PM back at you Roo!  Sorry for my bad manners.

...Of course, DPU's stud Spud will have something to say about that as well. And who knows what surprises may await...

Valid point, particularly since he was 20-26 for 254 with 4 TD's against this club a year ago.  Looks like we had a lot of good QB play in Week 1.

Had a somewhat long post written last night/this morning around 1.  Went to post it and lost it all with a "website not found" screen.  I forget to always do Ctrl A and copy before hitting that post button.

Mostly I was posting the link to the Millsaps vs. MC photos for any Millsaps fans that might be reading but not posting.  Here's that link:

How much respect will AC earn IF they take it to McM this saturday? Trinitys trouble with " the nation" has me wondering about power shifts in the scac. Man I love football season!

Random Musings   re: Millsaps v. Miss Coll

1)  Frank:  Thanks for the hard work and so much time in posting your terrific photos ( I am in one of the crowd shots, but I ain't telling which one!!! lol)
2)  re:  MC v. MC    Seeing so many of the players cramping, etc. and needing serious icing down, IVs...makes me wonder what a daytime 80 degree plus game will look like.
3)  I was pretty impressed with Graves at QB and thought he did a solid job.  Noticed he got a few words o' wisdom from Juan Joseph toward the end of the game...Let's put a coaches cap on Juan and put him on the sideline!
4)  Enjoyed the kicking game from both Russolino and Larimore.  That 47 yard FG was made with no hesitation!
5)  Saw Peters play through some serious pain, yet he seemed to be all over that field...good hustle!
6)  Double overtime games wear me out!!   Too much suspense!!

The last play is caught from two angles.

Be careful, RooBro ... crow can be a bit gamey this early in the season!  If the 'Roos are headed to Abilene, they'd better take their earplugs.  Might be an Air Raid comin'

I was raised a UNT fan, so I have tasted the black bird before, and will no doubt savor its juicy meat again. I was in Abilene 2 years ago for an AC loss and have plenty of concern for the new look Indians. Football is a beautiful game in that change is not always better. I am an old O-lineman and know how a high powered throwing team can look silly without the ball.

[roocru]

I believe I am going to make it to Abilene the see AC vs. McMurry.  Are there any other Roo posters that plan to make it?

A brief mention about Millsaps in today's local newspaper:

http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20090909/SPORTS030105/909090329/1085/NOTEBOOK--Belhaven-s-next-task--Tackle-feisty-Millsaps

A preview of this weeks game with Belhaven from the Millsaps website (I was surprised to read that Millsaps was 0 for 10 on third down conversions last Saturday):

http://www.gomajors.com/news/2009/9/8/FB_0908092941.aspx

Regarding Austin College:  I wish them well this week against McMurry and a win would certainly be great for the AC team.  However, it will be the next week when they host Millsaps that we'll get a better idea of how they are progressing with regards to the SCAC competition.  As one who witnessed an abrupt and remarkable turnaround at Millsaps in recent years, I know that teams can improve a lot in a hurry.  I certainly don't see the Austin game next week as a tuneup for Trinity or a guaranteed win.  But for now, the Belhaven game is the only one that matters and I expect the Majors will be a much sharper team this Saturday than what they showed at the beginning of the MS College game.

WE HAVE A VOTE!  WE HAVE A VOTE! WE HAVE A VOTE!


Sorry, I know its not he biggest deal in the world but compared to how awful things have been since I started at AC in '01 this is really happy news. 

Now hopefully they can keep it up against a suddenly dangerous McMurry!

[DPU3619]

Poll on the front page is kind of a head-scratcher for me...

Which of the 6 ranked teams that debut Saturday (#5 Wheaton, #7 UW-SP, #12 Cortland St, #17 Hobart, #18 Montclair St, #23 DePauw) is most likely to lose? 

UW-SP is playing a ranked Central team.  Hobart's playing a pretty darned good Dickinson team.  Wheaton only beat Bethel 10-7 last year.  Montclair St beat Wilkes by 7 last year.  Meanwhile, DePauw is playing a team that they've beaten by a combined 75 points over the last two seasons, yet DePauw is leading the poll by a pretty wide margin.

[FBCleatus]

Roocru, I will be making the trip to Abilene to support the Roos.  Maybe we can surprise Mr "Air Raid". 

[Pat Coleman]

Probably people thinking that since DePauw is the lowest-ranked team on the board it makes the most sense.
