And I read this, which I imagine is the official press release:<br /><br /><I>Joseph signed with the Eskimos earlier this year after an outstanding collegiate career at Millsaps College. The 21-year old had an outstanding senior year averaging more than 24 completions per game while completing 67% of his passes with 32 touchdowns. He threw only six interceptions in 445 attempts. Joseph was a three-time SCAC Offensive Player of the Year and nine-time SCAC Offensive Player of the Week.</I>Now, I consider myself fairly knowledgable when it comes to the world of football - even college football - and I had never heard of Milsaps College or the SCAC. Thank goodness for Google.<br /><br />Turns out the SCAC is the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference - a DIII conference. Bad start.<br /><br />The SCAC contains such powerhouses as:<br /><br />Centre College<br />Sewanee University of the South<br />Hendrix College<br /><br />And the college which replaces the Colorado School of Mines as my favorite U.S. institution of higher learning...<br /><br />Oglethorpe University - GO STORMY PETRELS!!<br /><br />I wonder if they offer correspondence courses? I'd love to have a degree from Oglethorpe.<br /><br />One more fun fact about the SCAC, of its 12 teams, four(FOUR!) are named the Tigers - a whopping 33.3% (repeating of course).<br /><br />Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to shop for some Oglethorpe University merchandise.Napoleon in Ragshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01123559650973293179noreply@blogger.com
