Suwanee

It would be a nice name for a river, though.

You might want to inform the university....

The Suwannee (or Suwanee) River is located in southern Georgia and northern Florida. The river borders the Suwannee Valley and Suwannee County ... it enters the Gulf of Mexico near Suwanee, Florida. This river is the subject of the Stephen Foster song "Old Folks at Home", in which he calls it the Swanee River (because Foster had misspelled the name).

The Suwannee is not to be confused with the mountaintop town of Sewanee, Tennessee, home of the University of the South. A popular bumper sticker there reads "Sewanee is not a river".

This should also not be confused with the River Tigre near Buenos Aires, Argentina.

If so, they could be the Suwannee River Tigres.

Thanks for the help side...and some humor thrown in as well.

Anybody know how conference temas are doing in getting a 10th game scheduled thanks to the fine folks in Colorado Springs? Whose got a 10th nailed down...who doesn't? As far as I can tell DePauw does not at this point...but I'm sure they are working on it...think the options are pretty slim...

Howdy boys. Football season yet?

TigerDad · May 19, 2009, 07:13:28 AM

Nope ... still track season for a few more days!!

Trinity Tigers RB Chris Baer and OL Justin Campbell have qualified and been invited to the 2009 NCAA Division III Track & Field Championships at Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio on May 21-23 (Thu, Fri, Sat). Link: http://pioneers.marietta.edu/track/09championships/

Baer, a senior from Shiner, Texas, and two-time SCAC champion in the javelin, qualified 17th with a throw of 60.60 meters (198 ft 10 in). Last year at the DIII National meet in Oshkosh, his school record toss of 62.55 meters (204 ft 2 in) won him fifth place and All-American status. Baer was also a first-team all-SCAC selection at running back and the leading rusher in the conference in 2008.

Campbell, a first-year from Victoria, Texas, qualified 10th nationally in the discus throw (165 feet, 4 inches; 50.40 meters). In his high school career, Campbell was a stand-out discus thrower, medalling in the Texas Class 5A state meet in both his junior and senior seasons.

Trinity University seniors Todd Wildman (110m & 400m Hurdles, LJ & HJ), Emily Loeffler (3000m Steeplechase), D'Ann Arthur (10,000m), and Elizabeth Eder (10,000m) also qualified for the national meet.

Thanks to my lovely wife for buying me an airline ticket for my birthday ... I will be attending the meet this week! I hope to see Trinity bring home some hardware!

And, perhaps, see McMurry repeat as DIII champs, Ralph?

GO TIGERS!!

QuotePREDICTED TEAM SCORES
1 McMurry University ~~58.0~~ 50.0 (~~100~~, 200, 400, 4X100, 4X400, LJ, LJ, HJ, PV)
2 Univ of St. Thomas 45.0 (400, 800, 1500, 400H, 4X100, 4X400, LJ, HT)
3 Wisconsin La Crosse 37.0 (1500, 1500, STEEP, 4X100, 4X400, SP, DT)
4 Wisconsin Oshkosh 36.0 (1500, 5000, 10000, 400H)
5 Mississippi College 31.5 (110H, LJ, TJ, HJ)
6 Trinity U (Texas) 25.0 (110H, 400H, HJ)

Strike Ollison from the 100M. I think that it may take more than 35 points to win this year and the Wisconsin schools may be back.

Right now, St Thomas is my favorite. (I don't want to jinx myself. They came on strong in the late season, as it happens every year for northern teams.)

Lewis and Clark has replaced CC with Crown. So that eliminates a couple of possibilities.
