Makes sense...

Acknowledges the philanthropy and gets the Christian name off the letterhead...

Let's have a pre-season poll. Let's rank the Top 7 teams

Please send me your ballots by Labor Day evening.

1st game is TLU vs Trinity in Seguin on Thursday 09/04.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on August 18, 2025, 12:19:16 PMTLU is a very narrow first in the SCAC coaches' preseason poll, with a single first-place vote separating them from McMurry.  Conference play begins October 11th.

• TLU(3) - 33
• McMurry(2) - 32
• Hendrix - 22
• Centenary - 18
• Austin - 12
• Lyon - 9

6 ballots 21 points per ballot (6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21 pts) = 126 points

33 +32 + 22 + 18 + 12 + 9 = 126

This does not add up. Ron is right. Someone did not tally the 6th non TLU/McM 1st place vote correctly.

1) TLU (3) 33. 6+6+6+5+5+5 = 33
2) McM (2) 32. 6+6+5+5+5 Oops! There are no more 2nd places votes to cast. (My guess is 31 points, 6+6+5+5+5+4)


And then you get 3) Hx  23  6+4+4+3+3+3 is what you have left if you calculate TLU, CC, AC and Lyon first.

4) CC  18. 4+4+3+3+2+2
5) AC  12. 4+3+2+1+1+1
6) Lyon 9. 2+2+2+1+1+1

I agree.  FLO Sports won't change my viewing habits favorably for D3.

Quote from: Ralph Turner on August 14, 2025, 12:25:55 PMOne looks at the changes and the one that strikes me most impressively is the Presidents AC. The PAC added Thomas More for the 2025 season to give 7 teams.

Adding Hiram this year gives 12 and St Francis PA in 2026 gives 13.

typo TMC joined PAC in 2005 and left in 2018

Thanks. I was acknowledging the growth of the conference from a Pool B contender to a conference that might go to divisions.

There was an intra-mural Girls' Flag Football game played each spring at my high school back in the 1960's (in Texas, of course).

That will be a fun sport to watch.

This must be a "money game" for Cisco JUCO.

BSC, thanks for staying.
 I continued to run the poll during McM's dalliance in D2, 2012-2014.

Coach Mumme can attract excellent QBs and receivers to the program.

I heartily recommend the book Pass Perfect, about the air raid offense with Coaches Mumme and Mike Leach.

Forgive me the diversion on this conversation, but it is the off-season when we are waiting.

Having significant familial ties to Auburn thru my two daughters (War Eagle), we look forward to the Monday podcast of SEC Shorts, an absolutely creative parody site that is so good, one even has to laugh as how steadily they skewered your own favorite school.

I share with you their most recent production, which will strike responsive chords on this forum.

Let's have a pre-season poll, weekly polls in the regular season and a final poll after the playoffs.

Glad you are picking it back up! Thanks. Didn't want it to die.

Thanks.

I hope you will continue to vote. Your insight and comments are greatly considered.
