We will have a video steam. HD with veteran announcers. Just waiting on the Turner(NCAA) people to give the approval of rights.

Yeah the feed is horrendous but it is all there was. no sound but they have had near no sound all season which is why I asked during the week. I pulled up jon and coach via audio and watched the well, somewhat of a feed. It was really off on syching, ten minutes after the game was over they were still on the last drive.

Second half was ours outright, now on to Huntingdon...

My feed off the website at D3football.com was very good. I thought the HSU broadcast team did a very good job.

I believe that that was Pickett who was doing the play-by-play. He is enjoyable to hear.

Thanks Ralph. We heard lots of good things about the broadcast. I think DFWCrufan must have had a bad connection or something. We spent the extra money for upgraded quality and had over 3100 unique connections to the broadcast. I was watching it as I could during the game and never saw any lag or buffer. I have watched some of the replay and it looked great for what it is, a one camera set up outside with a 30 MPH wind.

On paper, the #2 seeds might have stronger #1 arms and while depth on the bump is important in the tournament format, winning that first game might be more important in a 4 team double elimination. You definitely don't want to be want to be fighting your way out of the loser's bracket with your #4 against another team's weekend guy, knowing you have to beat them 2x.

I couldn't agree more. No team has ever lost in the first round and come back to win this tournament and only three times has an if game been needed.

First-year provisional Centenary aside, IMHO, the next most "SCAC-acceptable" school in the current ASC is McMurry, but we have charted a different course.

Ralph you know I respect your opinion, so this one I have to hear. What in the profile makes McMurry the next most "SCAC-acceptable" school? Inquiring minds want to know.

Listening to the video; they said that he pop/lined a bunt to the 3rd baseman who made the throw to double up the runner.

That had to be one terrible sequence of baseball. Don't get the bunt down, and get the runner doubled off? Jeez...don't deserve to win.

It was actually a really nice play by the third baseman. It was a bunt that was a low liner, just too hard and the third baseman made a dive and catch right before it hits the ground. Tough situation for the runner he gets a good secondary and takes a step or two toward third. Kind of in no-man's land and then the 3B bounces throws a strike to second. It was a tough decision for the runner to try to go to third. Kid just made a great play on it.

REVISED
1. UT-Tyler               28-4    .875%
2. Linfield                 22-4    .846%
3. Redlands              20-5    .800%
4. Hardin-Simmons   22-9    .710%
5. Pomona-Pitzer      24-10   .705%
6. Trinity                  24-11   .686%
7. George Fox           17-8     .680%
8. LaVerne                21-11   .656%
9. Chapman              15-8     .652%

I am not going to play judge and jury here, but I will point you to http://www.hsuathletics.com/landing/index for the video evidence. Just click on the video player of the McMurry highlights and it is the play that is titled Garrison Hardin with a sack (there are two of those so it is the second one). You can make the video full screen, but it loses some quality.

I will let you decide if Warren was punched. It looks to me like Garrison Hardin comes around from behind and may have hit Warren, but it was not a punch. Maybe I have purple-tinted glasses on, but it just looks like a football play to me. Same thing with the play when Mullin was hurt. He was trying to throw going to the ground and Pat lands on him. Again that is just a football play.

I am not saying dirty things don't happen on the football field, but in my eyes neither play was dirty and like Bill said that would be very un-HSU like. It is not something that HSU or UMHB for that matter are known for. There is a big difference between tough physical football through the whistle and cheap shots.

Like I said, I don't want to be the jury, but I also am not going to let someone take unwarranted pot shots at our players and team without at least letting you decide for yourself.

How big an upset is this!!!!!  No1 team in the country for most of year is out

Not a huge one. For a lot of the year LC, UT-Tyler and ETBU were ranked in the top five in the country. They all play in the same division of the ASC. At one point they were 1-2-3.

At least the infield appears to be all turf and it does have good lights.  This years D2 tournament, the South Central Regional was washed out both Saturday and Sunday.  They apparently received special NCAA approval to extend the tournament through Tuesday.  I would rather see that sort of accommodation made over the "Decided by committee" clause invoked.

Crazy stuff in that regional. Abilene Christian played at 7:30 last night in a game that went 13 innings and over four hours. They turned right around and played another game that STARTED sometime around 12:30 a.m. They finished around 3:30. ACU was in the loser's bracket and they won both games.

They turned around and played Central Missouri and beat them 11-5 in a 2 p.m. game and that forced the if game right after. They started at about 5:30 and finished around 8ish and ACU lost that game.

In a 25-hour period ACU played four games (one that went 13 innings). They ended up on the short end, but I bet they would rather have that experience than the one of sitting and watch it ran for three days and then letting the one seed advance because of a committee. 

Just to clear the SIDs names in this debate, we DO NOT vote in the postseason awards by the ASC. We do vote in the preseason polls, but not the postseason awards.

Are you sure he is the only one? Villegas had a career .428 batting average which if Im not mistaken is the conference career record.

DP643, You are correct my bad. I looked at the ASC career records today and they are updated at the end of each year. I didn't even think about Villegas since he is also a current guy.

I am not disappointed to see Villegas and Arrieta graduate. They are two of the best hitters I have seen in the league since I have been around. Of course there have been others, but those two have worn us out.

One thing I would like to point out on this board that is totally unrelated to this discussion is the career of Regan Dixon. He became the first player in ASC history to have a better than .400 average for his career. He hit .403 in his four years breaking the old mark of Brett Rosen of UTD. Most people don't think of Regan as an average guy but his final career numbers are all HSU records.

Highest batting avg.: (.403)
Highest slugging pct.: (.748)
Highest on base pct.: (.484)
Most home runs: (34)

He was an All-American last year and will probably be again this year.

Sometimes two or more great players play a position. That is part of it.

There is no doubt that Femath is a great player, but Smith's numbers were significantly better than his all the way around. Smith had three more errors 9-6, but he is a freshman. That is not a huge difference.

Same thing in the OF. Villegas, Arrietta and Mullin all had monster years. They are three of the best players in the conference. Nokelby and LeJuan Edwards from HSU had great years and in most years the years they had would have earned them first team honors.

TLU didn't win the West because they had the best players, they won because they were the best team. They pitch, make most of the plays and come up with the key two-out hits. It's the same formula they have been using for years. I was telling someone at the game on Friday they made more miscues in one inning (the 10th against MC) than I had ever seen them make total in my 11 years watching them play HSU.

Some Observations From the ASC Tourney:

• With all due respect to Hardin Simmons they're not at the same level as the other three teams. Save for Berlin & Dixon there's a lot of different ways to get the rest of that lineup out.

With all due respect, every starter had at least one hit in both games and the Cowboys pounded out 26 hits in two games, I don't think HSU's offense was the problem. Throw in the fact that the leadoff hitter (Brian Weeks) and catalyst of the offense played with a broken hand on Friday and couldn't go on Saturday that changes the lineup a ton.

To say they are not on the same level is crazy talk when they lost 5-4 to the champion. [/list]
