Well this is horrible news. It's been foggy the last few mornings. Praying for TLU community and all the families involved

Centre came to play early. Up 13-0 at Berry

Trinity blew it. I'm pissed on the performance

Defense was stout. Did their job. End of story.

Offense laid an egg, which was my worry going into the game.

Tigers basically gave them the game and tempo due to special team blunders. Botched punt return which lead to Maryville's first score. Then a Missed extra point, then blocked FG, etc...not to throw out the 3-4 interceptions Trinity threw (1 being a pick 6), all which lead to the inevitable loss.

Maryville was by far the most disappointing and disrespectful team I've seen in years come to San Antonio with their post game theatrics. Godspeed you Scotts... you don't want to see Trinity in a different setting with the starting QB and lack of errors

Just saying. It's over on to the next one

Quote from: tigerguy on September 12, 2026, 07:48:44 PMIs Tavarez hurt for Trinity? Have not seen him. Huge loss for the offense if he is out

Was in street clothes tonight.  I've heard he was hurt and they are gradually bringing him back.

He's a threat. Hope to see him soon!

Quote from: Ralph Turner on December 13, 2025, 08:20:15 PMThe loss leaves an incredibly bad taste in the Vikings' mouths.
Woe to SAA opponents in 2026.

They lose a *lot* to graduation - a very senior-laden squad.

EDIT:  I looked at today's starting roster - 8 seniors/grad students on defense, 8 seniors/grads on offense, K is a senior.

I don't care how good you are, but 7 TOs doesn't bold well when trying to win a game, much less a quarters playoff matchup. Still interesting to see what the verdict was on the onside kick Berry couldn't review.berry should have put Hunter in at QB much earlier! Mind boggling.

Yea like Ron says, it may leave a bad taste, but majority of the guys who played for Berry this year can't do anything about it because they graduate.

SAA will be even tougher next year. They Already positioned themselves in the top 3 conferences of D3. Plus Trinity loses 2-3 starters on offense and 1-2 on defense. Backs up all got tons of reps because they didn't leave the starters well into the 4qt like some other teams
 

Happy to see Caleb Bayer, Trinity, earn 1st Team All American on the AFCA awards! Also, former Tiger BJ Stewart (UMHB) was recognized as the 1st Team AA Returner. Go Tigers!

Not sure why HSUs back up RB is hitting the portal. Noah graduates and has the keys to be the man and leaves. Head scratcher 

They had a chance but just served up 22 point lead at half this year and the rally was bit too late, even though they almost pulled off the unthinkable. Hope Berry can rep well since ncaa put all 5 R3 teams in the same pod and 4/5 in the same sub-bracket. We had a Rematch of Berry and La Grange which came down to the wire. Then the Annual rematch of Trinity vs ASC (HSU), which came down to the wire....and then the Rematch of SAA in Round 3 which came down to the wire. Uhhh, oh and poor R-MC didn't rep well. Now it's on Georgia to hold down the fort.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on December 07, 2025, 03:59:41 PMA devastatingly ****ty weekend for Trinity athletics.  As previously noted, the women VBers lost in the Final Four, the football team lost, and today the men's soccer team suffers a tying goal with FOUR SECONDS LEFT and then, understandably crushed, lose the championship to #1 Tufts in OT.

I was sad when I checked in on the men's soccer score and saw it happen in OT. Stinks we lost but still made it to the natty, at least!

Ladies soccer dropped in OT this year in the playoffs too. Throw in the Volleyball losing in the final 4, to the national champs, and with football stubbing their toe, I'm still happy to see so many Tiger sport programs at Trinity be on the national stage and competing deep into their respective brackets.

Men's BBall is ranked and doing well too! So is cross country. Interesting to see how Trinity ranks across the board for fall sports. True "Student" athletes

Wish for football sake, that the committee wouldn't have thrown all of R3 into the same pod, with 4/5 in one sub bracket. Would've been neat to see how the region matched up against other regions.

Quote from: Cowboy2 on December 06, 2025, 02:18:13 PMThis is the most annoying announcer I've listened to all year.... twice now for that matter. I need to buy him a "Hooked on Phonics" class. It's not "scrannel" and it's not "treveris"

Like sound it out man! The other guys isn't bad.

He gets so emotional anytime Berry has a play it hurts my ears because they never fixed their microphone issue.

He's insufferable. I hope he's a student and graduates soon.

Sack. 40 yard down field completion. Gash the D for a 25 yard run. 50 yard FG. John Ward "Give Him 6!" tagline. Acceptable moments to get animated. This guy yells every time a Berry player farts without ruining their white game pants.

He's not a student unless he's Van Wilder. I've heard him a few years now and think he's called all 3 of the most recent regular season games vs Trinity plus the playoffs

That's some BS... I don't understand the refs calls. He should have caught it the first time. It was ruled a catch then incomplete. Whatever.

We Started too late and gifted them a 22 pt lead. Piss pour special teams made this an uphill battle or it may not be a game if we don't fumble the ball twice on 1st down conversion plays. Defense has done well but was on the field too long

Quote from: MCScots2013 on November 08, 2025, 02:26:05 PMThese Berry guys are almost unbearable to listen to. You'd think everyone on the roster craps gold the way they call the game. Centre and Trinity have much better guys in the box.

They also need to invest in a new microphone. Hurt my ears listening to it. Had to mute the game eventually. You can also hear all of the coaches in the box the whole time which ruins the broadcasting.
