Alex and Jacks recap the entire season, going over stats and games that stood out. We will also give our own personal awards to the team based solely on personal preference for things like MVP, Best Hair, Bench Cellys, and more! Join us live & always remember to #AxeEm #Jacks w/ Alex and Jacks! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Since we didn't get into the BIG dance, we were invited to participate in the CBI Tourney in Florida. Jacks traveled there to play UNC Asheville. It wasn't our best game and Flo Sports is a joke. Let's talk about it. The next episode will be the season finale and recap. #AxeEm Shout out to the ladies for representing us so well in the BIG DANCE. North Carolina teams just had our # this year in post-season play. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

6 days in Vegas, what a trip! We had a great time experiencing our first WACVegas minus the L. In this episode, we will talk about the game and our adventures in Sin City. Shout out to the ladies for claiming the WAC Tourney Title and moving on to the Big Dance. #AxeEm #WACVegas --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Jacks took the lead at :34 seconds in and never looked back. They went on to win by 30 pts and with that W a piece of the regular season championship along with NM State and Seattle. After starting off WAC at 4-4, winning a regular-season conference title seemed far off but after winning 10 straight games, HERE WE ARE! What a wild run! Now, on to WACVegas as the 3 seed. #AxeEm #PressU #CoChamps --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Some call it a stunner, some say it was expected. We say -- just another day at the office for SFA. Jacks went to NM State and battled with the Aggies for 40 min of high-intensity, physical basketball. And just as the last few games have ended---FT and last-minute shots. DRAMA. Just like we like it. Kinda. #BreakingHomeWinStreaks #BreakingHearts #JustNotOursForOnce --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

For this special edition of PMA, we are excited to chat with Head Baseball Coach at SFA, Johnny Cardenas!!! Johnny has been the skipper at SFA for 14 years but has been with the program since 2005. We chatted about all things SFA Baseball, from where he got his nickname (Big Queso) to Hunter Dozier and the COVID year to what the definition of SOMOS is. Coach Cardenas is dedicated to the development of his team on and off the field, really stressing the importance of recruiting solid men FIRST and talent second. Enjoy! #AxeEm #SOMOS --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

The final home game in the Sawmill saw the Wildcats of ACU try to snap out 7 game winning streak. The thrilling win game was capped off by a final send-off to our Seniors (some of the 2nd time) and the message that WE ARE NOT DONE YET. Today we are joined by a special guest, Antonio Bostic, the current Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at ACU. At SFA, he played under former head coach Danny Kaspar and current ACU Head Coach, Brette Tanner, who was an assistant coach at SFA. During his three seasons as a Lumberjack, Bostic earned first-team all-Southland Conference honors as a junior in 2011-12 and second-team all-conference honors as a senior in 2012-13. He averaged 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.2 steals per game for a Lumberjack team that was 65-28 in his three seasons. As a senior, he led SFA to a 27-5 record, regular-season league title, and a spot in the NIT. He finished his career with 64 consecutive starts and ranked eighth in program history in steals (184). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

2nd to last home game in the Sawmill for the Lumberjacks and of course playing against our dreaded rival to the south made for an exciting game. The days of SHSU being in the same conference as the Jacks are numbered so beating them at home was pretty sweet. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Jacks traveled down to Beaumont for a battle with the Cardinals on their court. As always, Lamar gives us their BEST game and we fight to stay alive. Thankfully, Derrick Tezeno showed up BIG TIME, and we got the W. #AxedEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

I mean it just makes sense to do a double episode so here we are! Not much to discuss since both games were pretty standard...MINUS A MONSTER DUNK FROM DERRICK TEZENO ON WEDNESDAY!!! #AxedEmBoth The double episode features both games vs Chicago State, one away and the one at home. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Soon to be Utah Tech, Dixie State came into the Sawmill looking to upset the Jacks in their first meeting. SORRY CHARLIES...We are on a roll and *hopefully* not stopping anytime soon. Another dub and that makes it 3 in a row! Watch out WAC VEGAS, here we come! #AxedEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Jacks welcome Utah Valley to the Sawmill for the first time! Much like the GCU game, we totally smothered them in the 2nd half. WHAT A WIN. BIG ONE. YUGE. #AxedEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Lumberjacks came into this game off a loss to Seattle and they were looking for a comeback. THEY GOT IT. An absolute dog fight in that 2nd half ended up with us winning 81-77. Back to Nac they go, with some juice and momentum under their belt... HOPEFULLY. #AxedEm Up next Utah Valley on Thursday @ 6:30 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Jacks traveled to Seattle U, our furthest opponent of the season so far and one of our new WAC compadres. It was a totally winnable game but our theme of the season is just to shoot ourselves in the foot with easily winnable games. On to the next.... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

The Minister of Culture, Shawn Clynch, joins us tonight on PMA. We discuss the weekend of fun-filled events and break down the game. This guy is a GEM and if you close your eyes, he *almost* sounds like Matthew McConaughey. #AlrightAlrightAlright #Almost #AxedEm #Kinda #NotReally #EffingTeddyBuckets We may not win every game, but dammit if we don't win every tailgate. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

