I will try to keep everyone up to date with the fortunes of our three Australians currently playing Div 1 football. You can find their details on the Gridiron Australia website under Aussie Alumni.
Hawaii (Adrian Thomas OT) defeated by #5 Florida 56-10. Adrian Thomas was in on a successful field goal in the fourth quarter. Next opponent Weber State @ home. Likely will play significant playing time in the second half.
#14 Kansas (Nathan D'Cunha OT) defeated Florida International 40-10. Next opponent Louisiana Tech @ home.
Marshall (Stuart Lips SS) defeated Illinois State 35-10. Next opponent @ #11 Wisconcin.

I thought Nathan got picked up by Baylor? Did he transfer or was the release wrong?

I think you will find that he was orginally offered by Baylor but a change of staff there led to him looking elsewhere. Arguably Kansas is a much better school even if the competition for position is much tougher.

Hawk, The scores are all fine and dandy, but we can get those on ESPN.com. How are the players themselves doing? Any contact with them? Any stories to share?

Olderdan,
Stuart Lips is hovering between the practice squad and third string at Marshall. Looking to make an impact on special teams to start off with.
Nathan had a shoulder injury in Fall camp and but is now back and entrenched on the second team but my info here is a few weeks old. The two starting offensive tackles for Kansas are Sophomores so his playing time may depend on injury or serious drops in form. I will find out what sort of game time he is getting.
Adrian headed off to Oakland today to prep for the Fresno State game. The Warriors have struggled replacing their starting Qb and 4 Wr's. The offense is not scoring and instead turning the ball over. Adrian is the #2 Right tackle and has been in on PAT this year but without any blow out victories he hasn't seen playing time yet. The numer #1 Right Tackle is a Senior so he is positioning himself for that spot as a Junior and Senior next year.

I got out of the habit of updating this last year, sorry about that.
Quick updates...
Stuart Lips is still at Marshall and starting on kick off and is the back up strong safety. I will try to have some photos of him uploaded onto the GA website shortly.
Nathan D'Cunha has transfered from Kansas to a Div 2 school but unfortunately due to the ever present academic hurdles he is unable to play football there after originally being told he could. He will return to Australia early next year. Sounds like he got a tough break.
Adrian Thomas is starting today in Hawai'i's mid week game against Louisiana Tech. The Senior starting Right Tackle injured himself at practice and could be out for up to a month. The game can be streamed live on www.channelsurfing.net at 10am.
