Just remember this when Texas Tech and Stephen F. Austin tip-off in their all-Texas showdown in Dallas on Thursday:
One team is the state’s winningest program over the last decade. The other is called the Red Raiders.
Attendance around the Southland tonight:
Nicholls St: 315
Sam Houston St: 946
Northwestern St: 820
New Orleans: 731
Southeastern Louisiana: 744
Stephen F. Austin: 4699
Yikes.
Entering the weekend, there are just two college basketball institutions in the country who can claim an undefeated home record for both their men's and women's teams: Duke and Stephen F. Austin. 🔥
If you can’t see what
@CoachCarthel

An incredible four months of basketball at William R. Johnson Coliseum has come to an end. Here’s to hoping Nacogdoches can fully appreciate what a special show we’ve had between our two teams.

Goodnight, Bearkats. Stephen F. Austin sweeps the double-header as the owner of the only D1 college basketball programs in the country that are BOTH undefeated at home.
More tonight at .
Jeremy Moses is the 🐐 of SFA football, no doubt. Moses shattered NCAA records as well as became the first Lumberjack to win the Walter Payton Award, given to the nations best player. 3 Jeremy Moses days until

@CoachJMoses
In 1995,

#AxeTheGovs
We played hard in a game no one expected us to win, and we were 10 minutes away from winning. We held 2 leads. We forced multiple turnovers. And we played with heart, never giving up. It’s sucks to lose, but if you don’t

The Piney Woods.
It’s where rivals meet. Houses are split. And legends are born.
It’s Moses breaking records
It’s Flanders flipping into the end zone
It’s Carthel vs Keeler
It’s 60 minutes for 365 days
Purple vs Orange
East Texas
A battle rages on in Houston

After much consideration, the SFA Sawmill player of the game is the entire SFA defense, who only allowed 2 field goals and held the West Texas A&M offense out of the end zone in the Lumberjacks home opener!

@CoachCarthel
Literally too many choices for the Sawmill Sports player of the game, but my choice is freshman Jarvis Anderson! The speedy freshman recorded his first career Interception tonight and showed he has a very bright future swinging his Axe!

25 years ago today, SFA packed Homer Bryce Stadium with a crowd of 23000+ for a conference game against McNeese State. With

This may be the only time we ever do this, but good luck to

Just to clarify for everyone concerned, it has already been established and confirmed that there will be no change to the name, mascot, or school colors with the move to the UT system.
After tonight,
@SFA_WBB
and
@SFA_MBB
are joined by just five other colleges in the country where both men's and women's teams are undefeated at home this season. The others: Duke, Florida State, Elon, Morgan State, Arizona State.
Your Sawmill Sports player of the game, Miles Reed! He’s been carrying the Jacks down the field all game and has been instrumental in keeping the Jacks playoff hopes alive tonight! Have yourself a night Miles!

Sawmill Player of the Game:
Brevin Randle flew all over the field for the Lumberjack defense, intercepting a Brady White pass and returning it for a touchdown early on to help keep SFA in the game in the first half!

@BrevinRandle6
The most important thing to remember for everyone is it’s a process with a new coach. This team obviously needed a ton of work when
@CoachCarthel
took over, but this young team has heart. As Lumberjacks, we still need to
#BelieveInTheVision
. Let’s keep chopping.
#AxeEm
Definitely not the outcome we wanted, but this team is growing and getting better. The fight and resiliency in these guys is amazing and I'm proud of them. The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph.
#AxeEm
Lumberjacks, we are proud of the progress you’ve made.
@CoachCarthel
is building something special in Nacogdoches. This team is infinitely better than last year, and is on track to be what we play to be. Champions.

Get to know Junior QB Brian Maurer.
-Transfer from Tennessee.
-Won his first career SEC start against Kentucky.

And the fall season will end with a tough loss for the Lumberjacks, but the Lumberjacks fought hard all season going 6-4! Tremendous growth by the Jacks all year! The rest of the Southland better take notice, the Lumberjacks and

Fun fact, it’s only a 2 hour and 25 minute drive from Nacogdoches to watch the Lumberjacks try and put the final touches on their playoff resume for the 2021 season! Just throwing that out there.

If you're within 100 miles of Nacogdoches, it is your patriotic duty to make your way to William R. Johnson Coliseum before 7:00 p.m. tonight.
That is all.
Oklahoma was the 25th ranked team in the country. Was. But then a group of purple clad Lumberjacks from deep east Texas came into town and chopped them down in Globe Life Park!

Fun Fact: the single player in the Southland Conference with the best assist/turnover ratio since league play started? That would be SFA's Aaron Augustin.
