You said DePauw had there running back situation solved.  How ?  Any insights on their recruiting ?

Did Blake Barmore get any PT in the Texas Vs. Nation All Star Game? Saw he was selected...and was just watching a little bit of the replay on CSTV. In any event he's a talented kid who had a really good career. As a DPU fan, glad he's gone...but wish him the best in the future...

FANTASTIC....

How long to you think it will take the 'chowds to start coming up with excuses.  TONIGHT, the better team won...the G-Men were tougher and made plays when they needed them.

No comment.

Did anyone see if Trinity's Blake Barmore got any action in the Texa vs. The Nation All Star game this weekend?

It appears that he did not.

You can peruse the box if you like, but his name does not appear.

Thanks, Wes...I watched that game for a bit yesterday on CSTV. The Texas rosetr must be made up of college kids from TX and those who grew up there, too...think I saw a QB from Colorado State on the Texas team...anyway, it sounds like the game got some financial backing and is going to be back for a few years.

What's up with Barmore not playing in the Texas vs. The Nation game?  Anyone know if he was injured or something?  How are you going to have such a lopsided victory and not play every player on your bench in an All-Star game?  If he was able-bodied and still didn't get on to the field, that's pretty bush league to not play him.  Any insight?

[DPU3619]

I'm suprised the best QB on either roster wasn't the starter.  The Nation's Blake Mitchell from South Carolina barely played and Texas's Matt Flynn from LSU didn't play at all. 

I mean, what's the point of having such a game with big names like that on the roster if they aren't going to play?

Basically you have an all-star game post season.  In most of these type events, the idea is to showcase talent and have a good time that week.  To be invited was actually quite an honor.  To have had playing time, would have been deserved icing on the cake.  To be up by 30 points and not be rotating in everyone is a real crime. 

Two things to consider would be a possible injury or the coaching staff ego.  I can't address either.

Barmore pulled a hammy the week before he was to report to training camp and was unable to perform.  Instead of hogging a spot, he called the organizers and they were able to substitute another player.  Classy move by Blake.

Hope he will get a shot at a tryout at the next level ... he's big enough, smart enough and (I think) good enough to play pro ball if given the chance.

Sorry to hear that. I've enjoyed watching him play---even for all of the pain he has inflicted upon the Indiana Tigers.

Hey Wes,  You intimate that DPU has "solved" its running back problem. What happened, did the fullback finally stop seeing double and throwing up after Pynenberg's hit at the Bell?
