What difference does it make what side of the field he sits on. There are usually better seats on the visitors side.

Now that the rust if off following the first games, let's see just how all these teams look (from either side of the field  .)

I haven't scoped out Lagrange's linemen's size, but I hope they are a bit lighter than MC.  Watching that line was like watching a hammer fall at times.

If not for a couple dropped passes and two stupid personal fouls in succession, I believe that Millsaps would have edged out a victory.

[Pat Coleman]

I'm sure Ron has had his fill of sitting on the home side from the times he's been put in the stands with a media credential.

Well put TU2698!  Maybe when/if TU spins the field around due to renovations we can all enjoy sitting on the Bell Center side 'together' Kum-by-ya (sp). ETG did not deserve to be blasted the way he was!  'Nuf said.

I don't know much about the "blood" (good or bad) among the folks who post here, but I pretty much agree with this. I'm not much for sitting on a crowded, too-small, metal bench seat with my knees bumping up against the stadium chair in front of me. I've thought about sitting on the other side too.

One positive way to look at people feeling the need to sit on the visitors side is that it probably means the home side is full which is never a bad thing.

I long for the days that my team gets there own stadium and I hope they build it a size that we can get close to filling for a good game.

I've been known to sit on the visitor side at Wabash - easier for the kids to bounce around without disturbing anybody.  Plus you can hear some interesting "discussions" on the opposing sidelines!  I see nothing wrong with sitting over there - just don't be overly zealous in rooting for your team - tends to incite the opposing fans.

Of course, there is one game where I would NEVER sit on the visitor side (it's filled up anyway)!

[Gray Fox]

I like sitting on the visitors side.  The fans are there to watch the game and not socialize, and they are knowledgeable about the team.

[DPU3619]

Michael Engle looking very, very sharp early.  The Old Gold is in for the second time.  14-0 early second.  Engle working a 10-13 for 116 & the 2 TD's.

[Ron Boerger]

Centre up 3-0 at Maryville with the first quarter coming to an end.

Millsaps just fumbled into their own endzone, trail LaGrange 7-14 with about five minutes to play in the first half.  Shane Bowser has 89 yards and the TD for Millsaps. 

[DPU3619]

Nice little 2 minute drive right before the half.  28-3 in the locker room.  Engle 19-27 for 203 with 4 TD's & 1 INT.  D has held to the tune of 79 yards.  They gave the FG after a kickoff return to the 13 yard line.

[Ron Boerger]

Centre is driving all over the place on Maryville but can't punch it in.  A first-and-goal from the two yields only a FG (the other FG came after 1-and-G from the one).  6-0 and Centre has the ball back again.    Remember that MV lost 54-3 to Huntingdon last week ...

Austin holds TLU on its first drive, drives 74 yards in 7 plays to take an early 7-0 lead at home.  QB Travis Zambiasi has only thrown one pass so far but made it count, a 39-yarder to Braydon MaQuar.  

WashU scores on its opening drive, 75 yards in 6 plays, lead Rhodes 7-0.  

Millsaps still trails 14-7 to LaGrange at the half.  They're outgaining LG 163-106, but three turnovers, the first a pick six, are hurting so far today.  

[Ron Boerger]

After an interception near midfield, Rhodes ties it up with a 22 yard pass from Tyler Perkins to Buddy Legens.  7-all with 11:44 to play in the second quarter.

Centre comes just short on a fourth-and-three at the MV 19.   Good thing the MV offense is pitiful.  

Second half underway at Lagrange.

Puntfest in Sherman, still 7-0 there with 13:06 to play in the first half.   AC does have more passing yards than rushing.

[Ron Boerger]

Shane Bowser scores from a yard out, putting the finish on a 12-play, 60-yard drive to pull Millsaps into a 14-14 tie at Lagrange.  The Majors dodged another bullet when they recovered their own fumble at the Lagrange 25. 

Blake Towery is now in at QB for Austin.

Centre still leads MV 6-0 at the half. 

Hey, Wes, guess RHIT is real happy to be in the HCAC today ... 82 yards offense midway through the third?  LMAO

[DPU3619]

37-3 now.  Engle's 5th TD of the day.  Needs one more to tie Spud for the school record. 

Ron, you aren't kidding.  It has not looked good for that Engineer offense.  33 plays, 82 yards, 3 turnovers.  Meanwhile, they're letting Engle throw it all over the lot.
