Quote from TigerDad
"So ... that kind closes the door on the 2007 season ... probably best for everyone so we can move on to 2008.  Should be another great season!"

Yes, time to move on the game was 9 months ago.  They didn't even show the TU players in the crowd, what's up with that?

On a totally different topic, Frank Ezelle our faithful volunteer photographer who has contributed so, so much to our athletic department the previous 5 years, has decided to stick to his full-time job this season and not snap photos at our sporting events.  I'm sure all of you on this board know of his tremendous work ethic in getting photos up for our athletic department, and we can't thank him enough for his FREE work!  All of our publications use his photos, as well as parents, fans, D3football, ESPN, etc., so please let me take this time to say THANK YOU FRANK!  You've been a big 6th-man on our staff and it will be tough to find someone with your passion and attention to detail to replace your talents.

I know Millsaps will miss Frank ... as will fans of opposing teams who got to see his handywork whenever they played Millsaps.  Thanks, Frank, and maybe you'll be able to get back to it some year.

On another note, the SCAC website is going to be redesigned by PrestoSports (who have done a number of other D3 conference websites).  See the PrestoSports release for details.

I'm sitting here watching the espys rerun on the deuce.  First of all, Timberlake was pretty funny on some stuff.  That surprised me.  The Gundy interview and the TO interview spoofs were funny.

Eli Manning' line was killer "I'd like to thank my offensive line for not blocking anybody."   Funny stuff and one of the greatest superbowl games in a really long time. 

Best play...  that Giants play was pretty good.  The hockey goal was some incredible stickwork as well.  Tough competition.  What an honor to even be included in that list.

Thanks to Hector Ledesma and the KABB Maximum Sports staff for taking time to go to the airport and catch the guys as they returned from Los Angeles.

What a great insight into what it must have been like for these young men to go to ESPY-land and get a chance to meet some of the biggest sports stars of modern times.  How much fun must that have been?!?!  We can all be proud of how the players and coaches represented Trinity, the SCAC, and D3 Football!!

The temps in College Station bumped up over 100 yesterday and today.   Nothing says football is about to hit TX than a nice 100+ degree scorcher.

Any favorites yet to take over as lead back from Marks?

Wanted to get back with you on this.  Heard an unconfirmed rumor that one of the new freshman coming in to camp was Indiana's leading rusher in Class 5A from a season ago.  A kid by the name of Creighton Harrington from Decatur Central.  2242 yards and 18 TD's for the Hawks.  Second leading rusher in the state behind a kid from St. Joe's in South Bend, who, you may or may not recall, went all the way to the dome and lost the 3A championship to Chatard.

From a quick and dirty google search, I saw that all the local D-1 schools gave him a look (Ball State, IU, Purdue, Illinois) but I don't think he was ever offered a scholarship.  Scout.com lists him at 6'1 and a touch over 200 pounds.   Couple other folks called him a "a downhill, in between the tackles type runner."  Sounds kinds familiar.  Like somebody I used to know.  Having trouble picturing him.  This guy, maybe?



Yep.  That's the one I was thinking of.

Yes, Wes, he is coming to DePauw for sure...I've never seen him play but have heard some really good things about him...hopefuly he can be a contributor...

Harrington is an excellent recruit, but let's hold off on the coronation as the next Marks until he actually steps on the field and contributes. 

Any chance of an updated roster on the DePauw website anytime soon?

Usually see a roster once camp gets going.

And I didn't crown him anything.  The similarity in the running styles of the two is allegedly quite striking.  It's also supposed to be, you know, a joke. 

Must not have been as funny as I thought.

Wes I bet this kid had a helluva O-line.  Those are nice numbers.

Was I the only one who read between the lines and thought Trinity is posturing lacrosse as a soon-to-be varsity sport?
