FB: American Southwest Conference

Cwby Fann, I like Jones at RB! He had a great performance! He may be the key to the post-season. Hinojoza is probably a solid QB who probably needs "not to lose" the game. He has enough talent around it that he can direct the game. I get the same feeling about Padron and Welch, good solid QB's who won't beat themselves.

I use those models as opposed to the teams with strong QB's like TLU's Salinas, HPU's Johnson, McM's Sellers, LaCollege's Cooper, SRSU's Davidson or even Trinity's Roy Hampton from the Stagg Bowl season in 2002 or Linfield's Brett Elliott.

QuoteHPU proved last week that they have passed TLU as the 3rd best team in the conference.

And Proud, we were that close to beating them at Homecoming!!!

Hey Ralph and just think about it, we beat ETBU all over the field and were one kickoff return for a touchdown away from being tied for first place right now. HPU is playing great and should end the season at 7-3. Definitely a lot higher than most people outside the HPU program thought. The coaching staff and the players have all done great this year to not make it just a rebuilding year.

HPU looks good. I'm glad HSU has already put them away.

Jusy AC and TLU left...HSU automatic bid!

cruprez · October 31, 2005, 06:34:56 PM

yea, HSU can thank "Mother Nature" for their automatic bid, if they finish out with wins.

Hey cruprez,

Keeping cheering the Pruple CRUsh on to win after win... I will be in Texas the last weekend of Nov. and the first weekend of Dec. I would love to take in a UMHB playoff game... wherever they might be playing!

cruprez,

I think it's thanks to Howard Payne and then mother nature for HSU's good fortune. Without Howard Payne "Mother Nature" has no effect.

ccowboyz1 · October 31, 2005, 07:20:12 PM

Congratulations Cowboys. Huge win Saturday night. I really had some concerns about how the Cowboys would respond after the loss to UMHB and playing against an outstanding QB in a rival game. Sellers put on quite a show. He is very talented and seems to run with reckless abandon. The Cowboys need to focus on Austin College and then TLU and everything else will take care of itself. Cowboys.....get a Roo!

cruprez · October 31, 2005, 07:41:34 PM

ah, yes, ccowboyz1, you are correct....it was both...but the HSU cowboys need to remember Mother Nature is their saving grace...this time! Go CRU....

cruprez · October 31, 2005, 07:43:45 PM

UMHBalum-n-Catland ---we will make it a date....see you then and we will treat to some good ole Texas Bar-b-que...

ccowboyz1 · October 31, 2005, 09:05:00 PM

cruprez,

Maybe you're right. But looking at it that way, then UMHB needs to realize that Hardin Simmons is their "saving grace" for beating HPU.

Weak Safety · October 31, 2005, 10:51:57 PM

Wonder who would win.........Howard Payne or Mother Nature?

TXCowboy · October 31, 2005, 11:57:03 PM

UMBH did beat HSU, okay we get the point but don't get to confident because if UMHB and HSU play again it will be a war. If that scenario does happen I can't even fathom the hype that game would have. So good luck this week to UMHB and to HSU, Git-R-Done!!!

If we get a UMHB-HSU rematch, it will likely occur over Thanksgiving.

12 noon, Saturday November 26th, at the higher seed's field.

That would likely be Belton, which would be good for HSU because neither team can win on its own home field. (I think it's in the rule book. . . a 2002 amendment)
