Why is UMHB v Westgate not on UMHB's schedule on d3football.com?

Probably because they have no placeholder for a fake school.

probably because the NCAA doesn't count it as a game. It's essentially a scrimmage.

[Ron Boerger]

None of the games against schools lacking NCAA/NAIA affiliation  are listed by design.

Apparently the CRU has their work cut out for them Saturday. According to their Hudl page the Ravens beat HSU 66-0. Right.

That Hudl video was confusing. The score it showed was 66-0 WCU, but the video showed only HSU scoring. Funny. UMHB should have no problem.

Just figured I'd add a link to this morning's press conference article here, especially as it doesn't appear UMHB will be doing a coaches show on the radio this season. Thought he addressed most of the concerns pretty well...now it's about learning from Saturday and using it to move forwards, especially with Whitewater coming up in just over two weeks.

No coach's show is disappointing... HSU, HPU, and ETBU all live stream coach's shows and have video available via their website or YouTube. First no road broadcasts, now no coach's show lol.

We don't list scrimmages.

Agreed on the coaches show. Just because a radio station might not want to put it together doesn't necessarily prevent the school from running that. In fact, I think it's far more common in D2 and D3 for the school to run that via YouTube, as opposed to it being done by a radio station. And on YouTube, there's a good chance it would get even more listeners because people can listen to it on their own time, rather than having to tune in live.

Is that something True to the Cru could host on its website? that would be great if you could carry a live.

[Riley Zayas]

If given the opportunity, it is definitely something we would do. That said, because we are a media outlet that is independent from UMHB (that is necessary because it gives us the ability cover recruiting, something the university can't engage in), the details in arranging that could be tough.

Here is the game writeup from the Tyler paper:  https://tylerpaper.com/sports/texas-college-goes-to-2-0-with-big-win/article_0b393eec-6e40-11ef-b53a-3f23d1f7ee8e.html

The game was called for "lack of sportsmanship" with 5:05 remaining in the fourth quarter.

I'm shocked that the "school" where you're encouraged to complete one course a month by working a couple of hours two days a week, and the "program" you could try out for as long as you brought 20 dollars cash to the field, would have their first "football" game end this way.

Shocked, I tell you.

In all seriousness: If this is how those games are going to go, it should not be played. I would hate for a player to get hurt in something so blatantly ridiculous as this.

If UMHB is smart, they'd bail on this. If they can't, I hope they run the ball on every play, and use every second of the play clock. Fewer plays means fewer injury opportunities.

[CruFrenzy]

As I said before the season I have no interest and will not be tuning in (didn't even consider attending) to the Cru Football season opener for the first time in a very long time.

Honestly I hope Fakegate Christian decides not to show up.

We'd be significantly better off with a bye, considering we have to travel to play the #3 team in the nation next week. Beating a pretend club team 100-0 by way of 3rd qtr forfeit probably does more harm than good to everyone involved, not to mention it's the worst possible perception for any casual fans that plan to go to our home opener... what a joke.
