DPUFan: Thanks.

Tacttm1: No, I don't believe USA Today puts the contents of its preseason college football publication online. It's in stores now. (Typically I've found it's easiest to find these things at gas station/convenience stores.)

You can also order the special editions of sports weekly from their site

Item 1:  I guess we've reached that point in the summer where the Trinity people post comments alluding to the fact that this year's incoming class will be the best ever for the Tigers.  It seems like these post come up every summer.

Item 2:  I wonder what this huge financial blow at Birmingham Southern will do to their athletics:

I went to my first DIII football games last fall, and have been wondering about something ever since ... is there any rhyme or reason as to whether a school charges admission to games or not? For example, is it something as simple as each school's particular philosophy, or does it have more to do with whether a school needs all the revenue it can get to pay for better facilities?

[Ron Boerger]

Yes.

There are schools that have free admission to everything (except playoff games, where the NCAA mandates an admission charge); schools that charge for just football, and schools that charge for an assortment of sports.  It's up to the individual school to determine what it wants to do in this regard.

Welcome to the boards, Navidad!

Does anyone know what report day for fall camp is?  I cannot wait for the new season.

According to TrinityTigers.com, TU reports on August 12th.  Not sure if that would be a league-wide date, but it probably depends upon whether the teams participated in Spring practices or Spring/Summer exhibition games or trips.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Garrett Biel and Kyle Trella, Trinity's pre-season D3Football All-Americans.  Both young man had remarkable seasons, leading the nation in field goals and punts as first-years for the Tigers.  Best wishes for another great year launching that pigskin, men!
