FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[frank_ezelle]

I've been checking the Millsaps website and an employee at Millsaps said they would let me know if any information went out via campus email.  So far there's been no news.  Maybe tomorrow will be the day.

Nothing on the Millsaps website to start off the day.  I know this is starting to feel like that cartoon strip with Lucy holding the football and Charlie Brown hoping this might be the one time when Lucy doesn't pull the ball away at the last second.  Like Charlie Brown, I start this day thinking that it will be the day that Millsaps announces the new coach.

Many times I've said that I'm not much of an insider when it comes to Millsaps athletics.  However, sometimes I hear things from reliable sources.  While I don't know who will be the pick, I've heard enough about those in the running to feel confident that Millsaps will be in good hands next season.  And whoever that person will be, they are going to have to be sharp right from the start.  The 7 SCAC opponents certainly provide a challenge, especially with road trips to Trinity and Cente, and the non-conference games are MS College and Huntingdon.  There aren't many breathers on a schedule like that.

The official announcement from Millsaps on the new head football coach will be on Monday, March 1 at 9 a.m.

The only reason it wasn't sooner is because Tim Wise is too worried about his basketball team this weekend over the entire athletic program. Which is understandable, but is why we need a full-time AD.

No clue who we'll get, but my head says Aaron Pelch, former associate head coach who was with the Oakland Raiders last year.

I thought that very thing last night. How the heck is your A.D. going to have a football presser in the middle of this huge bball tourney that he has to coach in and is being run by an SID who hasn't done it before. That'll make for some busy days, there.

You got that right, on both thoughts. Rumor is too, that the 2011 SCAC Tournament is back here in Jackson (as of now). After this go around, that will probably tell the tale. If it stinks, no way. But if it comes together as a good site(s), then it will be back here next year. We shall see.

I can't imagine it not going well. While it's a busy few days, it's not exactly rocket science to put it on. Rhodes did so well all those years when the Asst. A.D. is their men's coach and the SID is their men's coach.

Here's to a successful tournament!

Anyone got any info on this guy???

I'm guessing you haven't followed Millsaps before this year. He was our associate head coach and special teams coach from 2006-08 and helped us win three straight SCAC Special Teams Players of the Year. Not to mention three straight SCAC Championships. He'll be a good fit.

Yeah I dont follow Millsaps football. Just interested in who they hire.

Johnny, tell him what he's won.....

Another negative karma point! Yes! Now -9 and counting!

I think the biggest turnaround in D3message board history is HistoryMajor. I remember one time seeing his total at -15 or something. And now it's at +4? Very interesting. That's quite a turnaround and should be documented somewhere if I can make a run back into the plus side.

Trinity has posted their 2010 football schedule - ten D3 games.  The non-conference match-ups are home vs. Howard Payne to open the season and at Texas Lutheran and Huntingdon later in the year.

Unlike last season, there are an equal number of home and away games, but after three opening home games  the team will be on the road for five of the remaining seven.   Millsaps (week 4) and DePauw (week 8) will be making the trip to SA in 2010.
