2698, do head on over to the basketball board and leave your thoughts on the game there.  Not a whole lot of in-person reports on TU over there.

tigerdad-
I know and fully understand that Lynch did not make any staff changes, even though there were changes (e.g.  McMartin going to Central).  I also know that Lynch also completely changed the offense and significantly overhauled the defense.  I also never said that Kaz and Hill left on their own.   I know that they both have aspirations of being coordinators and/or head coaches somewhere.  Frankly, I was not sad to see Kaz leave.  I never thought he was a very good coach.  Something you may or may not have known is that Kaz actually interviewed for several positions elsewhere last year, but did not get them.  Also, I never said that changes would be done the right way.  I can't say that Coach Rogers has always done things the right way.  I was only talking about Coach Hreha's situation and not any of the other assistants.  I only was commenting on how I think it would be a shame to force out such a great man and coach.

He's just an alumnus.  His only affiliation is Kappa Sig.  I tried to get him to play but I think he was scared of me. 

I'll see you Majors fans at the hanger on Sunday.  I'm pumped for my once every two years look at the TU basketball teams. 

TU2698--I think you'll see a good game this Sunday.  I don't know if it will be Senior Day or if they will do that on Friday when the crowd should be larger.  I'll be the guy taking pictures from various locations--look for an out of shape guy with a black camera and a big white lens.

Even though you'll be supporting the "wrong" team Sunday, I appreciate your effort as an alum to support your school and the present day athletes.  I've been working some with the Millsaps athletic department on ways that they can get the alums more involved in attending athletic events (I say working, they may call it pestering).  One thing that the DuBose hiring does is it raises the profile of the program and it might encourage some alums like your friend to take a look.  Of course, that only works in the short term and for a long term renewal of interest you need results on the field.

HOW long until football season starts up again

[evacuee]

Poise, man!  Poise!  Focus on basketball while our guys get bigger in the weight room.

Bonzo,

If you call the new "Spring Training" football season (I do), then there are about seven or eight weeks until the season starts.   

TigerDad, 

Is the 2006 TU Football Schedule that you posted some time ago an "official version"; the Trinity football website still has not updated from the 2005 schedule?   

[historymajor]

ETG,,, it's official (except for the 2 TBA's regarding start times).

There's an interesting column on Mike DuBose in the Jackson newspaper today:

For those who think this is just a stepping stone job, how many years do you think it would take to get back to a D1 head coaching job.  There would be several years required to build a program and prove his worth at Millsaps.  Then maybe a few years as a coordinator.  And then maybe a head coaching job when he is about 60 unless schools feel like he is too old to hire.  And at 60, who would want to go back to the non-stop, high pressure job of a D1 head coach?  I can easily see this as a long term job for Coach DuBose.

For those who are interested, Rose-Hulman has promoted Steve Englehart to head football coach.  The Rose-Hulman release is online at

I wonder if he'll be as "lively" on the sidelines as the Karras boys were...

[DanSwan]

That isn't possible

[tigerdadplm]

I think it is possible, he's a renegade going to a renegade program...should be interesting

[buckydunk]

Renegade program... Marian college? They have never had/played football yet! What are you talking about? Coach(es) Karras' like to have fun... they played ball at Northwestern and still think that they can "whip" anybody. They are from the "region" in northwest Indiana and are typical "Bears" type guys. Against Rhodes this year after the game was sealed at the end... coach Ted and his brother Tony did their traditional "chest butt" and it was fairly close to some Rhodes players who thought that the Rose coaches were "mocking" them. They took exception and started to mouth the Karras', and of course, that is all it took! The (RHIT) players had to hold them back! Of note, Tony had to have knee surgery after the season because when he and Ted did that "chest butt" thing, he landed wrong and tore it up!

[tTU719803]

you know something is wrong when your players have to hold back your coaches from altercations with the other team
