QuoteI am concerned about the 'Roos getting into situations where they have to rely on the pass.  However, I think the defense will really keep it close--especially if they play with the same intensity they did yesterday.

Josh, agreed about the defense...they went out and found some great looking young athletes, like Josh Byrd at safety, and Matt Finke also deciding to play football this year really helps, because he's got very good speed.  Matt Orr is going to be a nice addition to the defense as well, as he's lost 15 pounds but looks like he's in great, great shape.  i mean, seeing him walk around campus and in the weight room, the kid is looking huge -- nearly as big as Thomas Derricks looked last year.

regarding getting behind early and having to throw the ball, the one thing i will say is that Kent Bell looked much more comfortable throwing it on Saturday.  it also helps that it appears Ronnie and the other coaches have found another solid receiver to compliment Eric Shon, in Evan Coachman.  Coachman made one spectacular diving catch, and looks like he's got very good hands to go with his 6-2, 195 frame.

they have the potential to be pretty good this year, overall.

Another note for Austin College fans and officials that were at the game Saturday...

I uploaded the images from the day's fesitivites to d3football.com's server last night.  My hope is that they'll be up under the "Photo Galleries" link on the main page before this evening.  I appreciate your patience as there were some behind-the-scenes technical difficulties being fixed yesterday.

I had a handful of parents contact me at the game about photos.  If you'd like me to try to get photos of you or your loved one, please let me know.  I'll be at the Colorado College and Trinity games for sure, and may be at the Millsaps and Birmingham Southern games, as well.

Ok, I've had my Labor Day cookout dinner, and a few adult bevs.... I thought TU looked rusty, but good at ETBU,,,,,  hey how can you complain about a shutout (on the road)?  The 'black flag' is alive and well!

The TU offense didn't get going until the second half, and WR Chris Coleman showed me something and Chris Baer made his first appearance after rehab with 2 td's ,, one running, and one receiving!  Bring on TLU next Sat at 6pm.

History, I'm sure the coaches will spend some time in practice this week working to correct the numerous holding and clipping/block-in-back penalties we saw on Saturday.  It was a shame that young Urban had a 40+ yard punt return nullified by one of them.

Barmore looked good.  Dylan Nealous played like a man possessed.  Good to see Bahr score what will hopefully be the first of many TDs this season.  The one on the pass play where he broke some tackles was especially nice.

Welcome, majordog.

Whom do you follow? Millsaps?

Ron Boerger

Yes, majordog, you've posted three test messages now, what's on your mind?   ???

The first week's SCAC Gridiron Report is up (.pdf).

Millsaps (probably not surprisingly) is among teams discussed in this week's Around the Nation podcast. It's a wrapup of the interesting stories on the national scene, plus a chance to hear our opinions about teams:

I drug my lazy keester out of bed, made the drive and watched from the air-conditioned comfort of the press box.   Got 47 MPG on the round trip despite driving 75-80 to get there in time (and boy was DPS out in force).  Looking forward to the videocast of the TLU game this weekend ... you might want to start posting links once the bugs are worked out.

I'll be making the trip to Memphis this weekend for the Lagrange game. Should be a good game to open up with. It'll be interesting to see what Coach Mooney has done with Lagrange and how they've improved from year one to year two.

I still pick Rhodes regardless of what they've done in Georgia.
GO LYNX!!

I don't think LaGrange will have an answer for that stifling Rhodes D, Hunter.
