mhb8904 & Bill,

Well put... ditto for me.

GO UMHB! -> One game at a time... and then the playoffs!

Ralph, thanks for the e-mail, it was very helpfull. It didn't make any decisions for me, but it did help start me thinking on the right track.

If both teams win out I don't see how you could keep UMHB out of the playoffs. Both teams definitely deserve to be in the playoffs. Strange things have happened in the ASC before though (2003 1 point )

All HSU fans out there... i want to say good luck on the rest of the season but i also want to say i hope McMurry gets a win because we all know how hard it is to beat the same team twice in one season.

Ya it would be nice because that would give UMHB the conference if they win out, but im more worried about both teams winning out and playing again in the post season. I know for a fact i would not want to play a team like HSU again this year. But good luck...

onall, okay so McM threw two pics at the end of the game that year but HSU had 14 points before they even happend. So yeah after HSU was up 14-6 ya'll beat yourselves but HSU still won that game and the conference that year. So the streak still lives 15 years and counting so until then onall dream on.

If HSU and UMHB win out I would think that the NCAA would have UMHB and HSU play in the first round. If both teams win out that would put UMHB at HSU again just because of the fact that HSU won conference, and that would take away any chance at UMHB playing at home I would think.

You are absolutely right. I wasn't implying anything other than the fact that McM (offense) didn't come through that day. I played in that game and win or lose, we had a good defensive day. Good luck this weekend. I hope the Tribe can throw another curve ball at the ASC.

TXCowboy · October 26, 2005, 02:15:33 PM

I too played in that game and the defense was very effective I have to tell you that if was very frustrating playing in that game and not putting up the points that HSU is used to. It was an ugly game for both teams and I am sure that this weekend is going to be nothing less than a war considering the two teams history.

Bill McCabe · October 26, 2005, 02:22:48 PM

I would be absolutely shocked if UMHB and HSU played in the first round against each other.

I know I have not posted in awhile since my relocation to Abilene. But just wanted to remind all Indian fans attending this weekend's game against HSU to attend the Tailgate party prior to the Game. It starts at 6:30, cost is $3.00 per person. Come and have some fun, eat , visit, and get marooned!!!!

I am looking for a fun, entertaining game.

The NCAA doesn't match up conference foes in the first round. The only way I could see that possibly happening is if Trinity didn't get in, then the AA would claim it was in their best financial interest to do so.

CwbyFann · October 26, 2005, 02:36:47 PM

Bill, don't be shocked it would'nt be the first time the NCAA pulled something like that. However, I do agree that it would be unlikely.

TXCowboy · October 26, 2005, 03:36:53 PM

The AA has pulled some wierd stunts back in the day, I remember when HSU won conference and was put in the north region to play wittenberg.

Bill McCabe · October 26, 2005, 03:39:11 PM

Ron, About the only way Trinity doesn't get in is if they disband the team in the next 2 weeks!

Ron Boerger · October 26, 2005, 04:20:34 PM

Stranger things have happened ... and TU has lost at Rhodes in recent memory (2003, to be exact). The Lynx' defense is pretty doughty and they love to play spoiler.

If TU loses, and Huntingdon doesn't get in, they'll be on the Pool C bubble, assuming DePauw wins both remaining SCAC contests to get the AQ. No wins against playoff selectees or regionally ranked teams makes one loss risky - just ask UMHB who got left at home a couple of years ago under similar circumstances.
