All I hear is the ticking of a clock...   


Sorry to all, I couldn't help it. 

You're a bad man, Tex...a bad man...

Hello Gentlemen. Thanks for allowing me on "D3Boards". I have been reading along for a time now and felt like chiming in for a moment. As I have never participated in a "Board" before my participation may be brief. Depends on whether or not it seems I am bringing anything to the conversations.

I have enjoyed learning more about D3 football in general and the SCAC in particular through your posts. For example the recent insights to the attendance reporting process, or the rules portion of the discussion reagrding game clock operation {recent game passions aside}.

I have a Kangaroo bias but from what I have seen a bias is allowed here from time to time. I follow the Roos as a fan - not an expert - and may sometimes have an observation from the weeks game or the season in general. ...May I ?...

[Major Rev]

Yes, you may ...

[frank_ezelle]

If being an expert was a requirement to post on the board, then I wouldn't have much company. (Or did I get that backwards?)

Welcome to the board and about the only thing that most people expect here is that a person be somewhat civil.  Sometimes those Trinity folks make that very, very hard, but it can be done.  (Okay, I hope everyone realizes that was a  )

I hope you can get by the Austin game this week and give us a report--it seems like the most exciting conference game this week.

[millsaps mom]

this is in response to the question about the "Coaches Show" from Millsaps, from what the board says there, the next show is next Thursday Oct. 30th. 

[rooski]

Yes, you may ...

Thank you Major Rev.

Some may not realize what a key game the Roos have against Rhodes this weekend. Clearly in the SCAC there is a top tier - and A/C {in Sherman} is not in it. [Did you know that one of our players is named "Austin Sherman"] But the competition in the second tier may be deeper than that at the top. IMHO the Kangaroos find themselves at the same crossroads they were in at this point last season. Four wins, three losses and an opportunity to make it to the .500 level for the first time in awhile. Last season in Memphis Rhodes scored twice late in the fourth to take the lead then thwarted a frantic comeback attempt by the Roos in the final minute. Most of you know how the season ended.

Those who have seen the last three games have seen AC "finish" games. Now we find ourselves wanting to believe the team will take a step forward, maybe even turn a corner this weekend against a formidable Rhodes team and solidfy a place in the second tier of the conference. If they win it will mean they will avoid any three game losing streak this year {there were two last year}, build on the consistence of the past 2 1/2 games and then who knows about the final two games of the season.

Obviously everyone wants their team to be the champ but for this season perhaps being the "most improved" in the conference would be an appreciable accomplishment. A win this weekend would be a nice step in that direction for coach Gage and the Kangaroos.        - Good luck guys!

My wife would agree with you in my case.

Boy I am glad to see all the new posters "with a Roo bias"!!  I felt like the Lone Stranger on these boards for quite a while.    Might I suggest that we might try to put some names and faces together this weekend.

I propose that there be a small gathering of us prior to the Homecoming game this weekend.  Maybe about fifteen minutes prior to the game on the "track?"  at the scoreboard end of the stadium?  If anyone is interested in this offer please reply!

I will be there with a roocru of my own!(my wife and four children in tow)

I just wanted to wish everyone in the SCAC "good luck with your games this week", because this is one of the only weekends out of the year I can do that during interconference play!   That may be the beauty of a buy week.  I also wish everyone safety in their travels from place to place.  Once again good luck this weekend.  But next weekend GO MAJORS!

[frank_ezelle]

.....That may be the beauty of a buy week......

Judging by this morning's stock market opening, it looks like this is going to end up as a sell, sell, sell week!!!  (But with the way the market has been going lately, it might be up 4% by the end of the day.)

My 401-(k) and millions others would appreciate it.

Hey for those who didn't check out the Triple Take, Keith McMillian, besides picking Trinity as the likeliest Top 25 team to lose this week  , said he was going to make the long journey to SA to see the Millsaps-TU tilt.

That's OK, Keith, even if it happens the winner will still have the inside track to the SCAC AQ. 

[frank_ezelle]

Was it Keith who said a couple of weeks ago that DePauw might struggle with BSC either because DePauw had a Millsaps hangover or they might be looking forward to Trinity.  I thought he was flat out wrong on that one and then DePauw managed to fall behind after losing 4 turnovers in the first half. 

While that might tell me not to doubt the wisdom of Keith, I just don't see Trinity having a problem in this game.  And while a loss this week would still leave Trinity controlling their own destiny regarding the AQ, I have to believe that they are like Millsaps and they are really gunning for an undefeated regular season and a high South Region ranking.

[Ron Boerger]

To be fair, Keith said the only reason he picked Trinity was because he'd bought the ticket, ditching another game he'd like to have attended that weekend.

I am another with a litle "Roo Bias".  I enjoy watching the games.  Good luck this week!
