Why not add Huntington & LaGrange to SCAC East

I pay an awful lot of attention to the North Coast.  It's kind of my thing considering my alma mater. 

I don't want to make this sound like it's an every year thing, but I watch those guys go through tiebreaks and other such stuff trying to figure out how to keep the Kenyon's of the world from winning the Pool A in that conference.

How do you set up a conference with more than 9 teams playing football to avoid a silly tiebreak with DePauw, Millsaps, Centre, and/or Trinity?  Maybe 3 of those end up in the same division.  Maybe once every few years you get all four playing each other. 

I think we're in a situation right now where that sorts itself out.  Putting ourselves in a situation where a playoff bid is not sorted out on the field makes me antsy in the pantsy, proverbially speaking.

What do the Austin faithful think of the hire? The school seemed to move quickly in making a decision and hired a guy with real familiarity to the program which would seem to me to be a couple of good signs.

I'm glad I came back to the board in the last few days to see the bbking stuff.

Austin College has a new football coach: http://bit.ly/a2fStk

Can't decide whether I'd rather be an "OreDigger" or a "Kangaroo".

Tossup.   ;D

I can honestly say I've never heard of the Colorado School of Mines until 23 seconds ago.

Gotta tell you, I was a little overwhelmed just visiting their homepage.  Here's the "Pop Quiz" they have on on their landing page, mines.edu:
QuoteWhat disease is caused by the protist Entamoeba histolytica?

A) Malaria.

B) Sleeping sickness.

C) Amoebic dysentery.

Uhh...  I don't think this is the school for me.

EDIT: I guessed C, even though I've never heard of it, and got it correct.  ???

I can tell you first hand that Loren Dawson is a great, great guy.  You simply won't meet a guy of higher character.  I was at his press conference today, and listening to him talk, you can see why he's such a good recruiter.  He's very passionate and it's clear he really, truly cares about his players.  Additionally, there are a bunch of kids still in the program who were recruited by Dawson before he left for the School of Mines a couple years ago.

It's a very good hire for AC.

Glad to hear it. Hope he comes in and does a good job.

DePauw has scheduled a 10th game...Adrian October 16.

Like I said a couple weeks ago, I think RL would have much rather filled Week 1, but they just gave themselves a winnable in-region game.  Plus it's at home.  Can't go wrong there.

For sure. Would have been great to get week 1 filled and then have a bye week before the long trip to San Antonio. But the important thing is they are playing 10 regular season games which, unfortunately they didn't do last season.

Kangaroo without question.  Mining is dangerous.  Kangaroos are expert pugilists and have that pouch...how handy would that thing be?   :)

Obviously do not know him as well as Jekelish would, but I would echo and emphasize his sentiment regarding Coach Dawsons "character", and "passion". I would also add "familiarity" as a factor. Clearly he knows and loves Austin College and DIII football. He has a relevant track record. I do not believe the team will loose any ground and in fact may find a spark in this hire.

Nice work by Tim Millerick and the admin! Am eager to hear "roocru's" assesment...
