Fico, you are right-on!

In fact, the Tigers might have scored a bunch more had not a lot of the "air gone out" after the three turnover TD's (not to mention Jake's injury).

Who really knows?

It was a hard fought game... but as Darrell Royal always said, "If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts... we'd all have a merry Christmas."

Congrats on a good year Trinity.

Robin Kelner had a great game.  I'm not sure how many receptions he ended up with, but it was lot.  Also, he was open on several other throws that were off target.

The Trinity D was excellent.  They never quit playing hard and they did a good job against the UMHB offense.

The game today was a show of great defenses.  The Trinity defense played lights out all day, holding UMHB to 197 yards (I think).  It was just too bad that the UMHB defense played just as well, if not better, scoring basically 21 points by themselves.  The TU offense never got on track, and the UMHB D-line was in the backfield every snap.  UMHB has one of the quickest defenses I have seen at the D3 level.  How some of those guys aren't playing division 1 ball is beyond me.  Congratulations, now go represent Texas!!!

Trinity fans,

I was at the game today and just wanted to say congratulations on your players' effort today.  IMHO this was a slugfest between two Top 10 ranked teams and two great defenses.

Seeing how I have split loyalties to UMHB and Austin College, I think you guys will begin to see a little more of me on this board.  I am glad to be in your conference now as well.  I'll just be rooting for other teams against you guys twice a year now 

Once again, congratulations on a great game and a great season. !!!!

ttu719803, I can think of 2 players who have gone to the Big 12 from the ASC.  Correct my spelling/names here please, but I believe that Tech has a former HPU LB named Nazirrudin and BU has a former UMHB back named Roshon Johnson.

Ralph,

Close, but the guy from UMHB is Shaun Roshon and he started every game this season. 
His stats for 2005 are:

44 receptions
443 yards
10.1 yds/catch
2 Tds receiving 1 rushing and a 98 yd Kick-off return for a td against OU

and according to Baylors site 988 all-purpose yards

Not bad for a small walk-on D3 receiver.

Kubiak and Reed could definitely be playing Big 12 ball.

[Bill McCabe]

I hope Kubiak makes all american.  Based on the way he played in the 2004 playoffs, I was surprised he wasn't a preseason choice.

Depauw's 2 losses don't look so bad any more!  They lost 2 games by less than 10 points.....those two teams just won there 1st round games by more than 60 points??  Too bad they couldn't make it to SA

Congratulations to all those honored.

However, is anyone surprised that Dustin Hertel did not make the first-team?

[Tiger_Pride]

Can someone explain to me how Dustin Hertel, Brian Culp, and Greg Sylvester didn't make 1st team?

[Ron Boerger]

Seems like DePauw didn't get a lot of love for whatever reason.  I would have had Marks not only as one of two RBs but Offensive POTY.  Pretty surprised to see Jones and Mears up there.   The selection of Elston (4 tackles/game, 2 total sacks) over Hertel is equally surprising. 

Did coaches really vote in DPU's DiSalvo over Hertel?  Did they get the two switched somehow?  DiSalvo averaged 2.6 tackles per game, totaled four tackles for loss and half a sack.  Hard to believe he would get the nod over Hertel:  5.4 tackles/game, 14 tackles for loss, seven sacks, two forced fumbles, seven QB hurries, and an interception.  I don't get it. 

[ALONGFORTHERIDE]

I don't think Tim Rogers made very many friends among the SCAC head coaches...this could be a reflection of that.  I've heard that similar things happened to him while in the MIAA.  Hertel got robbed!  I think he was the conf player of the week at least 2-3 times and he doesn't get first team??  What about eric lewis, chad homan, sylvester, berigan....

[tigerdadplm]

that would be too bad if that where the case?   Coaches can't let individual problems hurt the players!
