You are probally right Ron. I watched the matchup between TLU and UMHB last year which got pretty wild in the 4th quarter. If that is how they are paired up in the post season, should be an interesting game. I just hope TLU makes the playoffs. I do not want count my chickens before they hatch.

Welcome RLW! Perhaps you can round up some fellow supporters.

As for TLU's success, I've been waiting for it. I mean, you have a coach whose son played for arguably one of the best DIII teams in the nation and has brought along coaches from that school to be on your staff. Add in a mix of butt whoopings the past several years and you have yourself a recipe for success. I hope it plays out as it should with everyone healthy for the first round game.

I would round them up if I knew them, I am an uncle to one of the players. I do not know much about D3 football playoff structuring other than what I read. I have been following them for the last two years. It has been interesting sense they were 4 and 6 last year and 7 and 0 this year already with two games left. I will attend the TLU, Hardin Simmons game and see if they let the Dogs out.

Very good. It sounds as if they need to round up supporters. The HSU game should be a barn burner. I'll be keeping up with that on the phone. Will you make the game here if they end up playing?

If I can get away from work, I will plan on being there. I was there last year when TLU played UMHB in Belton. the 59 yard field goal was something to see.

Yes! New stadium this year and good food. Got to have the Cru Dog and some purple Crunilla ice cream specially designed by Bluebell. Good eats.

Not much going on here these days, but sad news to share from the SCAC baseball board earlier today:

I just heard that our friend Bob Edwards (known to us as HistoryMajor) passed away over the weekend. Bob loved Trinity sports and was involved from the days his son competed to his work in establishing the internet broadcast program.

Bob was a good friend that will be missed by the families that he has touched over the years.

History major was a good personal friend from the 1980's.

My prayers are with his wife, his four sons and the extended family.  Because of Bob and his work with PAWS, we were blessed with the Miracle at Millsaps!

Here is Bob's obituary; private services will be held tomorrow.   http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dallasmorningnews/obituary.aspx?n=robert-william-edwards&pid=168004340

Bob's influence on Trinity football, and TU sports in general (he was also an avid baseball fan), was significant.  As Ralph noted above he was instrumental in establishing webcasting for the football team and was also a frequent play-by-play contributor for baseball.   His absence will be keenly felt.

congrats to the Roos!

Tough year for Trinity.   Hopefully they won't have to deal with as many injuries as they did this year in 2014.

It was a fun day to be in Sherman, with AC getting the first win over Trinity in 20 years and the men's basketball team scoring 104 points. A couple of fun facts about the final stats on the year for AC:

Noah Jesko finished with 2,117 passing yards, which is just a little over 100 yards shy of the single season record at AC. With everyone returning on offense (starters) other than James Nwankpah, he has a very realistic chance to break the record next season. The entire line is back, all of his receivers, both of his tight ends, and Bryce Murphy, the leading rusher in the SCAC. This could be a REALLY good offense next season.

Speaking of Murphy...he and James Nwankpah finished 1 and 2 in the conference in rushing yards, the first time two teammates have ever been the top two rushers in the 22 year history of the SCAC (and the last time it happened in the old CAC was, apparently, in the mid-70's).

Several key losses on defense heading into next year...the 'Roos will have to replace guys like CB Logan Estes, LB Nathan Packard, and FS De'Andre Holmes, three of their best players and leaders. They'll also have to replace K Andrew Klink, who had a rough day today with two missed FGs but overall has been a very good kicker over the years.

I would like to think that Austin pulled off a long wanted victory, rather than Trinity lost it.
