Appears MILLSAPS has been busy doing some sweeping........

[golden_dome]

Didn't realize Millsaps had so many seniors. Of of their 13 position players who earned 1st or 2nd Team All-SCAC honors, 10 of them are seniors. Three of their five honorable mention selections are also seniors. That is a great class of players, and a lot to replace next season.

Conversely, of the 12 DePauw players on the first or second teams, 8 are back next season; 3 of 5 HM selections are coming back as well. Lots of talent returning to Greencastle.

Millsaps wil have alot to replace but I have no doubt that Coach Dubose will have some players tough and talented players who will step up. Until somebody knocks them off, they are the champs...for a reason.

I don't know if many people will check the board to catch this in time, but the Millsaps Football Coach's show will be tonight instead of on Thursday.  It's the usual schedule with last week's show being repeated at 6 Central time and this week's show starting at 7.  It has really been a good feature this season and I just wish more Millsaps fans knew about the program.  Here's the link:

Happy Thanksgiving Everyonel!

I have been reading the Board for over a year now and am now taking a leap into participating!

Thanks to all the contributors who have helped increase my knowledge about D3 ball. 

The 'sweeping' comment for Millsaps was pretty clever!!

First time poster, long time reader. 

Not a whole lot of talk about the game this week.  I guess that's not surprising with two teams who know nothing about the other.  A quick glance of the stats tells me that W&J will be a big test for the Millsaps defense.  They have a QB who has actually put up bigger numbers than Joseph, a running back who has rushed for over 1,000 yards, a big receiver who has 1,000 yards and 16 touchdowns, and another receiver with 900 yards.  The team stats on offense are pretty similar to Millsaps' with the latter preferring to have several backs and receivers shoulder the load.

Any lurking W&J people care to give a little info?

Here's a press release off the front page that gives a good run down of W&J...

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Impeach the Presidents!

It's raining in Jackson this morning and it looks like it will be lousy all day with rain into the night.  Tomorrow should be better with the chance of rain down to just 40% and a predicted high of 61.  If we do get rain tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how the high powered passing game of each team deals with the situation.  The field is artificial turf so field conditions shouldn't be too much of a problem.

For anyone in town who is looking for something to do, the Millsaps men's basketball team has a game this evening at 7:00 against Wesley College.  The admission price is the always affordable "Free Admission" and there will be plenty of prime seating since most of the students have gone home for the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I hope some of those students will be returning for tomorrow's playoff game.

Or go to Vicksburg and visit the USS Cairo and the Vicksburg battlefield!

I heard that the Millsaps football team will be eating dinner at the Cabot lodge tonight.

Here's an AP story on Coach DuBose that I saw in today's SA paper. 

I would link an excerpt here except for the fact that the AP doesn't believe in fair use, demanding payment if more than five words are used.
