I doubt that the projected bracket is correct with McMurry heading west. I think that they will have McM and Trinity play and then send that winner to UMHB.

I hope UMHB keeps winning and I can go support them down in Salem.

Then who, in your mind, plays Linfield? And who plays UMHB? And how do you do that without a second flight being required?

If $$ becomes a consideration for the seedings, wouldn't the cheapest thing for the NCAA be for a Trinity-Linfield game, since there's a major airport in San Antonio?  And that would leave UMHB replaying McM.

Not sure major airport is an issue since NCAA usually charters a flight,,,  ever try to book 60 seats on a commercial flight on less than 7 days advance purchase?  I just hope McM doesn't get snubbed because they're leaving DIII.

The NCAA tries to avoid conference rematches in the first round.

McMurry will renovate the Wilford Moore Stadium this off-season.  This is a $2.2 million upgrade.

Construction will begin ASAP.

How will that compare to our upgrade?

It will match the needs of our program with the resources that we have, just like yours.

My thinking is that to get to either McM or UMHB you probably fly into DFW, but then you've got to get to the actual campus, which means another (expensive) flight to Abilene on American Eagle, or a charter bus.  It's probably bus only to UMHB, or is there a decent airport in Waco?  Of course, in a few more minutes, we'll have the answer...

The NCAA flew Hope Women to Brownwood International Airport on a charter back in 2008. 

I think we might get a charter out of ABI to PDX.

Yes, I forgot about Brownwood Intrnational!

Will you be at the game?

[mcmfan]

Guess the flights from Southern California to Texas were cheaper than the ones from Oregon!  Anyone think Redlands has any chance against UMHB?
