FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[umhb2001]

That is too bad!  I am always looking to try and get more pub for UMHB!  We have to fight hard with TTech, UT, and T A&M so close by, but I guess because there are so many towns, the smaller ones, like Temple, and Waco, can carry the D3 game highlights.

[umhb2001]

I don't see as much talk on here as is on the ASC board.  How come?  What do President fans think?  Have y'all faced any top ranked D's this year?  Do you see your self as more of a passing or rushing team?

You guys still mad they brought in Sirriani? Great win.

I don't think anyone is 'mad' regardless of the outcome last week, or this season.   There is an expectation at W&J, like there is at Mount or any other respective program.   It's okay to question if those expectations are being met.   

I think people that are fans/support the college can be upset when they don't win the PAC or lose at home to a #8 seed.  I think they can be thrilled (as I was) when they have the upset they did last week.  Hopefully they can continue it.   Good luck to all of them!

I remember some time ago they did a show through Fox Sports Pittsburgh (though not sure if it was FSN, Prime, or KBL then) that did a highlight show, interview, etc at the end of Luckhardt's tenure into Banaszak's.  I have seen some 'shows' with Cal U and Robert Morris since, but I guess the W&J show has long since been dusted.

Mark & I hosted those shows.  It was a lot of fun, lot of work too.

Lucky found the money/twisted the arms, whatever to buy the time to put the weekly show on the tube.  That's what's happening now at Cal, too.  When they are televised locally, it's because Lucky/Cal have found the cashinski to pony up.

[the_burghboy]

You probably could speak to this much better than myself, but I figured it's demise was in part due to Luckhardt 'leaving for health reasons' and Mitchell coming on board after Burnett left. 

I may be biased, but I thought it was actually informational, and sold past and present student athletes.   Tough to do I'm sure with the time you had.

You all did a good job with the show.

[Bob.Gregg]

Lucky did leave coaching, at the time, for health reasons.

I was with the team in Virginia where he couldn't stand during the game.
I was with the team following the decision to step down to stay alive.

When Coach and Mrs. L got the clean bill, he couldn't stay off the sidelines.

Some people were born to teach.  Some to diagnose.  Lucky was born to be a football coach, and he'll go out someday not very far from a football field.


Thanks for the compliment about the TV show.

So anybody planning on making the trip down to Belton this weekend? Judging from the weather channel it looks like you guys could use some sun. Also I was wondering do you guys have indoor training areas or anything?

Weather forecast for Belton on Sat is a high of 63 and a low of 36, sunny

I put 'health reasons' that way because although I know heard of some legit issues,  many felt part of those were due to conflicts between him and the new president at that time, and may even have had more to do with that transition.  I obviously would defer that to you because that was past my years there. 

I didn't realize his health was to that extreme though.  Glad he is doing well, and it's no surprise to anyone that played for him or worked with him closely the success he took to Cal.

Good luck this weekend. I'd love to see Swallow get to play a "home" game in Alliance as well as to see Coach Sirianni back in Mount Union Stadium. Of course Mount still as an axe to grind with Mary Hardin Baylor, so we'll just be happy to get by SUNY Cortland.

I doubt you'll see Swallow or Sirianni back in Mount Union Stadium this year, seventies.  The North and East Region winners play in the semifinals and then face the winner of the South and West Regions in Salem, VA.

Also I was wondering do you guys have indoor training areas or anything?

For what?  It's football, for heaven's sake!

[crufootball]

Haha very true Bob, but I am a Texan so that white fluffy stuff that is falling in your parts is a pretty foreign substance to me,

[Ron Boerger]

You laugh but there are actually high schools in Texas that have indoor practice facilities.   Blew my mind when I first heard about them when we were in Dallas.

[Bill McCabe]

Ron, there are more and more of these facilities being built at the high schools.  It is not just football that uses them, however.  Band, track and field, ROTC, dance and drill, baseball, etc.  I wish we had some in the San Antonio area because as you know it gets rather hot in South Texas.

[CRU96]

I read that UWWhitewater was indoors at the Univeristy of Wisonsin.  I couldn't imagine that the Univeristy of Texas (sixty miles south of Belton) would allow the Cru to use their indoor for a pratice.  It would be nice if they did!
