Congrats to Trinity's Hagen Kattner for receiving D3's Play of the Week:
http://d3football.com/awards/playoftheweek/2011/week12

And, congratulations to Dr. William Campbell of Victoria, Texas ... Bill is the father of injured Trinity OL Justin Campbell ... Bill filmed the TU-McMurry playoff game and posted a highlight reel on YouTube for all to see. 

I was a little disappointed that the D3Football team clipped out the P-O-T-W play including Bill's super-slo-mo version, added the Salem advertisements, but never credited the author/videographer for his fine camera work.  So, I'm doing it here.  Hope y'all will revise the text on the Week 12 Play-of-the-Week to give my friend, Dr. William Campbell, credit where it's due. 

Not being snippy here, y'all just need to credit folks when you borrow their work. IMHO, that is.

And, yes, that was a terrific catch ... fine extra effort by Kattner to snatch that sure interception from the defender's hands.

Happy Thanksgiving to all D3 Football fans ... and good luck to McMurry and/or UMHB in the coming week(s)!

If I was TU fan, I'd just be happy to play anybody other than UMHB.  That alone is a victory.

Well, Wes, I am a TU fan and, yes, I agree with you. Can't imagine ever WANTING to play the Cru.  The last time TU faced them in 2007, the Cru's defense shut down TU's formidable rushing attack and left the Tigers in their dust.  Salinas and Freeman were impenetrable.  I have my reasons for remembering that part of the game. ;)

Here's wishing the Tigers a victory at E.M. Stevens.  Go Tigers!

Well, well ... TU gets the SCAC automatic bid and DOESN'T get nearby UMHB in the first round! Awesome.

The War Hawks will be a challenge to be sure, but here's hoping the Tigers can have a great week and get an NCAA playoff "W" this season.

Congratulations, Tigers, on a great regular season ... keep it rollin'.

TU intercepts and that should do it!  Whew ... WAY too close.

(Excuse me, but isn't this the third game this year that the Black Flag saved with a last second INT??!?)

Congratulations to the AC 'Roos on a job well done today ... can't believe they were winless and almost took down the TU Tigers today.

CONGRATULATIONS (narrowly) to our Trinity Tigers ... undefeated and the last and final and sole SCAC Football Champions!  NICE WORK, TIGERS.  Better bring your 'A' game for the playoffs, men.

;D

Thanks for the updates ... so frustrating.  TU punts and AC takes over at their own 20 w under 2 minutes.
#6
After two picks in the fourth, looks like Trinity is going 100% with Granchelli ground-and-pound to eat up the clock and preserve the win.  Hope it's enough ...
#7
TU webcast never got off the ground today?!  AC live in-game stats is slow but works.  With 4 minutes remaining, TU has the ball on their own 29 clinging to a 7-6 lead.  Ouch.   :-\

Nice win for the Trinity Tigers today. Defending home field for the last time in the SCAC. Once again, the Black Flag steps it up and makes the stop at the critical moments.  Granchelli carries the rushing load again and two QB's throw TD passes.

Take care of business this week and get the "W" in Sherman next week. Hope the Tigers will get a crack at LC and not UMHB in the playoffs. We're overdue for an NCAA playoff victory, y'all!

Go TU. Get yourselves a ring in 2011 ...  8-)

Thanks for the running commentary, Ron. Glad the Tigers are playing well. LIKE.

Trinity Live Stats here:

Tu leads 24-7 at 8:18 in the 3rd.

Trinity 27, Sewanee 9. Some very big hits by TU Black Flag defenders, especially on Sewanee's pointless attempted 2 point conversion late in the fourth. I'm betting their QB had some choice words for their coach who called that play ... when he regained his senses, that is. :/

Trinity offense was slow to gain momentum, but put up some good numbers after halftime. Granchelli and King rushed well and McKissic ran the team well.

TU defense played tough for 3 out of 4 downs, but gave up some big plays when Sewanee had fourth and long. Big hits were frequent and Darling was all over the ball today.

My first look at this year's edition of the Trinity Tigers and I was pleased to see them back on track for a final SCAC title shot. Too early to claim it, but they're looking good. Go TU!

Haven't been following too closely, but there's an interesting write-up on D3Football.com's Daily Dose blog here:

http://www.d3blogs.com/d3football/2011/06/09/after-the-scac-shuffle-whats-next/

Seems a shame to see a great institution fade away like that ... nice pic of Pat Granchelli (#32) though!! 

Less than a month until Reporting Day ... and the "50 Test"  ;)

Go Tigers.

Congratulations to the Trinity Tigers, especially the seniors, for finishing the season with a convincing win over Austin College in S.A.  Not as close as the score indicates as the Roos score in the closing minutes to bring it to 28-24.  Big thanks to Bob and Bill for bringing the webcast to all of us watching online from home.  Kudos to the Tiger seniors for defending the home turf one last time.  Go Tigers!

Trinity takes the lead 31-24 with just a minute left on a Ben Robinson INT returned 67 yards for a TD.  DPU responds by going down the field in just about 5 plays, scores a TD on a short pass, then goes for TWO.  Pass complete in corner of end zone.  DePauw takes the lead 32-31.  Trinity has 20 seconds, but can't move the ball and DPU wins.

Almost, TU.  Must have been the officials the Indiana Tigers brought down for their last try at EM Stevens.  I guess the home field advantage was just a point short today.

Keep your heads up Trinity ... there's still more games to play.  Very impressive performance against the SCAC champs today.

Go Tigers. Keep the streak alive.

TLU 42, Trinity 0 at the end of the third. Worst I've ever seen since I've been following the Tigers. Couldn't watch another minute. Over and out. Gonna go watch the Longhorns try to beat Bye Week.

Not a good year for football in Texas, y'all.
