FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Ralph Turner]

Too little too late!? 

The scac really needed a win yesterday. Disappointing overall.  No moral victories in the playoffs. Damn. I was hoping for at least round two, maybe round three.

Well, there's always next year.

Next year? How likely are we to get three teams sent to different parts of the bracket to break up the "Texas sub-bracket"?

DPU got way down early (28-10 at half) but have come back against TMC, converting a fourth down in their latest drive and a two point conversion to trail 35-32 early in the fourth.  According to the live stats they got four chances on the 2pt try, with two holds and a pass interference call against TMC.   

FYI --- this was a hysterical sequence... ALL three flags were thrown by the same guy...

Heck of a game.  Tigers showed no quit and took some pretty spectacular defensive plays to hang on.  Small DePauw crowd but certainly vocal in the second half.

Great move by DePauw...Robby Long officially named head coach.

Had forgotten that Robby Long wasn't the full time head coach, and definitely agree that DePauw made a good call on this one.

Also, I'm under the impression that the votes for the SCAC Post Season honors have been cast and tallied.  Maybe we will get something official today or tomorrow from the SCAC home office.

SCAC Post Season Awards:

SUWANEE, Ga. - DePauw University and Millsaps College each went 5-1 in league play to share the 2009 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) football crown.

Senior quarterback Chris Graves of Millsaps College has been named one of 10 finalists by the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame for the 2009 Cellular South Conerly Trophy, given annually to the state's top player at a four-year institution.


Chris Graves' performance this year has been one of quiet accomplishment.  For a first year starter to set passing records is truly impressive.  I hope he gets the nod on Monday!!

I don't have a problem with a fan focusing on the award winners from their school.  AND with that in mind, let me congratulate the following Millsaps Players:

---Will Hawkins wins the SCAC Defensive POTY award, his second top award of 2009 as he also won the SCAC Offensive POTY in baseball last spring.  First male to win dual sports awards in SCAC history (aside from the cross country and track combo).  Liz Bondi of DePauw won two POTY awards in Basketball and three in tennis.

---Michael Galatas wins his second straight SCAC Special Teams POTY.  My understanding it that Michael will add a second sport to his resume when the Track and Field program starts up at Millsaps this spring.
