WT Football

[WT_TKW]

21-17 PB at the half. WT benefitted from a PB defender pursuing Gerber after losing his helmet. A 15 yard penalty and automatic first down was negated by Harris swatting back at a defender. Instead of relying on the punter Hughes tried a trick play on something like 4th and 12. It fooled no one, however for the first time in the game, the WT defense stood up and stopped the Falcons.

WT marched down to the 1/2 yard line, only to suffer another unsportsmanlike penalty, which sent the ball back to the 15 1/2 yard line with 5 seconds left in the half. Gage Urias, who has done all the place kicking in the game, despite the box score, made it easily.

Another nice drive by PB, they lead 21-14. The WT defense shows no signs of stopping them.

14 all, thanks to a circus catch by JEREMIE KARNGBAYE!

[WT_TKW]

14-7 Falcons. A short pass by the QB, but the WT defenders appeared to have their helmets on backwards for the long run. A 3 play drive.

[WT_TKW]

7-7 on a 1 yard run by Harris, who is looking good, as is Gerber.

[WT_TKW]

WT took the opening kickoff and got a couple of first downs, then punted for 21 yards (kicking is not important in the Hughes era). PB went on a 7+ minute drive of 60 yards to go ahead 7-0.

Some of the LSC football schools are getting ready to move out because they see the conference office as leaning toward the demands of the non football schools who are in the majority. This was predictable and expected, just not this quick. It was 9-9 but Tarleton leaving changed all of that.

I am hearing talk about either a merger or several schools coming back to the LSC and having a North/South super conference.

We'll see.

Okay great, so where do the football schools go then? This is the discussion, it doesn't matter why they would leave, just where they would go. Again, I don't care what happens, just speculating that WT could easily join the RMAC without much trouble due to their proximity to many of the current RMAC members.

If your theory is correct, RMAC instititions will be looking at greener grass as well, no? Anything's possible, right?

It is possible indeed, as soon as each of them triples enrollment and wins power ball :) maybe next year.

I'm not saying it is. But I'm assuming 2-3 years ago you didn't see OU joining the SEC. If so, good on you and you're a smart guy so maybe you were in the know, but things can quickly change. I don't personally care what the LSC does, I like the football played in the conference, and the people on here associated with the teams....but you never know. Look at the GNAC and the predicament they're in. We also know that the majority of America is the sort that the grass is greener and schools are looking at moving up a la Tarleton. No dog in the fight, just discussing future possibilities.

Can anything happen??? Of course (i.e. Joe Biden is president) so, yes. ANYTHING can happen. But, folding a conference with 18 member institutions is not one of them.

Will some LSC teams move up,, down,, or sideways? Probably at some point.

FYI, I didn't know about OU, but I did Texas. Been in the works for several years.

The LSC is NOT crumbling...lmao.

Don't you see the trend? Every time things change in the LSC, the sky is falling and the LSC is folding. But we all know that the majority of human kind are optimistic! 70707070707

Well, this is a football forum so the 27 people that watch D2 softball can rejoice but if the LSC were to crumble then a solution for WT should likely already be known, not figured out at the last minute.

Well, Well who's looking at saying "the LSC is dying", the mighty Aggies! What do the other posters of the LSC say? Poor WT, DII softball National Champs, National Runner Up DII mens basketball, track & field All-Americans, ect. Yea, everyone is feeling sorry for us (and wished they had our record).

WT is in a pickle.

Their current conference is dying.

Their plans to move to the Big 12 has lost its appeal since they scared off OU and UT.

Being a D2 independent is a problem since some of the conferences play silo schedules. Where will they find teams to play?

Having spent all that money on a big, fancy stadium (which I am happy to see), they can't just drop football. Again.

Their other options are the D3/NAIA route. I suspect they are testing the waters.
