FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[smedindy]

Any way to find out what % of FY MALES are football players?

[Ron Boerger]

The school sites didn't break down the m/f ratios.

Wabash would be easy to figure...had to get that in esp with the Depauw folks...great rivalry...

Just a note on the Chaminade Red Devils question...

Chaminade Red Devils
425 South Lindbergh
St. Louis, MO 63131-2799

Metro Catholic CONFERENCE

School      League     Overall      PF-PA   
 
DeSmet       4-0      10-1      352-163      
SLUH       3-1        7-3      234-136      
CBC       2-2        8-3      227-137      
Chaminade  1-3        3-7      152-222      
Vianney       0-4        2-8      127-247

Last year  3-7 as you can see ,but they have sent
players to the Big Ten so there must be some talent rolling
through the halls at times.

obviously not a powerhouse...ive always been partial to players that come from winning programs but you never know...5 from the same school is interesting...

Bonzo,
The #6 ranking in the SAEN was for the Tiger women in Pre-season DIII Volleyball. They are probably better than that; the season starts next Friday.

BFB,
  Where did you get the figures for Millsaps?  I'm curious to know and I don't fault you at all....but Millsaps has never in the history of the school had a FY class of 400, and they were no where close this year.

On another note, I'm going to have a look at the Majors' Purple and White scrimmage tomorrow....should be interesting.....particularly since their projected starting QB is likely out for several weeks with a shoulder injury.  We'll see if that's the case......

[Ron Boerger]

Consultant, Millsaps was the one school for which I could not find a definitive freshman class size.  I estimated 400 based on a total enrollment of 1200 ... but just now found a millsaps.edu profile page placing Millsaps' enrollment at 1076 undergrads.  300-325 seems more likely, making the size of this year's incoming FB class all the more impressive.

When I was at DePauw we had number of people from the St. Louis area there, with a handful of Missouri boys on the team.

I agree it's nice to have athletes from winning h.s. programs on the team, but you can't count out the hunger to win from the guys on the team who did not have successful high school squads.

Anyone make it to the TU scrimmage today?

[consultant]

Bedtime,
    Man, I like the educated guess on the Millsaps entering class.  If only that were the case!  Thanks for clarifying.

Millsaps Purple and White scrimmage report......

A nice crowd was on hand for the no contact, controlled scrimmage on Saturday.  They ran a very basic offensive package, so it was hard to get a grasp of any strengths and weaknesses.  Looks like the roster will fill out at 89 players.  Several guys with nagging injuries were held out of the workout for precautionary reasons. 

Of particular interest is the status of projected starting quarterback Raymece Savage (So.)  Despite my earlier report of a possible severe injury, Raymece has nothing more than a bruise and a muscle strain and is expected to start next Saturday at Huntingdon.  However, he was held out of today's scrimmage. 

Hopefully Millsaps will keep its doors open at the beginning of the week as Hurricane Katrina is projected to make her way straight up I 55.  The Jackson area is expected to see 6-8 inches of rain and sustained winds of up to 75 mph.

Any Information On Depauw's Scrimmage yesterday?

[Ron Boerger]

Good luck to all those in the way of this dreadful storm.  Students/faculty at Millsaps (Jackson, MS), Huntingdon, and Rhodes all could be in harm's way as it progresses, and of course the poor people of New Orleans will bear the brunt of the damages.  Stay safe!

[exmajor]

Bedtime,

I can't believe you picked Huntingdon against the Majors on the ASC pick'em page! Oh well, I'll take your points.

On another note, our thoughts go out to those in the path of Katrina today!

[Ron Boerger]

Two young teams, also not certain whether Raymece Savage will be at full speed.  Both teams played much better at the end of last season, went with the home 'dog.
