FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

reality check ...

I believe I remember this being discussed a couple years ago ... the player in question was a recent Trinity alum, but not a quarterback ... seems like he played receiver or DB at TU. 

historymajor or Ron will know the answer, I'm sure.  Before my time.

Jason Hunt #84, WR w/ Jerheme Urban in Stagg Bowl run.

I bow to Bob's superior knowledge.

A hungry group of Trinity players, coaches and fans take the Tiger show on the road this weekend to Colorado Springs.  It'll be good to shake some rust off and see what this year's Trinity Tiger team is made of!  Back to backs in CO and BHM should prove to get them ready for the rest of their SCAC schedule.

They are 2 of the bottom 3 teams in the SCAC... that will hardly get you ready for the league.

Tigers will roll with a pair of easy wins... TU 41, CC 6 and TU 31, BSC 3.

I knew he would know that one ... Jason Hunt is credited with "Stunts" on all the Friday Night Lights info on the various movie/TV websites.

He was also drafted to Team Texas of the upcoming "All American Football League" that was to have begun play last spring, but has announced a delay until 2009 ... no idea whether the AAFL league will ever got started. 

I found this photo of him being introduced during the AAFL draft:

A quick Google search also uncovered this excellent story written by a now-famous (or infamous?) young D3Football.com correspondent about Trinity's win over then-ranked UMHB from November 2002:

Trinity (Texas) 48, Mary Hardin-Baylor 38
Nov 23, 2002

Somehow we keep getting linked back to the same cast of characters here ...

[Ron Boerger]

"Young" and "Ron Boerger" haven't gone together in a very, very long time.

And speaking of long, the opening TD in that game came from the slowest dang kick return in history.

[Toby Taff]

I was at that game Ron, and the most vivid memory I have of it was Shawn Rochon getting mad on the field when a Trinity player grabbed him by the arm and yanked him down.  He was so mad when he came of the field he kicked a helmet a good 25 - 30 yards on the sidelines.  He was inconsolable so the coaches went into the stands and got his mom.  Mom settled it real quick.

[Ron Boerger]

Unfortunately for Trinity fans, Toby, that year was about the last time UMHB had anything to be frustrated about in postseason matches between the two.   

[TigerDad]

Maybe the tide will turn someday soon, Ron.  It's not the first three quarters that's the problem ... it's that last 15 minutes that gets us.  We just don't have the same number or type of athletes as the Cru.  Our best chance would be to have a balanced offensive attack with ball control and clock management to keep our D (and their O) off the field as much as possible.

First things first ... we gotta beat MC and DPU in SA to win the SCAC.

[roocru]

I am going to be in Sherman for the AC/Centre game this weekend.  Anyone else going to be there?

[reality check]

Thanks for the response guys.  I have linked the ESPN.com story that references a former Trinity QB playing the part of Matt Saracen on the field.  Interesting story nonetheless.

I watched/listened to the replay of last week's Millsaps Coach's Show and then to this week's show.  I always come away so impressed by the Millsaps coaching staff and the segment with Davern Williams this week was no exception. 

There's something special going on with the Millsaps football program that goes way beyond just winning football games and I wish there was a way to get more support for the team from the local community, the local press, the student body, and the alumni of the school.  I suspect that same sentiment is shared by many of you regarding the program at your favorite D3 school.

I agree Frank, it is difficult to keep up with what is going on over there, espcially from here in Houston.  But I think it would be difficult to keep up with Trinity, even in the same state.  That is why I am thankful for this site and what Pat and the guys do for DIII as well as all the informed/unbiased  posters on the boards!  I also think Kevin has done a great job as SID at Millsaps, he seems to have stabilized that position the last few years and has really worked hard to improve the communication flow and allow us to get live feeds of games.
