FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[KentATM]

as for Dubose, he and his staff were HUGE crybabies about the AC end zone fans disrupting his teams cadence when they got down to our red zone last year.

I found that really interesting considering he had been the HC at a big time school and suddenly having about 20 or so students yelling (like you are supposed to do at a damn football game) was an issue.

maybe he was flustered it took until the 4th quarter and for us to throw the game away with bad mistakes to put it away but it was extremely comical from my point of view.

The Millsaps Football Pregame show is scheduled for 7:00PM CST tonight and can be heard through the following link:

FYI/Thanks

Was good first broadcast of the season.

Kevin M., Millsaps SID, anounced that all games will be broadcast(video) live along with the audio play-by-play that had been provided only via radio in prior years. He also indicated that 5 other schools in the conference will be doing the same or something very similar.

It will be great for fans to be able to enjoy this and see some of the other teams play as the season progresses.

Also a plus is that all other fall sports will be video broadcasted, most times without the play-by-play but with a mike that will allow for the viewer to hear the sounds of the game, local PA announcer I pressume.

Basketball will have both video and play-by-play.

Thought you folks would appreciate the info.

Good luck to all  except when you are up against Millsaps.

Funny story, I hadn't heard that.

Trinity will again endeavor to do live audio and video streams of ALL games this season.  Check the TU football website for links...  Dr Ralph Turner has agreed to join Jonny Wiener in the booth as a guest for the TU v McM game at 6pm central Saturday from San Antonio.

I missed the announcement about this being "Pile on Coach DuBose Week".  I can't wait till someone writes that he wore a Pat Buchanan button in 1999 and therefore DuBose must be a Nazi sympathizer.

What I mostly know about Coach DuBose is that he was hired as head coach at Millsaps late in the spring of 2006, inheriting a team that had gone 2-7 in 2005 with both wins being by one point. Despite the handicap that this late hire put on recruiting and putting together a staff, in 6 months he transformed a team that almost went winless into a SCAC Championship winner.  He followed that up with a co-championship that was "co" only because Trinity pulled off a play that was judge the best play in college football last year.

I don't know Coach DuBose very well, but I like what I know of him.  His assistant coaches and players seem to love working under him and playing for him.  I've been on the sideline the last two years for the Millsaps home games and I appreciate the fact that while Coach DuBose might be intense, he is not one of those coaches who yells and cusses and rants and raves, something I have seen more than once on the visitor's sideline.  He also lets his assistants coach, placing great trust in them and not acting like he is the all-knowing one just because he is a former SEC Coach of the Year.

Admittedly, he has some questionable moments in his past unlike the rest of us, and it is true that he hasn't won a championship every year like most other coaches, but I'm still glad he is at Millsaps and I appreciate what he has done for the program and for the student-athletes at Millsaps over the last two years.  That's just one person's opinion for what it is worth and I hope this board will keep its focus on the games instead of taking detours to trash various coaches and players around the league.

Thank you Frank, we can't change opinions it seems and evryone is certainly entitled to them, but would love to focus on the actual games this week!

Admittedly, he has some questionable moments in his past unlike the rest of us

Well, Frank, it would be my estimation that as a public figure, part of the responsibility of his position is accepting criticism for those questionable moments.  Paricularly when it comes to quotes HE directly made in regards to his opposition.  (i.e. - "There's nobody in our conference (the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) as good as [Miss Coll]") I'm sorry, when you say something like that, somebody's going to call you on it.  And it probably ought to start out of San Antonio.

While some of those "questionable moments" may not be relevant to his ability to put together this Saturday's gameplan, some of them certainly are, including the game plan fom the 2007 Backyard Brawl.  Heck, if Walker yanked the starters in the 3rd quarter of Monon and lost, I'd have wally_wabash pointing and laughing at me on this board for the next decade.  I also think that DuBose throwing a fit at 20 Austin fans when he's coached in front of 40,000 is amusing, if nothing else. 

On top of that, I believe that this is the most appropriate forum to note those things, regardless of a person's affiliation. 

[evacuee]

I've been inspired to sound off about another SCAC coach and I can't believe that no one has made comments to this effect before.

I'm calling out Steve Mohr on this:

In the 2002 national championship game, Coach was interviewed as to what he would do differently now that the backup QB had to play.  He said they weren't changing anything and they still thought they could sustain their offense with who they had.  The nerve!  I can't believe he said that!  What was he thinking?  That Steve Mohr, he's a loose cannon. 

I think that's his most controversial comment or action over the last 18 years that I can remember.  People talk about Trinity's program winning ball games, but you hardly ever read posts up here about the coach doing ANYTHING, much less putting his foot in his mouth.  He has that part of his job figured out.  Apparently, Dubose does not, so winning ball games and satisfying players/coaches isn't going to win over the non-Millsaps folk who follow the SCAC.  In two years, he's given us all a great deal of material, and I believe he's worthy of that criticism despite being an on-the-field success.

[frank_ezelle]

Wes--In general I agree with your statement.  The recent comment in the newspaper, the decision against MC last year, and even the failure to run out the clock at the end of the Trinity game--these are all very valid points of discussion.  My concern is when the comments get a little too far off topic and seem to be more about personal attacks.

Let me point out that I felt this same way and made comments about it when we had the various DePauw factions trashing individual coaches.  I also felt like some of the comments got a little too personal on the ASC board recently in regards to the talented transfer who was recently release by UMHB.  Obviously I draw the line regarding "going too far" at a different spot than others.  That was my point and I have a feeling that you and I are probably in fairly close agreement on the subject.

i have recanted my evil non thanking sayings about Coach Dubose

and as far as the past goes...i am glad he did allow the pass to ed scissom... i am glad it was fumbled  (bless his heart) and glad Auburn recovered... AU kicked a last second desperation field goal and won......and of course....contributed to the times Auburn has defeated the evil empire of the tuscaloosa trade school

Sewanee scrimaged us in Montgomery...and i thank they r improved over last yr

good luck to ALL the SCAC..... we don't play any of yall in real games this yr...so i am hoping yall win all yalls non region games

keep the faith

Millsaps is in COMPLETE control tonight.  The Majors lead Miss. College 28-3 at halftime. 

[exmajor]

Now, let's see what Dubose does in the 2nd half.  Joseph looks very strong, waiting on his first #'s

[LA Major]

They seem to be clicking on both sides of the ball. DBs could have had some shut down ints. but they will improve in the pressure defense. Seems to be more running with the new OC. This is a mature team making a very good QB look shakey. Thanks Kevin M. for the video feed. It helps us forget about the storm impact for a few hours. Go Majors. DuBose please let the dogs run in the 2nd half.

[consultant]

Through the first half:

Millsaps' QB Juan Joseph is 15-18 for 225 yards and 3 TDs.  His first three passes of the evening were incomplete.   On the ground the Majors have rushed for 68 yards. 

Miss. College has 34 yards on the ground and 119 through the air.

[consultant]

Millsaps defeats Miss. Colege 42-6 in a dominating performance tonight in Jackson.

Great way to start the season for the Majors!
