Despite juggling with Texas State, coach G.J. Kinne has UIW ready for FCS quarterfinals
G.J. Kinne, recently hired by Texas State, watches his Incarnate Word team practice on Thursday. Kinne says he has unfinished business at UIW, which plays in the FCS quarterfinals on Friday at Sacramento State.Less than 24 hours after Incarnate Word secured its first FCS quarterfinals berth with a win against Furman, coach G.J. Kinne was making the rounds at Texas State.
Following the Cardinals’ final walk through Wednesday before a Thursday travel day, Kinne again made the drive up to San Marcos for his introductory news conference. Kinne said he’s taken the approach of “trying to be where my feet are,” throwing his full focus on the task at hand without letting responsibilities at the other program creep in.
Receiver Taylor Grimes said a few of the Cardinals have felt “a little extra sore” this week following the “grinder of a game” against Furman — a 41-38 win Saturday in Benson Stadium that was in doubt until UIW scored the game-winning touchdown with less than two minutes to play. Jake Dunniway is the more traditional passing threat, averaging 182.4 yards per game with 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Asher O’Hara offers a run-first look, carrying 189 times for an average of 70.8 yards per game with 19 touchdowns while completing 67 of 88 passes for 59.6 yards per game with 10 scores and no interceptions.“Coach Patke has done a really good job of separating two different offenses,” Kinne said.

Same-sex couples wary despite federal marriage rights billMary and Sharon Bishop-Baldwin were jubilant after winning a decadelong fight for the right to wed in Oklahoma. While they're happy that Congress is moving swiftly to ensure nationwide recognition of same-sex and interracial marriages, they — like many in LGBTQ communities — are frustrated it's even necessary after so many years and are unsure whether it's enough. “The very fact we're even having these conversations is really disheartening to me,' especially given a dramatic shift in public opinion over the past decade, with polls showing 70% of U.S. adults now favor same-sex marriage rights, said Sharon Bishop-Baldwin, 54.
