The professionalism that original Trinity broadcast team was what impressed me.  They stayed on message thru the entire play!

Believe me - as a student broadcaster myself, that did not go unnoticed on my end! I have to admit to some jealousy - that's the kind of play and the kind of moment you dream about being behind the mic for. The kid from Trinity handled it with aplomb.

I love the video. "If you hold the ball for more than 1 nanosecond, you owe me 80 push ups!" Spoken like a true coach.

I especially like the entire drawing of the play at the end. "ok next we're going to work on our trick plays. Now everybody take a lap!"

quality. good job on finding that one. I was actually curious to see if somebody would draw it up and follow each players movements throughout the entire play. That last drawing is about what i expected it to be.

Ralph, the guy who did the chalktalk video has already been contacted and asked to remove the profanity....  Also we asked him if he would 'allow' the real Coach Mohr to over-dub a version in his own voice... wouldn't that be memorable!

A scheduling change on the Millsaps Coach DuBose show--it will be tonight at 8 pm central time instead of the normal Thursday night show.  Here's a link to get to the page with the "Listen Live" link:

only a few more days... the suspense is terrible... I hope it'll last. 

[HunterT]

Kent,  I think that there are a lot of people hoping that your Austin over Trinity upset talk the past few weeks comes true. There is a lot of anticipation for the last week, as there always is.

My attention is focused on the Rhodes/Sewanee game in whole. This is the rivalry for both schools. There is no real liking for either team from the other, just a good hard fought hard hitting battle every year. This is a toss up game every year because of how either team could come out and play.

This could actually be the "Rivalry Week" for the SCAC. Monon Bell Game, Edmund-Orgill Cup. And I think there are some geographic rivalries that could take shape with the new teams in the conference. Austin/Trinity, as already talked about by Kent, and Millsaps/BSC. The latter maybe not the best of games or closes geographically, but I think this could shape up to be a good game for both teams in a few years. Maybe if the schedule stays the same, it could make the last week of each season a little more fun to look forward to, other than just seeing who is going to the playoffs.

+1 historymajor!  I would not want someone putting those words in my mouth.

I didn't know that Coach Mohr uses profanity either.

Forget the profanity, I didn't know he had little bit of a lisp.

[Tex]

I guess I'm the sinner in this bunch, cuz I've had a few GD's roll off my tongue from time to time over the years.  Not something I'm proud about, but it happens.  I also manage to drop a few F-bombs and other assorted mentally-weak expressions from time to time.  No excuse, but I certainly don't begrudge the comedy writer for dropping one. 

[historymajor]

Hey, don't get me wrong, I've never been in running for sainthood, but the specific player he tied the GD comment to (by name) is FCA leader on the team....  and it's just not appropriate...  I think he'll willingly address his faux-pax either with a bleep, or a re-dub.  At any rate, very little harm, no foul called,,,, just reversed after further review...

[Carl Menist]

Following is a post I included in the playoff section.  Wanted to share it with you.

Just my observations / opinions / hopes. Obviously I would like to see Millsaps get in , but it would be nice if the Majors can't go to see Miss College, at least one more team from the real south represented and give us three teams from the SCAC / ASC.

Seems like it could be possible?See what you think --- (no profanity used)

Quote from: Bill McCabe on Today at 11:34:00 am
As of today, who do you see as the 8 teams in the south?


Bill -

There is a good deal of disussion at the South Region fan poll section as well as the General / Pool C section. There are also similar regional posts in the East, North and West sections.

Based on these posts, many of which are very insightful and enlightening, it looks like the South could possibly have more than 8 teams with a reasonable shot at a bid.

The strongest regions are the North and South regions. There is some discussion that the East may only have 6 teams and the west maybe less than 8.

Based on the limited understanding I have, it seems that an advantage will accrue to the south because of Wesley and Salisbury being likely Pool B selections.

