FB: American Southwest Conference

[used2b]

soles, why would etbu not want to get St. John's or Azusa to heat soaked Marshall? seems strange that they would let this happen. I understand it seems to be standard procedure.

I bet it has to do with both of those kicking in some travel costs to get us to come.  That is not something I think we would ever do with local games available.

etbualum,
---good point. I bet new coach must have raised some money that was not in the budget there. Wonder why the old coach never was accustomed to flying or reaching out this far for games?

The ETBU-SJU game is one of the "games of the week", just because of how special that game is...South Region versus West Region from two respected conferences.

Sul Ross has interviewed four applicants this week.  Look for the Lobos to name a new coach early next week.

Wayne Schroeder has been named the 16th head football coach at Sul Ross State University.

Schroeder, who spent the past 2 seasons as defensive line coach for the Lobo football team, replaces Steve Wright who stepped down from the head coach's position in December. Schroeder helped guide the Lobos to a 10-9 record including an American Southwest Conference mark of 8-9.

Schroeder takes the head coach's job with a coaching career that spans more than 35 years.

A 1969 graduate of Southwest Texas State University-San Marcos in 1969 (kinesiology), Schroeder served as athletic coordinator and head football coach at William B. Travis High School in Austin from 2001-06 where he led the team to a bi-district appearance in 2004.

Prior to his run in Austin, Schroeder served as director of athletics and head football coach at Taylor High School from 1987-2000, leading the team to eight playoff showings.

Schroeder was also head football and boys basketball coach at Granger High School (1972-74). He began his coaching career as head football and basketball coach at Hutto High from 1969-71.

"We had an excellent pool applicants," Whitley said in Monday's announcement. "While the final decision was difficult, we felt that Wayne, with his credentials, will bring a positive and disciplined chemistry to our football program."

"I can't express the gratitude I have for Sul Ross allowing me this tremendous opportunity," Schroeder said. "To be able to walk into a program that Coach Wright has taken to a competitive level and continue to improve on that foundation brings many exciting challenges and I know that we are looking forward to meeting those challenges."

"With continual improvement not just on the field but in the recruiting and retention aspects, we will continue to solidify a growing loyalty between our football program and the Alpine community."

Congrats Mississippi College on leading the ASC in attendance again this year. With 4,732 fans a game, the Choctaws were fifth in the nation.

I have to admit I am a little disappointed in UMHB attendance which fell to 64th in the nation (8th in the ASC out of 9) with 2,412 fans a game. One internesting note is that at Cru away games, the average attendance was 3,090.
