TU2698,
Why not just relax and stay in Montgomery for a while to enjoy the victory?

But if you do go to Jackson, you can get some Red, Hot and Blue to eat after the game...now THAT'S good eating!

Since this seems to be a slow week for the SCAC, I was looking at some stats and here are a few that stood out:

Team Positive Stats*:
Rhodes - #3 in Total Defense (149 yds/gm)
Trinity - #1 in Pass Efficiency Defense (55.9 eff.)
Millsaps - #13 in Scoring Offense (38 pts/gm)
Austin - #5 in Team Net Punting (37.58 yds/punt)
Trinity - #11 in Team Kickoff Returns (26 yds/ret)

Team Negative Stats*:
Millsaps - #218 in Totaly Defense (430.5 yds/gm)
Austin - #218 in Passing Offense (67 yds/gm)
Millsaps - #221 in Pass Efficiency Defense (169.8 eff)
Centre - #227 in Team Kickoff Returns (11.2 yds/ret)

*-229 teams ranked for D-III

Individual Stats:
Tyson Roy (Millsaps) - #8 in All purpose yds (182.3 yds/gm) very impressive for a RB
Tyler Mallory (Depauw) - #7 in FG per game
Clint Rushing (Austin) - #3 in Punting (42.8 yds)
Dustin Hertel (Depauw) - #7 in TFL (2.6 per game), #13 in Sacks (1.3 per game)

While I can't image anyone really driving like a bat out of hell to catch a SCAC doubleheader, it is all a moot point.  According to the SCAC scoreboard, the Millsaps game kicks off at 1:00 and the Trinity game kicks off at 1:30.  So, knowing that you can only make one game, I think everyone should come to Jackson because it promises to be a heck of a game as Millsaps finally gets into their SCAC schedule.

If you can't get to Jackson, then listen to the game on radio.  Here's the link to the local station that carries the games:  http://www.espnradio1240.com/

Regarding last weeks game vs. Lincoln University, it obviously was a step down in competition since Millsaps was leading 42-0 at the half, but I suspect that Millsaps was a much improved team going into that game since they were coming off a bye week.  Millsaps is a 1-3 team that could easily be 3-1 and they are a team that seems capable of putting a lot of points on the board.  The big question will be how much has the defense improved during the 3 week gap between the Huntingdon game and the Centre game?  That is the factor which will most likely decide the outcome of the game and I don't know if the Lincoln game gave us a solid answer to that question.

And finally, I just posted the photos from the Lincoln University game.  Look under the "Football 2006" section on the Millsaps photo page:

According to all four schools' websites:
• Centre @ Millsaps (in Jackson MS), kickoff @ 1:00pm
• Trinity @ Huntingdon (in Montgomery AL), kickoff @ 1:00pm

TU2698, this is a no-brainer!  Hope the Tigers will not disappoint you and handle the Hawks this week ... the TU running game finally got on track this week ... I believe the O-Line has gelled now and the Tigers are on a roll.  The Hawks will be tough, especially in their house ... should be a good test.  Let us know what you think after you've seen them.

GO TIGERS!

On the d3football.com site, it says the Millsaps game is at 7:00.  Still, as Frank pointed out, it is a moot point for me because I have a 12/13 year old game to coach at 10:30 am.  Oh well, it made for some pretty good posts that clearly display the lack of excitement for this week.  Although, I really hope that the Tigers aren't flat this week.  The Hawks have clearly been saving their best performance for someone.  I won't be enjoying the victory until I see a final score.  In truth, I'm a little nervous.  I have to think Huntingdon is good enough to beat an uninspired Trinity team.  If the Hawks were having a better year, I might be more confident. 

Hopefully the score will show on the Superdome ticker at the Tulane/Rice game.

Thanks for the update, guys. The communication from some schools isn't exactly comprehensive. If all we get is a preliminary schedule and no updates, then shoot, what are we going to do?

[Josh Bowerman]

I'm hopeful that images from this past weekend's game between Trinity and Austin College will be up later this afternoon. 

For those that are interested, please keep checking the Photo Galleries link on the front page of the site.

Long week and I just got back to my computer.  Just wanted to let you know I had a ball doing the Austin College play by play.    Shout out to El Tea Gray for stopping by the booth after the game.

I was extremely proud of my Roos this weekend.  They played a great first half but couldn't match up with Trinity for the whole game.  During the first half they led on time of possesion by a 20 minutes to 10 minutes margin. That is the type of game that I think Coach Gage is striving for. This is the fourth time I have seen them this year and they continue to get better each time !!!  I think they definitely have a chance to chalk up a couple of SCAC wins. 

Go Roos !!  Go Cru !!

New week.  New TU opponent to root for.

Go Hawks. 

[Ron Boerger]

Well, except for the fact that a L here doesn't help DePauw.  In fact, it could actually (slightly) hurt your chances to get a playoff bid.

[DPU3619]

Seems like it doesn't matter what Trinity does, it hasn't helped DPU get a Pool C.

I just like rooting against you.  Can you blame me for that?

[Ron Boerger]

Whatever floats your boat ... tho I'd rather see both go 9-1 and both get bids.

I think that Montgomery is on "Eastern Daylight Time" and Jackson is on "Central Daylight Time". Someone please CORRECT me if I am wrong; this info now will only be necessary for radio or webcast purposes.  Comments?
