You’ve got it pretty good if you feel bad about a 12-2 season that included a trip to the semis.
Thanks for all the joy you bring and the community you foster

UMHB football beats Sul Ross.
Platteville beats Whitewater!
Cru women’s soccer beats hsu FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!
Cru men’s soccer beats hsu too!!
It’s a great day to be a Crusader!

I’ve been struggling to find the words to talk about Dr. Owens’ passing. Kerry was one of those special professors where the relationship didn’t end at the classroom. That man loved his family, his community, and his school so much. He said what he thought and was usually right.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard, “this is hsu’s year.” But then they get crushed by us anyway I could probably pay off my student loans

Honestly the thing that has me rooting for our Cru the hardest this year isn’t to win another natty (though I DO want that)
It’s just the fact that we have so many players who I’m not ready to see be finished. Some really fun players who have written their names into Cru history

Just because you have a platform doesn’t mean you have anything worthwhile to say.
Is playing D3 football impressive or are you just nuts?

Before anyone says, “Coach Pete would have never…” I want to remind y’all Coach Pete also lost us a game vs UWW in 2013 by overly conservative play calling.
We just didn’t execute on some big plays but that’s ok. We’re gonna learn & grow from this and kick tail in December

I’m very invested in the storyline where we start 0-3, but then still keep hsu out of the playoffs. Might even go on a run! 😅

I hope hsu is putting as much energy in trying to beat UMHB as they are complaining about their "snub."
College Football Preview 🏈
Despite a 9-1 record, Hardin-Simmons was snubbed from the D3 playoffs in 2021.
Their coach says the system is broken, and it's actually gotten worse. ⤵️

I’m gonna remain positive. I feel for Coach Harmon. It’s TOUGH to follow a legend. And people forget how many coaches left after Pete retired. That’s some serious brain drain.
But also I hope that UMHB is dedicated to maintaining a higher standard than that.

It’s always amazed me at how Coach Jack Johnson balances being a national championship winning college football coach with his successful beach vibe folk music career.
At any rate, congrats coach!

Kerry taught me about doing what you know is right even if others and “the system” is telling you no. He loved to buck the system. He was a real maverick and invested deeply in the people he came across. I happened to be one of those people and I’m deeply grateful for that

I don’t wanna hear about moral victories.
We’re 0-3 and that’s beyond unacceptable.

We’re getting the St Thomas treatment, but in reverse. (Everyone except us is leaving the conference)
Its time.
UMHB needs to move up to either D2 or FCS. If St. Thomas can find success I know we can too.

I really don’t wanna keep harping on this but… the crowd is WORSE than last night.
@UMHB
this is a problem. Our athletes deserve so much better. And you can’t tell me it’s just because we’re a small school. Once upon a time we would pack Mayborn for big games like this.

I don’t think it’s a hot take to say this is the worst team in 20+ years. (Or at least since 08 when I first started watching.)
Coach Harmon has some questions to answer this season. I believe he can, but we’ve gotta see improvement soon because it’s not getting any easier

Really don’t think framing this as 1 QB out dueling the other is accurate. Both were phenomenal. The game was won by the Warhawk O Line out bullying the Cru D Line IMO.
No. 6 UW-Whitewater pulled off the upset of No. 1 Mary Hardin-Baylor with outstanding play from QB Evan Lewandowski, who barely outdueled an equally impressive performance from Kyle King.

The streams never worked and they ended up having to put them on YouTube for free. Finally they literally gave up and quit trying. Rights went back to Peacock for this year because they weren’t up to the task for a major pro championship.

We brought on
@andyarchibald
to have a fantasy draft of the greatest Cru football players of all time... or at least our favorites.
Be on the look out for the new episode soon!
Dudes can literally just sit around and name old sports players and just have the best time.

I still have NO clue how good this team is. We seem to be very inconsistent. I absolutely think we can go get our 4th natty, but I also wouldn’t be shocked if we lost next week.
Either way it’s been a fun ride so let’s just keep it going! One week at a time.

One of the greatest things about lower level football is the lack of constant prolonged ad breaks. If you watch enough you'll realize how much the ads disrupt the natural flow of the game for FBS.
