Other TRU Bracket results in
No surprise that Denton advanced over Fort Sill, but 21-0 (3,3,0,0) is a pretty authoritative win. For the only interesting matchup, we got a referee writeup. UT Grads defeated Midland Maddogs: 29 (5,2,0,0) to 22 (4,1,0,0). Sounds like it was a good game.
Andy of the UT Grads reported the result in the comment to my previous post, which I didn't read until just now. I have to concur with him that we have heard a lot of great things about Stan Venable's work as the Men's DIII Secretary this year.
Andy points out that the DIII standings page has been updated now and shows that all DIII teams did end up playing 11 regular season games (I think Victoria folded, or forfeited a game, though I haven't seen anything official on that, only 3rd and 4th hand reports).
Denton vs. UT Grads: They've met once already, Denton 33 (5,4,0,0), UT Grads 8 (1,0,1,0). So, the odds are with the boys from Denton. But sounds like the Grads have some momentum after Midland. Call me biased, because I am, but I'm hoping the Grads pull an upset (because I like upsets. No offense, Ox).
Alamo City and Bay Area: Clear favorite here is Bay Area, who have defeated Alamo City twice this season, most recently on St. Patty's Day 36 (6,3,0,0) to 7 (1,1,0,0).
So far, things are playing out as seeded. Will Cookie's prediction of a Bay Area victory prove correct? Can the Grads or Alamo city upset? We'll find out April 14-15 at Burr Field in Austin. I'm tempted to drive down and watch.

I do not take offense to your comment Mr. Bloo...as I tend to pull for the underdog most of the time as well. But I am confident in our team and do feel that we'll win. We did take it to them pretty good when we traveled down to their pitch earlier this year. I don't recall seeing any member of their team over 210. It will be a good game, and I don't take anything away from them....but feel that on Sunday April 15th the TRU will see 13-0 BARC vs 13-0 Denton. Should be one hell of a match to watch and be part of.
I'm sure it will be a great game. Tempted to come and watch.
