I know that everyone here loves talking about SRSU, so how does everyone think round 2 between SRSU and TLU will go this Saturday.

HPU 17 - SRSU 14 3rd

  I sure hope your wrong about those Lobos. I think if they stay healthy it will be one hell of a game!

 How long has it been since they went 2-0 to start the season? Seems like they should have a great year as well.

They started the season last year 4-0 to answer your question.

Well I am glad to see that I am out of the doghouse and everyone is getting along.

I agree with everything that both of you are saying and I am sorry about jumping into the fire, but I just think that schools like SRSU have an uneven playing field due to the restriction given by the administration. In HSU and UMHB case coaches are allowed to give their input on who should receive scholarship, and SRSU administration will not allow the coaches to this. I guess you can say that the administration does not think outside of the box when it comes to what would be the best way to get the enrollment up.
Also Ralph, I know you know what you are talking about and sorry about the earlier comment.

So you are telling me that the coaches don't have a say in who receives these scholarship. I think that we both know better then that. Also I do know about all of the Financial aid opportunities available to each student, but that is not my point, my point is that the coaches should not have an influence in who receives scholarships and who does not.

That might be true, but when a kid right out of high school comes into a coach's office and the coach says I have a scholarship for you that will pay for your school. Compared to a coach saying we don't give scholarship so you have to pay for your own school, but it is just $3,000 a semester. What do you think that athlete is going to do? You should know that most students coming out of high school are just looking for some kind of scholarship, even if that means that after they get that scholarship they are still paying more for school then they would at SRSU. The funny thing to me is that the coaches don't really tell the students this; the students have to find out on their own. So I believe that the field is still lopsided, and you are ignorant to think other wise.

I would like to jump into this. You are all talking about the size of the schools, the location, and the winning traditions, but I think there is one more issues that no one has said. What about the cost of the school? I think the big issue is that the two powerhouses of Texas, UMHB and HSU and I am sure many more in DIII are allowed to give Presidential scholarship to their athletes. This is something that I believe plays a big part of success for these schools. When you have a place like SRSU that does not have the money to give these types of scholarships, it makes it hard to recruit the good athletes that cannot afford to go to school. To me it makes the playing field lopsided and I believe that this issue is overlooked.

Things are changing down in Alpine, and this up coming baseball season is looking good for the Lobos. With a few new arms and numerous additions it will be interesting to see how things will go in the spring

Anyone making the trip to Alpine to watch the game?

Zach Gideon recorded six tackles, a fumble recovery, and two sacks good for a loss of 16 yards against the TLU offense.

Go Lobos. 31 - 10
