*** Just ordered the d3football "Kickoff" ...seems like a solid 10 dollars well spent and it goes to support the boards.  I challenge other SCAC fans to do the same.  (kinda like a pledge-a-thon with out the great acts!!!) ;)

Just logged in to the brand-spanking new "2009 Kickoff" and took a quick look.  This will require some serious study tonight, but I would like to encourage all you SCAC fans to pony up the $10 (or less) to get your own access.

Trinity fans will be interested to read the stories on of Robby Long at DPU, Hal Mumme at McMurry (TU's first opponent) and that TU is picked as a 'maybe' under playoff teams beyond the top 25.  Some say that the opening schedule of four games on the road will determine TU's season outlook ... I would agree with that assessment. 

Now I'm looking forward to the 2009 edition of the Trinity Tigers!   11 days and counting ...
Trinity Tiger Football ... where champions compete on and off the field.

Thanks, TigerDad. The PAWS group was a big supporter of Kickoff last season and we are thankful for any support we get.

Agree wholeheartedly...at $10 it's a bargain. Pat and his team have done another great job...a real service to all who play, coach or are simply interested in DIII football!

Click the team links, too. If you have questions, check out the FAQ first (http://www.atomicfootball.com/af-links.html).

Found above quoted links to this site on the General Football board.  Here's the direct link to their statistical prediction for Trinity's 2009 football season:
   - http://www.knology.net/~jashburn/football//archive/teams/tm_595.html

Other SCAC team predictions can be easily viewed by clicking on the team name links from the Trinity page link above. 

I found it quite interesting ... in this system, TU is predicted to go 7-3 ... losing to Millsaps by 13 (showdown at Davis), DePauw by 2 (good one at Blackstock), and Azusa Pacific by 7 (doubt it).  Looks like the site will be updated as the season goes along ... should be fun to watch and see how it turns out.  I could live with 7-3, but sure would like to see 9-1 and a playoff berth for the men from S.A.!!!

Just to save you accountants and engineers some aggravation, I found the followin Q&A in the FAQ section ... you know you were going to ask, weren't you?!

FAQ #5 - If I look on one of the team pages at your games predictions and compare them to the projected win/loss record, they don't match. What gives?

OK, this one is a little tricky, so I'll answer it with an example. Let's say I've predicted your team will win each of it's final four games (individually), and the probability of win is 75% in each game. In this case, I project their record assuming that COLLECTIVELY they will win only three of those games (0.75 * 4 = 3). They might not lose any, or one, or two, or three, or all four, but averaging across all the possible outcomes, expect one loss.

Enjoy!  Only 11 more days to the real thing ...

;D

"TD", I agree it should be fun to check this out as the season progresses. I would have had no idea about this site without your "tip". If I had any karma I'd 1+ ya'.
*The Roo's don't get much respect by the author but that's okay. We've gotta prove some things this year.

Finally got to Sherman this weekend to see a practice session. I believe there's a chance they may be called "those amazing Roo's" IF we can keep everybody healthy throughout the fall. I got to see some of those newcomers we've been hearing about. It looks like some of the new arrivals has allowed the coaches to move a couple of key contributors around from last year to help fill some spots on defense vacated by departing seniors. And if what I saw was real, I hope folks continue to load up for the run against  our "O"  :-X.

I'd like to have been able to go back this afternoon for a scrimmage against the University of Mexico. Apparently the Pumas are scrimmaging a few Texas teams this week. Someone said they may have been going to UTSA on this trip also - not sure about other stops they may have planned.

Ron Boerger

UTSA doesn't have any players yet.  Maybe"someone" was thinking about UIW, which does start play this year?

rooski

Ooops. My bad... :-[ In fairness to my "someone", he had said a school in San Antonio {but he didn't think it was Trinity}. I errantly converted that to UTSA. Thanks for the assist  :).

According to Incarnate Word and the Express-News, UIW will host Monterrey Tech for their first game ever in their fancy new Benson Stadium in San Antonio this Saturday 8/29:

Gentlemen, I would look for the men from Mexico to pound the young Cardinals soundly.  OUCH.  

rooski ... heads up for a followup UIW-MonterreyTech article on Sunday morning here:

Trinity Tiger Football ... where champions compete on and off the field.

Speaking of the Express-News, this article in today's edition says Trinity has formally called the $200M "Campaign for Trinity" a success, with $203.6M raised.

I sure hope that part of the $5 million identified in the campaign for "Athletic and Recreational Facilities" will cover the long-discussed turf for EM Stevens.
