Get the tires aired up and the oil changed in that Pilot of yours (do you still have that thing?) and get ready to roll, Pilotgirl! Look forward to seeing you at a few of the games, maybe at one or two of the double headers in WRJ or at the WBB HCU game in Houston.

Apparently two of the ETAMU players got at our students at the game lol. Thats the reason for the comments about Kaden.

Not a good look for ETAMU. As a player you need to control your emotions and not engage with the crowd.


Our Purple Haze kids were razzing them pretty good, and maybe the LMB, too.

Good to see an Offensive Lineman (Holly) get recognized. Their hard work is hard to see with the naked eye from the stands but easier to see on film by the coaches.

As an SFA fan/alum who hasnt been this excited about SFA football since Jeremy Moses day, I really like what I see so far...we've definitely been tuning in to watch and plan to attend a couple games this season. The 3 game ticket combo for Homecoming is awesome & we will be there all weekend for that! Looks like Carthel has found the secret sauce, which is difficult during this transfer portal circus.....

Hope all yall are doing well.... #AxeEm

I'm so excited to see you. I've been thinking about you and wondering how things have been with you.


Thanks for the reply and wondering about me!! Ive started my 2nd year as a Coordinator managing 75 staff members in SPED at my district in west Houston. Ive also been on a health journey (I think Ive shared that here) and lost over 130 pounds and have a normal a1c now! The start of the school year, even tho I work over the summer, is always daunting and busy, so Im hopeful things will settle down soon. and I can be back on automatic pilot! Gotta get ready for my travel season of supporting WBB lol #AxeEm

Congrats on the weight loss! And your job too. They're lucky to have you.

Carthel talks a little about facilities at some point in the interview. How good McNeese facilities are.

I talked to McBroom at the social event at L'Auberge Du Lac. It sounded to me like, they (SFA Athletic Department) will have architectural drawings and a firmer timeline on the Fieldhouse by February/March 2027.

I would think they are moving dirt by December of 2027 or early 2028. That would be a positive step for SFA.

The stadium should be breaking ground earlier, though, right? So it can be ready by 2028?


Just speculation at this point I'm guessing the fieldhouse will be the first thing finished. Then the stadium renovation.

All just a guess. Although I will say, the last thing that was officially posted (the architectural firm) seems to lean into the idea that things are starting to get real.

I always thought, at least according to the Master Plan document, it was Stadium, then Field House (While both are being worked on)

According to the Master Plan
Stadium Construction Phase is the end of Q1 2027 - Q1 2028
Field House end of Q1 2027 - Q1 2030

(Less time away from our own home stadium, IMO)


Ya. I recall that from the timeline.

McBroom was very specific. Unless my recollection is off, the field house is the first priority now, from a football perspective.


From speaking with athletic department personnel last Saturday, the Field House and Baseball stadium are going to be the first things built, then football stadium. The new field is projected to be ready by earliest the 2028 season but more realistically and at the latest the 2029 season.

The plan for now is to still keep half the stands up in Homer Bryce and play the season during construction there if it's safe to do so. If not, home games will be played at Lufkin HS and/or neutral sites.

Field house, baseball, and softball have been first priority. Tennis may actually come first since it has to move for baseball. Football fits in there somewhere. One possibility is that Lufkin plays at SFA in 2027, and SFA plays at the new Lufkin stadium in 2028. Money can be a factor in timing.
