two weeks notice

Brace yourselves, seamheads. The college season starts in Mississippi two weeks from today. Tougaloo will actually launch the season on Feb. 3, when the Bulldogs play in the Edward Waters tournament in Jacksonville, Fla. On home soil, however, the season begins on Feb. 4, with Belhaven (Blue Mountain, 3 p.m., Smith-Wills Stadium), Millsaps (Berry, 2:30, Twenty Field) and William Carey (Trevecca Nazarene, 4, Wheeler Field) all scheduled to start their 2011 campaigns. Blue Mountain is playing its inaugural season and will jump directly into the fire against a Blazers team that is ranked No. 12 in the NAIA preseason poll.
