I hope that Lyon and Centenary have been happy with the progress seen in their programs in year #2. I am sorry that the Lyon Greenville game was canceled due to weather conditions. Year #3 should be better with the players being 1 year older.

#1 and #2 is obviously important but I am more concerned with the tie breakers for 4-6. Most people would assume TLU will beat Lyon but if Austin can beat Centenary, will AC & Centenary be forced to play a 3rd time and in back-to-back weeks?

Yup. Straight 1v2, 3v4, 5v6.

McM 34 Hendrix 28.
McM had 2 FGs and their kicker/punter, Jax Rodriguez, also buried on the Hdx 4yd with a punt in the last 2 mins of the 4thQ

Rodriguez for POTW!

Congrats McMurry on your conference championship.

I want to put in a plug for McM's Jax Rodriguez for All-SCAC Kicker.

He was 34-36 on PAT's and 11 for 15 on FG's with a long of 44.
For McMurry with Jax, you get into the Red Zone, and you can almost count on 3 points.

Texas Lutheran dedicated its new Verne Lundquist Student Athletic Center last Saturday, and the great man himself was present for the ribbon cutting ceremony. The nearly 10,000 square foot facility features a conditioning and weight room, locker rooms, and a visitor center showcasing Lundquist's sports memorabilia collection.

Austin College named Dr. Rebecca Cantor, currently Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Spring Hill [AL] College, as their 17th president. She will begin her term in July 2026; current president Steven O'Day will continue in the role until his retirement in May 2026. Prior to her arrival at Spring Hill, Dr. Cantor was at Savannah School of Arts and Design, where she served as department chair, professor of English and Assistant Provost. Dr. Cantor will also serve as Professor of English at Austin.

As she has never served at a school with a football program, it remains to be seen how her arrival will impact the 'Roo program, and 'Roo athletics in general.

Springhill's athletics are very much a mixed bag. Women's Volleyball is pretty good, as are a couple other women's sports. The men's team sports aren't great. But nothing that would imply a lack of support, just nothing that implies the admin is going out of the way to prioritize them either.
