How hot will it be on that turf.... All the water they save is going to have to go back into the guy on the field from it being so HOT.... O well atleast it will be green all year round!!!!

Well its good McMurry will now be able to give money out to these kids.  I don;t know how much it will be to start but who knows.  Its going to be hard to change conferences after being in the ASC for awhile.  You will have to get new rivals. 

To be honest I think its dumb, your football team might not ever win a game again, basketball and baseball will have a hard time for the first few years.  And for the other sports at MCM like Soccer god help their souls.......

Well McMurry had it's first ever Alum game October 9th.  Well it wasn't a suprise for the Alums that we won 12-9.  But the current MCM players were suprised.  The 2011 team is young and has tons of talent, hope they have a great season and best of luck to them. 

This year and last was my first and second year to watch my cousin play in the ASC East side for the Comets.  It's great to get around baseball again and for the spring to come back and see more baseball.  I am looking forward to the 25th and 26th of Feb., to see MCM play UTD.  Can't wait for an awesome and exciting season for ASC baseball!!!

So Jake Mullins is the Qb for the U (since were the only school with out a mascot)  He is looking good and I have talked to him and he is excited about football, but more excited about baseball season.

Anyone know how the teams should stack up?  I know were only a month into the school year, and I have to say on of my family members goes to UTD now.  Hope he and his team come out on top over there in the uncompetative east side of the ASC.

Top 8 6-5 UTT

I predict a UT Tyler sweep this weekend.  I know Vilade is really geared up for this series and the Patriots have the best pitching.  I keep saying there is something about the pitching coach, it is not just recruiting.  It is the way they prepare.  It is the way the games are called.  It is the way adjustments are made throughout the game.  The staff has a freaking 1 ERA.  Not even close.

Well I will take MCM in two of three....haha well they won tonight and my prediction now is kinda steping out o a limb....I don't know who will be starting for McM in the 7 inning game.  I think Martin would be the best bet with his back ground out of the bullpen.

(Is Johnston hurt?).

That's probably all for tonight guys. I'll try to get the other half up tomorrow evening. Sorry to leave you hanging.

JSG

Johnston is no longer with the Indians....due to issues that have been kept within the team and the team only as far as I know and I have very good inside sources.

I know this as well as me and Indian4life are good friends and we have an inside track with McM.  Johnston terminated himself from the baseball team.... You got any good rankings yet JSG?  I would like to see where UTT stands with there RPI as well as the ASC west

More importantly, I thank his son for his service to our Country.
Let's keep this a fun board where we talk about baseball, the teams and the competition.  To start getting personal and think it is okay...No Thanks!
I hope Ralph and Pat can help us on this one, if we cannot work it out on our own.

I will have to agree with you completely on all of this especially the thanking his son he does things that not many people are willing to do and for that I am truly thankful....

But now on to baseball...after a good weekend out of both UTT and the Indians....should be an interesting weekend!!!! My take is going to be of course McM 2 games to 1

Keys for McM to win:
1. Starting Pitching: This one of the major issues that i think they will have to face is consistency.  Curry has been up and down in his three starts and he will need to set the tone this weekend, Smith is throwing better as the year goes all though the year is still very young, and Martin seems to be fitting into the starting role quite nice.

2. Defense: McM has been a little suspect with a few games with more than three errors, and you cannot do that and beat a good team like UTT, because they will take advantage of mistakes.

3. Get to UTT early:  I do not know what their bullpen looks like this year but I do know that in the past if you got past their starters the layers in their bullpen were very thin.

I do not have very good intel on UTT, but I do know this...Both teams will hit both teams will hit both teams will hit!!!!!!!!  I think that these games will be won on the bump and i would predict that whoever has better starting pitching wins the series (I know this is kinda general but here its true). 

Starting Pitching: Advantage UTT
Hitting: Its a virtual tie but I am going with the Indians for two reasons (Home Field, and UTT's history at Driggers Field)
Bullpen: Advantage Indians
Defense: Advantage UTT
Coaching: I will say advantage Indians because of the one the only John "The Legend" Byington, but both coaches are very very very good baseball men

All in all it should be a great series..I am so upset i have to miss it due to work...best of luck to both teams and safe driving you UTT fans and I hope you have a long drive home.

Byno is a legend and a great coach....Hitting two walk off home runs against Texas in the same day thats big time...

I have a feeling that UTT will take 2 of 3 from McM.. Joe Towns is back who i thoguth graduated last May but I might be work...and Kendall Fox are the two guys for me who stick out.  Towns can hit for power and Fox just gets on base I dont know how he did it in high school too. 

The thing McM needs for them to take the series is for Cody Curry to throw one of the best games of the season...he has had problems this year but fought out of it and threw decent against Ozarks.  If he throws well and keeps UTT off balance and mixes his pitches up and gets them to roll over, the first game could go to Curry and the McM's or as I know them as the damn Indians.  Which if happens and Curry does do this i will then take McM 2 of 3,

Also for this series you need to take the weather into fact.  If i can remember the last two times UTT came to down the wind was blowing in steady from right.  So who knows how this will fare for both teams...it could be sleeting and 30 degrees or Hot windy and 95 (I havent looked at the weather since writing this so yah)

McMurry sweeps UOz, 5-1 and 9-4.

Well McM did do better then I first thought, I took 2 of 3 but they got the sweep.  I know that McM does have alot of youth and are playing like jr's and sr's.  In that we will see how they can handle there home schedule this season playing a good portion of there games this weekend...on that part of youth Mullins and Thompson are playing at a very high level right now.  We will see how that plays out for McM as they get closer to ASC West Play. 

well indian4atwinkie i will take mcm 2 of 3 as well....seeing that Curry had a good outing this last weekend and D. Smith threw really well..... also to see the lead off hitter Morris get on more...

Does TLU have any guys left from the three time ASC championship teams?

Also MCM travels to Ozarks this weekend anyone heard anything about Ozarks.  Last year they had a good team and from what I remember a young team as well....anyone have anything on Ozarks and the outcome of the series in Arkansas?

MCM 4 Whitter 2 Top 8

Whitter 2 MCM 0 bottom 3

I noticed that when one division plays another division, the games do not count as conference games.  Is this correct?

Yes, this is the way that the baseball coaches have voted.  (Those games do count as "West In-Region games", which determine seeding in the Regional Tourney and the Pool C bids.)

The 2008 Chair of National D3 Baseball Selection Committee was former McMurry head coach Lee Driggers.

Coach Driggers knew how to construct a schedule.  He played the Chapman's and the best schools in the West Region from the NWC, the SCIAC and the SCAC.  Those are in-region games were valuable when you look at OWP (Opponent's Winning Percentage) and OOWP (Opponent's Opponent's Winning Percentage)

I give Coach Driggers the credit in the pushing this vote thru!

I am happy that this is the situation.  I think that the baseball coaches use their non-divisional games most effectively of the ASC sports.

I think there are some teams out there that make the schedule too easy so that they can make it into the Regional with a good record  but not play anyone like UTD did in 2005.  Some teams need to get better thats why MCM is good when it comes time to playing in ASC west play

How did umhb do the weekend?
