Game Day: Trinity v Judson [UPDATE]

And this must be what blog-tailgating is like.

All of the writers at the hometown paper are picking the good guys. But more importantly, Tim McMahon is calling the game 28-10 Trinity. Here's hoping they're all correct. Randy Jennings also notes that Trinity is staying overnight in San An, rather than bus in on gameday. Apparently, that might be one of the things to blame for the team's loss in Odessa.

This StartleGram report captures Coach Lineweaver, once again, putting me in an 80s frame of mind:

"We're kind of prisoners to our success. There's some great offenses in the spread and I admire what they do. Sometimes it's not how fancy you get, it's just doing whatever you do and doing it well. Coach [John] Reddell, when he was here years ago, would say, 'It's not the plays, it's the attitude that you run.' So our kids are running our stuff with a good attitude."

Reddell was the coach back in my days as a student. Maybe I was just more fond of him since he didn't cut me from the baseball team my sophomore year, as Lineweaver did. I swear - I think I'm almost over it now.

Another StartleGram article covers the sendoff the team got, while the Football Review revives the standard "Lineweaver is retiring" rumors that go along with his trips to the championship game. From the DMN, Ted Madden has the video.

The New Braunfels paper puts in an egregious - and easy reviewable - error in their report:

It's been 15 years since Judson and Euless Trinity last met in a state final.

Um, we actually won our first championship in 2005 against ... Converse Judson. The column centers on the writers conversation with Clint Rutledge, the QB of the 1992 team that beat us in the Championship game.

That's it for now ... kickoff @ 2pm.

UPDATE ... Good guys win. Two outta three ain't bad.
