For those who feel the perpetual conference realignment stirring in their brain cells... Region 3 still consists of:

ASC
ODAC
SAA
SCAC
USAC

...right? Need a little confirmation these days!

Hendrix-ETBU turned into a nail biter with ETBU holding off Hendrix after a late Hendrix TD, successful on-side kick, and missed field goal by Hendrix.

Brutal way for the Warriors to go down after dominating the first half. Gutsy calls by Coach Buchanan to try to give them the win (2 pt conversion was wide open but came up short), just couldn't be executed. Solid signs of life from this very young team -- just need to put a complete game together.

I'm interested in seeing if Southwestern regains the competitiveness it had developed before it headed to the Wild Wild West of the ASC...

Have any renderings been released for the new on-campus stadium complex in Georgetown?

Feeling pretty good about the direction of Hendrix these days, given all the uncertainty surrounding small liberal arts colleges lately. Hendrix recently completed a $150 million fundraising campaign a year ahead of schedule (after surpassing an original goal ahead of schedule the year before). Add that to the largest incoming class in 7 years after 3 straight years of growth and I feel like I can breathe a little easier. The newly announced incoming president comes from MTSU and Tulsa and is the parent of student-athlete at a liberal arts college, so I think this new era will continue that healthy respect for athletics, too (I hope).

finally catching up here. solid performance by Trinity on behalf of the SAA. They are no doubt a Top 5 team and have earned every one of their accolades this year.

This week's games

Excited for BSC-Trinity this week. Aside from the ODAC battle of unbeatens, it seems to be the only blockbuster in the region.

Very interested to see if Hendrix can dispatch Millsaps and if Rhodes can hang with Berry.

Funny game.  UMHB was only up 10-7 on Austin after the first quarter (now 17-7 early Q2).

Austin switching to the triple seems like it will keep them around in some of these games.

honestly seems like an improvement for Hendrix after their last two games. hopefully they can turn a corner and make some noise in the league.

28-7 is the final in Arkansas. I really couldn't tell from the broadcast, but based on how short the kickoffs were going (even for D3), I'm inclined to think there was some wind that was causing issues. Hendrix was 0/3 on field goals with one blocked.

Trinity has got to figure out their passing game. Hopefully the key is getting back Austin Bertness, who hasn't played since the first game against Sul Ross. But right now, our pass game is limited to short catches and runs. Horn also hasn't looked himself in the pocket, despite the line giving him ample time. Secondary has some major things to look at after this week. Tons of penalties on both sides of the ball as well.

on another note from last weekend's games, can't say that i saw a Centre loss to Trine coming (although it looks like Trine is a solid team this year).

updated SAA postseason odds from Logan Hansen.

Just got home from the BSC-Huntingdon game.  For the first time in 4 years, Huntingdon took home the Wesley Cup, 38-35.  It was a back and forth game with Huntingdon getting the last score to take the victory.  It was a great crowd, BSC really needs to add on to our stadium. 

Congrats to Huntingdon, it's one hurt, but you guys earned it.

If I remember the stadium, there is "no room" on the "visitor's side" to add seating.

when I played there I remember there being a hill or berm one end zone side that folks could sit in near the home tailgate area...but maybe the track pushes it too far away to be worth posting up for an aerial view.

wow I had a lot of posts to catch up on! excited for this week in SAA play. Wheaton-Trinity is definitely the type of marquee game that should happen more often.

Final rankings

12. Trinity (up from 16)
18. Birmingham Southern (up from 19)
23. Randolph-Macon (down from 21)
RV. Huntingdon and Washington & Lee

Notable SAA Non-Conference Opponent Finishes (not mentioned above)
3. UW-Whitewater (no change, beat Berry 39-7)

almost looks like Trinity-UMHB looked like a semifinal or championship game... and that BSC and HSU should have been in...guess we can leave the dreaming for another day!

Really cool to see this. Well-deserved by all.
