Anyone else unable to steam the HPU game?

Yep, can't even get the live stats. Maddening.

What is the Temple radio station that does play by play for UMHB?

[UMHB03]

Try Brownwood's 94.3FM online. I'm able to catch some plays off and on when the broadcast isn't cutting out.

Too late but it is kmil 105.1.  Not sure why they don't have the listen live link on the schedule page anymore....

HSU's chance to host Trinity may come down to whether or not McMurry defeats TLU in the final game of the SCAC championships tonight.

HSU's chance to host Trinity may come down to whether or not McMurry defeats TLU in the final game of the SCAC championships tonight.

It made things close, but as of today's final calculations HSU's 69.097 (12th) will most likely send them to Trinity (69.356, 11th) in two weeks.

Do you recall how much impact the McM-TLU outcome had on respective HSU & TUTx NPI values between weeks 10 & 11?

The D3Datacast people said the opposite result would have made the difference about a point rather than the quarter point seen today.  Trinity's boost came from the result against Maryville that let them drop a lower valued result.

I would like to see an NPI iteration for UMHB with wins over a 5-5 McMurry, a 6-4 TLU and a 2-7 Austin College, giving UMHB an 8-2 record.

I asked Logan Hansen a similar question and he said if UMHB had played teams with a final NPI of greater then 40 (and won) we would have been over the bubble. Since McMurry and TLU are 52+ but Austin is 37 then I assume we would be dancing right now.

We are assuming that one more loss by McMurry and AC would have dropped each school sufficiently to fall off the bubble.

Dial settings that lean more into strength of schedule would have also gotten UMHB in: https://d3datacast.com/2025/11/17/how-does-changing-the-dials-change-the-2025-d3-football-playoff-field/

Yes it seems like every other setting gets us in  Wasn't that true last year as well when you experimented with our dial settings?

Yes, obviously they got in as it was but they only moved up in the Pool C rankings as the dial turned more to SOS: https://d3datacast.com/2024/11/19/changing-npi-dials-change-2024-d3-football-playoff-field/
