name was changed to East Texas State University. In 1996, the institution entered The Texas A&M University Sys-tem and became Texas A&M University-Commerce. Today, on the Commerce campus, the Metroplex Center, the Universities Center at Dallas, Navarro College Partnership, and through state-of-the-art distance learning, the University meets the under-graduate, graduate and professional needs of the citi-zens of Northeast Texas and beyond. Its mission is achieved through teaching, scholarship, and service activities on its campuses, and in the community and region.

OUR VISIONTexas A&M University-Commerce will be recog-nized as a premier regional University, distinctive for high expectations, a nurturing environment, and innovations in the enhancement of learning to pro-duce graduates who distinguish themselves in their chosen careers and as active, contributing members of society.

By focusing on access, participation, and success of students in quality undergraduate and graduate de-gree programs, Texas A&M University-Commerce will become the University of choice for those seek-ing a higher education in the Northeast Texas area. As a result, Texas A&M University-Commerce will be recognized for the creation of partnerships and initiatives that promote intellectual, social, environ-mental, economic, and cultural advancement of the region and state.

OUR MISSIONTexas A&M University-Commerce provides a per-sonal educational experience for a diverse community of life-long learners. Our purpose is to discover and disseminate knowledge for leadership and service in an interconnected and dynamic world. Our challenge is to nurture partnerships for the intellectual, cultur-al, social, and economic vitality of Texas and beyond.

ACADEMICS• More than 100 fields of study through 26 academic departments • 103 undergraduate, 85 graduate and 7 doctoral majors• Also: Graduate School, Extended University

THE CAMPUSThe historic main campus is located on 140 acres in Commerce, Texas, 65 miles northeast of Dallas. Classes also are offered at the Metroplex Center in Mesquite, the Universities Center in downtown Dal-las and Navarro College in Corsicana.

HISTORYFounded in 1889 by a young Kentuckian, William L. Mayo, the University began as a teacher-training or “normal” college. It was one of many such schools of the time, but from the beginning it was set apart by Professor Mayo’s progressive teaching style. He cre-ated a student-centered learning environment that was well ahead of its time, one where high standards and hands-on learning were emphasized as the best way to nurture students. That kind of teaching, along with his motto of “Ceaseless Industry, Fearless Inves-tigation, Unfettered Thought, Unselfish Service to Others” has withstood the test of time to become the cornerstone of this, the fifth-oldest public University in Texas.

COMMERCE, TEXAS

LOCATION:Home of Texas A&M University-Commerce, the community is located in Hunt County, 65 miles northeast of Dallas off I-30 and 125 miles west of Texarkana. As the Gateway to Texas Lake Country, Commerce is less than 15 minutes from Cooper Lake, which offers fishing, camping, boating, and water skiing.

CLIMATE:Annual Average Temperature – 63.6º FMonthly Average High – 74.3º FMonthly Average Low – 52.2º FAnnual Average Rainfall – 45.3 inchesAnnual Average Snow – 2.3 inches

BACKGROUND:Commerce was formally incorporated on September 25, 1885—which is why the Bois d’Arc Bash occurs on the nearest weekend. Starting with a popula-tion of 145, the town has grown to just over 9,300 with Texas A&M University-Commerce adding another 9,000 with its enrollment.

In 1873, William Jernigin erected a general merchandise store on his farm near the present downtown – only a mile west of the rival Jackson store, a grist mill that had been around since the early 1850’s, in the village of Cow Hill.

As commerce continued to flourish, Jackson finally moved his business to Commerce. Soon to follow was the Post Office, originally known as Ashland. When Jernigin generously gave a section of land for a town square, businesses thrived – the nearest competition being Greenville to the west, Ladonia to the north and Black Jack Grove to the south.

In 1919, store-front owners on the square were assessed so much per food to pay for paving, completing the project within a year. They did a fine job, too, as most of the historic brick was saved during the 1985 downtown refurbishing.

Commerce is considered the Bois d’Arc Capital of Texas. The Bois d’Arc tree, known for the hardness of its wood and its distinctive green “apples,” is the focus of an annual community festival held each September.

The Bois d’Arc tree is indigenous to a total of 10,000 square miles in the rich bottom lands of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Ar-kansas. It has been spread by man across the United States and the world.

