FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Speaking of SA, contrary to earlier forecasts it looks like the game tonight should be dry (or nearly so). 

You jinxed it.  Way to go, Ron.

Bad karma

[Ron Boerger]

Is it actually raining there?  Still doesn't look like there's anything there according to the radar, but there is stuff in the vicinity.

There's something about DPU and TU playing in SA.  We all know about the hurricane last year, but I do believe that three years ago the game was also interrupted by lightning similar to what's going on tonight.

It's not raining at my house. I'm only about 5 miles from Trinity. But there has been a lot of lightning.

Sources with WGRE Sports are reporting an estimated restart time of 11:15 Central time. The storm is moving, but very slowly, and lightning is still in the vicinity.

Wow. They're gonna be out there until 2 a.m. This is brutal. For such an important game it's a shame it has to be played under those conditions.

I wonder if the turf is still down at the Dome from the Army/A&M game.

That's straight from the source down there. There are momentum-killers, and then there's this - DPU had stonewalled the Trinity offense and was ready to attempt a field goal from close range to try and draw first blood.

I believe our start time has been amended to We-have-no-freaking-idea pm.

Sources say.

[DPU3619]

Also, the WGRE crew said that they were playing this game no matter what.  There wasn't a curfew for these sorta things in Texas, and this one is going to get played.

DPU's flight is early..I was told 8 am or so.  Better get done by 5 then, I suppose.

[Ron Boerger]

I hope the DPU players are not having to wait all this time in the crackerbox visitor locker room.

Send 'em down to Bombay Bicycle Club for a few beers.

Can't really imagine where else they might put 'em.

Side note: If OWU runs up 30 on you guys, you can't defend your own lunch.

Since we have nothing much else to do, it looks like you Wabash folk can actually play a little D.  Only 28 to OWU.  Showing me up big time.

Pacman,

I will defend my less talented players statement by saying that Rhodes has a bit higher academic standards then other schools that are not bent for football players.  And, in the event that the standards are bent, the player usually doesn't last past a semester because they fail out.  So Rhodes typically has to recruit from a smaller pool then most other teams in the SCAC.

Are you implying that Trinity and DePauw have different admissions standards for student-athletes, particularly football players, than for the general student body? 

If so, that's a bold statement (and 100% inaccurate from the TU side at least).  Can you clarify your statement?

Well, 7 of those points were the result of a kickoff return. So, spread some love to the Special Teams too.

My sound card on my computer blew out tonight.  Has anyone heard anything about Austin College/SWAG tonight or would someone mind checking their radio broadcast since there is little else to do right now.
