Pat -- I hope you stayed dry. I couldn't summon the enthusiasm to go stand in the rain and given the dud the game ended up being, I'm glad I didn't! Watching W&L clinch from my computer was much more satisfying though I would have liked to say hi.

That's alright -- I did stay dry as I was trying to keep score on paper thanks to the power being out in the stadium for the first quarter.

We're backkkkkkk. Pretty excited about Trinity and Austin College's move back to the old members of the SCAC/new SAA. Interested to hear about the details behind the decision!

The good news is you'll have an easier time with your schedule. The bad news is this message board is going to be whatever you guys bring over with you and occasionally a voice in the wilderness.

The TU/AC presence on the SCAC board (soon to RIP!) the last few years hasn't been that much, either.   Hopefully being a part of a conference, and playing games that build towards a pool A bid, will bring a few more folks along.   I look forward to seeing some old acquaintances in San Antonio and getting acquainted with new faces like Berry and Hendrix.

Maybe by 2017 the TU stadium will get the improvements that have been discussed for years.

Hay
I agree with both Ron Boerger & jknezek in that this and the SCAC & SAA boards are quiet, but, I still check em and the ODAC  and of course USAsouth 'bout every other day.
stay safe
keep the faith

Congratulations to WashU defensive coordinator Jim Ryan as he leaves the Bears to become the new head coach at Rhodes College!  Jim will replace Dan Gritti, who left to become the head coach at Millikin University.

Jim will do well at Rhodes...the Lynx should be pumped about the new hire!

Just booked my spot at the W&L tailgate at Sewanee 9/10. Awadelewis if you are going to be around let me know and I'll stop by and say hi again. No family coming this year, so hopefully I'll get to watch the whole game.

Planning on being on the Mountain next weekend.   Not certain what sort of game we will see next week as I've not been able to spend much time in Sewanee the past few weeks.  And sounds like we a rough time on the road today at Kenyon.  Do come by the home side and say hello, will be in my usual spot along the fence.

Big win over Maryville Saturday night.  Big crowd beautiful weather, very exciting finish.

Will do. W&L's offense is going to be tough to stop. JHU took advantage of the defense. Be interesting to see how the defense stacks up against a different offense.

Go Berry!  Game at Lagrange on Saturday.. the first two games in this series have both went into overtime.

[Ron Boerger]

Looking forward to Trinity's rematch at Millsaps today ... and to Trinity's participation as an associate member of the SAA beginning next season.   Good luck to all the teams playing today.