The tree is known for its hardness, flexibility, durability and resistance to contact with moisture and soil. Due to its many uses, it is an important part of the history and folklore of Northeast Texas, and thus the first festival in Commerce in 1985 was called the Bois d’Arc Bash.

Its many uses include fence posts, house foundation blocks, and hedges for fields of crops to keep animals out. The Chamber of Commerce at 1114 Main downtown has a display of many items made out of bois d’arc wood.

Commerce honors its heritage each year by hosting the Bois d’Arc Bash – a time of celebration, fun and entertainment. The Bash includes: Car Show, arts and crafts, youth pageant, parade, 5K run, children’s activities, wine tasting event, music and food.

MEMORIAL STADIUMA monument to the fighting spirit of the Lions and the 78 former students who died in World

War II, Memorial Stadium celebrated its 50th anniversary when the Lions downed Midwestern State in 2000.

Memorial Stadium began as a project of the Ex-Students Association in the fall of 1945. The ESA and friends of the University raised a portion of the funds before East Texas State Teachers College received a state appropriation for the rest of the $300,000 to build the facility.

Construction on the facility was started in the fall of 1949 and work continued fast and furious to have the stadium ready for the start of the 1950 football season.

The stadium was opened and dedicated on Sept. 23, 1950. The dedication ceremony featured U.S. Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn and former lieutenant governor Walter Woodul. Gen-eral Douglas MacArthur, while not in attendance, wrote then University President James Gee that “I am delighted and honored,” to have his quotation affixed to the plaque honoring the Lions fallen comrades. That quote, also chisled on the stadium at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, is a famous one:

“Upon the fields of friendly strife,Are sown the seeds that,

Upon other fields, on other days,Will bear the fruits of victory.”

The Lions met North Texas before 12,000 fans that night, but the Eagles came out on top 42-20. It’s one of the few losses in the stadium for the Blue-and-Gold. A&M-Commerce has am-mased a 194-100-8 record, winning 65.6 percent of the time.

The Lions have put together winning streaks of 14 and 12 straight games at Memorial Sta-dium. Some of the greatest highlights in Lions history have come on the field.

The Lions won a share of the 1969 Lone Star Conference Championship with a miraculous closing seconds pass from James Deitz to George Daskalakes for a touchdown and again for a two-point conversion to beat Stephen F. Austin 36-35. The Lions celebrated the 1972 NAIA National Championship in front of the home folks, with the fog rolling in on a chilly December afternoon. Texas A&M-Kingsville’s 46-game unbeaten streak crashed in 1977 when Tom Hay split the uprights with an extra-point to win 7-6. Pittsburg State came here in 1991 with 56 con-secutive regular season victories. However, the Lions sent the team that would go on to defeat the eventual NCAA Division II champion by a 20-13 margin.

After winning a national title in 1972, renovations came with the addition of aluminum seat-ing, the President’s Box under the Press Box and the T-Lounge at the south end of the stadium in 1973. A rubberized all-weather track replaced the cinders in 1980. In 1987, a ticket booth was constructed in the main entry and new light fixtures were installed in 1999.

Over the last five years, the stadium has went through its most extensive renovations since being built in 1949. A new scoreboard and playing surface, as well as a new track was installed at the conclusion of the football season in 2006. Last fall, there was a new renovated locker room in the northeast corner of the stadium. Since last fall, the University has added a parking lot and permanent seating to the east.


Guy Morriss is in his second season as the head football coach at Texas A&M University-Commerce. In his first season, he led the Lions to a Lone Star Conference North Division title en route to Coach of the Year recognition. It marked the first outright division title for A&M-Com-merce since 1990.

The five wins by a first-year Lions’ head coach by Morriss are the most since J.V. Sikes won six in his initial campaign in 1954. A&M-Commerce closed out the

2009 season on a five-game winning streak, the longest such streak since a similar occurence in 1992 under then head coach Eddie Vow-ell.

The Lions had 11 players earn all-Lone Star Conference North Division honors, including R.J. Brisbon, who was selected as the co-Offensive Lineman of the Year, William Green as the Defensive Lineman of the Year and Cory Whitfield as the Linebacker of the Year. Two members of the team were selected to the Lone Star Con-ference All-Academic Team for their efforts on the field and in the classroom. Three members of the team - Brisbon, Green and Chad Washington were selected to participate in the 2010 Cactus Bowl and Green received multiple all-american honors.

