Sunday...talk about how St. Norbert did not get in
Monday...talk about St. Norbert not getting in.
Monday Night...stop talking about the Knights and start focusing on the Scots.  If you want to talk about the Knights, start talking about next year.

On another note, posters keep saying that the reason we did not get two teams is because the MWC did not show up in the playoffs.  Monmouth last year whipped an easy Aurora team and then lost on a last second play to a Wartburg team that was perhaps 1 play away from beating UWW.  I feel that Monmouth represented us well last year and will continue that trend this year.  Coach Bell is doing something great at the Scotsdome along with all the rest of the coaches.   The players from last year have experience along with a veteran QB and Line.  I look for them to give us a better showing than last year, which was the best that the MWC has done in the playoffs.

nice to see a home game for the Scots. Can we get some info on their opponent?  Saw they put up 63 this past week.  Should be a good matchup!  Any thoughts on them or what they run?

Nice win for the scotties this past weekend.  Next up a big game vs. St. Norberts.   I am curious to see how many of the predicters pick against the Scots even though they beat Grinnel 59-0 and Norbert beat them 14-11.

Should be a good one come Saturday at beautifil Bobby Woll Memorial Field.

On a side note, I hope that Brett Favre has a bad day! 

25-7 Monmouth at Halftime!!  Stadium looks great.

Very Calm Board.  What does this mean?

1) The MWC fans are still hoping the cubs can come back.

2) All Packer fans are staying away from the internet until Brett Favre officially retires

or 3) MWC fans are yet to come out of hibernation and watch Monmouth win another MWC Championship.

Perhaps all three

LOOK OUT HERE COMES TOMMY TUCKER

The Aurora fans gave us this website.  When I did it, it predicted Monmouth to win 25 out of the 25 games.  I know, I know...thats why we play the game.

But it makes me feel good about this weekend.

I am predicting 34-21.  That extra point team lets one get blocked.  Sorry Coach.  I know 6 must be 7.

What do you guys think?

Congrads to Wartburg on beating UWSP.  Those that are looking for live streaming of the game need to check out the Monmouth website www.monm.edu.  You will have to listen to the Monmouth play by play announcers but they do a nice job of not being biased.  Last week it was free, not sure yet about this weekend.

What was the score of the Wartburg-Loras game?  Any information about Wartburg? Type of offense, defense, studs, etc. 
Just trying to be informed about the game on Saturday.

Good Luck to my Scotties!

Quiet board today after Monmouth's victory yesterday.  All of you must be watching figure skating because the Bears game is already a blow out!

Congrads to the Scots on their first playoff win yesterday.  I thought Aurora did a great job of stopping the run early on, however Tanney did a nice job of managing the game.  The short patterns really beat up the Aurora secondary.  Kudos to the Aurora crowd.  I thought that the crowd was loud and cheering for their team through out the entire game.

I did think that the Monmouth crowd was quiet and really not into the game.  I was disappointed with the lack of cheering from the Monmouth side as well as the number of people at the game.  This is a special time for Monmouth football and I believe that their needs to be more support from the fans and alumni.  I hope that the crowd is bigger for next weeks matchup versus a tough Wartburg team.  

I haven't done any research on Wartburg but beating a WIAC team is usually no small task.  Any information on the team would be nice.

Go Scots!  Keep ROLLIN!

First off, it is not Mt. Monmouth.  It is just Monmouth.  I would assume that all of you would know that since they have been dominating the MWC as they should have.

Second, I am excited about the draw that Monmouth recieved. A home game against Aurora University.  They are the 8 seed and Aurora has not played very good opponents.
They have one common opponent in Lake Forest.  Monmouth won 56-2 and Aurora beat them 35-twenty something.

I predict a nice win for the Scotties this weekend. 
I will be attending the first win for the MWC in the playoffs.  Go Scotties! Make a statement to the d3 world that the Scotties are for real. 

I was at the LF-MC game this past weekend.  Monmouth didn't play well but beat up on the Forestors pretty bad.  2 observations

1. The Lake Forest cheering section was horrible, i understand that it was fall break, but I swear their were more dogs there than forestor fans

2. #7 for the Forestors is a man among boys.  Might be the best wide reciever I have seen the MWC in 9 years. 

Go MC!  Beat the Blue Boys this weekend. 

I am a former MWC player and fan of the MWC.   Bu when it comes to the talent  level at the schools in MWC and the schools in the WIAC they can't be compared.  WIAC schools would not schedule the MWC schools for the fact that they want to play tougher competition.  Mind you, the MWC is getting stronger as a conference as a whole, but they are a little bit back.

Now not to sat that a MWC school can't beat a WIAC school, i.e. St. Norberts vs Lacrosse a few years ago.  However the odds are not in our favor.    I think that all MWC schools would like to play tougher non-conference games, but many of them won't schedule with us until we prove that they are a quality program. via WArtburg, Monmouth, Nubs, Oshkosh.

Just wanted to say that all that talk about Larry and than they do not show up.  Haven't seen anyone say anything about the game. 
Apparently it is a two man race again this year between the Scots and Knights.  Scots made a statement after their loss the first game.  KEEP ON ROLLIN!

Good Luck at Beliot.  Buck the Bucs!

Agree with that statement!!

Congrads again Rooster on the wedding.  Hope it was fun becoming a man.

I am sorry about the response being so late.  I do have other things on my agenda.
Good post fightin titan
Good point on Purlee and Tanney starting off bad against St. Norberts.  They did struggle against better competition.  However, Tanny may have started out as All-American caliber but Purlee was not a highly sout after recruit coming out of Mt. Carroll.  He had to work his way to the player he was, and yes Coach Bell should get all the credit for that.  Hopefully, the next QB will not struggle against better comp. (We will find out against Wartburg) 

I did not see the Norberts game this past season, so I can't comment on how good Norberts was, but Monmouth has a pretty dang good team when I watched them.

As far as the USC-Texas statement, I am not stating that Monmouth will win the national championship, but a team doesn't go from 1st to last in a years time.  USC and Texas will be in the top 10, so yes when you get the train rolling you tend to be on top, especially if you have a handful of the same players and a great coach. 

If you lose your top offensive and defensive player that does not mean that your team slumps.  Monmouth reloads.  Zigler was a hell of a player but it is the other players around you that make you a great player.  The rest of the D i am sure will be in peak form.  As for Tanny he was a great QB, but in Coach Bell's tenure thus far he has had two quarterbacks, Rob Purlee and tanny and both broke school records, I am sure that the quarterbacks he has will step in and produce just fine.  They dont need an all american QB, they have a solid team coming back.

As for your sorry A**.  If the program is good than so are the players.  You must know nothing about athletics in general.  The top team are always at the top, they keep getting better and better.  Norberts was there for a while, but with dumbs**ts like you talking about them, they apparently are on the decline.  Have a great summer, wetting your self over how good Monmouth is going to be.  Rooster
Congrads on the wedding next week.  Sorry I cant be there in FL, but i give you my best.
