FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

According to today's Trinitonian, Jacob Cannon is the likely starter at QB on Saturday (vs Redlands). Coach Mohr is quoted as saying there is an "outside" chance Blake Barmore could play.

After a couple of Monon Bell wins, this Dick in particular will be one of the few that you Wabash folk don't like.

ZINGER!

No scoring in 2nd half. Austin College beats Kalamazoo 17-14.

Rhodes wins over Centre 20-10.

it was 10-6 at half after Centre beat Rhodes deep for a TD, then Rhodes came back with a TD run by Bobby Martin, but the snap on the PAT was bad and the kick was never attempted.

centre never scored in the second half, even after Rhodes opened up the half sloppy giving the ball to Centre on turnovers on the first two drives.

Rhodes scored in the 4th quarter twice on goal line runs by Ty Lake. Centre never had another opportunity to get close.

it was a great game, both teams played well. The Lynx defense stepped it up again this week, especially in the fourth quarter when Keller Bankston intercepted the QB to set up the last score.

The Lynx scored on a drive from their own 4 yd line to go ahead. The drive was held up by a pass interference call and a great scramble from QB Mark Young.

It really was a great game and the Lynx look like a team that could make some noise. A few things need to be worked out, but it is early and they look good. Defense is solid. Offense is coming together very well. They could surprise a few people this year in the SCAC. And... they're looking for revenge on every SCAC opponent after a dissapointing season last year. This is going to be a lot of fun.

GO LYNX!!!!!

Trinity leads Redlands 21-3 at the half.

Trinity defense plays great again - 6 picks, 10 points allowed.

The offense still looks like they're trying to find an identity. The running game looked a little better, but I'll bet it's not where Coach Mohr wants it. Jake looked pretty good, completed something like 11 of 16 passes for 3 TD's. Here's hoping they improve a little more going in to conference play.

The Tiger D is legit...the Black Flag is definitely back!

I wonder if 6 INTs is a school record.

Going to be an interesting matchup with DePauw next weekend, for sure.

Well, Huntingdon got lucky today and got out of Millsaps with the W. After holding Millsaps' offense pretty much in check for the first half, HC got a TD at the end of the first half then got the ball first and drove down and scored to go up 21-7 early in the second half. I thought, well we can relax a little now. Nope. Millsaps obviously found something at halftime in our defense because Tyson Roy ran ALL OVER US the rest of the game. We never found any answer for what they were doing. We lucked up when Millsaps scored with 1 second left to make it 35-34 and decided to go for two but had some confusion and tried to call a timeout they didn't have and got a delay of game. After the penalty they decided to kick and go for the tie but we blocked it for the win. Either we aren't as good as we think, or Millsaps is the best 0-3 team in the country. They seem like if they can work a couple of things out on defense, they have a chance to make some noise when they start conference play.
On to Memphis to play Rhodes next week. Hopefully we can get some things straightened out before then.

Well, gang - what's the deal? Key conference matchup, and no commentary? I know it's early in the week, but let's hear it! I figured that by now we'd no doubt have seen some haiku response about Trinity's dominance, and some wally's superfluous commentary about something he knows nothing about.

Where you guys at?

Ron Boerger · September 18, 2006, 05:52:27 PM

Maybe those of us on the Texas side would like to know who will be the QB will be for TU this week before mouthing off ;-)

scotty · September 18, 2006, 05:58:49 PM

Depauw is starting a "real" Dick at quarterback...but we already discussed that...btw, Hope had an awful lot of sacks against Depauw...is that in the Trinity arsenal...

btw, can someone explain to me the advantage for Depauw being in the SCAC...never could get it...

HunterT · September 18, 2006, 07:35:26 PM

I have to correct my message about Saturday's Rhodes/Centre game. Rhodes' quarter back is Mark OLIVER, not Mark Young.

Sorry for the confusion, apparently I enjoyed my first real tailgate in 5 years a little too much. What can I say, I had a great time and enjoyed the game, is that so bad???

benbraddock · September 18, 2006, 08:44:34 PM

Scotty, I'm glad the Wabash faithful are still unable to get Dick out of their collective mind, but let's grow up a bit. Anyway, a little bit about DePauw and the SCAC...President Bottoms was hoping to get into a southern conference (he's from Alabama if I'm not mistaken) so DePauw could recruit more students from the south. He also wanted a conference with schools with similar academic reputations as DPU. They were in the ICAC which had a number of schools with some "suspect" academic requirements. So, they looked at the NCAC (a more obvious choice), but geographically I guess it wasn't what Bottoms wanted. So, the Tigers accepted an invitation to join the SCAC. If I'm wrong on any of this feel free to correct me, but this is what I was told by a former Kinesiology professor who was there throughout it all (not Coach Nick).

My opinion is that it is a great conference to be in. While I can't say I enjoyed the cramped 12 hour baseball bustrips or the hassles of airports and flying to Trinity and Millsaps for football, but I'm glad I was able to experience it...it was a TON of fun. Being a kid from a little town in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, being able to travel around the South and see a number of sites was something I will never forget.

Here's my contribution for the week, as I think we'll be in good shape with either quarterback.

If the Greencastle Tigers are going to ever beat the San Antonio Tigers, they better get it done this year. I don't think Trinity's ever had so many injuries at key positions.

Does anyone know the status of Phillip Kownslar?

With Trinity's injuries, and the way their schedule looks in the upcoming weeks (this week with Depauw, at Huntingdon, at Centre) are we looking at a possible 2, 3, or God forbid, even a 4 loss season?

Huntingdon played TU tough last year in SA, and now has to go to Montgomery? I played there last year, and that city is CRAZY over the Hawks, and will be looking for revenge from last years loss.

Centre has always been a tough place to play, and with a bye the week before TU comes to town, will be ready to play. After this past Saturday's game, they were a couple plays form a different result, and by late October, should have those ironed out.

Does that mean that this week with Depauw is the turning point in Trinity's season?