Morriss was named the head football coach at Texas A&M Uni-versity-Commerce on January 7, 2008.

Upon his hiring, A&M-Commerce athletic director, Carlton Cooper said “We are very excited to have Guy Morriss join our Lion athletic family. He brings a wealth of football knowledge and relation-ships to our program. When we started this search, we were looking for a football coach to take our program in a new direction and build a nationally recognized program. We have selected the right person by choosing Guy Morriss to lead our football program.”

The former head coach at Baylor University from 2003-2007 and the University of Kentucky from 2001-2002 brings an impres-sive background that includes a 15-year playing career in the NFL. Morriss attended Sam Houston High School in Arlington and later Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. He then went on to the NFL where he played for the Philadelphia Eagles (1973-1983) and the New England Patriots (1984-87). As a player, he participated in Super Bowl XV with the Eagles and Super Bowl XX with the Patri-ots.

Following his playing days, Morriss began his coaching career as an offensive line coach with the New England Patriots from 1988 to 1989 under head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Raymond Berry. Af-ter spending a season as the offensive coordinator at Mansfield High School in 1991, Morriss was selected as head coach of the Washing-ton Marauders of the Professional Spring Football League in 1992, but the league ceased operations prior to the start of the season.

From 1992 to 1993, he coached the offensive line at Valdosta State University before returning to the NFL in 1994 as a member of Buddy Ryan’s Arizona Cardinals staff. Morriss then spent the 1995 cam paign with the Canadian Football League’s San Antonio Texans, where they were second in the CFL in points scored and advanced to the semifinals of the Grey Cup playoffs. He spent the 1996 season as the offensive line coach at Mississippi State before moving on to the University of Kentucky. At Kentucky, he spent four seasons as the assistant head coach and offensive line coach before being promoted to head coach. In Morriss’ two seasons as Kentucky’s head coach, 10 Wildcats earned All-SEC recognition, three were named All-Ameri-can and 43 garnered academic All-SEC honors.

Morriss was then named the head football coach at Baylor Uni-versity on December 11, 2002. As the Bears’ head coach, Morriss was instrumental in raising over $10 million towards football projects including a new on-campus practice facility: The Highers Athletic Complex & Simpson Athletics and Academic Center also includ-ing the Lee and Elaine Harrington Recruiting Center. His student-athletes were successful on and off the field as 58 student-athletes earned academic all-Big 12 Conference honors and 37 earned all-Big 12 Conference athletic recognition. He also revised and improved the Baylor strength and conditioning, academic support services and disciplinary programs that have been carried on through the re-mainder of the athletic department.

During the 2008 season, Morriss served as the executive associ-ate head coach for football development and offensive line coach at Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Kentucky. At KSU, he had an offensive lineman earn second team all-conference honors as well as another named to the all-academic team. The Thorobreds offen-sive line averaged 168.8 yards on the ground and another 183.4 yards through the air.

Dear Prospective Student-AthleteAs a prospective student-athlete, you may have the athletic ability to play at Texas A&M University-Commerce. If so, you may be exposed to a large amount of re-cruitment from various universities across the nation. Throughout the recruitment process, coaches may reference various NCAA rules and regulations. The rules are designed for various reasons, but the two primary reasons are to ease the pressures on the prospective student-athlete and to level the playing field from one university to another.

During the recruiting process you may have some of the following questions: When and how often may I visit a university’s campus? How many times may a coach observe me in practice or a competition? When, where and how often may a coach telephone me? What academic credentials do I need to be eligible to play collegiate sports? All of these answers and more may be obtained from Texas A&M Universi-ty-Commerce or the NCAA by requesting the NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete. This guide may be provided to a prospective student-athlete at any time. The guide will discuss issues related to Division I, II and III, academic eligibil-ity, financial aid, recruitment and many more. To receive the guide, simply request it from the Texas A&M University-Commerce coach who is recruiting you or call the NCAA Hotline at 1-800-638-3731 or go online at www.ncaa.org. Select the Student-Athlete Experience link, then selecting Becoming a Student-Athlete, tehn select either D1 Toolkit or D2 Toolkit. This site will answer most of your questions but if you need additional information, you can click on the Guide for the College Bound Student-Athlete link under Related Links on the right-hand side of the web page..

Violations of NCAA rules during your recruitment may jeopardize your collegiate eligibility; therefore, you and your parents need to learn as much as possible about the recruitment process.

