I bow to the greatness that is K-Mack.  Been out of pocket all afternoon but just saw the Trinity final.  Well done, men!

Wow! AC holds on 4th and a foot at  goal line with 44 seconds left. Wayland used their time outs and AC took an intentional safety. Wayland got the benefit of a questionable interference call to try a 44 yard fg with three seconds left.  AC blocks fg and wins 24 - 23! Much more exciting than being at the Cotton Bowl!

Great win for Trinity today.  Proud of the way they have bounced back after weeks 3 and 4.

Great win for AC. Some good senior day stuff, too. Kevin Leonard got his first career TD, and William Gadberry got a pick. And for non-seniors, so glad to see Colter Headrick block that FG for several reasons, but especially because he's just a really, really good kid. Glad to see him make a big play like that.

Some interesting information on the AC homecoming game against Centre!

"The football team was off last weekend but returns to action this Saturday as part of Homecoming Weekend with the team set to take on Centre College at 1:00 p.m. There will be plenty of pregame excitement, highlighted by a flyover by Lieutenant Ross "Jackpot" Jackson, Austin College class of 2002 and TOPGUN instructor. "Jackpot" will be back on campus celebrating his 10 year reunion and will be completing his flyover prior to kickoff, weather permitting."

Well, it's official, Trinity is your 2012 SCAC football champions.

WTF, you say?  Me too, but per a release from SCAC HQ "[f]or purposes of determining the SCAC champion, games against Southern Athletic Association members count toward the conference standings, as well as the Austin College vs. Trinity game on Nov. 10."

I imagine this will not be the case next year, when there will actually be enough teams to make in-conference results more meaningful. 

Here's the release - http://scacsports.com/sports/fball/2012-13/releases/trinity_wins_scac_championship

You Tube clip of the Flyover at Austin College's Homecoming game on Saturday vs. Centre.  The anthem is sung by  Alumni choir members  who do this every year at Homecoming.  The jet is a F/A-18 fighter and is piloted by Lieutenant Ross "Jackpot" Jackson (Class of '02).  For more information, please see below the YouTube link below.  It was a great sight to see and I got to talk to "Jackpot" at halftime.  After meeting him it is once again clear to see why we need to be proud of those who serve in our Armed Forces!

Top Gun Pilot to Fly Over

Lieutenant Ross "Jackpot" Jackson '02 will fly a U.S. Navy F/A-18 jet from North Texas Regional Airport at Perrin Field southward directly over Apple Stadium at 12:58 p.m. on Saturday, October 27.

This spectacular event will honor the men and women of the United States military as part of the Austin College Homecoming celebration. The flyover will coincide with the presentation of the national anthem prior to the 1 p.m. kickoff of the Homecoming football game. Jackson is a member of the 10-year reunion class.

Jackson, originally of Georgetown, Texas, graduated magna cum laude from Austin College in 2002. He was commissioned as an ensign in Pensacola, Florida, after completing Officer Candidate School in November 2004.

Following flight training in Corpus Christi and Kingsville, Texas, Jackson was designated a naval aviator in March 2007. He completed training in the F/A-18 Super Hornet at NAS Lemoore, California, in March 2008, earning Top Hook awards for carrier qualification in both the T-45 and F/A-18F during his flight training.

Jackson reported to the Black Knights of Strike Fighter Squadron 154 at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, flying the F/A-18F Super Hornet, in March 2008.  During this tour, deployed aboard the USS John C. Stennis and the USS Ronald Reagan, he served as the squadron Air-to-Ground Weapons Training Officer as well has head landing signals officer.

In March 2011, Jackson reported to the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, Top Gun.  After graduating from the course, he joined the staff as a Top Gun PGUN Instructor Pilot and now serves as the U.S. Navy's Subject Matter Expert for both the AIM-9 Sidewinder and Aerial Gunnery. At Top Gun, he flies the F/A-18 Hornet, F/A-18 Super Hornet, and F-16 Fighting Falcon.  During his career, he has accumulated more than 1,100 flight hours and more than 225 carrier-arrested landings.

Lt. Jackson now lives in Fallon, Nevada, with his wife, Rachel, and their sons, Otto and Everett.