After that horrendous game in Bearkat land on Saturday, we needed a win. WE NEEDED IT. Lamar always plays us hard no matter what their season looks like on the standings, and thankfully we fought HARD and squeaked out with the dub. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

We want to chunk this game into the dark abyss of space, but first Alex & Jacks use this time as therapy and get it allllll out. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

FINALLY, the Jacks are home in the Sawmill and we are so so happy! We welcomed the Vaqueros from UTRGV to Nac and they brought the competition! Got the W but had to fight for this one! #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Had the game. Lost it. Too many turnovers and fouls. The End. #Distraught Gotta move on. Gotta RISE ABOVE. Gotta believe. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Finally, WAC Conference play is here! Jacks travel to Abilene to play the Wildcats and played another CLOSE game! Night Hawk and Trell kept us in that game. BLESS THEM! Listen now to the recap. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

You've listened to us talk about it for months. We FINALLY got our lives in order and with a little (A LOT) of help from Derryl from CBU, IT IS HERE! We have contributors from each school and state that gave us their favorite locations to eat and drink in each of the college towns around the WAC.

We had an amazing weekend in Lawrence, Kansas!!! Never thought we would say those words, but it's true! Even with the loss, the game was great, the experience of Allen Fieldhouse aka the Phog was outstanding, and enjoying the town of Lawrence with all our Basketball friends was memorable as hell. We 100% want to go back. Enjoy y'all! Axe Em Jacks w/ Alex and Jacks --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

"It's a trap!" - Admiral Ackbar And a trap it was. A bobby trap. A sand trap. A trap of epic proportions. College basketball is that mistress that you know you shouldn't keep going back to because of the consequences but you do because when it's good... IT'S GOOD. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Alex and Jacks (and a few more fans LOL) traveled to Fort Worth on Saturday to watch the Lumberjacks play Liberty in the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic. Pre-gaming and post-gaming with friends! Came away with a great W vs a really good mid-major team but then our boy Roti got injured, possibly severely.

The Thanksgiving hangover strikes again. Luckily, we played one of our bitter rivals in a nailbiter of a non-con game in our sister city, Natchitoches, Louisiana, and left with the W. #AxeEm Jacks w/Alex and Jacks The next game is at home vs Lincoln University (CA) where NBA Legend Gary Peyton is the head coach of a first-year program out of Oakland. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

After that amazing showing vs Buffalo, we thought we had great momentum going into the Championship game. Not so much. The Billikens had ALLLL the luck. Literally. And that tech on Keller? Just BAD. A & J chat about the game, relive the Duke win since today is the anniversary, and talk about their upcoming plans for the weekend. #AxeEm Jacks w/ Alex and Jacks #PressU --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

FIRE first half. Sluggish 2nd half to barely hold off a resurgence from Buffalo to win by 1 point in the 2nd game of the Cancun Challenge. Alex and Jacks talk about the game and more! #AxeEm #PressU --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

PMA discusses4 SFA vs Middle Tenn. and how this was *almost* a complete game on both sides. We aren't there yet. Hopefully soon! Game 1 of the Cancun Challenge proved to us that this team has the talent they just need to work better together and communicate. #AxeEm Jacks with Alex and Jacks --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Tough L served up by an even tougher Jackrabbits team. Had every opportunity to win the game but just couldn't keep it going. Time to pull ourselves together and move on to the next one on Friday vs Middle Tenn. #AxeEm Jacks w/Alex and Jacks --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Welcome to the highly anticipated Season 3 finale! We had a lot going on lately and had to find time to schedule this interview with Ryan because we wanted y'all to get ALL the WACky info straight from the man himself.  We cover everything you need to know about the upcoming level up from the Southland to the WAC and all the ins and outs leading up to July 1, 2021, the day it becomes official.  It is going to be, in Ryan's words, a bit "clunky" this process. Please be patient with him and the entire department. There are so many moving parts that haven't been ironed out yet BUT our role as fans remains the same: SHOW UP. SUPPORT. JOIN PLF. BUY SEASON TICKETS. WEAR PURPLE. SPREAD THE WEALTH.  Thank you, everyone, for your support these past three seasons of PMA. We love y'all and cannot wait to continue this adventure next season, in the WAC, enjoying a regular season and back to normal.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

WHAT A WILD SEASON IT WAS, Y'ALL! So we had to break it down talk about all the best and worst moments, all the team and individual stats, our personal team awards, and more! It is a LONG one but y'all don't worry we broke it up into multiple segments so if you need to start and stop you will know where you are at!! Relive it all here with PMA! #AxeEm #Jacks #withAlexandJacks **Reminder: we still have a few more episodes planned for this "season" before we take our summer break so don't miss out on those!** --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

