Am I to assume that you think chris should have made the ballot?  Sorry I forgot to put a none of the above option on there.  Good luck to TU and chris is 06

Alright, guys.  Let's get some perspective.  He's a non-scholarship player.  Normally, you don't make a tailback wait a year if he's that good.  I hope he's great, but let's not start this now.

TU2698;

All Division III athletes are "non-scholarship" including all those listed on the ballot above.  Check the URL of this site, get off your high horse and support the athletes or move on over to a D-1 message board with that weak stuff.  An athlete's choice of schools is not only based upon D-1 offers or scholarship opportunities.  Or do you think that all D-III athletes are second-rate?

Don't get me started ... 

[evacuee]

Whoa.  Easy big Daddy!

I know everyone's non-scholarship.  I was just trying to shed light on that.  I do think that if he were as good as y'all are saying he is, he would be on scholarship somewhere.  I'm not saying that no one on the team is deserving of a scholarship, but no collegiate athlete deserves all this hype until he's proved his mettle in crunch time.  That's the difference between our circle of fans and the legions of idiots that pin all their hopes and dreams on recruting class rankings in Division I.  I tend to think most people on this board are a little more realistic.  Apparently, there are exceptions, and your enthusiasm is your right. 

I'm just not about to contribute to putting undue pressure on the kid.  I'd support him whether he set records or was left off the travel team.  You really think that anyone who would dump on d3 would even read this board much less post?  Every other fall, I pass on the LSU/Alabama game so that I can drive three hours to watch Millsaps host Trinity so don't tell me to get off my high horse and go to a D1 page.

Before you go on attacks like that, especially against your own, maybe you should remember where you are.

And yes, if you put Mt Union up against any playoff team in Division II/NAIA, I suspect they'd get smoked, just like we couldn't hold up against Azusa Pacific.

My son just met with coach Reha, he told him that Nystrom (DC) is leaving DePauw, yet another blow to an already sketchy situation.  DC has been there all of 1/2 a year and is moving on.

[scotty]

tigerdadplm, wasnt he brought in over Kaz last year...what is going on down in Greencastle...or is that Mr Rodgers Neighborhood

[tigerdadplm]

The way I understand it is they fired Hill to hire Nystrom.

Nystrom when hired was given all of Kaz's responsibilities (DC/s&c). 

Kaz stayed on board through the season and left to be the Butler DC after Long turned it down. 

Nystrom left this week leaving the Tigers without a DC, DB coach, Safeties coach, S&C coach

....oh and by the way the GA/LB coach left this week as well.

Spring practice starts in less than a month

tigerdadplm, i have to say, i am not surprised...i hope for the players sake that it will settle down...

[TigerDad]

TU2698;  Fair enough.  As hindsight is 20/20, I reckon I deserved that as I did pounce a bit hard.  I still maintain that the D-1 and D-2 levels miss some of the best athletes. Scholarships given do not a player make.  However, your point is well taken about waiting until performance is proven at any level.  We have all witnessed the dozens of recruits and high draft picks who disappear into the night without ever matching their hype.

Personally, I am quite familiar with some players' past performances ... we shall all see what the future holds with the 2006 TU Tigers.  Appreciate your insight and my apologies for any offense given ... we shall cheer side-by-side soon enough.  Perhaps at Davis Field on Nov 11th?

[historymajor]

Glad to see you guys sharing hugs and kisses!  There's room for both of you in my sensitivity training class....

[evacuee]

Me?  What are you talking about?   You should have seen what I almost posted before a massive edit. 

Yeah, I'll probably be at the game in Jackson next fall.  For anyone that hasn't seen the renovation to that stadium, do yourselves a favor and head out there.  It looks fantastic. 

That was quite a retraction TigerDad.  I applaud you.

[historymajor]

See, that just proves that everyone can "just get along"!!!!

[exmajor]

now if we can get our team to look good playing at a nice field like Harper Davis is, the Majors will be in good shape! 

[Superfoot Wallace]

News Reporter:  The teams looking pretty good this year coach.

Coach:  Yeah, Ive gotta agree, but Id trade em all for one ugly guy who can hit.
