Quote from: jknezek on November 10, 2026, 04:50:49 PMWhen I was at W&L I remember going to the Foxfield Races in Charlottesville every year. I never saw a horse, a jockey, or a race. Occasionally I heard the crowd from some part of the field I never seemed to find. I'm sure I was counted in the attendance though. Had a great time each year. Or at least I think I did. Not too sure about my junior year to be honest. I remember going, no idea how I got back to Lexington.

Don't worry.
When you go for Senate confirmation, we will have deleted this post. 

Quote from: Caz Bombers on November 10, 2026, 03:36:46 PMdon't we still have the issue that one D3 school cannot own and operate another? Would Marian drop athletics or go to the NAIA? Would Alvernia move to D2?

Might that be solved by administrative structure?
Are not all of the Concordias under one administrative structure?
Concordia TX, WI, OR, NE, etc. (Have any closed? ...on my phone)

Quote from: Tigerfan on November 10, 2026, 07:23:28 AMThe weather forecast for THE Game is looking good.  A look back at box scores for games with much less juice than this one show attendance of 10K - 12K.  Should be a big number for this one.  Its going to be quite a scene.  I assume the Richmond, Lynchburg & maybe Roanoke TV stations will have some people covering it.  Macon folks love filling their chartered buses for the trip out to H-S. 

As someone that used to actually "calculate" those attendance numbers, you can probably trust the Nigerian prince emailing you for money more than you can trust those attendance numbers.

Use a drone to get the attendance numbers, probably to the nearest 100.

Quote from: TLU05SA on November 09, 2026, 02:28:41 PMMaybe, maybe not. Who knows.

Had McMurry not been bought, we would know who is better based on a head-to-head matchup.

Chuckle, chuckle.

At least you are extremely likely to earn the Pool A bid from the SCAC. McMurry can follow you in the playoffs.
(I also think that your Commissioner is the best in D3.)

I will declare my #7 team on the Fan Poll early.

I make the case for McMurry (4-4 versus D3, 5-4 overall).

McMurry has beaten Southwestern (3-3,3-6), Huntingdon (7-2,6-0 and USAC Pool A), ETBU, HPU and Westgate Christian. They are at Schreiner on Saturday. The losses are to #17 Trinity 31-17, #7 HSU 48-17 (and led 10-7 at the half but "turnover-ed" the game away), #13 UMHB (14-26) and at Dubuque 5-4, 4-2 (where McM gave up 2 TDs in the last 6 minutes). Dubuque's losses are (RV) UW Stout, #5 UW Platteville, #12 Wartburg and  (RV)Coe.

In the Region, we can see the other teams in the Top 7 of the region being HSU, UMHB (ASC), Trinity and probably Berry in the SAA and H-SC and Randy Mac in the ODAC. Is TLU's resume stronger than McMurry's?

(Discussion encouraged)

HPU kept coming back in the 52-39 McM win.
McM is likely to finish 6-4 (5-4 against D3). They go to Schreiner next Sat.

Coach Neal has built the program steadily. They have 3 losses against Top 25 & gave up 2 TDs at Dubuque in the last 6 minutes to lose 35-28.

2)  UMHB      28   (2,2,2,3,3)
3)  Trinity   27   (2,2,3,3,3)
4T) Berry     16   (4,4,4,5,7)
4T) H-SC      16   (4,5,5,5,5)
6)  TLU       10   (4,6,6,7,7)
7)  RMC        5   (6,6,7,x,x)

RV) Millsaps   3   (6,7,x,x,x)

https://mcscots.com/news/2026/11/4/general-maryville-approved-as-saa-affiliates-for-football-softball-and-womens-golf-in-27-28.aspx

Edit:  notice this announcement as well as the SAA's says only and specifically the '27-'28 school year. 

Two years at a time. It is wise to re-consider in late 2028.

Quote from: MCScots2013 on November 01, 2026, 03:45:46 PMThat might be misleading. Many private colleges were at some point associated with a denomination more than just name-only like today. A Maryville closing, God forbid, would be vastly different from Liberty.

The Parable of the Fig Tree. Luke 13:6-9. If the fig tree bears no fruit, cut it down.

If one reads the charters of the numerous Christian schools that have closed and the content of their "About" web pages over the previous few years, it becomes apparent. They stopped bearing fruit.

If Murvul gets the Pool A, might we see 4 Texas teams in the playoffs? HSU, UMHB, TLU & Trinity?

McMurry kicked a 47 yd FG at the end of the half. 

McMurry 38 ETBU 24 at the half.

ETBU kicked a 39yd FG with 10 yds to spare.
