At halftime, the Majors lead 42-0 over Lincoln in Jackson.

Ron Boerger · September 30, 2006, 03:37:52 PM

Wow, with all due respect to Millsaps Lincoln must really suck

WTG Majors on representing D3!

Would love to get a Rhodes update but Wash U is not broadcasting and you have to pay $5 to get the Lynx webcast. Sorry, no.

According to the D3scoreboard it's 0-0 at the half.

Ron Boerger · September 30, 2006, 03:48:32 PM

DePauw is up 31-6 with 10 minutes to play.

Ron Boerger · September 30, 2006, 03:58:00 PM

On the first drive of the second half, Matt Moorefield scores from 4 yards out to put Trinity up, 20-7. 11:54 to play in the third.

AC gets one first down but that's it. Trinity drives right down the field and mostly on the ground. Greg Bielski scores from 10 yards out to put Trinity up 27-7, 5:51 to play in the third. AC starts at their 5 after the kick hits an AC player and bounces out of bounds.

Ron Boerger · September 30, 2006, 04:29:55 PM

Fourth quarter in San Antonio ... AC fumbles at their 30, Dustin Allen recovers for the Tigers. Jacob Cannon now in at QB. Greg Bielski scores his second rushing TD on an option from ten yards out, Trinity now leads, 34-7, with 9:20 to play.

Wesley leads at Huntingdon, 38-17, late in the game. Sounds like star Hawk WR Colson went out in the third with an ankle injury.

Final score from Jackson: Millsaps 52 - Lincoln 10

Ron,
Millsaps played good football from what I heard during the broadcast. True, Lincoln is a scholarship program that is not very good. Nevertheless, let's give the Majors their due regards. They can move the football a little bit, and I like the Majors' chances next weekend vs. Centre in Jackson.

Ron Boerger · September 30, 2006, 05:03:09 PM

No offense intended, Consultant. You don't put 42 points up on anyone in a half without playing pretty well!

You just wonder about people giving away "athletic" scholarships to a team like that (Lincoln).

Congrats to the Majors on the big win!

consultant · September 30, 2006, 05:42:05 PM

Ron,
Yeah...no kidding. Hopefully the kids are taking advantage of an opportunity to go to school.

HunterT · October 01, 2006, 12:00:25 PM

sounds like the SCAC had a good day,

Sorry for the late update from Memphis, had to celebrate.

Rhodes - 6
Wash U. - 3

huge offensive barn-burner. the defenses both played great all game long, really only giving up drives on the last two drives of regulation. it was a great game, with big plays throughout. very glad I was here to enjoy it.

evacuee · October 02, 2006, 04:13:43 PM

Alright, so it's obviously a slow day in the SCAC. I guess there was no controversy surrounding last weekend or this coming weekend. A slow day merits posts such as the one you are about to read.

The Gulf South is about to see a scheduling arrangement that can be likened to all the planets being perfectly aligned in that it just doesn't happen very often. In one day, there are going to be two games between Division III schools that can both be seen by the same person. Millsaps, with a 7:00 kickoff, can be seen following Trinity at Huntingdon(1:00) provided the fan hurries to the car after the last play runs off the clock. That is, of course, if the game is close and both teams have success running the ball.

This kind of thing goes on in Ohio every weekend, but here in the Gulf South, no. It probably has happened with the two MC's recently now that Millsaps has lights, but I'm paying attention because I'm a TU alumnus and Montgomery is in striking distance from New Orleans, which is where I am. Anyway, I would try it myself if I didn't have coaching duties, but I issue the challenge to anyone who is crazy enough to try to make it work. I have a hard enough time getting Millsaps alumni to just go to Jackson for the day so I can't believe there are too many that have the guts.

Hawks88 · October 02, 2006, 05:59:00 PM

According to Microsoft Streets & Trips it's 248.4 miles from Huntingdon to Millsaps. Considering that over half of that is non-interstate highway, I don't know how possible it is for that to be done in less than 4 hours. Maybe if TU-HC is a really quick game and you leave before it's over and you have a really good radar detector, you might be able to do it and not miss too much of the CC-MC game. I know I am not the one who is going to try it. Good luck to whoever tries though.
I could maybe call my brother-in-law, who is a sheriff's deputy near Jackson, to see if he can have his friends look out for you and let you through, but I don't know if he could since he already had to get me out of a ticket on my trip to Millsaps a couple of weeks ago.

Ralph Turner · October 02, 2006, 07:07:57 PM

Living in Dallas and having 2 daughters attend Auburn (WAR EAGLE!!!!), I believe that I can speak to the Montgomery to Jackson leg.

1) Get out of Montgomery in a hurry. If you need to catch the last of the HC game on the radio, then you can cheat.

2) Divided highway to Selma. Drive in the right hand lane; you may try to set the cruise control at 5-7 miles above the speed limit. Only get in the left lane to pass "slower" traffic. This time, do not stop at the historical markers of the 1963 Selma to Montgomery March. Bring the family back for the historic vacation.

3) I cannot figure out how to make better time thru Selma. Just observe the speed limit.

4) Hwy 80 is divided almost to Uniontown. Repeat #2.

5) Careful thru Uniontown and the only smoky that I have ever seen is on the west end of Uniontown, going from Perry County to Marengo County.

6) Demoplos is Demopolis. No way to make time here.

7) West of Demopolis, if you can avoid getting behind a lumber-hauler, then you can probably make a little time. I am not sure how much progress they have made widening the road this summer. You might get lucky.

8 ) You can get on I-20 at Cuba. Last chance for a very, very quick bathroom break is here, two stations on the South side (left side) of the road before getting on I-20.

9) I -20. Get in the right hand lane; drive 78 MPH, and generously accelerate in the left lane when you need to pass "slower" traffic. Then get back into the right lane. Drive carefully thru Meridian. (Don't stop at the Jimmie Rodgers Museum.) Be careful not to take I-59 to N'Awlins.

10) Road construction in jackson was horrible ast winter. Uneven pavement, strange lane configurations, speed limts. Have they fixed it yet? 120 miles across Mississippi in hopefully about 95-100 minutes. You just might make it!
