The San Antonio Express-News has conceded that Trinity has competitive sports and is worthy of coverage?  What's next ... the Tigers will get as much ink as UIW and UTSA (though less than local high school athletics)?

Ha.  UIW got at least 3-4x the ink Trinity did last season and there have been plenty of long stories about UTSA fairly constantly since that program was announced.  They have a designated columnist whose sole job is covering UTSA, and a section of the website devoted to the school.  Today's 'college football preview' listed the entire UTSA roster, had a 'meet the Roadrunners' section featuring five players, had a story on nobody knowing what the year will bring, and the preview.   And lots of pictures. 

No doubt once the season rolls around it'll be back to the one paragraph, two sentence Trinity game "stories" for which the E-N is famous, you know:  "In [city], Trinity [defeated/lost to] [opponent], [score].  The Tigers were led by [player], with [key statistic]."

Trinity 2011 roster is up.  104 on the team this year; 17 seniors, 17 juniors, 26 sophomores, 44 first years.    9 OL's 6'0", 250 or better, most of those underclassmen.

Similarly, Austin College has its roster up as well. 102 players currently on the roster heading into the TLU game. To give an idea of how well they did recruiting some serious beef for the OL, Coach Dawson and the crew brought in 11 OL, 10 of which are 6-0 or taller and 9 of which are 247 or heavier. There are also 5 QB's on the roster, the smallest of which is starter Travis Zambiasi at 5-11, 190. The other QB's are 6-6 208, 6-1 180, 6-3 185 and 6-2 186.

Overall one of the biggest rosters in recent memory in terms of both the number of players as well as the SIZE of the players.

Think this team is going to turn heads this season and I agree that Dawson and his staff did an amazing job recruiting. FYI: Update on SCAC and next season...this is the first article in which someone actually placed AC and Trinity as Independents after this season. I included the link...thoughts anyone???????

I too believe there will be some heads turning to see what Austin College brings on game day!  ;)

Of course I am a little jaded being a Roo fan and all. I just know some of the talent they have acquired - how they
use it is yet to be seen.  ;D ;D

I AM READY FOR GAME DAY! 

BRING IT ON!!!

I noticed that Trinity P Kyle Trella wasn't on the roster earlier ... he is now, and a few others (including some OL :) ) have been added to bring the total to 109.

Austin could be one of many interesting stories in the SCAC this year.

The SCAC doesn't have enough football programs in 2012 to be called a conference under NCAA standards.

Hi Pat...Do you think they will stay independent or find football teams to join or go find another conference? Quite a situation for next season. Thoughts?

I really don't know where they find five teams to join and get the automatic bid back. Just getting the three they need (or is it two? not sure) to remain a conference in the eyes of the NCAA is problematic.

Respectfully, I think that a conference can remain a conference at 6 teams, e.g., the Presidents AC back in the last decade.

They can remain one at six. They can remain one at five. What I am not sure about is if they can remain one at four, if you follow my math.

I'll be sharing my conversation with Coach Mohr this summer in the next couple of weeks in Around the South.
