While I love poking fun as evidenced by the pic above, the term San Anotnio Slaughter is a bit over the top and pretty much uncalled for. Obviously the originator didn't see the same game I did. The score is not indictive of actually how close this game was. As Trinity was driving early in the 4th, looking to get the score within 8 points, I was thinking this was gonna be a long 15 mintues with visions of last years loss fresh in my mind. The interception in the end zone was the KEY play of the game.

Keep in mind this was written by a guy that is paid to hype up the Majors, not an un-biased sportswriter.  It is a little mis-leading though as I agree with your comments about Trinity fighting back in the game.

Just to let everyone know, the previously mentioned right-up was modified, see the release below.  "Slaughter" is no longer in the text.

http://www.millsaps.edu/athletic/football/110108story.shtml

The current version was modified not the one that I copied directly off their website Sunday morning. Someone is doing some damage control.

Man This is from the Millsaps SID. Sounds like they definetly had revenge on thier minds. Notice key phrase "San Antonio Slaughter"

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Oliver Galicki, Andres Wallace, Jordan Granville, John
Shivers and Adam Williams paved the way for a season-high 576 yards of total
offense and 5th-ranked Millsaps dropped the most points on host Trinity (Texas)
in the SCAC era in a 56-27 rout of the Tigers Saturday afternoon at E.M. Stevens
Stadium.

Senior All-American hopeful Juan Joseph completed 30-of-43 passes for 370 yards
and three TDs and also rushed for 91 yards and two more scores as Millsaps not
only clinched an automatic playoff berth but snapped a 13-year home conference
winning-streak (36 games) for the Tigers dating back to 1995.

Millsaps (8-0, 5-0 SCAC) won its 10th straight game dating back to last year's
"Mississippi Miracle" loss and earned the right to term the game this season the
"San Antonio Slaughter" while sending 14th-ranked TU to its first loss of the
2008 season after opening the year at 7-0.

"We hit on all cylinders today," offensive coordinator John David Caffey said.
"It's probably our best performance of the season but we can still perform
better.  We followed our game plan that we practiced all week and definitely
showed up  for the showdown."

Millsaps set the tempo on the opening play from scrimmage, using Jonathan
Brooks' 26-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown.  However, Trinity's Riley Curry
was deemed down by contact and the touchdown was wiped off the board - one of
two on the afternoon (Michel Galatas 85-yd kick return).

Trinity (7-1, 4-1 SCAC) would score first two series later, taking advantage of
a Joseph fumble on a called option play that set the Tigers up on the Majors'
24-yard line.  After the turnover, Bryant Wilson marched TU 24 yards on seven
plays, connecting with Al Furlow from 12-yards out for the 7-0 lead.

Millsaps responded right back 1:08 later, using a career-long 55-yard kick
return from sophomore Michael Galatas to set the Majors up at TU's 32-yard line. 
After a 10-yard rush from Joseph, the senior found fellow senior Eric McCarty
from 20-yards out over the middle to knot it at 7-7.

After forcing TU into a three-and-out on its next possession, Millsaps took its
first lead of the contest on its best drive of the day, a 9-play, 80-yard drive
over 3:15 that ended in a 14-yard run from Joseph and a 14-7 lead.

Ten unanswered from the Tigers off Peter Licalzi's 25-yard field goal and
Wilson's 26-yard TD pass regave them the lead at 17-14 and energized the crowd
of 3,213 before 10 unanswered from the Majors gave the visitors a 28-17 lead at
intermission.

Millsaps would take total control of the game in the second half, scoring TDs on
four of its five possessions while limiting the Tigers to just 10 points to come
away with the convincing, 29-point win.

Behind Joseph's stellar afternoon that will likely garner him D3football.com and
SCAC Player of the Week honors, McCarty caught nine balls for 115 yards and a
score, Galatas caught four for 82 yards and a score, Raymece Savage grabbed six
for 49 yards and Shane Bowser grabbed four for 56 yards and a score.  Wilson
completed 18-of-31 passes for 275 yards, three TDs and two INTs for TU,
connecting with Chris Coleman a team high five times for 67 yards.

Defensively for Millsaps, Lee Klein had a team high eight tackles, Denarold
Anderson had seven tackles (2.0 TFL) and a sack and Jacob Hanberry had seven
tackles, two breakups and a key interception in the third quarter.  For the
Tigers, Dennis Grebe had a game high 10 tackles.

The Majors will return home next weekend for a Homecoming showdown with Colorado
College, with kickoff set for 1 p.m.  Before kickoff, 20 Millsaps seniors will
be recognized in addition to halftime festivities.

.....This still is the best passing offense in the conference......

I didn't even look at the SCAC Stats page for the numbers.  Regardless of what the numbers say, I'm not so sure that you'd find many who would put the DePauw passing offense over that of Millsaps, especially since Juan Joseph rarely sees any 4th quarter action.  All that being said, I will agree that the DePauw passing attack has been impressive in recent weeks.

It's only 4 yards per game, anyway.  DePauw leads the league in passing yardage at 300.6.  Millsaps is 2nd at 296.4 before a significant drop off to Trinity at 237.  Millsaps' defense has been plenty good enough to get Juan off the field after 3.  DePauw's hasn't been. 

But, the numbers are the numbers.  DePauw is this conference's best passing offense from a statisitical perspective.  That being said, I imagine that you'll gladly take the blowout wins and a very impressive +31 ppg scoring differential per game instead of inflated stats for your quarterback and the +2 ppg scoring differential that DePauw has.

EDIT:  I'm not trying to argue with you, but Juan and Spud have eerily similar efficiency numbers:

Juan: 165-254 1842yds 21TD's 3INT 150.8 efficiency
Spud: 157-245 2032yds 18TD's 11INT 149.0 efficiency

For the sake of accuracy if the SCAC stats are up to date this is what it says. Both QB's are really good.

PASS OFFENSE G Comp Att Int   Pct. Yards Avg. TD Avg/G
1. Millsaps  5 142 207 2 68.6 1475 7.1 18 295.0

6. Sewanee  6 91 171 9 53.2 858 5.0 4 143.0

9. Colorado College  5 30 80 9 37.5 429 5.4 3 85.8

I forgot to mention these stats are SCAC games only. Wes is probably right for all games.

Deep breath, 52 -- all Ron had to go on was what you said and you said you were new.

It is obvious that I was "new" to posting on this message board but he should not have assumed that I didn't know what I was talking about bacause of that. It seemed to me there was sufficient evidence not hearsay on what Wes was talking about

If you've been lurking for a long time and just started  posting, that's certainly different, but you didn't say that. You implied the opposite.

If you've truly been lurking for a while then you have seen other posters register, do a drive-by slam on one team or another and never return. So that's the context Ron was probably working from.

"Lurking" What exactly does that mean?  I didn't  bash any team. I believe it was the officials that I directed my question to Wes and not the entire forum. I certainly can see why some posters never come back.

Hey Wes I am new to this board but with this clock thing appearing to be the blunder that it is can someone, anyone go right to the top and I mean the NCAA and put in a formal grievence? I would do so along with a grievence to the SCAC head office. The thought of these same officials calling most all of these Trinity games and getting away with this is unbelieveable to me. I didn't hear if anybody said the clock was wound incorrectly when Trinity had the ball and threw incompletions?

The thought of someone 'new to this board' without a concrete understanding of the situation coming and jumping on what is essentially a bunch of hearsay is what's unbelievable to me.  According to my brother, who was present at the game, the clock was wound during all incompletions.   

By all means, if someone in a position of responsibility thinks there is an issue, it should be taken to the SCAC office, not just hurled around on a message board.  

Just because I am new to this board I certainly am not new to reading this board and very farmiliar with the SCAC teams. In fact I have been reading this board for over 3 years now especially since my son is a starter on an SCAC team. How rude and arogant you are to make such a statement. I asked this because Wes had evidence from the stats that the clock ran on incompletions when Depauw had the ball. That is not hearsay. I further asked about if the clock also ran when Trinity had the ball because I didn't see any comments to that fact. You know nothing about me or my knowledge of this conference or the game of football. It is comments like this that probably keep more people from registering and participating on this message board.

Athletic departments have more to worry about (or should, anyway) than a student-athlete who gets named to a National Team of the Week.  Trust me on that one. 

The student-athlete shouldn't be awarded or slighted based on the message board comments of an SID whose job it is to promote his team's success.  Let's award the student-athlete for a game well played if he's so deserving above the rest.  In this case, if Joseph deserves the nod, you should have no worries about honoring him.  If he's not , he's going to go out on Saturday and compete just the same.

You tell em Carl!!!
