His wife (I assume, Shawna Laurendine) is the new VB coach at MC.

Trinity is doing some minor refurb of their stadium, starting with a new scoreboard per a tweet from Coach Urban saying this is part of "Phase I of stadium renovation".   Have no insight into what else Phase I might bring but don't expect anything major (or even replacement of the grass with turf).

Anything that you ardently desire, vividly imagine, totally believe and enthusiastically pursue will inevitably come to pass !!!

I know this the eventual goal...I think it remains to be seen whether or not Trinity can get the full $$$ ask here.

This new strength and training complex is ambitious, too. Would be cool if it all went according to plan!

The new fitness center is finished, part of the ongoing (nearly complete) refurb of the Bell Center.   That is a separately funded project, used by all campus athletes and the general student population.  https://www.trinitonian.com/bell-center-renovations-nearing-completion/

Given that there has been no public announcement of the greater stadium project (which was announced several years ago, see http://www.trinitytigers.com/sports/fball/2014-15/files/Football_Brochure_as_pdf_8.5x11.pdf) reaching its goal, this would seem to be unrelated to that project.. or a very small initial step at best.   The last time I spoke to AD Bob King, they were waiting until the Bell Center was complete to start the big fundraising push.

Austin College goes "Big Time?" in water polo. ;)

http://www.mpsports.org/sports/m-wpolo/spec-rel/011618aab.html

And a water polo conference only needs six teams for an AQ(from the release)?

(EDIT:   There are so few participants in NCAA Men's Water Polo that there is a single all-Division tournament with eight selections; six AQ and two at-large)

University of California
Stanford University
UCLA
USC
Penn State Behrend
AC

Four D1 teams and two D3 teams in a conference.   Sounds painful, even if the only time the D3 squads see the others is during the conference tournament.

I was checking to see who had schedules posted and BSC has one posted with only 9 games with Huntingdon as the only non-conf. No LaGrange week one. Is that just an over-sight or are they not playing? I went to BSC's website and they still have the '17 schedule showing but I changed the dates in the URL to 18-19 and same 9 game schedule with no LaGrange that is posted here comes up. I can't imagine why either team would want to drop that game.
