Since you're too angry for details, I had to go to Rod Pedersen's blog for some info - which I'm not all that happy about. And I read this, which I imagine is the official press release:
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.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.
Turns out the SCAC is the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference - a DIII conference. Bad start.
The SCAC contains such powerhouses as:
Centre College Sewanee University of the South Hendrix College
And the college which replaces the Colorado School of Mines as my favorite U.S. institution of higher learning...
Oglethorpe University - GO STORMY PETRELS!!
I wonder if they offer correspondence courses? I'd love to have a degree from Oglethorpe.
One more fun fact about the SCAC, of its 12 teams, four(FOUR!) are named the Tigers - a whopping 33.3% (repeating of course).
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to shop for some Oglethorpe University merchandise.
