many think the 1963 team was their best team ever, and i am partial to it
http://www2.sewaneetigers.com/hof.aspx?hof=73&path=&kiosk=

my cuzin, Dale Reich, was on that team, Dale played defensive back. He was my dad's first cuzin, but dad was more like an older brother due to Dale's home life. By birth i was the oldest of my Mom and Dads 3, but Dale was more like an older brother to me.

I remember the fall drives up the mountain in my early teens.
His loss in 1968 in Khanh Hoa Province of South Vietnam was one of the defining points of my life and that of my families.

Suwanee has a rich rich tradition, and holds a special place in the hearts of my family. I visited when i was a senior in highschool, and Coach Majors, knowing i was Dales 'little brother-cuzin' treated me like royality, but i opted to go elsewhere, as did my son many years later.

sorry, but i do like that place, even though i am an outsider looking in. keep the faith

Just noticed that Birmingham-Southern has their 2012 schedule posted and includes a trip to Wesley on October 6. Nice job BSC!

Both Trinity and BSC now playing potentially Top 5 teams in Non-Conference regular season play next year! Really impressed by both coaches taking the initiative to schedule some truly testing games. I'm assuming part of it is to increase their SOS for at-large bids, but nonetheless win's or close games by either teams will be exciting for everyone in the SCAC/SAA!

The article about Berry's AD update on adding football included a link to an earlier article about the plans for their stadium:

They'll have a pretty nice setup once they get everything done.

I see that Berea College is rumored to be exploring D-III.

Are they of the same mission and vision as the SAA schools?

Or would they go HCAC?