Compliance GuidelinesThe Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Ath-letic Association (NCAA) and the Lone Star Conference rules and guidelines that gov-ern Division II competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Lions throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.

NCAA PrinciplesInstitutional ControlIt is the responsibility of Texas A&M University-Commerce to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.

ResponsibilityThe Texas A&M University-Commerce athletic department has responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution.

ComplianceTexas A&M University-Commerce must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.

NCAA DefinitionsAthletic Representative/BoosterYou are considered to be a Texas A&M University-Commerce athletic representative if you: • Are a present or past member of a Texas A&M University-Commerce booster club or agency that promotes the Lions’ intercollegiate athletic program; • Have made financial contributions to the athletic department or to an athletic booster organization of the Texas A&M University-Commerce;• Are, or have been, providing benefits (e.g., summer jobs, meals etc.) to enrolledstudent-athletes, their family members or friends;• Are, or have been involved in any manner of promoting the Texas A&M University-Commerce intercollegiate athletic program.

Please note: Once an individual is identified as an athletic representative, that person retains that identity indefinitely. Texas A&M University-Commerce is ultimately re-sponsible for the acts of all “representatives of athletic interests” in relation to NCAA rules and regulations.

Prospective Student-AthleteA prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth gradeor above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as studentswho have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to an-other institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Texas A&M University-Commerce booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects.

Student-AthleteA student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Texas A&M University-Commerce athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program.

ContactA contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal guardian, and a Texas A&M University-Commerce staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs.

RecruitingRecruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guard-ian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Texas A&M University-Commerce’s intercollegiate athletic program.

SAMS is accessible anytime and anywhere via the internet and provides the student time management opportunities.

Tu-toring appointments and study hall times are also scheduled through the SAMS program alerting the student-athlete of any changes to existing appointments or of any new appointments. The Associate Athletic Director for Academics uses the SAMS program to send out online progress reports throughout the year to all instructors on campus. Student-athletes, coaches, and advisors have the ability to see how they are progressing in their classes. By receiving this information academic plans can be made for each student based on their performance.

Tutorial ProgramThe athletic department at A&M-Commerce has made a com-mitment to providing student-athletes with one-on-one and group tutoring in key subject areas. The tutorial program is just one of several key support services that is available to all student-athletes as they progress toward their ultimate goal of graduation. The tutors are usually seniors, graduate students and former teachers who are committed to providing a pro-active, individualized approach in assisting student-athletes with course comprehension and study skills.

Texas A&M University-CommerceSTUDENT ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

PENNY WARSMembers of the Texas A&M University-Commerce SAAC through Penny Wars and t-shirt sales were able to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2009-10. The team who won penny wars had the privi-lege of throwing a pie in the overall losers face. Head cross country/men’s track and field coach Darren Sch-neider was the overall winner and head men’s basket-ball coach Sam Walker was the overall loser.

What is SAAC?A student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is

a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and po-lices that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

At Texas A&M University-Commerce, the student-athlete advisory committee meets each month under the direction of Associate Athletic Director for Aca-demic Affairs.

A&M-Commerce and the NCAA Division II have established a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foun-dation, a global charity that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. To raise money, the A&M-Commerce SAAC has hosted a talent show and collected donations at sporting events.

SAAC on a Campus Levelu A campus issue is anything that can be directly

addresssed by someone on your campus (e.g., Athletic Director, Senior Woman Administrator, Faculty Athletics Representative, etc.)

u Campus issues usually deal with conflicts relating to facilities, academics, or a wide variety of other issues that are specific to your campus.

u Use the resources available to you on campus; many times, issues to unresolved because student-athletes don’t know who to talk to. A solution can-not be found if the issue remains undefined.

u It is a great idea to talk about these types of issues at campus SAAC meetings. See if other student-athletes feel the same way, and address the con-cern as a group.

RELAY FOR LIFEThe athletic department and SAAC hosted a Gato-rade™ Pong station during the annual Relay for Life to raise money and awareness about cancer.

