Smile, Bill, you get your wish.

What a pity you apparently now have to be a paid subscriber to read TDT content on-line.

Well crap. I subscribe to keep up with things from home so I don't always think about it. They frequently post full UMHB sports articles that you don't have to subscribe to read.

Here's a quote to summarize:

The Mary Hardin-Baylor coach more or less shot down the Crusaders' newly installed Pistol-formation offense.

"I think you're going to see us in some different formations," Fredenburg said at his weekly news conference Monday morning.

Thanks, Toby. 

I can't blame the TDT for trying to get something for their work, but what all the dead tree media needs is an easy-to-use micropayment system.  The minimum charge to read one article at the TDT is a buck.  I'd pay a few cents, maybe even a quarter, but to go through all the hassle of signing up AND paying a buck to read one story ... not gonna happen.

They're not alone; the Austin-American Statesman just sent an email to its print subscribers with a 'special offer' for its eEdition.  They actually want us to pay even MORE to access it on top of what we're already paying for delivery.  Also not gonna happen.

Wow!  Changing the Offense!  But, not that much of a surprise???  Be interesting to see how the CRU offense performs Sat. against SOU.

I do think the ETBU-MC game will be interesting, as well.

I found it interesting that Coach Fred said, "We're going to stay with the same philosophy that we built our program on. The great thing about the Pistol is that it relates so easily with the I-formation." So, I don't see it so much as a change, but a tweak. We are going to still see the Pistol, I think, as it will give us some depth to changing the method of our attack. I like hearing him also say that Hudson needs to be on the field more. That kid can run the ball and is a great counter to DW.

I didn't realize that Damian Davis had a broken hand and was playing with a cast. We need him healthy and need to get him the ball. LB is a great kid and can sling it; he just needs to have confidence to get it done.

This Killeen Daily article is similar in it's message.

How does everyone like McMurry's chances this week against Texas Southern?

It's actually Texas Lutheran, and i think it will be a good game. McMurry's team this year is the real deal. They have some really out standing defensive players, and some fantastic skill players. They still don't have a great running game, but it is improved. And when Mullen starts throwing the ball around to his big fast receivers, it can get ugly quick.

Not sure how they would do against Texas Southern but they should win by a few touchdowns against Texas Luthern

McM gets Texas Lutheran, not D1 FCS Texas Southern ... but I like their chances against either.

It's easy for the folks from the "other" states to mix up the Texas schools!

Like believing Midwestern State is located somewhere in Iowa?  And here in Pennsylvania, we have both a California University and an Indiana University.

Very quiet on the boards this week.

Driving by the practice fields, I haven't seen any different formations from the Cru. Guess it will be a surprise. Wish I could be there. Middle school tennis tourney in Georgetown...

[Jerry Bawcom]

Me too!  I'm headed to Italy tomorrow for two weeks!!!
Wonder if there is any international team in Italy???

[Jerry Bawcom]

The CRU may have its hands full Saturday; Southern Oregon upset #17 Eastern Oregan last week.  The quarterback put up 425 yards passing; and the defense has 8 sacks this season!
Go CRU, play Wrecking CRU defense and inspired offense!!!
