Is it true the NCAA is looking into creating  a division 4 has anyone heard any talk of this?

Great game for LU. Did the CC QB get hurt? Reading the game stats it looked liked they had a new Qb second half.

Fightintitan,
I agree with your last post .The MWC is in a catch 22.In order to get respect we have to win playoff game but we always have to play the top teams so our playoff record looks bad.
You seem to be very knowledgeable about  D-3 football.Did you play?

SNCDAD,
I don't know who your getting your info from but no team from the MWC will ever be ranked in the top 10 of D-3 you would be lucky to break into the top 25.
No matter what your record is the winner of this conference will play one of the top teams in the nation.
Anyway,congratulation to Norbert and good luck against whoever you play.

Hey SNCDAD,
I was just wondering how often does your son play?If he is not playing this year do you think he has a good chance of playing next year?


This weeks picks:
IC over GC by 14  Ic has too many weapons for Gc to stop.
LC over BC by 10  What LC team is going to show up??
CC over KC by 28  Carroll takes out their frustration on KC
LFC over MC by 3  Lfc playing better Mc playoff hopes ended last week.
SNC over RC  by 1    I would like to pick RC but this is Norberts.Until they get beat they are the reining MWC champs.

Sorry I did not mean to bum anyone out, or anything like that.  From what I have heard no one is in any serious danger and they are all being treated for the infection.

Does this have any effect on this weekends game?Can the kids with staph still play? 

Hey 312,
How many teams have you seen?If you are basing your picks on guys that make the all conference team you better get out and see some games.That all conference team is a popularity contest among the coaches.It is not a true barometer of talent.
Its easy to say one O-line is better than the other based on how good the O is for that team but there are some very talented kids playing for bad or so-so teams.If you haven't seen them play it's hard to say how good they really are.I have seen alot of very good players on some very bad teams and some good players that look a lot better because of the guys and team they play for.You might be the best wide out in the league but if you play for Knox or Ripon you may only get the ball 3-4 times a game.If you play for IC or LFC they might throw your way 10 times.My point is the most talented guys might not have the best stats in the league.I've been watching MWC games for 5 years now and some of the best players I've seen did not make that all conference team.

Great to see some chatter on this site.Everyone with one loss or less is still alive in the
conference race.Everyone else is already playing for pride or at least a chance to knock someone  out of the race.I picked IC last week against Ripoon and boy was I wrong.I liked the hawks before the season but thought their D was a little suspect after the Lfc game.It looks like they have solved some problems on d with their showing at IC.I have not seen Carroll or Monmouth but it looks like both need some work on the O side of the ball.They will have to prove me wrong before I can count them as contenders.It's still early so some great game are still to be played. 

The way I see it Lake forest will have to outscore Norbert to win this game.If you want to pick them i think something like 31-28 would be a safer bet.I haven't heard much about Norbert yet this year but the Forest is in need of some CB's.
I think IC at home will take care of Ripon.The IC QB is the real deal.I have to look at the other games before i give my two cents.

As we start the conference games this weekend who do you think are the strongest candidates for O and D MVP's?

Maverick,
I have to agree with your picks.The only game that might be close is Ripon vs Lake Forest. Although if any of your picks loses it will be an upset.

With this new rule where do they spot the ball if it is kicked out of bounds?

Hawk,
Who got injured in the game?How healthy will they be against LFC this week?I spoke to a player from LFC and he said they lost a linebacker but are pretty healthy otherwise.
How did any of the other conference teams fair health wise?

You forgot Beloit.
I still think Knox will win and I think LFC will get the victory.
Good luck to all MWC teams.Stay healthy and play hard.

I might have underestimated the team Grinnell is playing.I think they beat Grinnell last year and will probly do the same this year.
