Maybe next year Mike and Norman can plan to play a "fifth quarter" for the younger guys?

Thoughts on that?

Haha. Here we go again. This is going to be coming back all season, huh?

Ron: I'm sure that Millsaps and its fans have put week one behind them, and are just going to take it one week at a time. Polls and stats are nice, but if they don't win the conference, it doesn't really matter. I'm sure there are a few people around here that can give them a nudge in those polls though (hint hint). haha.

Pat: Whatever happened, happened, and I wouldn't expect less than the best from Millsaps in every facet of the game. No one can afford to anymore. You're probably right about the poll issue and how some pollsters might view Millsaps, but it's water over the dam now. Hope Millsaps can go out there and show everyone what they're made of so week one can be put to rest! I hope you actually get to see a game, too!

Big C: Thanks for the reminder. If I could give you karma points I would, because I sure forgot! haha.

I'm not one of them, in case you're wondering.  Don't really know enough about the entire D3 landscape to cast a knowledgeable vote.

If Millsaps keeps winning they'll get back on the radars of the national voters who no doubt feel 'burned' by the week 1 result.  I think it's danged unfortunate b/c they're not getting the respect they would had their record been 2-0, but I understand where Pat is coming from as a voice which is representative of those who are voting.

You guys are hilarious... 

Texas Lutheran and Trinity was an interesting one this past weekend.  is the TLU QB out for the season or just a couple of games?  Trinity seemed to roll all over them from looking at the sparse reports I was able to dig up on the net.

If Millsaps is playing for votes, things might get frustrating.  You'll only play your best if you're focused on the opponent.


Regardless, I'm making the trip for the game on Oct 27th.  It looks like there are plenty of Jackson folk hanging around the board lately, so I'm hoping that someone can answer this question:

What is the story with the King Edward Hotel?

If there is no story, we'll stay at Cabot of course, but I'm a sucker for historic buildings.

No doubt. Play to win and the votes will take care of themselves.

Their #1 QB was injured early in the Sul Ross game and is out for the season.  The kid who came in did pretty well given that his prior experience was going 0-3 in the Sully game.  Bryant Villa is a sophomore from SA McCullum, not a premiere FB school by any stretch.   Joel Waldon will seek a medical redshirt according to published reports.

Trinity had difficulty stopping TLU's RB/KR/PR Anthony Smith, who piled up over 140 yards rushing, but came up with the big defensive plays to stop the drives in the second half.

I am looking at a chance to get to the AC/Millsaps game.  I will wear a McMurry cap and maybe a maroon shirt.

I hope to see as many of you who are there...Josh, Ron Boerger, Frank Ezelle, roocru...

Josh Bowerman

Ralph, you can ride up with Ron and I on Saturday, if you'd like.  Let me know and I'll pass along the particulars.

I think we might need to pose for a group photo!

With Millsaps getting no votes, I have to conclude that there is a conspiracy against the Millsaps team.  Last year they were SCAC Champions and yet they also had no votes after two games--I see a suspcious pattern.  :) :) :) (Please note the smiley faces--last year after two games Millsaps was 0-2 and had given up 93 points).

In all honesty, I agree 100% that Millsaps has no reason to expect any points in the poll at this point.  Things will work out if Millsaps does well in the SCAC.

On another note, it was mentioned yesterday on the coach's show that Millsaps and Belhaven will have a JV game this Monday at 4:30 at Millsaps.  Maybe one of the Millsaps parents can confirm that I heard the details correctly.

Interesting question about the JV history at Millsaps.  I graduated from Millsaps in 1973 and I doubt that there has been a formal JV game since then.  There have been the preseason scrimmages where everyone gets to play, but I don't think they have ever had enough players to need a series of JV games in the middle of the season. 

I think Consultant is keeping up with the board even though he isn't posting very often and maybe he'll have some info on the subject since he is a former Millsaps SID.

Well with all of these dignitaries making their way to Sherman, I hope the 'Roos can shut down the Millsaps passing game enough to give you a good show.

Regarding the JV situation at Millsaps, there has never been any formal JV program for football of which I am aware.  The squads have always been rather small.
