Looks to be a good matchup in Jackson this weekend with consequences for the league crown. Anyone have any thoughts/analysis on DePauw-Millsaps?

When does the pre-season poll come out? Anyone have a sense for the favorite(s)?

Here's to DePauw and a great victory fitting of the rivalry.
Kudos to Ken Owen (DePauw '82) for his great work in sharing these videos of THE KICK and the game.

Can someone enlighten me on the wisdom behind sending Calvin, Southern Maine, and DePauw to lowest seed Emmanuel in Boston on Friday? I doubt it had to do with cost effectiveness of travel to Boston as flights appear to be $800 to $1,000, and hotel rates are likely higher in Boston as well. Although I'm a biased DePauw fan, I thought Calvin or DePauw would have made more sense as hosts since both are ranked higher and it's a two school flight situation no matter who hosts.

For those of you who may be perplexed as I have been in the past with the amount of hours Wabash guys spend blowing hot air in this chat room, the following may offer some explanation. It appears their president came out with a new and appropriate mantra: "Wabash always talks."

I'm a bit surprised DePauw-Wabash is not mentioned as a key NCAC non-conference matchup. There is a lot of talk about the coaching turnover, but DPU still won 22 games with different coaches in the last three seasons.

Any thoughts on which DePauw team will show this week? They appeared to be rolling until last week when they could not seem to get into any kind of rhythm against Rhodes. Is Marks healthy? If last week was any indication, as Marks goes, so go the Tigers.
DePauw has a tough road ahead for sure. Millsaps is athletic although very young. Centre looks tough -- we'll find out just how good they are this weekend in San Antonio. Rose is better than they have been in a long time and we're essentially their Monon Bell game so they will be up for it. Wabash is rolling although untested yet for the most part. The NCAC looks down this year, but scoring 40 points per game week in and week out is a feat regardless of who you're playing.
Should be an interesting next four weeks.

If DePauw should be fortunate to win out in the SCAC and tie with Trinity, the conference ruling clearly punishes DePauw for having a tougher schedule. A close loss to Wesley, which is rolling at 5-0, and a tough Bell game yet to come against possible NCAC champ Wabash, stand in the way of DePauw coming out on top in this scenario tie-breaker. If DePauw were to win out and be 8-1 at the close of the season, one would think they would be a strong at-large candidate. But who knows how the NCAA would rule.
If DPU and Trinity are tied going into the last week of conference play, it's too bad they couldn't just flip-flop opponents. DePauw could switch from traveling to Terre Haute to play a less meaningful game against Rose and instead go to San Antonio.
This tie-breaker scenario clearly rewards a softer schedule. It's a disappointing ruling for that reason.

Is it just me, or is anyone else growing weary of the asinine comments, i.e. DePauw "passed" or "wimped out" in its decision to stay clear of Hurricane Rita?
I ask those of you who make these comments, if you had to make a decision in light of what had just happened in New Orleans, would you really have chosen to take buses and hotel rooms away from evacuees who needed them to escape Hurricane Rita's path? I enjoy my college football as much as the next guy, but let's have some sense of perspective here and move on.
As for a tiebreaker, it is a bit presumptuous to assume and plan for DePauw and Trinity being undefeated and deadlocked at the end of the season when DPU has not yet played a conference game. However, don't think for a moment that DePauw players and fans aren't severely disappointed to miss a shot at knocking Trinity off the top of the SCAC this year.

Here is a piece of trivia to help pass the apparently abundant free time of incessant Wally bloggers:
What was Wabash's ALL-SPORTS record against DePauw during the 04-05 year?
