Dallas had their Pool B basketball bid in 03-04.  The football discussion was prior to that.  The idea was to start a club team and if successful make it a varsity sport but it never got that far although a couple of potential players did enroll and did graduate playing rugby. 

IIR, the 2003-2004 UDallas men's team earned a Pool B with a 12-12 or 12-13 record.

Different circumstances but I can't stop thinking about a real life version of the movie Necessary Roughness.

Westgate Christian apparently not done with D3 but this time is in the SCAC.

Worstgate might actually give the Roos (5-34 last four seasons) a game.  Sad that AC scheduled them to get a tenth.

The Worstgate 2025 schedule also includes Centenary and Schreiner, so this year it's the SCAC doing what the ASC had to do last year.  Obviously the Schreiner game is JV.

I didn't catch at first that AC and Centenary are playing each other twice as well. Since the SCAC has a championship game its going to be interesting if they manage to play each other 3 times in one regular season.

I really wish we knew if either of them or the ASC members even discussed the possibility of playing each other instead of doing this stuff.

Hard to say with the SCAC schedule switching to bring in Hendrix this year but not much to be gained by playing twice (or playing Worstgate once) - Austin wouldn't want to play HSU or UMHB but HPU and/or ETBU would have been better choices.

I think it's safe to say with TLU in the conference that the chance of a Centenary-AC (th)rematch in the championship is pretty darned slim.

I misspoke I wasn't thinking the actual championship but aren't they doing a 1v2, 3v4 style weekend on the last weekend of the season?

The very fact the SCAC was going to have a championship was news to me ... but the proposed 2025 football schedule (thank you Google) shows there will indeed be a 5x6 and 3x4 game in addition to the championship between the top two seeds.  So you're right, there could be a [th]rematch between the two.
