The War Hawks have a very difficult road ahead of them for this season. First, they have 5 road games that are a gauntlet of teams. The team will be pushed to the test. Plus, they will have to win a lot of games in the season to even have a chance at a home game in the LSC playoffs. The War Hawks have probably the worst road schedule in the LSC.

Opening up at FCS Houston Baptist, in their new stadium, should be a great atmosphere for our team. The LSC is going to be very competitive, whoever wins this is going to really earn it. This conference has always been one of the best in the nation, this year will be no different.

Thoughts on the Upcoming Season:

I think this will be a hard season for the War Hawks. The team will need to develop early on both sides of the ball fast, in order to have a chance. Plus, have some luck roll their way. McMurry struggled last season with their LSC foes and I expect the same this season. I think that it will be a difficult task to get back to their 3-8 season. The least difficult foe is an undeveloped Houston Baptist team and they play them at Houston in week 1. Can this team get their team chemistry together early and pull some upsets? Can they be a big foe in the LSC? Will they do better than 3-8?


My condolences to the family, friends, McMurry Athletic Family and Football Team with the passing of Running Back Billy Cole III in a tragic automobile accident. I have put his picture in this blog post in illustration of his memory.