SAAC on a Conference Levelu A conference issue is anything that relates to

most, or all of the schools in your conference. They are usually more general in scope than cam-pus issues, because they are not specific to any one particular school.

u Sportsmanship and the Student-Athletes Oppor-tunity Fund are just a few issues that a conference can address.

u Your conference SAAC is a great vehicle to use in order to bring issues up to both conference ad-ministrators, and student-athletes from the other schools in your conference.

u If you feel that you have a conference issue, always address your campus SAAC chair or your confer-ence representative so they can make sure your concern is addressed at the conference level.

SAAC on a National Levelu National issues tend to affect a majority of stu-

dent-athletes across the country, rather than at a specific school or conference.

u National issues can include pieces of legislation in the NCAA legislative cycle, student-athletes well-being concerns, overall competition experi-ence and other educaiton al topics that are perti-nent to student-athletes.

u The National SAAC acts as the voice of the stu-dent-athlete in the NCAA governance structure, and is a valuable resource to be able to bridge the communication gap between student-athletes and the various NCAA committees.

Texas A&M University-Commerce hosted the 2010 LSC SAAC retreet.

NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills History

In 1991, the NCAA Foundation initiated efforts to create a total development program for student-athletes. Through the collab-orative efforts of the NCAA Foundation and the Division 1A Athletic Directors’ Association, the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program (Challenging Athletes’ Minds for Personal Success) was created.

In 1994, after several years of development by the NCAA Foundation, the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program was launched to the NCAA membership. That summer 46 NCAA institutions participated in the first orientation for administrators from around the country. Since then, approximately 40 member institutions have joined the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program each year.

NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills at Texas A&M University-Commerce

Texas A&M University-Commerce takes pride in being an NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills program. The Lions for Life program was created to to promote student-athlete development and support the quality of the student-athlete experience. The program is to serve all student-athletes by assisting them to achieve their personal, educational and athletic goals. This program is also a tool to bring together units on the campus, build community within the student-athlete population and create a significant educational experience for student-athletes during their time at A&M-Commerce.

• – Forfeit win for A&M-Commerce

The Chennault Cup, which honors the late Commerce native Lt. General Claire Chennault of Flying Tigers fame, was presented to the winner of the A&M-Commerce-Livingston (now West Alabama) game beginning in 1990.

However, the two schools could not agree to continue their series and Tex-as A&M-Kingsville agreed to make the Lone Star Conference tilt a fight for hardware beginning with the 1992 season. A&M-Commerce atheltic director Carlton Cooper brought back The Chennault Cup in 2009.

The series between the two teams is the second oldest current series for A&M-Commerce. The 56 games are topped only by the 65 games between the Lions and Abilene Christian. Texas A&M-Kingsville has the advantage in the matchup with 33 wins, while the Lions have 22 wins with one tie.

The cup is sponsored by the Commerce chapter of Lions Club Interna-tional and was originally co-sponored by the Air Force ROTC detachment in A&M-Commerce. The Pentagon deactivated the detachment in the summer of 1991.

The cup game began in honor of what history officially regarded as Gen-eral Chennault’s 100th birthday in 1990. However, new evidence suggests that he was actually born some four years later.

General Chennault was noted for forming the famous “Flying Tigers” fighter squadron in the 1930’s and was the commander of the 14th Air Force during World War II.

LONE STAR CONFERENCE

Long known as a leader in intercollegiate ath-letics, the Lone Star Conference (LSC) is an inno-vative athletics conference which aims to provide a first-class competitive experience for member in-stitutions and to allow for comprehensive develop-ment of student-athletes through academic services and life skills programming. The LSC continues to build upon its proud history while developing into one of NCAA Division II’s most successful confer-ences.

The league’s mission is to foster student par-ticipation and success among member institutions in Division II intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s total educational program. The LSC pursues student-athlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excel-lence, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourceful-ness, community service, gender equity, and diver-sity.

The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has grown from a five-team conference of Texas-based schools to a 16-member league that spans three states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico). The conference membership recently expanded by add-ing the University of the Incarnate Word in July 2010. The league continues to assist its member in-stitutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate ath-letic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports.

Throughout the league’s 79-year history, vari-ous institutions have competed under the LSC ban-ner. Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then East Texas State) remains from the original

group that was formed in 1931 when North Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

The membership alignment has changed over the years, with current members having been added in each of the past five decades. Texas A&M-Kings-ville (formerly Texas A&I) joined in 1954, followed by Angelo State in 1968 and Abilene Christian in 1973.

