FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

The football field and track are complete.  The team moved into the new locker room and weight room before the end of last season.  There are no seats yet.

any pics???

I tried to attach one but "The upload folder is full."  Go to this web page, scroll down, and click on "77."

Too bad they went cheap and didn't put a logo at midfield.

How hard will it be to see the scoreboard which is facing the southwest as the fans read it from the southeast?  The angle of the sun may be shining on the face of the scoreboard directly by mid afternoon.

Thanks, old moose...you're right, it needs a logo at midfield...but it looks nice and in a neat setting. we didn't make it to campus on our trip last season...by the way, the crowd and the atmosphere at regions field was great...really impressed by your fans---intense and classy---fun to be around...

I'm glad you could make the trip and had a good time.  Come back in 2009 and see the new stadium.  Here is an artist's concept of the whole complex: http://www.bscsports.net/Sports/football/2007/new%20athletic%20complex.asp 

Hopefully the new coach (and staff) will be able to perpetuate the intensity and energy of the fledgling program.  I'm hoping we don't lose to many players and fans in the transition.

In reference to Oldmoose post quoting BSC AD.  I believe the person he may referring to is Rush Probst, former Hoover coach.  I had heard from a friend at Hoover that Probst had really wanted the BSC job back when they hired Jones.

Coach Probst was recently hired as head football coach at Colquitt Co. Georgia

I HOPE NOT!!!!  I think he's carrying way to much baggage to get a job anywhere in the B'ham area at any level.  Remember, BSC is a churched-based school.  Many of Propst's behavioral tendencies don't gel to well with that environment.

Whoa now.  Have you ever attended a practice at a Catholic high school?  I work at one right now, and I can assure you that our varsity coaches aren't thinking about God during practice.  We have a pretty big league of Catholic schools here in New Orleans, and all the coaches are pretty much best friends throughout the schools.  Not many of them are altar boys.  I don't what it's like other places, but church and state don't necessarily mix on the practice field in my experience.  I think Rush could get by most places if his teams win.  That doesn't mean I have any taste for a guy like that.  I'd probably prefer to struggle without him than win with him.  That's probably why I'm not an AD.

Well, there's a big difference between a little salty language on the practice field and a public admission of adultery.  Not to mention allegations of grade fixing, affairs with school faculty, etc.

If you are really interested, here is all the dirt... http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2007/10/FinalReport.pdf

Reading that was like sitting in a city council meeting.  The endless details are so boring that the big issue starts to vanish, and all I want is for someone to make a decision. 

In any case, I see your point.  The coaches of whom I speak are often up to no good off the field, but the events are not made public.

I understand Trinity is allegedly close to giving EMStevens a facelift.

It's been in the plans for a couple of years as part of their current capital campaign.  Lordy I hope they finally pull the trigger.

I hear there's a strong possiblity of new field turf this summer.   It's funny, but every seemingly every other facility at  Trinity is first class.  The field seems like the lone exception. 

It's funny when a kid has been used to playing in front of 20,000 fans in high school to walk onto that field and look around.  I know it shocked my wife a lot.    She hadn't gone to any games with us last season.  I just looked at her and said, "welcome to D-3".

My wife bought me a "got laterals?" coffee mug the other day.  I  only wish it came in a larger size!    I can guzzle alot of coffee in the AM.

And I heard that the Mugs were large!

They should have offered a "Vente"!

I love pissing the people off at Starbucks by refusing to use their size names.  I want the biggest cup of coffee you sell.  You mean the vente?  No, I mean the biggest, xtra large size you sell  Sir, that would be the vente.  Great, give me the x-large.
