Evidently Clif Carroll from McM was not retained.  No official statement from McMurry, nothing on the website.  While I didn't know Coach Carroll too well, I thought he did the best he could with what he had.  Given the chance I think McM would have been competitive as they assimilated back into the ASC.  Tough times at McM right now.  Would really like to see an official statement from McMurry.  Nothing however.

 I came to this Board this morning to see if anyone had posted about Coach Holmes, so thanks Ralph for letting everyone know.  I can't say enough about Coach and all he has done for McMurry.  But for the purposes of this board, it should also be acknowledged what he meant to the ASC during McMurry's time in the conference.  Good luck to a great guy!

I will be representing Trinity as a staff member tonight, I look forward to meeting you.

I miss the good ole days of banter on the boards Ralph. 

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

49-21 UMHB.  The final score will make it seem closer than it really will be.

I thought TU looked real good last night.  I really liked what I saw out of Mykissic.  He looked real confident in the pocket and made good decisions.  HPU's offense did drive some on the Trinity D, but it was almost a bend but don't break approach.  When they needed to they made stops and forced turnovers.

I will be anxious to see how they react next week.  I left last night wondering of TU was that good or if HPU was that bad.  Overall a great start and I am proud to call myself a Tiger.

Wow.  Trinity beats UMHB.  I had a feeling they could the way they have been playing.

GL to everyone tonight. And by that I mean good luck to pretty much just Whitworth 

I'm confident Whitworth is as good as we've all led you to believe, but there is a reason McMurry is in the tourney. A 2,000 mile road trip can cause funny things to happen...Should be a good one!

It should be a good one.  Will be interesting to see how these two match up. 

Ralph,

Good description of McMurry.  They have been up and down, but I had a feeling that they just needed to get on a roll and fortunately they did that at the right time.  They have been playing for their life the last four weeks, I hope they can keep that mentality this weekend.

I saw Whitworth briefly during the Trinity tournament here in SA back in December.  They were truly better than Southwestern (who they were playing that day) and I remember thinking they were pretty good.  Based on the description by their fans, I think they matchup between Getters and Isler should be a good one.  In my opinion, Isler was they key to their success this weekend. Whitworth sounds really good and McMurry cannot afford to fall behind and try a comeback like they have the last two games.

While UMHB is the favorite against Trinity, don't underestimate the Tigers.  They have gone on a nice streak the last several weeks and their run in the SCAC tourney was impressive.  They won't kill you athletically, but they will execute very well and they have several guys who can shoot it.  DeWeese knows Coach Cunningham pretty well so I am sure he will have his guys ready to play.  To be honest it won't surprise me if any of these four teams come out of this pod.  All of these games will be good.

A very interesting pod.  Trinity will give UMHB a game and the coaching match up between these two is interesting.  In the other game can McM keep their momentum rolling against what looks like a good Whitworth team?

Great defensive effort by McM in the second half.  That is what got them back into the game.  Offensively in the second half they got to the free throw line and took advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves.  Gutsy performance by Connor Robinson down the stretch especially hitting that free throw in the last seconds.  A big win in light of the Schreiner win over HSU.

McM drops another one last night at Schreiner.  I just can't put my finger on what is going on right now.  I have watched a couple of games this year and I scour the statistics for hints at what the issues are.  Anyone care to offer a theory?

Anybody know why Matt Addison is not playing tonight?

Reporter News this morning said Coaches decision.  This will be interesting to watch as the season progresses. 

It was a really great game in San Antonio today and I think two pretty evenly matched teams.  I was impressed again with Trinity's defense and really thought that Mykissic started off real well, but did struggle with consistency as the game progressed.  Both teams played hard and never gave up.  As with most big games, turnovers and special teams was the difference. There was an unsung hero in my eyes.  When McMurry scored their second half TD, they got some key runs by Austin Brooks.  It was the right change of pace at the right time.  Anyway, a real entertaining game and was proud to be a Warhawk and a Tiger today.
