its a shame the schedule wouldnt allow for a make up game but thats the way things worked out. should be interesting to see how the selection commitee deals out the post season.

it is my understanding that the reason the umhb did not make the trip to pineville was because hurricane rita would have created difficulty in the return trip. i think the administrators didnt want to have a team on the road in the path of a hurricane especially considering the results of katrina. purely a safety issue.

ac still managed to host soccer and volleyball that same weekend. their refusal to host hsu alos caused the cancellation of umhb/mcm. as i said in an earlier post, that may have been fortunate, but at the time i was a player and hated missing a game for "shady" reasons.

its entirely possible that a cancelled, non rescheduled conference game could be beneficial for umhb in the event that they finish the season with 1 loss. in '01 the umhb/mcm game was cancelled due to 9/11 and the fact that umhb did not play a poor mcm team helped their power ranking and lent to umhb's first pool-c playoff bid. as a former crusader i hope that the cru can finish 9-0, but a cancelled game does not mean the end of the playoff hunt even with one loss.
