New AFCA....

Trinty up to #11.  Millsaps finally gets 4 votes.  Centre falls like a rock to 4 votes after being the third team out last week.

Gee, why is this? Centre won last week!

The post about the SCAC players of the week inaccurately says it is Millsaps first win at Depauw as Millsaps won there in 1994.  I'm guessing it is their first SCAC win at DePauw?

You'd have to talk to the SCAC front office; I just cut-and-pasted their release.

We have a new columnist and column this week for Around the South ... someone you DPU folks should be familiar with, Wes Anderson.  Welcome Wes, and good job!

I echo Ron's comments Wes, a nice job on your first regional column!

Aw shucks fellers.  Thanks.

Since Centre's rise in the poll seems to have been initiated by their big loss to DePauw, maybe a big enough loss at Millsaps will vault Centre into the Top 25. 

While I think Pat hit the nail on the head a couple of weeks ago that Centre was getting votes that were actually intended for a school with a similar name, it is hard to believe that one or more voters are still making this mistake after 3 weeks of voting. 

[KentATM]

was he talking about a school called Central thats getting mixed up with Centre?  Central is now 5-0 and ranked #7.  They are the only school that has a name remotely close Centre. 

Regardless, thats pretty sad if they are making that mistake.  Its probably not even the coach thats doing the voting.  I'm sure just like at big schools some lazy coaches just have graduate assistants, secretaries and other subordinates fill out their ballots.

If only I had known that I was having a violent disagreement with the future SR columnist ...

I'd like to add my kudos as well ... this week's ATS is some good reading and nicely done.  Now I guess we'll have to wait a couple weeks to read your take on this year's Trinity Tigers.  The past couple of columns are a little too "Millsaps-heavy" for my taste.  I don't think TU's quite ready to concede the title ... but, I would say that, wouldn't I? 

Thanks for taking on the job and keep up the good work!

We'll fit you in there!  I promise!  I didn't forget about you guys.  I'd like to, but you just don't ever seem to go away.     Trinity's caused enough anguish since I came to DePauw that I'd just as soon not have to sing their praises anymore.   

On a more serious note, I sort of decided on my own that I could only cover a couple of main topics and still be as thorough and complete as I wanted to be.  I didn't want it to be so long that it was a 15 or 20 minute read just to get through it.  With the Millsaps/DePauw game last week, and then the big UMHB/HSU game this week, I had to consolidate my TU conversation a little bit this week.  I assure you there's plenty to come with the big DePauw and Millsaps games on the horizon.

Yeah, they don't write about Mount Union too much until the post-season, either.

That's only because we took down the one in between.

It will probably surprise no one that Coach DuBose finds some fault with the way the Millsaps team has played this season.  Here's a story from today's local newspaper:
