nephew just committed to d-3 hardin simmons and is going to sign with them in the next couple of weeks. he turned down a few d-2 offers and a preferred walk-on at SMU (70k/year - yeah, you can shove your preferred walk-on offer up your @#%). anyway, just wondering what you guys think of hardin simmons. apparently, he just liked it a lot better than anywhere else he visited and it's only a few hours from home.

Had a guy who was a graduate assistant with me at ECU that played there. He had nothing but great things to say about it.

I'm about an hour east of Abilene. A lot of our teachers and coaches went to school there. In fact, one of our coaches played football there and his now wife played volleyball there. I've heard good things. I just hope you're nephew is acclimated to the Bible Belt.

I might be mistaken, but I want to say they have to log so many hours at chapel each week. If it is the same school I am thinking of you have to swipe a your student i.d. and it keeps track of how long you were in there.

Hardin Simmons is a good school. I went to Howard Payne. HPU was cheaper but I will say that the school at HSU is beautiful.

Not really my thing so then went to Angelo State (found out there is a huge difference between a D3 and D2 athlete). HSU is a pretty decent place. Football use to be really good, not sure anymore. A lot of my relatives graduated from HSU and they really liked it.

I know that chapel at HPU was 2x a week. Monday and Wed. You had to take 6 semesters of chapel at HPU. I think that HSU is the same.

yeah, i don't think chapel attendance is his concern. he thinks he can be a 3 or 4 year starter there, so i think that was the big factor for him...that, and being close to home in the panhandle.

From what I know they did play good football there, especially for a D3 school. I played against them in 1997 at Langston and they whipped us good, to the tune of 54-0. Like I said they were pretty good back then, I have no clue on how they are now.

UMHB is the best college program in Texas

UMHB is the best college program in Texas UMHB? I guess it depends on what you base your "best" on. If it's actual football talent, then you are wrong....they would get smoked by all the D1 schools in the state. I knew some guys that played at HSU, and the only negative I could see was they had a very hard time passing their teaching cert tests.

They win more than any program in Texas.

They are D3....not even comparable. If they are the "best college program in Texas", why don't they schedule the Big 12 schools? Where are all the NFL prospects? Why don't you hear about them outside of the Temple/Belton/Killeen area? They are probably the best college program for small school kids with rich families.
