FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

I think we should all meet in Vegas and organize these picks properly. 

Just give me your CC number(s) and I'm there.

On a more serious note - the latest hurricane models are in, most carry Gustav into Texas Wed-Thur and a couple of them are showing Gustav in central Texas Friday - potentially disrupting a whole lotta football in all classifications in both Louisiana and TX.  This is trivial compared to what the people in NOLA and along the La. coast are facing, but worth noting.

Our hospital has begun receiving transfers out of southern LA today.

Yeah, but I'm sure the price would plummet if Campbell is spelled correctly.

Some place called Trinity got ahold of my credit card number a few months back.  You can now find me in a van down by the river.

Where do you plan to go with all of those frequent flier (credit card) miles that you are getting?

Lots of trips to Austin, TX.  I hear there's a team there called the 'Roos.

Ralph, looking forward to meeting you in person.  Be sure to come on over to the home side and enjoy a burger and/or dog on TU!

Not sure I agree with much this article says.  The Majors are no doubt looking for the automatice bid to the playoffs this year, but I will agree that this game is imporatant, as last year proved.  I guess not having the automatic bid last year makes the Majors second despite the "Co" title for the SCAC last year.  Lastly, I am sure the Tiger faithful will not agree with Dubose's assesment of Mississippi College compared to the rest of the SCAC!

I'd like to see Miss Coll have more than one good season before elevating them above the entire SCAC.  I don't deny the ASC is a better conference overall - but a team with one winning season in the last six better than an entire conference?

All Dubose comments have to be taken with a big grain of salt.  I know we had some interesting discussions this time last year on the MC game.  Dubose completely screwed the pooch last season on this game.  I'm sure he'll be bestowing more accolades on them by the end of the week in order to soften a potential 3rd straight defeat?  And, while I'm talking about last season, I especially loved the way he called out his players in the interview after the TU lateral win.  I know he was frustrated, but he tossed those kids under the bus as well.  Classy.  

I've always been a closet Bama fan after multiple trips to Tuscaloosa, so take the following with another grain of salt.  

Dubose had it all at Bama and pissed it away.  I personally never had much interest in whether or not he boinked that secretary.  The thing I always wondered was if it was really him that made that bonehead call in the 97 Iron Bowl game and if he subsequently threw his assistant under the proverbial bus.  If he didn't make that call, it showed a lack of judgement to not at least know what the call was.  I think he fired three or four assistants after that season-ending loss.  There's no doubt the guy can coach.  What he's done in a short time at Milsaps is impressive.  But there always seems to be a cloud hanging over him at some point.  Everyone blamed Bama's NCAA investigations on Coach Fran, but those 21 lost scholies and 5 years probation came from actions during Dubose's tenure.  

The bottom line on his SCAC competition comment:  Neither MC nor TU were able to get past UMHB last year.  (I'm guessing the year before as well.)  I believe that's the current measuring stick for any ASC or SCAC team's overall success.  But one game at a time.  Let's see who earns the right to get that automatic bid.  Also, isn't it about time to get two SCAC teams into the playoffs?    

I'm Tex and I approved this message.
