FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Smed, et al.... I do believe that maybe DePauw chose not to come to San Antonio out of a 'better safe than sorry' mindset.  What I objected to, and continue to defend is my belief that Trinity and the SCAC offered ideas to reschedule and it was DPU that CHOSE not to.  Ducking a hurricane is a safety issue, CHOSING not to reschedule, well you draw your own conclusions.
I too, will drop the issue and hope that the end of the season doesn't prove to unfairly deprive either of an NCAA bid if TU or DPU deserve it.  To me the best scenerio would be to have both get in, and have to face each other in the first round (in San Antone) where the original game was supposed to be played.

Hatched- buried !.......That is awful!

I'm calling PETA!

I love this stuff.  I check this board once or twice a day when I should be working, so sorry for the delay in responding to you, History Major.

The heat does get to me, yes.  It sucks in the summer and I miss the Indiana falls.  I also miss getting up for games against both Trinity and Wabash.  Call me Al Bundy, but this time of year is bittersweet for me.  Oh, and for the record, we never 'feared' your squad.  Maybe we should have, because in my time we took some nasty beatings on your campus, but we always circled the date we got to play you as the focal point of our early season.  I just think that you're a little confused to think that we would skip an opportunity to knock off the only team we have shown an inability to beat.  It's just crazy.  I'm not sure what you think they put in the water in Greencastle, but the boys up there are much like any other group of fellas who have come very close to meeting their objective the past two years -- they want to go back and finish what they started.

Don't be a tool.  Also, thanks smed for being above your hatred of DPU enought to tell the boys from Texas to settle down.  See you in G-castle for the Bell Game.

Rhodes should compete for conference titles every season.  They have a recruiting advantage over every school (Best academic school in the SCAC, rankings be damned, beautiful campus (now with new library), in an urban setting, etc.)  They should rake in great talent year after year, but they are not.  Pretty disappointing for Rhodes people I would think. 

Agreed that there is too much talent in the Memphis area not to get some, even if by accident, that would put you over the hump in the SCAC.  Rhodes campus is nice, although I wouldn't want to stray too far off campus by foot.  I would put Rhodes and DePauw in the same boat academically, with Rose-Hulman in a different boat because of their specialization in engineering.  Midtown, Beale Street, and Rendezvous over Greencastle?  Hmmm....

Dog gonnit History Major!  This is a poster's arrest!  I'm policing you to not be a tool!  I don't mean to paint with a broad brush, but that goes for the rest of you TU posters.   Except me of course.

WGRE starts coverage of DPU/Sewanee on 12:30 Saturday.

Also, if everyone from DePauw, Trinity, and the SCAC wants a bowl of ice cream, and there's no ice cream stand around, nobody gets ice cream.  DePauw wanted to reschedule as bad as TU did.  There's no ducking in the issue.  Perhaps...and just perhaps...everybody tried and it didn't work.

Maybe if TU would have played DPU on a neutral site when the game was supposed to be played...we wouldn't be in this whiny mess now would we?  There's as much ducking on your side as our side.  Rumor around my campus is that TU wouldn't play unless it was in San Antonio.  No Memphis, no Greencastle, no Crawfordsville (which was my vote...probably get more TU fans there than you would in San Antonio), or any parts in between.

That being said, none of this matters if Trinity doesn't lose.  If TU takes care of their own business, everything will be smiley faces, rainbows, and bunnies  because TU will win the conference again. I can't wait.....

why should Trinity give up a home game?  If it was going to be made up, they have every right to want it to be at home.  Besides, travel plans are very hard to make for that many people with such little notice.  Say all you want about the crap floating around your campus, but that is as stupid as Trinity people (I'm talking to you, historymajor) saying DPU ducked TU.

I sure hope DePauw comes down to San Antonio next year.  It would be unjust to send the S.A. Tigers up there in what essentially amounts to 2 years in a row.

Nope, those are the breaks.  "Unjust" is what happened to people on the gulf coast.  This is just football. 

[TigerDad]

Amen, BfB. Since Hurricane Rita was pointed at me and my family, then turned away, I am thankful for mercy and grace ... football is just a bonus. Ice cream is good too, am I right, Bonzo? Make mine Blue Bell. 

[Ralph Turner]

Tigerdad, one karma to you for that great photo of Bonzo eating Blue Bell ice cream!

[DesertLynx]

Hey smart admin/computer  guys, somethng that would be extremely helpful on this site would be a map of the Unites States with each school represented in their state.  It is very difficult to get your mind around where all these schools are from and a single visual source would be handy.

Just a thought.

I do like my ice cream, tho' I prefer Braum's to Blue Bell.  Make mine chocolate chip cookie dough 

[Pat Coleman]

Desert Lynx:

This is actually on our to-do list and is made easier by some things Google has done lately but it's far down on the depth chart compared to some of the more important day-to-day things.

That's a good choice, but I am recommending this flavor for you, BfB:
