In a bit of an oddity of scheduling, the game this weekend is Homecoming Weekend for Millsaps.  It's not the norm to have Homecoming against the toughest team on the schedule or at the last game of the regular season, but it will provide a great atmosphere for such a big game.  Just as I said before the DePauw game, Trinity has to be considered the favorite because of their past history and their undefeated status, but isn't it amazing that Millsaps is in this position after an 0-3 start.

I know it's not of great importance to the rest of the SCAC this week, but there are two big games that are not Trinity and Millsaps.

Depauw and Wabash, whose supporters must have dissappeared to the Monon Bell thread for the week. I know nothing, but Go Depauw. Support fellow SCAC teams.

Then Rhodes and Sewanee in their annual Bowl Game. The Edmund Orgil Trophy supposedly got a make-over and looks more like the Stanley Cup than the bowl that it used to. Big game being played at Sewanee, who always makes it a great atmoshpere there when we play them. They will be out in force, and I think the biggest matchup of the week is the Rhodes Front 7 vs. Wes Satterfield. If the big guys can keep him from scrambling around and running the option game like he did against Depauw, then Rhodes should win. If not, and I definately think they will, those guys are playing amazing, then it's going to be very tough for the guys to take the hardware back to Memphis. Last year in Memphis Satterfield won the game on a scramble up the middle in OT. The pocket collapsed and he was forced to use his legs, the best part of his packacge IMO, and got the job done. And then in a very disrespectful act, similar to Miami jumping on the Louisville logo before the game, the Sewanee players rang the Rhodes bell. A symbol at Rhodes that has been there a long time, and it very important to the players and alumni.

That one act took this rivalry to a new level. Rhodes BETTER BE looking for revenge. They need to be feeling the anger and frustration from that game, as well as the last two. They need to go down there and make a statement and totally ruin the Tigers weekend.

translate that last bit as a message to the players that I know read this board... GO RHODES
GO LYNX!!

As Frank pointed out, Millsaps will be celebrating homecoming this weekend.  During a pre-game ceremony on Saturday, Millsaps will honor this year's Hall of Fame inductees.  Also being honored will be the Distinguished Service Award recipient (a REALLY BIG DEAL around Millsaps)......and our fellow poster, Frank Ezelle, will be THE MAN!  Frank, I've already expressed gratitude to you for your efforts in helping make things better at Millsaps, but I thought that I should make a more public statement!

I echo Consultant's statement Frank, thanks for all you do and have done for the school!

HunterT

Frank, congrats. Sounds like a big deal, and you deserve it.
GO LYNX!!

Ron I hope you see that somebody else voted like me for the tie... I'm not the only crazy one on here.

Yeah, I can be a bit of a smart-ass. :)

Say what?

Thanks for the above congratulations--I took off yesterday to work on the photos from the Rhodes football game and I'm in early today to post them.  When they first told me about the award my first question was, "Didn't anyone give a lot of money this year?".  Apparently not, but the photos I provided for the school and more importantly for each individual athlete take somewhere between 500 and 1,000 hours of work each year so it is nice to have this show of appreciation.

For those who are interested, the Rhodes photos should be posted within an hour after the time on this post.  Click on the link below, go to the Football 2006 link, then you'll see the Rhodes game.  The Players and Coaches--File 3 link is also from the Rhodes game.  Here's the link:
