Thanks, MM and IM for the DP contact info.  He does a great job on the call of the game.

Coach Dubos should print and post the POTW sweep by DePauw in every players locker.  If that isn't foder for getting up for the next few games, I don't know what is.

Somehow I don't think that's going to be a problem.

And c'mon, this is only the second SCAC loss in DuBose's coaching career, and the first road loss.   Both are pretty amazing stats when you think about it.

Millsaps Webcast Fans:   I've spoken with quite a few fans who discussed some of the video issues on the webcasts, esp at away games.  In a nutshell, these issues (minor though they may be) centered around the rapid camera pans and extended scoreboard shots after every play, leading to missed pre-and post-play action.  I queried about this and here is an excerpt of a reply from SID at Millsaps which pretty much explains it all and answers the questions:


"We've been working on this for two years now and try to explain to people, but a lot of times they don't understand. When we go on ROAD football games, the filmer we use is filming for Millsaps football, not for the webcast. Their company is paid to shoot an end zone shot and wide shot, which is what you're seeing on road football games when they pan to the scoreboard right after a play. That's their job. They also do this with all HOME games, but then we have our own student that I pay to shoot for the webcast only (which is why there are never any complaints).

What it comes down to is travel costs. Right now we can't afford to send another person on the road, so we go with what we have. Trust me, I've been trying to stress this to our staff for awhile now, but they just don't understand. But it's the best we can do and a FREE service for our viewers. It's something I've been trying to fix before every road game, but just not happening. If we can't send someone this Saturday, be prepared for the same thing because it's been like this for every road game since last season."

Millsaps has what has to be one of the best SI departments I've encountered and they do a whole lot with a small staff and budget.  Yet even with such constraints, that office always is looking to do even more and takes the time to respond to a supporter's email!  Well done!


....and now back to the football!!!!

D3 Team of the Week released. Congrats to Millsaps' Lawrimore and DePauw's Wrona. I'm stunned, like Juan Joseph TOTW stunned, that Alex Koors did not get it at WR. The guy with 20 catches for 295 yards hands down deserved it, but Koors' stats were better than the other two receivers who beat him out.

I just don't understand the TOTW selections sometimes. And yes, I understand there are tons of nominees.

That is ridiculous a guy with 8 catches for 212 yards and two TD's doesn't get it. Just crazy.

[DPU3619]

Koors has already earned that award this season after the Anderson game.  There are enough teams in this country with good WR's that somebody shouldn't be on it two times in four weeks, frankly.

That's not really the point of the Team of the Week, I don't believe.

I am so excited, I had no idea that my son made the DIII team of the week, until just now when I went to the Millsaps site and there was the article. I know he hates it when I discuss him, but geez, both myself and MajorDad are darn proud of him.

Enjoy every minute of it Millsaps mom..... Congrats

Who cares if he's already earned it. When you eclipse the 200-yard mark, you should be a strong contender. I'm confused that you wouldn't want your own player to earn the national recognition? If someone has 15 tackles and an INT in back-to-back weeks, are you saying don't even nominate if they won it the week before? That's odd.

And I guess I'll lose a karma point for not agreeing with you. Oh well, can't agree with everything. That would make it just boring.

[DPU3619]

Because we aren't talking about the Heisman Trophy.  It's a chance for some young men to get a little recognition for what they're accomplishing.  I think Pat would be the first to tell you he's going to give somebody else a chance to be on that team as opposed to giving it to the same players who put up big numbers every week.  If he goes 10 for 200 with 2 or 3 TD's every week, he's not going to be on it all 9 weeks.  Each week isn't a vacuum for the team of the week and it shouldn't be at this level.  It's not what this level of football is about.  There's a hell of a lot of things more important than being on a Team of the Week.  Koors is on a SCAC POTY pace.  He might even be on a Gagliardi pace, although it's pretty early for that. 

I'm not losing any sleep over it.  He's already been recognized for what he's accomplished so far.  I can't understand why people take their players not being on that team as some kind of screw job.  There are 200 teams playing every Saturday.  What's the big deal?  If you are playing football or you sent your son to play football at this level for the recognition, I can assure you that you are in it for the wrong reason.
