TigerDad, we wish you guys well as you deal with the coming storm.  After Katrina, none of us would wish it on anybody!

Thanks for the summary of the Tiger O, but what about the Tiger D?  Were you surprised to give up 18 points to McM?

Looking forward to Nov. 1, though I doubt I'll get to make the trip.  Hopefully you guys used up all your "miracle mojo" last year!

Thanks, Major Rev.  Storm track predictions are still uncertain, may miss some of us entirely ... we hope so.

In regards to the Tiger D, frankly, most of McMurry's damage came at the expense of Trinity's reserve defenders.  Many starters were shuttled in and out of the game in the second half to preserve health and give the backups some playing time.  Remember that it was 21-0 after the first quarter.  Trinity's Black Flag first line looked tough and gave very little ground.  But, hey, what else would you expect me to say?!

I daresay the Tigers still have a little "mojo" to go.  Like Starbucks, maybe?

The latest computer prediction shows 105mph winds near Shiner, TX on Saturday around 1PM.  Hunker down good there Scott.

'43, there's a SCAC pick 'em board in the General Football area  - the more the merrier!

And, as Trinity & TX Lutheran is being played Thursday night, please try to have your picks in by Thursday afternoon.

Preview of the Millsaps vs. Belhaven game this weekend, don't know anything about the Blazers this year, but do know we have never beaten them.  Good luck to everyone this weekend, looks like I may not have power to watch any games online this weekend, but hope the SCAC plays well!

Good luck to you, ex ... where do you live?

Ike is going east more and more.  Houston and Galveston are not looking good right now.

Thanks Ron, born and raised in Houston and live on the West side of town now, staying put as I am not in a mandatory evacuation zone, but should be interesting.

My brother in law is in Katy and I'm in College Station.  I think I'm about to end up with a lot of family here at my house tomorrow.  My mom is down in Santa Fe, but she's on pretty high ground.  She is going to stay put.  I'm really working her to get the heck out of there.  we had Alicia come through the back yard in 83 and it wasn't a lot of fun. 

[TigerDad]

I'm bored this afternoon ... think I'll hop in the car and drive to San Antonio to see if anything's happening at E.M. Stevens Stadium at Trinity University.  I'll give y'all an IH-10 West traffic report late tonight when I return.  Hope to see lots of Bulldogs stalled by the side of the road ...

GO TIGERS.

The Austin College/McMurry football game on Saturday has been moved up to 11 am in an effort to try to get it completed before Ike makes its way up to North Texas...

Any BCS fans...the above article painted a rather gloomy picture regarding losses to grades, etc....is it really that bad? I think I was among more than a few people who impressed with the team last year and the direction the program seemed to be headed. Perspective from 'Bama?

Sounds like the players that were lost didn't really belong there or understand what they were getting into, that B-S College isn't just another Alabama football factory.  Attrition will probably always be an issue, especially if they develop into a decent program.  I'm guessing DePauw's roster is freshmen-heavy each year (as is Wabash's roster), and a high percentage don't play beyond that first year, because they aren't playing, and probably won't be playing anytime soon.  Sounds like they are dealing with issues we've been dealing with for years - it's just newer to them.
