November 15, 2007, 10:05:58 PMThe Knights WIth Another Chance
or How I Kill Time Until Saturday, very loosely based on Casey at the Bat
Driving west, as eve on that September night broke,
wondering were these WIACer's only blowing smoke?
Forgot his foot, our punter did.
The O and D just ran and hid.
"96 block a kick!", "Josh pancake someone flat!"
Unfortunate for SNC, there was none of that.
The cannon roared, what an abhorrental gun!
And when the dust finally cleared, the Knights were O and one.
At season's end to LaCrosse we went.
To prove themselves, our boys hell-bent
Three quarters plus they, the Knights did not stumble.
In the stands, "Or-e-gon or bust." the fans began to mumble.
Then, he unnamed, drew that flag, no sense.
Our side, as one, painfully, began to tense.
Even as the O went lame, no one thought to boo.
At cold day's end, the Knights record, a sullen O and two.
September next, a home game relief.
A Knight's win in DePere was my true belief
At Minnihan the fight song, games end, is always sung.
There the booming victory bell is ever loudly rung.
A brand new year, a brand new game.
The stats were different, results the same.
The bell was silent, no song sung with glee.
The Knights still at O, the WIAC holding three.
This season's end, the season's start forgot.
Hope springs anew for the DePere lot.
In them the Beaver held no respect.
He did not play, they still were wrecked.
Out-everythinged, but not outclassed,
our Knights played hard to the last.
That insidious cannon rang out six? seven? eight times more.
Almost unbear-able now, the Knights at O and four.
The outlook isn't brilliant for the SN Knights this day.
Their WIAC record is none and four with the Blugolds on their way.
I think if only Casey could get a chance to run.
But alas, good Meehan's starlit career, already two years done.
Pinto, Koonce and Rentmeester, stalwart defenders of the past,
who today will stand up in their place and hold the line stedfast?
Hartman's drive and TJ's speed, sights no longer seen.
A new group now carr-ies the flag of the gold and green.
Who holds the "chubby girl" parties since the VMC Four left the dorm?
Which unkown soldiers drown their sorrows in this same pathetic form?
The boys from Burke seemed to always, carelessly enjoy their fun.
Saturday was game face time, shown in all the games they won.
It's third and goal, east endzone, who's firming up the wall?
It's fourth and one, game on the line, who's carrying the ball?
The time is now, now is your time to write another chapter to the story.
Achieve the feat and the Knights of old will celebrate your glory!
Cody, Judd and Jay the leaders, by themselves this can't be done!
A singular force and nothing less will get this battle won!
Strike hard and fast, relentless, hang a hundo half or worse!
Give it your all, fight to the end, then let this be your next verse...
Oh somewhere in this land of cheese, the Old Style's smelling sweet.
The polkas play, the deer fall fast, smiles on everyone you meet.
The air is crisp, the sky is bright, children laugh and shout.
But there is no joy in Eau Claire...
THE GREEN KNIGHTS HAVE WON OUT!

WOW! Not the way I or anybody imagined SNC getting a home game. Good luck Knights next Saturday. I'll be there.

Congrats Knights on finishing up undefeated!
I think a Wartburg victory over Central or even a Bethel win over SJU could result in an SNC home game in the playoffs. They should also hope that 1 or 3 team(s) make it in from the SCIAC/NWC with the odd team flying east to play one of the top 4 in the region.

The last time SNC lost to Illinois Colllege was in 2001. Since then SNC has pretty much blown them out every year.

They should move up if Central loses to Wartburg. They might even pass St Johns if they lose to Bethel. Also Redlands and Whitworth(2 far west teams) are close to getting in if Bethel and/or Wartburg loses. I think CLU has a chance of making it in also. Again, I'm no Nostradamus.

By the way, SNC's home playoff record is 1-0.

It looks like SNC has a good chance at a home playoff game. With Bethel having to play St Johns and Wartburg still having to play Central it looks like if SNC wins this weekend they should stay in the top 4. Of course, they could get moved... and I'm usually wrong.

I actually thought that's what it was but I've never seen (won't ever see?) it up close. 
My joke wouldn't have worked the other way.
I know Pat, it's on the front page.
Give me some time and I'll figure out what the 11 player comment meant...
Still haven't figured it out but I'll post this anyway.

You should go back to the DuffMan picture. I liked it more and that MIAC championship trophy is almost as worthless as one from the MWC or IBC.

Of course, the SJU faithful will know that same feeling in a few weeks.Quote from: The Roop on October 27, 2007, 10:24:25 PM
Here's an idea............... How about if St. Norbert goes to Mt. Union in the first round........
Might as well get the first round loss over with in a big way

I'm sure they'll end up playing St John's or UWW in the first round even though it's still way to early to predict.
Congrats to Judd O'Connell for making the front page. I didn't even realize it was him until ths morning. I saw him play this weekend. He catches everything thrown his way.

Green Knights,
November 18, 2006 is a day that will live in infamy for the WIAC and whatever the Japanese were feeling on December 8th for the MWC. General Purtill will march you, his Green Knight soldiers to meet King Brez and his redshirt hessians. The river you cross is not the Potomac. It is the Wisconsin, none the less important. The fight is not for freedom, democracy nor even unreasonable taxation. Your cause is much more significant, the Stagg. Washington threw a silver dollar. Purtill, in comparison, will heave a manhole cover. Outgunned, overmatched and outvoted, follow the path of David, Sitting Bull, Rudy and Luke Skywalker. Ask yourselves, how high would Benedict Massey have ranked them? Wisconsin is your Texas. You will not lose America's Dairyland to Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna De Berezowitz. Young Knights of Purtill's table I implore you to forget the losers at the Alamo. Your battle cry, to be resounded through the ages by the likes of Cortland et al:
REMEMBER THE KNIGHTS!
REMEMBER THE KNIGHTS!
POLLSTERS BE DAMNED!
REMEMBER THE KNIGHTS!

At RB: #47 Alec Getschow is a good, dependable back who alternated with #22 AJ Phillips until AJ was injured. Unrelated to to football, I heard Alec doesn't work well in group projects. 
#44 Josh O'Conner is also a pretty good, versatile back. He's the blocking back in passing situations and the usual target on screens. He's like a fire hydrant with legs.
