Millsaps reports to camp on Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 9 a.m.  We're going to try and follow camp a few days and have coach/player quotes and such.  The stories will be posted on our website at www.millsaps.edu/athletic/football.  Give it a read if you get the chance.  We'll start tomorrow!!

Major_Fan... does that mean that the Majors share facillities w/the Saints?  Or are they done and gone?

I think I can answer this question, the team broke camp on the 12th to return to New Orleans and practice with the Texans before their preseason game this weekend.  The rest of their practices will be in New Orleans or Metairie to be precise.  Major Fan will have to give you the scoop on how the Millsaps portion of camp went this year.

I can't give much of a report about how Saints practices went at Millsaps but I did take some photos.  Here are some links for anyone who is interested:

I'm still taking photos and I'm still trying to keep up with all of the D3 sports.  The problem is that I'm also still working a full-time job and the time involvement at Millsaps had reduced my life to work, Millsaps, and sleep with all of the other things in my life put on hold.  Somewhat like a runner in a marathon, I hit the wall sometime during the 2007-08 year and I just don't have the physical or mental energy needed to take on the project in 2008-09.  I'm hoping that a bunch of people will cover the various sports and the student-athletes at Millsaps will continue to get photos of their athletic achievements.  That's something that will be good for the students and good for Millsaps.

Tigers--
"It's time to Rock 'n' Roll!"
"It's a long way to the top if you want to Rock 'n' Roll!"
And all the other famous Rock 'n' Roll quotes, we know this team can do it.

Regarding Barmore, we know he will be missed, but Wilson has the better height (6'4") and the stronger arm to get this job done. I think back to his ability as a Soph. to take the team over when needed in Seguin. Let's go Tigers!

I don't think anybody has ever questioned Bryant's athletic talents.  He's probably the best all-around athlete that Trinity has had at QB that I can recall off the top of my head. 

But, the question, for me anyway, is between his ears.  How long is his adjustment period?  Can he step right in and be a good decision maker?  That's really something that Trinity hasn't had a problem with in past years.  I guess that's a credit to Coach Mohr more than anything else.

The good news is that he gets a bit of a freebie in the opener against McMurry (sorry Ralph) to sort it all out.