Conference membership remained within the Texas borders until 1984 when Eastern New Mexi-co was admitted. Since then, the LSC has grown to include members from Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Central Oklahoma (1987) and Cameron (1988, 1996) were the next additions in the LSC’s expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (1989) and previous members West Texas A&M (1986, 1993) and Tarleton State (1968, 1994) joined the league soon after.

Midwestern State was admitted early in 1995, and the league grew again later that year with the acceptance of four more Oklahoma schools - East Central, Northeastern State, Southeastern Okla-homa and Southwestern Oklahoma - along with Harding and Ouachita Baptist from Arkansas.

That brought the league membership to 17, but Harding and OBU departed the conference after the 1999-2000 academic year, while UIW was added in 2010 to bring about the LSC’s current look.

Other past members of the LSC include Trin-ity, Houston, Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State and McMurry.

Beginning with the 1997-98 academic year, the league was formed into two divisions - North and South - in football, volleyball, basketball, base-ball and softball. Divisional champions are crowned according to results among division teams, with an overall league champion also being decided either by crossover games or a postseason championship tournament. Volleyball and baseball returned to playing without divisions in 2007-08, making this the fourth straight year for division play to be uti-lized in only football, basketball and softball.

While the LSC has maintained a long-stand-ing tradition of competitive athletic programs for its members, many teams and individuals have gone on to distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 2010-11, LSC member institutions have collected more than 100 team national cham-pionships, including 72 in NCAA Division II. An-gelo State provided the most recent addition to that total, claiming the women’s track and field champi-onship this past spring.

The LSC conducts conference championships in 16 sports (eight men and eight women). Men’s championships include football, soccer, cross coun-try, basketball, baseball, track and field, tennis and golf. Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, softball, track and field, tennis and golf.

The conference office is located in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Stan Wagnon serves as Commissioner, with assistance from Jay Poerner (Compliance) and Melanie Robotham (Media Relations).

East Texas State 54, Central oklahoma 0

The Lions hosted their first-ever playoff game at Memorial Stadium and shocked the nation with a 54-0 blowout of top-ranked Central Oklahoma (who would later become a Lone Star Conference member). The Lions scored on their first possession and rolled up 21 first-half points on their way to the NAIA championship game. ET collected 519 yards of total offense in a game that saw eight NAIA playoff records broken or tied. Lion tailback Kenneth Parks scored three touchdowns and rushed for 246 yards on 31 carries, both playoff records. The Lion defense rose to the occasion, stopping the Bronchos both times they got inside of the ET20.

The East Texas State Lions claimed their first official national football championship with a come-from-behind 21-18 victory over Carson-Newman at Memorial Stadium. The Lions took advantage of nine Eagle turnovers, including two which set up ET scores. Kenneth Parks carried the football a record 49 times on his way to winning the Outstanding Back award. He scored the game-winning touchdown with 8:17 to go in the fourth. The Lion defense kept Carson-Newman down most of the game, allowing the Eagles only one possession inside of Lion territory that didn’t end up in a score. The game was played in a misty rain in 40 degree temperatures before a crowd of 4,539.

East Texas State 27, Central Arkansas 21

The East Texas State Lions, entering the playoffs as the number eight seed, once again knocked off the number one team in the opening round of the NAIA playoffs, as they upset Central Arkansas 27-21 in Conway. The Lions jumped out to a 21-7 second-quarter lead, only to have the heavily-favored Bears tie the score in the fourth quarter. But led by Wade Wilson, the Lions took advantage of a short UCA punt to come back and Cary Noiel burst in from five yards out to give the Lions another postseason victory. UCA was in Lion territory only twice in the second half––once when they got the ball at the ET34 on a fumble recovery (later ET intercepts), and once when the Bears hit the game tying touchdown pass from the ET49.

East Texas State 33, Tennessee Tech 0

East Texas State wasted little time in pouncing on the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles to claim their first-ever postseason victory with a 33-0 shutout in the seventh annual Tangerine Bowl. A capacity crowd of 12,340 watched the Lions score on their second and third posessions en route to their 19th straight win. Marvin Brown ran away with the most valuable player trophy and Lion quarterback Jim Gray threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns. The defense was impressive as well, holding the Eagles twice inside the Lion 12 yard line.

