Wartburg on 2002 was nasty. And by nasty, I mean faster, stronger, more disciplined than any MWC team we played in '02. And after thrashing us by six TDs, they went to Oregon and got their tails handed to 'em by Linfield.

Pawlik's right.

We as a conference are ranked #21 for a reason - we're not as good as most of the others.

That said, however, after starting against Monmouth and St. Norbert in '04 I will say that Monmouth's front seven (six of which are returners) was the best in the conference. The numbers might not support that, but as a team LFC couldn't do a thing to them last year and the same was true this year. Combine that with a monster year from Tanney, and the Scots could have success.

Just don't get ahead of yourselves, and make sure you're thinking in terms of playoff success. LFC was killed by focusing too much energy on the Norbert game - when that was over, it felt like our season was too.

Sorry Papa, it's tough to show your face when you lose to Ripon right after you argue about how you're going to win that game...and then the Scots come in and roll over your offense like it isn't there.

/not much to say; we're playing for third.

I'm sure they'll put up 250-300 rush yards again and yeah, it'll be a close game.

This has to be good for everyone and help the eventual con. champ have a better showing in the playoffs.Any thoughts?

It's good to see that SNC is mortal after all, but it doesn't really change anything for anyone. This conference has been a single-elimination tournament since '98 thanks to the Green Knights' dominance, and until somebody beats Monmouth it'll still be such.

As far as the playoffs go, not really sure if they'll be better prepared. When it gets to a point where SNC, LFC, Ripon, Carroll, IC, Monmouth all are beating up on e/o and the conf. champ is 7-2, then I think that'll be true, but Monmouth beating SNC is trading apples for oranges at this point.

CBS I guess we'll just wait and see tomorrow, huh...explain how three LFC wins changes the odds towards Ripon by a TD???

Yeah 275 pass yards for Faulds that's not bad...oh wait that's for the season.

The Forester D-line is young but the LB corps is the best it's been since Urlacher and Pickering, should be interesting...

I'm sure they'll put up 250-300 rush yards again and yeah, it'll be a close game.

my first post, but I've read the board since '02...

So what's it gonna take for LFC to get respect from everybody? Granted LFC isn't a favorite for the championship until they beat Monmouth or Norbert, but how about 27-6 record since '02, losing only to Monmouth x2, St Norbert x2, Carroll (who played good teams tough in '03) and OK a crappy game to Knox? That mean anything to anyone?

CBS - even odds? How about 3-0 in last three years against Ripon.

#2 is only threat? Huebner's all the Foresters needed thus far, maybe if somebody actually defends the guy then Mahaney will look elsewhere. Plus RBs Washington, Furlong both averaging 5 yds/carry - just don't need to run when you can pass all over everybody.

Rankinen, hell of a game, over 200 yards, you deserve to be on nat'l team.
