2010 Around the South columns

November 18, 2010 Dealing with devastation DePauw entered the playoffs on a losing note last season as well, but that wasn't 47-0 and it wasn't the Tigers' first loss of the season either. Robby Long's job is a little more difficult this week.

November 11, 2010 B-SC ready to compete The 2011 season will be the first in which Birmingham-Southern is eligible for the SCAC title and the NCAA playoffs. And the Panthers seem to be aiming at a 2011 run.

September 22, 2010 Making up for lost time The expectations were high, and so was their ranking. Except that for Hardin-Simmons, the calendar read 2009. This year they're making up for lost time.

September 15, 2010 Will McMurry's start translate? The teams McMurry has beaten are suspect when compared to the powers of the ASC. But with Hal Mumme in his second year at the reins, this week's game with UMHB should reveal the program's status.
