Rematch. Has a nice ring to it.
For the second time in three years, West Texas A&M and Abilene
Christian collide in the NCAA Division II playoffs. In 2006, the Buffs and
Wildcats played a classic at Kimbrough Memorial, with WT scoring late in
regulation to tie the game, then winning 30-27 in overtime on Jon Roberts' field
goal.
Collums finalist for honor
From the ACU Website
ABILENE -- Abilene Christian University offensive coordinator Ken Collums has been named a finalist for the FootballScoop.com D2 Coordinator of the Year.

Collums is one of four Division II coordinators up for the award, joining Minnesota-Duluth defensive coordinator John Steger, Pittsburg State offensive coordinator Tim Beck and Chadron State defensive coordinator Todd Auer on the list.
Collums has directed the nation's top offensive unit each of the last two years, helping the Wildcats to a 20-3 record in that time frame. In their last 23 games, the Wildcats have scored 1,138 points (49.5 points per game) and racked up 12,522 yards of total offense (544.4 yards per game).
