Quote from: CC United on Yesterday at 05:46:18 PMOne game to watch is Trinity University (Texas) v. Clairmont Muddy Scripts, Friday 8/29/2025 at 8:00 p.m. CST.  It's Coach Paul McGinlay v. his long time assistant Ed Cartee. Cartee has done a great job bringing CMS into the national picture and Trinity has always been there. The game will be played at Trinity and the video production will be top shelf. Don't miss it.

Also, Trinity play the University of St. Thomas on Sunday at 6:00 at Trinity. The game is always spicy and will tell us a lot about what type of team USTR has this year. 

This to me, is the game.

Watching the Battling Bishops of OWU in a very early pre-season scrimmage against Ohio Dominican... I think ... This is a different looking OWU team than from previous years.  I think they will surprise some people.

Quote from: SKUD on August 19, 2025, 01:54:44 PMAre any of the other schools in the conference good at any sport?  Why does Stevens stay?

Misericordia women's soccer is very good. Del Val football is pretty good. Not sure about other sports.  Stevens used to be in the Empire 8 conference and prior to that the Skyline conference, both worse than the MAC Freedom.  Maybe they should join the NESCAC 

With Trinity being relegated to Division IV, there is an opening ...

Quote from: Hopkins92 on June 22, 2025, 08:36:03 AM1) I was surprised SC didn't follow up on the Grad Transfer point, because Coach A specifically made a point that the new players # was strictly referring to freshmen. I'm assuming he has at least 2 or 3 because, yes, that has become a distinct part of his team-building strategy lately.

2) The mad scientist aspect included the PKs, but also that he would look at a player and put them in positions they had never been in before. He's taken CBs and put them at FWD and vice versa. So, not just the PK thing.

Re: the transfers... I find this to be a sensitive subject with coaches.  Think the impression is that it is an artificial way of making you better.  I would just let the game speak for itself.

And yes, the PKs aren't the only things he experiments with.  He is pretty unique and looks to make everything better, no matter how unconventional it may appear.
