Windy City Warrior, long time listener, first time caller ?

[HoosierQBScout]

the minority hire comment makes no sense at all...
any credible comments regarding the long term nature of the hire/ does it sound as though walker is the guy---long term?

[scotty]

i read it as a long term commitment...hope Coach Walker has a good agent 

[Ron Boerger]

Question with Walker is simple:  is it reasonable to ask one man to be the head coach for both baseball and football on a long-term basis?   I would not be surprised to see them look for another baseball coach if Walker works out.   

Meanwhile, Birmingham-Southern has announced its new head football coach, Joey Jones; see Notables.  The Birmingham News also has a story ... the school will be spending between $2 and $3 million on facilities, including stadium/field, track, locker rooms, and coaches' offices.

Ron, thanks for the BSC article.

I think that the new BSC coach needs to realize that he will not be fired for losing at BSC.  He will get fired for not having a program of character, with athletes of character.

It must be exicting at BSC to see this thing building.  With the track, that means that they may add at least 3 sports, and I will bet they add Swimming and Diving as well.  (That is five new sports.)  They have an aquatics facility on campus.

Wow. What does Whitewater have to do to be No. 2?

Change their name to Rowan or St. John's.

Does anyone remember BSC coach Joey Jones?

Little and fast, he was one helluva receiver for the Brimingham Stallions of the USFL.  As a kid, he was one of my favorite players in the league.  He also played at BAMA

Good for him.  With DuBose at Millsaps, the Tide looks like they're taking over.   I predict Gene Stallings as the next coach at Huntingdon should Mike Turk ever move on.

NEWS FLASH: Depauw screens their email...coaches beware of what you send...word to the wise 

[benbraddock]

what exactly are you implying scotty?  did you find something out that we don't know?

[gil68]

I know I'm a little late coming into the discussion, but I am disappointed to see the coaching turnover at DePauw.  I guess this is what comes when you have Coach Nick at the helm for 20 plus years and then have a new head coach every year since.  I do wish Coach Walker the best of luck this year (in both football and baseball).  Werner99 and I played with him, and he is a stand up guy.

[DPU92]

Amen to that!  In a situation like this, Walker is a great solution to this problem.

Just saw this blurb on the Sports Illustrated page of the CNN website:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/scorecard/06/21/truth.rumors.nfl/index.html?cnn=yes

The Saints will have a press conference in Jackson, Miss., on Thursday morning to announce that they will hold training camp at Millsaps College, according to a team source. -- New Orleans Times-Picayune

[consultant]

It's the truth.  The Saints are expected to officially announce tomorrow that they will train at Millsaps this summer.  This is not new news, as Millsaps and the Saints have been working out details of the arrangement for well over a month.

The Saints will still be in town when Millsaps football players report for pre-season drills.   While there will be some minor inconveniences with the overlap (read men's and women's soccer will also be on campus early) Millsaps could not afford to let this opportunity slip by.

(El Tea Gray--re: Saints Training Camp at Millsaps)

Saints training at Millsaps "sounds good"; maybe Millsaps' officials should check with other schools as to how some NFL Teams have treated their campus/residence halls. I'm sure some have behaved very well, but others (old Houston Oilers at Trinity) "forget about it"! 

                                                       

[evacuee]

I was told that Trinity got a dorm out of the deal with the oilers, plus they donated a lot of weights.  I wasn't aware of any problems they caused.  To what are you referring?
