South Region playoffs

I'm confused, is Millsaps driving to Pittsburgh?

[Bob.Gregg]

Flying to Pittsburgh from Jackson.

Yeah, since when has the NCAA done anything that made sense?  Take the BCS for one.

Oh well, at least CMU's D will be facing a familar offense with the spread.  I believe 6 out of the last 7 teams they've played have run the spread.  We will see what happens next Saturday.

exmajor, I believe the NCAA picks up the tab for all travel expenses.  If it is within 500 miles, I would bet on a bus trip.  If not, they are probably flying.

See info from UMHB website below for game time.

Belton, TX-For the fifth time in the past six seasons, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team has qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championships. But for the first time, the Crusaders will open the postseason at home with a First Round playoff game against American Southwest Conference rival Hardin-Simmons next Saturday at 12:00 PM.

BDTartan, I'd be more worried about the Millsaps D than the Millsaps O.  They have gotten quite a few points off of INT returns the last few weeks.  They were the difference makers against Trinity yesterday.

Yeah, they give up yards, but they make up for it with the turnovers!  Trinity actually outgained the Majors yesterday and still got throttled!

PS - Dear NCAA committee, you suck.  Use your rules or don't have them.

Flying to Pittsburgh from Jackson.

I thought so, I guess they do not want to fly more than one team to Texas and so Millsaps heads to Pittsburgh to freeze.

Now, here's my first dilemma of the day:

I'm a Mapquest kinda guy.

I've been chastized strongly for failing to use the NCAA Official mapping/distance software.

The NCAA didn't use it themselves.

Now, I've got to get to Newport News.  What to do?  What to do?

Come on down Bob!! We will treat you with the utmost respect and gratitude! We treat our visitors well down yonda!! POMOCO is a great place to take in a game and the atmosphere is very enjoyable.

Ron,
Speaking of Trinity, How many years has it been since they have been out of the playoff. Seems to me a home game in SA is a given. i'm guessing their unbroken playoff run is longer than my eagles.

[BDTartan]

While I respect your opinion Ron, I'm not worried about INTs against CMU since they only put the ball in the air when they absolutely positively have to and also when they think they can get the safeties creeping up.  I hope its a good game.  I wonder if CMU and Millsaps have ever played each other.

We're coming, Rikki.

Several questions:

1)  Small, twin-engine plane--fly into what airport?

2)  Distance from that airport to POMOCO?

3)  Pressbox facilities, size, quality, etc.?

We have District High School Semifinal game Friday night, then NCAA's Saturday....

[BDTartan]

Nevermind my question, I found a program.  Millsaps and CMU have never met.

Small, twin-engine planes can fly into Newport News/Williamsburg International airport

Distance from said airport to CNU is 6.18 miles by
That is if you believe it!!! (since according to the main d3football page, its longer than 500 miles from millsaps to belton!!)

pressbox facilities I believe is more than adequate. I havent been in there, but ive seen the inside of it from the stands, there are two rows and its fairly long. very accomodating. Ill have to talk to a buddy of mine who works there to get more details for you.
