No way Walker can coach both for more than a year. So will it be 5 in 5 years?

After reading Rogers comments in the D3football acticle, I think part of the problem MIGHT have been in the hiring process of new coaches.  This is just my guess and I have no idea how it works at other schools at any level, but at DePauw the adminstration makes some or most of the decision in regards to who it hires even with assistant coaches which could put a strain between the head coach and the university.  Is is possible that Rogers was not happy with the new coaches the University was bringing in?

obviously he wasn't happy with the old coaches  ;) ...that process could and should have been ironed out before he took the job...if it wasn't , shame on both parties...

What an eventful off-season we've had in the SCAC ...


  • Colorado College joins   :)
  • BSC dumps D1 for the SCAC   :D 
  • DePauw loses another head football coach   :( 
  • Rose-Hulman leaves, Austin officially becomes a member in a couple of weeks

Who woulda thunkit??

There's a nice piece on former Trinity RB Jerrold Jones in this season's issue of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine, which is now on newsstands, if anyone is interested.

JJ appears to be quite a talented artist, and I wouldn't mind having the Vince Young print he's holding in the piece.

Congrats to JJ and Trinity for his appearance in the article.

I don't remember what it was last year but it's gone up a lot in the last few years. Of course, it has the price elasticity of heroin.  ;)

I think it was $9.99, to be honest.  Don't exactly remember, though.

Hey Team,

I'd be remissed if I didn't throw a comment in the hat here.  While I haven't been around the situation (I'm now graduated and actually doing work for a living... so former_dpu_radio_guy i guess).. I'm not really surprised that this is hush-hush. 

I covered DPU athletics for WGRE for 4 years, and was part the football program as a student coach for a year as well.  The administration won't give you any details on anything.  This isn't anybody's fault in Athletics, PR, Sports Info, or anyone else except the people at the top.  It's the same way with anything that happens at that University.  It isn't just athletics.  This adminstration about as close to the vest as it gets.

I'm not speaking on behalf of WGRE or DPU athletics, but that administration won't tell you a thing.  I know it's frustrating.. it was always very frustrating for me as well trying to get facts out of the suits on anything and everything. 

I'm not sure how it is at Trinity or Millsaps or any of these other conference schools, but this is typical stuff from these people.

As somebody who isn't affiliated with DPU anymore, I'll tell you that Coach Walker is a stand up guy who will take the program in the right direction as long as he is at the head.  Having Coach Long along side won't hurt, either.  Those guys know the drill and will insure the program is in good hands.

Indeed ... congratulations to JJ and Trinity ... what a fine young man and a nice extra feature to this year's issue of DCTF.

For the record, the magazine's cover price is $9.95 (cheap in my book) and it's available now at area stores, including WalMart.  It's hard to find in these parts, so I ordered mine on-line at http://www.texasfootball.com.  I bought the Longhorns National Championship commemorative package deal ... $35 for the magazine, a UT feature magazine, and the DVD.  A sweet deal and it was in my mailbox 3 days later.

For those out of state or not able to get their copy, here's a scan of the feature from page 17 of DCTF 2006:


(click image above to enlarge)
Once the 2005 Trinity University football season ended, Jerrold Jones thought his sports career was over. The all-conference running back had seen his share of publicity for his work on the field -- including a 5A Division II state title at Katy in 2000 -- but he never thought his work off of the gridiron would bring any attention at all. But a few artistic creations later -- including the above drawing of former Texas quarterback Vince Young -- and Jones is thinking his sports-related career is just beginning.

"The dream would be to become the artist sports lovers seek out for a memorable piece," Jones said.

While that dream has yet to be realized, he has already sold several of his first works.

"If anyone is looking for something to be created, I'm ready and willing," Jones said.

Way to go, JJ!
