D1 #5 Indiana (9-3-1) beats D3 Hanover (9-3-2), 8-0.

Austin College 1 - Colorado College 0 12' left in first half
Hendrix 1 - UST 0 at half

and 1 more for good measure

Schreiner 1 - Concordia 0 at half

FINAL:  Hendrix 1 - St. Thomas 0

St. Thomas outshot Hendrix 17-3, but a combination of strong Hendrix goalkeeping and poor shooting made a 27th minute Hendrix goal stand up.  And Hendrix keeps moving up the standings and St. Thomas keeps dropping.

FINAL:  Schreiner 2 - Concordia TX 0

Schreiner only won 3 games all season coming into this game and Concordia just came back from a dramatic 1-1 tie against Colorado College.  So, naturally, Schreiner wins 2-0.  They did have help because Concordia went down a man due to a red card in the 61st minute, but Schreiner was already up 1-0 at that point and added an insurance goal in the 87th that you could probably attribute to Concordia chasing the game down a man.  The SCAC conference standings is getting jumbled tonight!  I'll update after the Colorado College - Austin game.

I have read the last couple pages and want to respond to a couple items; the issue of players (QBs or other positions) that "deserve to play" or "would have played" if it weren't for a better player (D1 transfer or anyone else for that matter) are playing with fire......as a former coach that was fortunate to coach in two Stagg Bowls and 4 consecutive semifinals or better I learned the hard way that starting/playing time for all positions needs to be/should be determined based on whether or not that player could start in the Stagg Bowl against North Central/Mount Union and perform at a level high enough to help his team win the National Championship.  That level of qualitative player analysis doesn't add weight to a player's year in school or whether or not "he's a good guy and put in his time"......Both Erdmann and Syverson, while transfers, were heavily recruited by SJU prior to their one year attempts at the FBS.  Neither one of those two was a 1 year "hired gun" as somewhat insinuated by the people questioning SJU's QB room.  I would also point out one of the most obvious issues of college football at all levels in 2025......NO ONE wants to be the backup QB on any roster, EVERYONE believes they are good enough to be the starter.  Few are willing to work and develop and those that do are star performers.


On the issue of running game production vs throwing the ball 50x game.........offensive line architecture and their performance determines the balance or lack of it for an offense.  Last season's line with a healthy Caden Wheeler would have significantly altered the passing emphasis with Aaron needing to throw 50x game late in the season.

Just wondering...does UWW have any receivers taller than 5'9"?

Quote from: Freddyfud on Yesterday at 07:13:06 PMBeen meaning to ask for awhile.  Is there a reason Friday nights seem to have many region X contests?  And are there any good ones tonight?

The SCAC is the Region X conference that regularly plays on Fridays. They are a big conference (12 schools this year), so there are always a lot of games. 

The reason they play on Fridays is because Texas is really big and most teams aren't close enough to each other to allow for mid-week games.  Moreover, in many cases they are too far away to easily play games two days in a row considering travel time between locations. As a result, they play Friday-Sunday games in the SCAC.  For example, last weekend Texas Lutheran played at Colorado College on Friday, presumably flying out of San Antonio airport (3 hours if they got a direct flight, longer if they stop in Dallas), and then flew back to Dallas on Saturday to play University of Dallas on Sunday, before completing the trip from Dallas to San Antonio.  Tonight, Hendrix plays at University of St. Thomas in Houston, which is about a 7-8 hour drive, and then has a four hour drive to Shreveport on Saturday to play Centenary on Sunday early afternoon before making the 3.5 hour drive back to Hendrix on Sunday after the game. 

There are also occasional ASC games on Fridays, but it's not very common because those schools will never play on Sunday for religious reasons so it either has to be a one-off game or a Friday-Saturday pairing (meaning it will only work if the schools are reasonably close together).

They happen in the NWC every so often too because every school has a travel/hosting partner.  If all four schools are close together, they choose Friday-Sunday, or if one pair has to travel far, they sometimes choose Friday-Sunday to get that day off in-between.  The most common pattern, however, is Saturday-Sunday.

Tonight, Hendrix v. St. Thomas might be the most interesting game since they are tied for 5th in the SCAC.  St. Thomas is coming off 2 losses and Hendrix is coming off 2 wins.  Colorado College at Austin College also might be interesting.  Austin knocked off St. Thomas last weekend, but then was crushed by Centenary.  Maybe they get up for the big opponents?

Quote from: laker4141 on Yesterday at 02:41:26 PMGood performance from the Maroons on Wednesday against a physical NP team. I cannot help but look ahead to next Friday's fixture featuring the Maroons at Emory!

CMU and Wash U will also be a sneaky good game this weekend. Love this time of year.

CWRU is also hoping UChicago is looking forward to Emory! 😀

2 more guys listed on the updated Trine MBB 2025-26 roster consisting of a couple more freshmen not known about:

Braeden Totton 6'1 G Hamilton Southeastern HS, Fishers IN (known offers from Wabash, DePauw, Hanover)
Ty Maul 6'2 G Darby HS, Hilliard OH (more than likely a guy with a Marietta offer, but don't know for sure)

Both will probably split time with JV and Varsity.  This makes 17 guys currently listed on the Varsity roster.

In other news with Trine, assistant coach Ed Bentley has left the program to become the head basketball coach at East Noble HS in Kendallville IN.  Former Trine standout Brent Cox will join Ed as an assistant coach back at his alma mater.  Trine recently hired Alex Trevino as an assistant coach.  Alex spent the last 6 years as an assistant coach at Wilmington College.

No Liberty League Game Predictions this week? That's understandable because for the first time in Liberty League football history there are NO games scheduled involving LL teams! That's right, all 8 LL teams are on a bye week. Liberty League football started in 2004 and there has never been a week when at least one member team wasn't playing, not even OOC. (yes, I checked)
