Any Rhodes Updates?

[Ron Boerger]

Sorry, Dan, but there aren't any radio broadcasts so the only way to get the score will be when one of the SIDs updates it.  The last score was Rhodes up 29-27 at the start of the fourth ... some time ago. 

[DanSwan]

Bummer, Rhodes lost.
30-29

Millsaps seemed fired up for homecoming yesterday and beat Rhodes with a field goal with under 2 minutes left.  It was a sloppy game with lots of turnovers.  Millsaps played their third string QB and he was pretty efficient.  Tyson Roy was running well into the 4th quarter but seemed to be hampered by an ankle injury again.  I have to admit I probably spent too much time in the endzone drinking beer and not watching the whole game, but Millsaps seems to have a good group of guys to bring back next year and make some kind of run.  The trip to SA next week might be ugly!

To the DePauw faithful

What have you done today to beat Wabash!

To the Depauw faithful:

A special thread has been created in the General Football area of Post Patterns dedicated to the 112th Monon Bell Classic.  The Wabash faithful will be more than happy to answer your questions about '05's Little Giants, as well as help to prepare you for the traumatic experience that is forthcoming on Saturday, namely watching your playoff bid fade away like the ring of the Monon Bell will do all the way back to C'ville.  It's hard enough to lose the Monon Bell, but missing the playoffs as well...well that's just salt in the wound. 

Consider this post as your invitation to the Monon Bell thread where you can have all of your outstanding questions about Wabash football addressed, find out what chance you really have on Saturday, as well as take care of your therapeutic needs. 

See you on Saturday.

Shucks, wally.  You're a real sweetheart.  Thanks for that warm and sincere invitation.   

[Li'l Giant]

He gets excited doesn't he? 

Please, though, do come discuss the game. I'm curious to hear about potential matchups and players to watch. I've not paid very much attention to you guys this year and am anxious to learn more before the game.

[CentreDad]

Just to give credit for good academic performance:
Ross Weitoff of Depauw and Michael Swartzentruber of Centre were both semi-finalists for the Draddy trophy - National Football Federation Scholar-Athelete Award.  Neither made the final list, but congratulations to both.

So...do I even have any reason to get energy up to pull for Millsaps this weekend?  Ron? historymajor? Your thoughts?

[consultant]

Radio Guy,

Yeah, man.....pull for the Majors!  With a conference win under their belts, the Majors will be focused on upsetting Trinity.  They will at least be geared up for it if nothing else.  The Millsaps' offense was able to move the ball well against Rhodes this past weekend....turnovers kept them from scoring more and led to a bunch of Rhodes' points.  Defensively, the Majors looked pretty good....pitched a shutout in the second half and held Rhodes to just 54 yards on the ground for the game.

The TU Tigers just keep winning.... Sewanee was a game bunch!  Much more than I expected.  I don't see Millsaps coming to SAT and pulling an upset....  my call is TU 41 - MC 21.... (hope they enjoy the Riverwalk)

21 points on the Black Flag, Bob?

[akfox37]

trinity's D will NOT give up 21 points. Keep in mind that they only gave up 23 points to TLU (and one of the scores was a defensive one) and TLU has an explosive offense. The defense has been improving week by week as they havent given up a touchdown since they played Centre over 2 weeks ago who's offense was also supposed to be good but they played lights out. The offense has been inconsistent...but thats not going to matter if the defense keeps palying the way it has been.

[historymajor]

Ok,,, I'll give the BF their props TU 41 - MC 10
