I watched that game, I saw someone get taken out, it appears that the right person learned a lesson at the end of that game. I do congratulate the Rose Hullman players, they were the better group that day. But I am pretty sure if I was on that field that day that loud mouth moron on Roses's sideline would have been taken out right after halftime. Some (not all) of their coaches were loud mouth jerks the entire game. But everyone has a right to act as they like, it just so happens that some people do have to pay the price for their actions.

Congratulations to Dustin Allen of Trinity and Brian Steinert of Rhodes for being selected to the 1st team defense on Don Hansen's South Region All American Team.

RC is just miserable.  Another close loss.  It seems like every season, aside from Trinity, all of Rhodes' losses are very close games.  They can never get over the hump so to speak.  I think that kind of consistent losing is a direct byproduct of the coaches.  Some people are winners, others just never seem to find ways to win in dog fights.  Rhodes plays a sloppy brand of football, full of mistakes.  I think they are the most underachieving team in the SCAC year in and year out. 

Hey Pacman,

I guess it is real easy to be an anonymous internet coward who can freely criticize people. Go look at the SCAC website and see what team had the defensive player of the week, underachievers my a**. What the write up  doesn't tell you is that on the two pass breakups, the wide receivers had to leave the game and both of those were in the 1st half, they never threw over the middle again, probably a smart move to not put any one else out of the game. There are those of us who will follow Rhodes college and their coaches and support them, I would very like to meet you someday, let me know if you ever follow a team that plays in Memphis. It can be tough when you have to play your 3rd QB because the first two are out with injuries, oh forgot, internet cowards don't probably know that. Hey, do me a favor and dress out for a game against Rhodes and run a crossing pattern over the middle about 3 -7 yards off the line of scrimmage, we won't hear your whining again.

LynxBC62,

They started off well, had the game in control in the first half, 22-10 at the half. La. college brought in #24 in the 2nd half to run the ball and he went wild. La. went ahead, scored 3 straight TD's in the 3rd Qtr. they went after a couple of the DB's, stayed away from 3 people on the defense. But the Lynx came back with some big time plays, a kickoff return to the 3, then scored, and forced fumble and return on defense for a TD to put the icing on the cake.  The final was actually 43 - 33, the  Lynx took a safety on 4th and 10 on their own 25 with 9 secs. left. Oliver was very impressive, Lake ran his heart out and had 157 hard running yards. The OLine did much better than I was expecting. The defense played well, they gave up some points but the La. offense was strong. La. college did not run at #33, or Bruner or Louden, they played the entire game away from those 3. But there were a lot of others to step up, Bartholomew had a great game so did Foti. The D line did not really sack much, but their offense was all 3 step drops with timing patterns, they got rid of it before they could get in. If what I heard was true, that La. had 9 returning offensive players from the #3 rated offense in D3 last year, the Lynx may just surpise some people this year. The biggest thing about the game, as you will well know, they got behind but found a way to win in the 4th Qtr.

Hey thanks for the info, I greatly appreciate it. It sounds like she can go, it doesn't matter to me which side I sit on, I keep my vocal input under my breath. I will definetly shoot you an email, if nothing else to find out the good places to park for tailgating. I past the exit for Huntingdon on my way to an account in Mobile last week, I think it was exit 170. That will be the shortest drive in all my son's 4 years, I'm looking forward to it. I had a neighbor whose son played baseball for Huntingdon, I think he graduated about 2 years ago or so.

I have a question about Huntingdon's field. I live in B'ham so the game they play Rhodes will be a very nice short trip for me. My mother has never seen my son play, but she is in a wheelchair. I was wondering if their field is condusive to accommodating someone in a wheelchair or would it be best not to invite her down for that game? thanks.

He doesn't want to talk, he asked me why I was asking so many questions about the team, when I told him that there were people on this board that may not have the ability to keep up with everything, he didn't want me posting stuff because he doesn't want other teams to know what's going on. But the bottom line is he thinks they will be good this year, he said the new QB is doing very well, and the defense is ahead of last year. He is quitely optimistic about this year, the only question mark is the O-Line.

I certainly give Trinity all the respect in the world, but I do recall they did have a big L the last time they played in Memphis. I do not think this year the kids in Red and black are going to give in to anybody. Their captians this year will not allow it. But all props to Trinity, they have earned the most respect in the conference, that is what happens, when you become the king, everyone is tryning to knock you off so there can be a new "Long live the king"

How did your knee operation go for you. I hope everything went fine. Ya'll keep me posted on Germany, I am interested on how things go. Good Luck. Hopefully you can get to Memphis for a game. LynxBC62, will your parents go to any games thisyear? I enjoyed them and your Dad's enthusiasm. Tailgating was a lot of fun. #33 still doesn't talk much, but I think he feels they might be able to play with the good ones this year.

LynxBC62

Just wanted to say hi to a fellow supporter. Sounds like you live up in Memphis. Are you a ex player or do you have a son on the team? If you go to the games I've probably met you.

Desert Lynx,
I haven't talked to my son the last couple of days but I'll call him today to see how everything is going. He did mention that he thought they were looking pretty good, but he also said how much can you tell ins shorts and helmets. The 2005 season review is on the Rhodes and SCAC website, I was real proud of him, he got most of the press in the review. If you read it, he is the linebacker that led the SCAC in tackles last year. I'll talk to him later today and get a report.