God, there is nothing in this world we love more other than going into Huntsville and beating Sam Houston on their own court! It is EVEN SWEETER to win following a hard L vs ACU on Wednesday. IT was the perfect way to end a wild season even though there is no post-season action for us, we are so proud of how this team came together as a family and finished it the way it should be finished= as one and with a W vs our bitter rival. Stick around, we plan on having a few more episodes of PMA before we go on a small break! We will do a season recap, an entire pod dedicated to the WAC w/ a special guest and of course, a few baseball podcasts that we promised to do last year but COVID ruined it. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

ABSOLUTE HEARTBREAK CITY. We feel for the guys, played their hearts out and just kinda fell apart on the execution of the game in the second half. Lost in by a last-second layup at the buzzer. We have ONE more game on the schedule and it's @ good ole Sam Houston State. J & A will be heading down to Prisonville to watch with the Lumberjack faithful. Let's get this last W to send out seniors off on a high note! #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

Another makeup game that realllllly started out not looking good on our end. BUT we clawed back to take the lead at the half and never gave it up again. We needed this comeback W after that double OT loss at Lamar. Listen for the game breakdown, funny moments, our feats of strengths, and of course our grievances from the matchup. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

WELL...THAT STUNK. The Lumberjacks fell on the road to the bottom of the barrel Cardinals in DOUBLE OT and it was the absolute worst. Multiple chances to win the game and just could not get anything to fall into the hoop at the end of the day. We had a nice road trip otherwise, eating some yummy food, hanging with some friends, and watching the Ladyjacks dominate yet another team by 30+ pts. The Jacks are on the road AGAIN on Monday, March 1st in UCA (make up a postponed game from Snowmageddon) and then back home for the final game in the Sawmill in the SLC AND possibly the final home game for a lot of our seniors. Let's give them all the support and BEAT ACU this time... it's a do-or-die matchup. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

It was the last official time in Demon country as SLC opponents! It was a bittersweet and super nostalgic game for both of us. We took home a nice road win back to Nac and also enjoyed some amazing cajun food by the river with a childhood friend of Jaclyn's. #MeatPies & #RoadDubs Tune in for all the hot gossip, our trip details, and our post-game recap! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

What a wild game this one was! While Winter Storm Uri was barreling down on us, the jacks traveled to UNO to take on the Privateers, a game that was already rescheduled due to Covid issues. Technical fouls were flying left and right, players on both sides dropping dimes like hot potatoes, and a video feed that made us feel like we were smack dab in the middle of Christmas shopping season at Walmart because it was so chaotic. Tune in as we talk about it ALL. We've had games canceled and postponed since then due to Winter Storm Uri, that JERK, so now we have only ONE home game left vs ACU in March, and the rest are away games. Jaclyn and Alex are heading to Northwestern on Wednesday to watch our Jacks take on the Demons ONE LAST TIME IN THE SLC. #AxetheDemons --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

You are in luck--two for the price of one Jack Fans!!! Alex and Jacks decided to give you a double-trouble podcast episode with both Texas A&M CC games, the one in CC and then one back at home in Nac at the same time! What a time-saver, right? Both games were W's but both games felt extremely different in their own ways. Hear us talk about all the good and all the bad in this edition of PMA. Coming up this week we have not 1, not 2 but 3 (three) GAMES!!!! One makeup game on Monday @ UNO, then away at UCA then back home on Saturday. Strap in Jack fans, it is going to be a busy week. Pray for traveling grace and safety during this wintery week in the South. #AxeEm #Jacks #PMA --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

It is a tale as old as time. Bitter rivals for almost a century, the Beauty (SFA) and the Beast (SHSU) playing for bragging rights. Who came out on top as the victors? Who do you think?? WE AXED DEM KATS. Winning this game was vital to staying in the top 4 in the conference standing & to potentially set it up for another Regular Season Conference Championship battle depending on how the rest of the season pans out. We still need to travel down to WRJ south (Huntsville) and beat them on their own court. The next game is on Wednesday @ Texas A&M Corpus Christi and they are just coming out of COVID protocols. They always play us hard no matter what so we need to keep this juice flowing into that matchup. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

We sat down (virtually, of course) with Derryl Trujillo, a @wachoopsdigest contributor & @inland_sports Senior Writer covering many of the CBU Lancers teams, and talked a lot about the WAC and us joining this summer! We also talk about our glorious & electrifying win against Sam Houston! He also asked us to talk about all the cool touristy things to do, eat and experience in Nacogdoches when the Lancers & our new competitors come visit for games! Can't wait to chat with him again! #AxeEm #LetsGetWACky --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message

DOUBLE-HEADER DESTRUCTION. Both the LadyJacks and the Lumberjacks got the W vs Lamar! Our Lumberjacks took control early and held it pretty much the entire game and started to put distance between us the Cardinals in the second half and Big Red had no chance to catch up. We really played to our full potential in this game and that gives us hope in the next two games vs the hardest matchups of the season with ACU and SHSU. #AxeEm --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/partinmealex/message
