Here's a Centre preview:  http://www.centre.edu/web/athletics/football/news/1112/fb_trinity_preview_11-1_11.html

The Colonels are playing for their first post-season action since 1921, according to the article. 

EDIT:   Local TV station KSAT actually had a short report last night on the game:  http://www.ksat.com/video/29670997/ and yes, they are practicing on the baseball field.

From the one of the best teams in the country to a drought that rivals the Chicago Cubbies.

All right.

For all those seniors who read this board remember this is the last time you probably will suit up.

Do not let one second of your last game escape you. Play like it is your last heart beat.

Listen to Vide Cor Meum right before the game.

Congratulations and graduate

Good sentiments, abnrgr, but most SCAC teams have one more game after this week.     Only Sewanee plays their last game on Saturday, and those seniors should take great pride in sticking with the program during the lean years and getting it back on track for bigger things as they head to the SAA. 

Back to CC-TU:  Here's Trinity's preview:  http://www.trinitytigers.com/sports/fball/2011-12/files/FB09.pdf

Keith McMillan has a take on this in today's columns:

Here's the Danville Advocate-Messenger preview for tomorrow's game in San Antonio.

Coach Frye observes that Trinity 2011 isn't the dominant team of past years, and further says that the home-field advantage tomorrow isn't all that since it's not D1.  Maybe even he's right; we'll find out tomorrow. 

[Ralph Turner]

Trinity is always hard to beat at Stevens.

[Ron Boerger]

Nice day for the game today in SA, but a bit breezy so wind could be a factor.  70-75 or so.

[Ron Boerger]

Centre misses a 45-yard FG on their first possession, Trinity three and out.  After a 70 yard punt the Colonels start at their 20.  7:05 1st.

[Ron Boerger]

Scoreless after one.  Trinity crosses midfield for initial first down on last play of quarter.

[Ron Boerger]

Centre holds on a fourth down inside their 30.  A dropped pass inside the 10 on third down hurt.

[Ron Boerger]

Centre strikes first with a 73-yard drive totally on the ground.  7-0 Colonels, 7:29 2nd.

[Ron Boerger]

Centre gets a big sack and a stop, will start at TU 42.

[PrayingColonel]

Centre 14 - Trinity 0.

[Ron Boerger]

and take advantage with 1:35 left with Pinque scoring from 6 yards out.  14-0.
