well after last year as a player I have learned to take it one week at a time. You cant get the cart before the horse.

Minni-

We have never been asked to move back. We always stay about 5 yards from the back of the endzone. However, this last weekend with Mississippi college visiting the ref actually asked us to quiet down so Miss. could get the play off. At that point we could not use the artificial noise makers until the ball was snapped. I was informed by Coach Fredenburg that they QB must go through a sequence in order for the ref to tell us to quiet down. Also, during the playoffs you are not allowed to have artificial noisemakers, just your hands, voice, and boots. I don't know if UMHB would allow students on the ground for a playoff game. We might be put in the stands behind where the couch cru normally is. However, just b/c we can't have artificial noise makers at the game doesn't stop us from yelling.

I spoke with Coach Speckman a year ago when I was looking for a job. He was straight forward and I respected him for that. I should have taken that job. But no complaints. I am happy where I'm at.

To the Sul Ross fan that just, for the second time in two weeks, attempted to register for the site with the fake e-mail address "sulross@sulross.com":

Please stop.

I thought the registration instructions and terms of service were pretty clear. You have to use a valid e-mail address.

To the rest of the board, sorry for the interruption.

was the last team to beat HSU in conference-- Sul Ross? (Besides UMHB last year)

Josh Bowerman · October 06, 2005, 11:22:36 AM

No. Howard Payne in 2002. 51-48.

Bill McCabe · October 06, 2005, 11:45:35 AM

UMHB beat HSU 43-36 in 2003 in Abilene.

Bill McCabe · October 06, 2005, 11:47:15 AM

Don't underestimate TLU. They were much better than I anticipated against UMHB. Their lines are big and strong. They will be a lot better by the end of the year. Can they beat HSU? Maybe.

It'll be an interesting game if TLU wins out. If memory serves, HSU destroyed them last year under similar circumstances, but that was at home and not in Seguin. Also, should HSU's injury trend continue, it could make a difference. They're deep, but no matter how deep you are you want your best players in there.

Speaking of injuries...

Any update out of Abilene RE: the status of Quentin Jones? Also noticed that Mychal Carrillo isn't on the two-deep. Is he out injured?

Updates always appreciated.

Some bad news for TLU on the injury front, courtesy of the San Antonio Express-News

Texas Lutheran football: Wide receiver Chris Edwards is out for the season with a knee injury, a school official said. Edwards hurt his knee against McMurry two weeks ago.

Also, receiver Coy Schneider is questionable for this week's game at East Texas Baptist. He took a hard hit on a punt return last weekend against Austin College.

That's a lot of hurt for a team that does most of its damage through the air:

RECEIVING GP No. Yds Avg TD Long Avg/G

Jason Trahan    4 16 484 30.2 5 95 121.0
Coy Schneider 4 14 233 16.6 1 35 58.2
Chris Edwards   3 13 161 12.4 0 33 53.7

Q is frustrated, but he will be fine. We spoke today and its just something that is taking longer than he wants it to. We also have Brad Clark, if you havent seen him play I would advise you he wears number 9 and reminds me of a number 9 in recent memories, and also Thurston Ashley, or T-ash whichever you prefer, who clocked around a 4.25 40-yd dash. Throw the wreckin ball they call Q in there and watch out now.

Da' Boys by 50 this weekend. Yep thats right I said it, 50!

Josh Bowerman · October 06, 2005, 02:25:47 PM

I've seen them all play, Brad. Lest you forget, you can check out my photo gallery:

(And order some prints while you're at it. It supports this site)

50 seems like a bit of an overstatement, don't you honestly think? Coach K doesn't really play that way....he'll pull off way before it gets that far out of hand.

I mean, I expect a nice win for HSU, but saying that is not being very humble.

minni · October 06, 2005, 03:06:08 PM

lets not foget we did put 70-something up against them last year and we have hung 80 something up on the board on more than one occassion with Coach K at the helm. You are right coach doesnt play like that but when you put guys in that dont normally play they will do whatever they can to score. Example: Ryan Hinojosa last week diving to score as a QB. The young bucks, as I call them, will do whatever they can to put six on the board. Maybe 50 is an overstatement but it is not out of the picture!

Tlu is definitely suffered a little injury bug at the WR position, if there is a bright spot though is that they are very deep at that position and some of the young freshman will get a chance to step up, great recruiting year for TLU at WR. Concern is with Punt and Kick off returners, not as deep. Tlu is a little weaker (Stats) offensively but have a better defense this year (Stats). Hopefully they can win out and I know it will be a lot closer game in Seguin than it was last year in Abliene.
