You guys have something of ours, please take good care of it while we are gone.  If you will please place it somewhere special that we may come by and see it occasionally. 

The Wesley Cup has new meaning today, it is now a memorial of the past. 

Must be really tough to lose the school and teams.  We all look forward to the season, the good-natured back and forth, the analysis, and the ooh-rahs.  You are clearly passionate and insightful.  If you want to hitch your wagon to a quality school and athletic program, Trinity would love to have you onboard!

Nice to see the additions to Trinity.  Some local boys coming home to Texas!

This is a big. deal.

Congrats to Christian and the team!

Great stat, scottie.  I imagine TLU and TU are among the top nationally as well.

Thanks!

Superb effort by Trinity last night.  Down 13 six minutes into the third quarter, the Tigers pulled it out.

UMHB took 22 more shots in the game, but Trinity made up for it with over 50% accuracy overall and from beyond the arc.

Should be a great game tonight against host Hardin Simmons.

Holy cow!

This would be Trinity giving up 9 runs to Babson in the top of the 7th to trail 14-5, then scoring ten runs themselves in the bottom of the 8th, capped off by a Cristian Holloway grand slam in a 15-14 win.



And today, TU up 16-0 in the 6th.  Let's hope this offensive display is lasting!

Quote from: Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) on February 20, 2024, 09:23:52 PMBoyle has been suspended for Dallas.  Boykin, Russo, and Dittman for CC.  Whoever wins Friday will have a full roster for Saturday (and their leading scorer rested up).

Overkill.  Particularly suspending the UD player.  He had another kid on top of him and had no idea what was going on.  The guys off the bench on the other hand...

Looked like a misunderstanding as a CC player was hanging on the rim to avoid falling on a UD player and the UD player didn't realize it was innocent.  He pushed him away and he almost fell.  The CC bench cleared and went after the UD player.

In my view only CC players going after the UD player deserve scrutiny for suspension.

Pro teams should take a look at Tucker Horn from Trinity University:

NCC led at the half, scored 30 points in the second half, and rushed for 404 yards. The post-game focus was on the failed two-point attempt, but the offense was plenty good enough to win. NCC's 37 points are the most ever scored by the losing team in a Stagg Bowl.

NCC allowed 24+ points seven times this season. Last season, they never allowed more than 21 points in a game.

NCC's offense this season was the most dominating I've seen at the D3 level. Their defense was middling, however, and it ultimately wasn't good enough to win a national title.

NCC lost AA DT Dan Lester early in the season. AA CB Antwain Walker in the early playoff rounds. CCIW DPOY DE Martin Egbo in the quarters. I think it's fair to say any defense losing that type of talent would likely face a steep drop off.

Egbo played in the final.

You believe that would happen, and it may.  But you don't know that for fact, because it didn't happen.  I think it would be a fun game, if we could have seen it. 

Remember, this isn't an argument over who is better and would win the game, because we don't know that answer.  The conversation is about who is ranked higher at the end of the season?


Thanks.  I get that. 

I would rank Trinity higher at the end of the season given their demonstrated ability during the 2023 season to stop the run, RMCs strong point.

Your logic would tell us that we will never know if Millsaps would win a notional game against UWW.  Based on the performance of the teams in 2023, I would rank UWW higher.

The entire process is subjective.

I gave you a reason why Trinity should be ranked higher.

My man....

For (hopefully) the last time this season: I don't think a single soul in this thread has had an issue with your subjective belief that RMC is better than Trinity. I don't even think some people would disagree with you. However, since the beginning of the season you've preached that record matters over all, and you continued that mantra into the playoffs. But Im sorry, nobody (or perhaps only a few) find that credible in this D3 landscape. Congrats, after tonight you (maybe) finally have a data point of comparison to support your ultimate position; yet, tonight still does nothing to bolster the position you've taken for weeks that record matters above all else. Or how far a team makes it in the playoffs. I do commend you on finally realizing that your better strategy is to ask others why Trinity is better than RMC -  rather than relying on your own arguments for why RMC is better, though.

Once again, I'm claiming you didn't comprehend what I said.  Either I did a terrible job explaining it, or you did a horrible job of reading it.  I never claimed R-MC was better because of their record.  I had Trinity ranked ahead of R-MC to end the season.  I said R-MC had a better season and deserved to be ranked ahead of Trinity after the playoffs.  I've also called for someone to tell me why Trinity should be ranked higher for over a week, and no one has.  They just told me how wrong I was for my take on it.  I asked for them to give me a reason, and that's when the thread went silent for a week. 

It is what it is, and now the seasons over.  The long wait begins for spring practice, signing days and finally fall camp.  For BSC, my confidence is once again climbing that we will still exist and have another season, but with all that has been going on, we have a huge hill to climb to get back to where we were the last few years. 

You today: "I've also called for someone to tell me why Trinity should be ranked higher for over a week, and no one has."

Me on December 10th: "Admitted Trinity fan here, but I'd contend that Trinity would limit RMC's running game in a matchup enough to win a notional matchup."

Cortland was barely in the top 100 and stopped the RMC running game.  Trinity was 23rd.  Stop the RMC running game and you win.

That's my reason.  Again.

If a team can sustain long, time consuming drives, gain a positive turnover differential, and stop a couple of explosive scores they have a chance.

Doing this is quite unlikely, however.

I have never said R-MC was a better team and would beat Trinity.
it is my opinion that R-MC should be ranked above Trinity in the final poll.

Tell me you don't understand polls without saying you don't understand D-III polls.

Attack me all you want, call me an idiot, I don't really care. But tell me why I'm wrong for putting R-MC ahead of Trinity. None of you have giving me a reason other then "you don't understand". I e giving you my reasons why I put R-MC there, none of you have given me a reason why Trinity should be ahead of them except because that's where someone else ranked them there, someone else's opinion. What makes theirs better than mine???

I did.