East Texas State 7, Arkansas State 7

The nation’s longest winning streak stopped at 29 as Coach “Catfish” Smith’s Lions could only manage a tie against the underdog Arkansas State Indians before a record crowd of 12,976 in the eighth annual Tangerine Bowl. The Lions turned the ball over five times, including a fumble inside their own 25 that set up the Indians’ only score. An off-side penalty cost the Lions a score in the third quarter, but Billy Ray Norris’ 25-yard TD run capped a nine-play, 61-yard scoring drive on their next possession. Another turnover almost cost the Lions the game. ASU intercepted a Gray pass at the Indian 25 late in the game but fumbled the ball at the Lion 45.

The Lions’ Neal Hinson kicked just one field goal during the entire 1957 season and it came at just the right time. His 31-yarder midway through the fourth quarter gave the underdog Lions a 10-9 Tangerine Bowl win over Southern Mississippi on New Year’s Night. The Lions were the only Texas four-year college to win a bowl game that season. The gritty Lion defense held USM scoreless four times inside the ET10, twice at the one. Coach J.V. Sikes used only 19 players to collect the victory as end Norm Roberts was named the MVP.

The Lions totally dominated Missouri Valley, taking an easy 26-7 win to chalk up their second Tangerine Bowl win in less than a year. Missouri Valley led the nation with 449.6 yards per game rushing but was held to just 154 by the stingy LIon defense. “Stumblin” Sam McCord was named the game’s MVP with his 69 yards rushing, and 111 yards passing.

Elon College 14, East Texas State 6

It was a first for East Texas State as the Lions lost for the first time in the postseason, literally giving Elon College a 14-6 decision. ET turned the ball over seven times (four interceptions and three fumbles) while holding Elon to under 140 yards of total offense and just nine yards passing. ET miscues led to both Fighting Christian scores. The return of an intercepted pass by Charles Womack was the first TD and the break away score came the first play after the Lions roughed the Elon punter in the fourth quarter. ET’s only score came when Wade Wilson hit Ron Trammell in the third quarter. Give credit to the Christian’s defense, holding the Lions twice inside the 20, and stalling ET’s final drive at the EC4 with :24 left.

It was the first NCAA Division II playoff action for the Lions, who played before 3,103 fans in the stands and a live television audience in Grand Rapids and satellite TV back to Texas. While GVSU grabbed the early lead, the Lions came back with an impressive 13-play, 83-yard drive to take a lead they would not relinquish.

Eight turnovers(five interceptions, three fumbles) that led to easy PSU touchdowns and several missed scoring op-portunities doomed the Lions. Receiver Gary Compton scored three of the Lion touchdowns, catching and running for scores, and recovering an ET fumble in the end zone. The Lions trailed, 39-14, at half, but pulled within 11, 39-28 in the third. Turnovers opened the flood gates as the Gorillas scored 21 unanswered points.

1991 NCAA DIVISIoN II QUArTErFINALNovember 30, 1991 • Pittsburg, Kan.Pittsburg State 38, East Texas State 28

The Lions and Gorillas, who had already met during the season, squared off in the quarterfi-nals for the second straight year. PSU,which saw it’s 56-game win streak snapped by the Lions back in September, won 38-28 on their way to the national championship. The Lions, who literally beat themselves with nine turnovers, spotted the Gorillas 31 points in the first 15:05 of the game. A pair of touchdown passes and two TD runs pulled the Lions back to 31-28 in the third quarter. But turnovers struck again, killing three more drives.

Portland State 56, East Texas State 35

Portland State took advantage of a pair of Lion turnovers to post 21 straight second-quarter points and held off a late Lion charge to take a 56-35 playoff win. The Lions trailed, 41-14, in the third quarter before posting three touchdowns in a six-minute span to pull within a touchdown. The Vikings responded with two late scores, however, and the Lion comeback fell short.

The Lions have had 16 different head football coaches through the years. The first was actually a player-coach, Marion “Doc” Mayo in 1914. Ironically, he was a son of Professor W. L. Mayo, the founder and president of “East Texas Normal College” and the man who banned intercollegiate football from the campus. The 1914 season was an “outlaw” year for the Lions; but by 1915 “Doc” Mayo had convinced his father that football should be added to the extracurricular activities. M. A. “Catfish” Smith, who coached the Lions from 1951 to 1953 has the best percentage, winning 92 percent of his games (30-2-1), including two appearances in the Tangerine Bowl in ’52 and ’53.
