The young man would have great size for a Division III QB (6'5", 220) if he does stick at TU. 

That's great size for a QB at any level.

And he'd have a darn good O-Line to play with from what I saw last week.

Tex...posting at 3 a.m.....what are you doing, going over the two deeps, breaking down a little film?  What's the report from SA?

A couple of articles out of Millsaps for your reading pleasure.  Coach Dubose has replaced the vacant coaching slots pretty quickly and it appears the Saints will be staying in the New Orleans area for training camp this year.

Millsaps is in Spring ball right now, but sorry, don't have any news for y'all.  Maybe Frank has some since he is in the area...

Huntingdon and LaGrange colleges may have to replace four games each now that the SLIAC has decided to drop football THIS year. They are waiting to see which teams are still going to honor their commitment to play this season.

I play(ed) football at CC, and that's an offseason roster, meaning Coach Bodor listed everyone in the class they'll be next year. He must have mistakenly left someone as a freshman. We were expecting to get another 20 kids this year, almost half of which were committed to go to CC early decision. None of us expected this, and even the coaches didn't know until that morning. I finally blogged about the day in its entirety if you guys want to check it out, maybe it will be enlightening: http://www.thed3experience.com/Blog/wordpress/2009/03/my-life-as-a-d3-player-the-end-of-colorado-college-football/

By the way, I'm one of those kids looking to transfer in a ridiculously small time window. It sucks.

Good luck Chris. I hope it all works out for you. Sounds like you've got a handle on everything and have a good support network in place.

I think that may be very good news for lot of the SCAC teams looking for games.

Posted here last year that Coach Walker became the fourth DPU coach to beat Wabash in 2 of the 3 major sports in the same school year.  Here's a refresher:

...I believe he becomes the fouth coach to beat Wabash in two of the three major sports (3rd in football and baseball) in the same academic year since Raymond "Gaumey" Neal in 1930.  Three years before Raymond "Gaumey" Neal's football team became the last in any division to go undefeated, untied, and unscored upon, his football and baseball teams both beat Wabash.  His football team beat Wabash 7-6, and his baseball team split two games with the Cavemen, winning the first 10-3 and losing the season finale 17-0.

In 1942, Lloyd Messersmith did the same in football and basketball.  His football team won the 11th Monon Bell Classic 7-6.  His Men's Basketball team beat Wabash 32-31 in the season finale.

The last was Bob Hicks in 1958.  His football team beat Wabash 24-8. His baseball team also was victorious, splitting the 2 game season series with a 5-2 victory and a 5-2 loss. 

This year, he becomes the only coach to do it twice!  Make it 18 in a row against LG baseball - 16-7 was the final on Wednesday.  Walk is 6 for his last 6 against Wabash in both sports combined going back to 2006's baseball season.  That'll play.

That's some good knowledge, Wes. Here's to a three peat...

That's amazing...and unfortunate for lots of players and coaches.

You guys sure don't like Wabash ...

Link to this, please?  I saw nothing on the SLIAC, Huntingdon, or LaGrange athletic sites, and a google news search on "SLIAC football" returned only a story on Huntingdon's 2009 schedule.    

Or was this a very late April Fools joke, in which case you got me hook, line, & sinker?

Nothing's on the record yet but the rumors are flying, to be sure.
