Stop it already!  I love all these assumptions about a 2-loss DePauw squad.  Last I checked they only have one loss, and a close one at that to a potential playoff team in Wesley.  Let's not jump the gun here.  They're a good team - let's leave it at that.  We have our own business to take care of against OWU tomorrow.  Let Trinity and DePauw worry about this.

wabashcpa has recieved a standing ovation from the DePauw radio crew.  Anyone who assums that DePauw automatically has a two-loss schedule should see the following:

In a completely unrelated story, WGRE's coverage of Chicago v. DPU starts at 12:30 central on Saturday.

The greatest probability among the numerous possibilities is that TU and DPU end up as co-champs.  The SCAC deliberates the issue of the tie-breaker until 11pm  on Saturday November 12th, when they award the AQ to an 7-2 overall/6-2 South Region/5-0 SCAC DPU, which is smarting from the loss of the Monon Bell to Wabash. 

I was under the impression that the whole conversation here was under the auspice that Depauw would have 2 losses.  If Depauw goes 8-1, they probably have a decent claim at a bid, conference champion or not.  But 7-2, not so much...which brings into the equation any sort of scenarios under which the SCAC could award their AQ to Depauw instead of undefeated Trinity for no good reason which is why this discussion is both important and interesting.  It's all hypothetical.  Nobody is saying for sure that Depauw will go 7-2 and lose to Wabash.  Nobody is saying for sure that Trinity will go undefeated.  Nothing has been assumed here, we've just been discussing (at length) any number of what ifs.

Classic post, radio guy.  I guess I'd probably bug around other regional boards, too if I had nothing to remember from college that didn't involve a beanie or a sheep.  It's good fun having the d-bags from up north poke around, though I'm surprised you guys are so wrapped up in discussion of the SCAC.  

It is nice to see a little life on this board; that much is for sure.

Well, someone has to care. Why not us?

I didn't mean to totally imply (ok, maybe a little) that DPU would have two losses. It was just speculation that if the SCAC was played out to the end, a 2 loss team could make the playoffs anyway. But, if you recall, I WAS positive about their chances to making the playoffs with two losses (that they wouldn't get discarded automatically like chaff in the wind).

So there!

But don't get your hopes up about mid-November....

[dpuinaz]

Should be a good game...

As for you caring, my comments are certainly in jest.  It's always been a great rivalry and this year promises to be more of the same.  It is a shame TU and DPU aren't matching up -- would have been a thriller.

[smedindy]

Yes, a small part of me was actually going to root for DPU against Trinity - much the same way I root for ANYONE in the OAC to beat Mt. Union.

But I said a "small" part of me...

I'm not even going there....

Ron beat me to the punch......

Huntingdon 35 -- Millsaps 7 at halftime

[Ron Boerger]

Consultant, I'll leave the Millsaps updates to you from here.

Centre 17, Sewanee 14, 2nd quarter (no time, score from RHIT radio)

Trinity's Dustin Allen stops Charley Key for a four yard loss on 4th and one, takes over at midfield as the first quarter ends.    Can't move the ball, get an INT inside the 20, stall (!), Trinity 10, Rose-Hulman 3, 8:14 2^nd.

UChicago had a 4th and 1 deep in DePauw territory but couldn't covert.  Still 6-0 at the half. 

[Ron Boerger]

RHIT stops Trinity on a 4th-and-10 at the Engineer 30 with :48 left in the half, drive down to the TU 28, 45 yd FGA with the wind is good.  Trinity 10, Rose-Hulman 6 at the half. 

DePauw 19, UC 0, 9:56 3^rd.
