One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far, and hopefully we don't need to see it much, but the punting game was on point.  #87 boomed a 46-51 yarder, and #36 hit one 48 yards to pin them on the 2.

Also, one thing that was really noticeable over the last few years is we were playing way more disciplined.  Even with all of the unsportsmanlike penalties on UANL our guys never really retaliated.  There were way fewer dumb penalties than we've had the last few years.

Also, not sure how I missed it, but it looks like Kaden Brown left LA Tech back in April and ended up at Trinity Valley Community College?

Quote from: UMHB03 on August 20, 2025, 08:27:03 PMAny word if either scrimmage is going to be streamed?

The Mexican schools usually stream on facebook or youtube I think.

Sounds like there will be some sort of broadcast, not sure what though:

Quote from: Ron Boerger on August 20, 2025, 07:15:54 AMCan't blame anyone for wanting to get off the field before the heat of the day kicks in.

Oh I get it. Definitely better than the 1pm kickoff that the ASC seems to love... Just evening stuff is easier to get up there to watch!

I was thinking along similar lines. Was he talking first born or goats?
 

I feel that as a UMHB grad, I'm obligated to only accept the heads of cowboy mascots

Quote from: Ron Boerger on August 14, 2025, 10:43:10 PMTrinity posted their 2025 roster this evening.  40 freshman; the only addition to the numbers posted in May is an eighth WR.  Jonathan Martin, a WR, returns after sitting out the 2024 season, and Jack Lugo, a LB, returns for the first time since the 2022(!) season.  5 transfers: sophomores Judson Crockett, a 6'0" DB (TCU); Dorien Hill, a 6'1" LB (UMHB) who had the game-sealing INT in the the playoff game last year; Jack Kayser, a 5'9" RB (West Point); Jackson Runyan, a 6'2" K (Navy).  The D1 players saw no playing time last season.  Junior Brett Harwell, a 6'2" OL (UMHB - DNP) also transferred.  Finally, Trinity adds fifth-year 6'0" TE Jax Crockett, who as best as I can determine last played football at Austin Westlake HS in 2020.  That adds up to 123, small compared to many D3 schools but typical of Urban coached teams.

In addition to the 20 losses to graduation, the Tigers had 14 players who did not return - 1 freshman, 11 sophs, 2 juniors.  The biggest loss is probably WR Will Taylor, who as a junior led the school in receiving (41 receptions, 610 yards, 4 TDs) and also saw some time returning punts with 1 TD against Hendrix.  Taylor went in the transfer portal and, at least as far as Xitter is concerned, still sits there.  The only other significant loss was Jackson Barry, a LB who had 29 tackles as a soph and is now at Stetson.

Kayser was a pretty dang good running back at Westlake!

Quote from: BLynn on August 12, 2025, 10:36:34 PMI follow the ARC more than any other D3 league, but am curious about the future of the four football schools in the ASC. I haven't seen any info on potential additions nor where any of the four are looking to land. Can someone shed some light on this for me. Thanks

Back in March it was announced that McMurry and Schreiner entered into an agreement to join the ASC for at least 10 heads starting in 2026.

10 heads is pretty steep to join a conference haha

Autocorrect haha!

Quote from: Ron Boerger on August 11, 2025, 05:04:22 PMA lawsuit has been filed in federal court accusing 32 elite colleges of conspiring to inflate prices through the early decision process.  The list encompasses primarily well-known Division III schools: Amherst College, Barnard College, Bowdoin College, Brown University, Bryn Mawr College, Carleton College, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Emory University, Haverford College, Johns Hopkins University, Macalester College, Middlebury College, Mount Holyoke College, Northwestern University, Oberlin College, Pomona College, Rice University, Smith College, Swarthmore College, Trinity College, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, Vanderbilt University, Vassar College, Washington University in St. Louis, Wellesley College, Wesleyan University, and Williams College.  Also named as defendants, in what the complaint calls an "early decision conspiracy," are the Consortium on Financing Higher Education, an organization of highly selective colleges that shares information on admissions and financial aid, along with the Common Application and Scoir Inc., two college admissions platforms used by the schools.

Since I was bored, I updated my app that scrapes the rosters for all (I think) D3 football teams... It generates some pretty cool stats on new/gone players if the names don't change.  It isn't perfect and doesn't really know if the team hasn't updated their roster, or the page doesn't exist, it'll just mark the entire team gone haha.

Only ETBU has updated their roster in the ASC so far...

Eventually I'll try to update it to generate a per-conference google sheet...

Quote from: Ron Boerger on August 08, 2025, 11:35:49 AMIt does look like Dorien Hill is going to Trinity as his Xitter profile now says Linebacker 🐯 - if not Trinity then one of the couple dozen Tiger mascot schools.

Only school I saw he officially visited was East Central University in Oklahoma, so I think that may be where he ended up. Rooting for him obviously, but man what a shame we couldn't work something out to keep him here.

East Central has recruited quite a few  kids from the asc. Kj peoples and myles Featherstone played a good bit last year. I think that was where Kenneth Cormeir was going to go too.

Quote from: Crubacker on August 07, 2025, 07:19:41 PMWhen does UMHB report for football?

I think they already have. Monday is start date for school.

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

Maybe Coach Lee hooking us up. He was hc there in 2023.
