FB: American Southwest Conference

[wesleydad]

roocru, if you cant be at the game, i cant think of many places better than san diego as your punishment for having to work .

i will be cheering for the cru because it will be fun to have a routing interest at the stagg.  since my team cant be there, it will be nice to cheer for some of our stone station friends' team.  plus, dont want to see a 4peat.

i watched the webcast today and uww was in a fight until the blocked field goal changed things.  they looked slow compared to umhb and i think you will be able to run the ball on them.

To the Cru,

Keep getting better!!  You want your best game to be next week's not this past week's.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to be there next Saturday.  I must work for my company at the NIAAA (national AD's) conference in San Diego next weekend.  I already have my tickets to the Stagg Bowl and would love to watch you guys play one more time. 

Beginning in 1999, it took you four times to beat Trinity!  Focus on next week and make the fourth time the charm for UWW as well.    Check out my signature at the bottom!! 

So glad to hear that you will be wi th us in Salem.  The first year I went to the Stagg Bowl UMHB was there wit h the beautiful Purple and white Santa hats!!  C u soon!!  2 of my favorite teams will play in Belton next week and so I plan on being completely miserable all day.

A break here and a break there, UMHB would be sitting at home like HSU.  UMHB pulled it out!!!

But today, it was obvious....W&J did not give enough respect to UMHB......just look at the final score!!!   

Despite all of the crazy talk by some posters....I'm very happy that UMHB is representing the ASC so well.  As it looks right now, UMHB is clicking on all cylinders and have a darn good chance of winning the whole thing.  I hope they can do it!!!

HA HA....are you refering to this year or the previous 3 years? A break here and a break there....HSU fans never seem to amaze me. LOL Great showin by the Cru today. Keep up the good work guys.

From Eric Drennan's article in the temple-telegram on the W&J-UMHB game

this matchup was as lopsided as a one-man rock fight.

Maybe more so.

SPEED! SPEED! SPEED!  W&J had no answer for the team speed of UMHB.  The d-line was all over the QB.  He was sacked 6 times and knocked down repeatedly.  UMHB ran the option at will the entire game.  Saenz just picked them apart by keeping the ball. 

Good luck this week against UWW.

yessir....apparently you cannot read what I posted.....I gave UMHB all of the credit for beating HSU.....they have had HSU's number for several years now, but it was much, much closer this season....so back off and pay attention to what I wrote.

What UMHB's opening that huge can of w.a. on W&J may show (if not prove) is that the first round UMHB-HSU game was actually at least a quarter-final (if not semi-final) match-up. Hats off to UMHB.

Ralph, et al:

Yes, there will be video next week.

First of all...congrats to the Crusaders for yesterdays dominating performance. It seems that were back to the HSU-UMHB game...and for what ? Look you haven't beaten since when.....yeah I think since 2004...Imean we beat with our third string tailback...cmon Cowboy fans...just because you gave a hell oa game...does not mean you would do the same thing or even beat a Wesley/ W&J. Face it when you beat us then compare ok...until enjoy watching basketball tournaments or get your xmas gifts early since you have all that free time ok. Good luck in basketball The pride of Hardin Simmons University!!!!

I watched as much HSU as UMHB football this year, and I will say that, yes HSU would have beaten both Wesley and W&J.  IS UMHB the better of the two, they have been for the past 6 match ups, but I still am hesitant to say UMHB will win when they play.  Having degrees from both schools, and since I have spent a ton of time at HSU I can say that there is a palpable disdain for Crusader fans, because many frequently act like jerks, and that translates into a real desire to beat the Cru on the field.  Since 04 it hasn't happened, but I'm comfortable saying that it could. 

Make no bones, I am a Cru fan and I wear my Cru gear to class and on campus at HSU with pride.  I want UMHB to win every meeting in every sport, but I'm not so much of a fan that I'm blind to reality.  HSU got jobbed when they drew UMHB in the first round.  No surprise, but jobbed none the less.  As a supporter of the Cru, I was upset, not because of the match up, but because I want the ASC to be viewed as a power conference.  If the ASC is seen as a power conference, it only benefits the Cru, and the way that happens is by conference teams playing teams from other conferences and beating them.  HSU has done a good job of scheduling teams that help with that, but I think that is better shown if HSU gets to play other teams that have shown themselves worthy through the season and beats them.   All playing in round one does is make the ASC start the playoffs with .500 winning percentage, which on paper looks pretty mediocre.

So id HSU done, yes, but that doesn't mean they don't have a beef.  I think they have shown they are the better of the three teams the Cru have played so far, and no one is claiming HSU is better, unlike the BcS it was settled on the field in a game way to close for comfort.

Your an idiot

[cru30]

Cowboy thanx for your kindness (Go get my gift) ....Toby you can't say that HSU is better than Wesley or W&J when you didn't play them so stop...I can't say that we are better than another team based on how the team that we LOST to TWICE decides to blow the other team out ok. Lets focus the the team at hand which is Whitewater ok and not the ONE and DONE Cowboys.

[cru30]

So its not all negative and maybe get me some karma points...good luck on your finals HSU.