This coupled with the fact that NC Wesleyan in not ranked in the top 10, at least as of last week, provides an opportunity for the south to have up to 3 teams on the board for consideration for Pool C bids by the committee. If NC W moves into the top 10, 2 teams. The thing that is significant is that with Wesley and Salisbury likely getting Pool B invites, the 8, 9 and 10 teams have a chance for a look.

Based on the win loss records in region and the SOS numbers published this week, teams that could be included in the top 10 include the top 8 teams from last week followed by,( in order of regional record and SOS),  NC Wesleyian (7-1 / 7-2) SOS 49.7%, Millsaps (7-2 / 7-2) SOS 54.1%, Dickinson (7-2 /7-2) SOS 50.6, Hampton -Sydney (7-2 /7-2) SOS 49.3, Mississippi College (7-2 / 7-2) SOS 44.9 followed by other south region teams with 2 loses Washington and Lee, Depauw and Ursinus.

Important match-ups this week-end  include the Randolph -Macon / Hampton- Sydney game and the Trinity  / Austin College games for the remaining AQs. The first game is between 1 and 2 in the conference and is a championship game, Trinity is the favorite in the Austin game.

If RM or Trinity lose, they would be likely move to the short list for Pool C consideration.

One other interesting issue is the loss last week by Waynesburg to provisional Geneva. Technically, the committee looks at the in region results. for selection purposes. However, the loss last week to Geneva, a team with a pretty good record, could negatively effect Waynesburg when subjectiviy is brought into the equation. The Waynesburg numbers are (6-1 / 7-2) SOS 42.4%.

If you strictly took the South teams by record then by SOS, the list would be the same as last week, reshuffled in order just a bit with NC Wesleyian being added in at spot 8, Waynesburg moving down to 9, by virtue of it's 6-1 regional record, followed by Millsaps moving in at 10.

Based on the aforementioned strengths of the other regions, coupled with several head to head match-ups between other region's teams with one loss now just ahead of our south two loss  teams, gives Pool C eligible teams  making the final south rankings a reasonable shot a getting in in my opinion.

that would actually be pretty cool if the L tried to set it up as a rivalry week type deal.  I would LOVE for the Trinity game to always be our last in a TAMU/t.u. type of thing. 

I am really starting to get a little nervous.  I have talked such a big game for so long now...  I do plan on losing my voice though.  I haven't shaved for a month now hoping my beard will give the team special powers. 

Maybe I'll run into some of you Trinity folk at the half when I go to our cruddy concession stand to get a lukewarm hot dog.  Please excuse any drunkenness though I think I'll really only be trying to keep warm depending on the weather.  I tend to stay sober enough to know whats going on but I will give no guarantees about the people sitting in the endzone.  They have had some.... "colorful" things to say to opposing teams. 

I still haven't decided what noisemakers I will bring.  Right now I'm looking at a pot that got ruined when I forgot it on the stove but I really think some cowbells would be nice.  I could just get some drumsticks and attack our bleachers.... Who knows what I'll do but you'll know its me though from how loud I will be.

[Josh Bowerman]

Leave the bleachers alone, KenTAM.  I'll have to find somebody to pay for it!

[HunterT]

Kent, go for it. the louder the better. and if you're looking for more of a bass sounding drum, use the 5 or 10 gallon paint cans. If you can find some empty ones they make a good bass drum. Then Austin College would turn into the South American soccer fans. That would be impressive.

the louder and more energetic the better.

[DPU3619]

I just don't think there are enough 2 loss Pool C's getting in to let a 2 loss Millsaps, Trinity, or Miss Coll get in. 

You gotta think Capital is the leader in the clubhouse for a 2 loss Pool C.  I would think Whitworth is there as well, since one of their losses came to an NAIA team.  And they beat Linfield. 

Unfortunately, the SOS for either Millsaps (62), Trinity (112), or Miss Coll (168)  is way too low for them to have a chance at a Pool C.  I mean, I'm a big fan of both conferences, but who have any of those teams beat other than each other?

Pat's playoff projection in the Daily Dose agrees with that assessment, saying Capital and Whitworth are the only 2 loss Pool C teams to get in.
