Re headfirst with both feet -- that was my point, thanks. As was my other point -- I never said it was unreasonable to use that poll. You should complain to someone else about that.

Oh, now I see you've edited your post ... my response to your second point is that really the SID should make that decision, objectively. But failing that, that's where the people receiving the release as editors come in, which is why I made that judgment on our behalf.

Update:  Did a little looking around and it appears to me that Mr. Bowerman is a HSU guy.  Then what I meant to say in my first post is I think he still wants to kick that overtime extra point from 2003 so we can go back and HSU can make the playoffs.

Hey tripled14 you coming to Abilene this weekend?

[Josh Bowerman]

What I meant to say is "why don't you kiss my ass, punk?"

[Bill McCabe]

Looks like UMHB fell to about the right place in the d3 Top 25 poll.  I am surprised that they are one spot ahead of Trinity.

[Norman]

I'll say it again.  TLU will not beat HSU, and will not make any playoffs, this year, next year, the next, or the one after that...

[Ralph Turner]

Bill, IMHO, UMHB lost to a team that has been on national radar screens in the past, HPU back in the Adam King days.

Trinity eked out a 5 point home win over a 3rd year program which has a total record of 8-13.

The average fall seems to be about 8 spots.

Can UMHB run the table?

[Bill McCabe]

Ralph, I see your point.  However, Trinity has a long history of success and is undefeated.  It won't matter anyway until the end of the year.

Yes, tripled14, that is EXACTLY what we want to happen!  Can you arrange it?  

Josh, we love ya man!  Are you going to Homecoming?

Welcome to the club, tripled14...you've got to be thick-skinned around here, but it is all in fun...so, keep on posting!  People just love to catch anyone's little faux paxes!

Branded for Life!

HSU fan...forever!

[Josh Bowerman]

Will be in Texas, but unfortunately not at homecoming, DSC.  Gotta do some work in Houston over the weekend. 

Will still be rooting for the Cowboys, though.  Obviously, a real important game this weekend.  We'll need a strong effort.

[Bill McCabe]

Is ETBU putting together another run like 2 years ago?

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity eked out a 5 point home win over a 3rd year program which has a total record of 8-13.

Ralph, I love you man but that is taking the ASC love just a bit far.  Why not instead say that Trinity, forced to use inexperienced second-string QB in the second half, eked out a five-point home win against a team that had not lost to a Division III opponent in over a year? 

Oh, that's right, this is the ASC board, not the SCAC board.  Sorry.

Josh I thought you were a classless individual then you posted and removed all doubt.  Hey Pat I didn't know we could cuss on this site.  I know that you and Bowerman are tight but that comment he made is rediculous.  By the way I am not associated with ETBU as a fan or any other way.  I just thought it was necessary to take up for an SID who does one hell of a job.  Some people do not know how much work most of the SID's in ASC do on a daily basis.

[Josh Bowerman]

Personal opinion is "No", Bill--but that doesn't mean HSU won't have to play a strong game to get the W, and that ETBU isn't capable of an upset--as is any team, really.  Playing as far down the depth chart as much as HSU has this season concerns me a bit.

In 2003, the Tigers were putting away their opponents with relative ease, for the most part.  This year, it seems to be more of a struggle--at least as evidenced by the difference in final scores between this year and 2003.

Of course, my opinion is that the 2003 game (which I actually saw in person), should never have gone to OT.  2 TDs for HSU were called back on penalties and 2 TOs inside the ETBU 10 didn't help the HSU cause.  Plus, the Cowboys came out of the half rather uninspired that day, and ETBU never quit.  Ergo, the result.  Based upon the way HSU played that second half, I'd say we were fortunate to win that game.

[Josh Bowerman]

Classless, huh?  Don't call me out and then expect an apology.  You won't ever get it.  And given the comments you've directed at me in your first four posts, I might just get more vitriolic (you can go look that up) in the future.  I'm not sure where you get off calling me classless--when, to my knowledge, we've never even met.

And furthermore, at least I sign my real name on my posts, Tripled.  You know where I stand--I don't need to hide behind a moniker.  I don't know who you are, but I certainly don't think I've done anything to deserve you.

For the record, I've only met Pat once--for about 30 seconds (he and Keith were doing the broadcast for the HSU/UW Stout game).  I would  say we're cordial, but not "tight". FYI.
