Trinity's senior quarterback Blake Barmore has been selected to play for the Texas Team in the 2nd Annual Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Game on Feb. 2nd at the Sun Bowl in El Paso. The Texas Team will be coached by Gene Stallings, and The Nation will be coached by Buddy Ryan. The game is expected to draw approx. 40,000 fans(?); 10,000 tickets were given by the sponsors to be used by the troops at Fort Bliss, TX.

Tex ... just added Trinity's 2008 Football Schedule to the PAWS website here:
http://www.pawsfootball.com. 

TU's first game is Sept 6th ... they host McMurry University ... McM replaced ETBU on Trinity's otherwise unchanged but opposite-venue-from-2007 schedule.  If you get what I mean.

Ralph, will you be joining us in S.A. that weekend?

Jason Hunt of Trinity was selected in the 22nd Round of the newly launched All-American Football League.  It's a new professional league which stipulates that all players must have completed four years of college eligibility and received a degree.  Kind of an anti-XFL I guess.

They are putting franchises in traditional college football hotbeds (and stadiums) like Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Michigan, Alabama and Florida.

Hunt was picked by the Texas team.

I have to put that one on my schedule!

And, good lord willing, my wife and I will have relocated from Dallas to Austin by then and I will be able to be there, too. 

That is, if these winds we are having today don't tear the roof off the house.  Several shingles are already gone.

You're moving to Austin? Damn! I envy y'all ....  *

John Jenkins is the head coach of the Texas team?

He had a rather hard fall from grace as The Houston Cougars head coach that I believe included splicing the game film with provocative material.  I think there were also some recruiting issues.

That surprises me for a league that seems to want to promote virtues such as completing education. 

I could be wrong.  Does anyone know?  Besides, the run and shoot isn't famous for winning many championships.

[Tex]

For a further exercise in humor, check out what the Coogs graduation rate was when Jenkins was there.  This concept of having players with degrees will be quite foreign to him.  Maybe he can slip in a few Macintosh commercials into his game film now and appeal to their more creative, intellectual side?  Maybe some stock market updates?

PREDICTIONS?

[DPU3619]

I won't go any less than 9-1 with their schedule.  They have the two toughest teams on their schedule (Millsaps and DePauw) at home. 

By the way, they haven't lost an SCAC game at home in this century.
