Heyes guys I'm a Scot living in Cedar Rapids. If anyone is making the trip and has questions about the area let me know. (My roomate is a former kohawk too so I know my way around)

How about a tailgate area?  Didn't get much from the IIAC board - is there a designated spot?

Hope to see many former Kohawks at the game this weekend!!! Plenty of people live in town and the surrounding area. Let's get a great turnout by alumni and pack K. Ray field!

Is there a designated tailgate area around the stadium?  I didn't see much on the Coe site..

How's the tailgating at Schneider?  Any tips for the visitors??

I will give you that one, dangler. I have to wonder, though, if Macalester's first season in MWC says more about the MWC than it does about Macalester.

I think it was a combination of a strong year for Macalester and a bit of a down year for the Midwest Conference.

I was going to say the same thing but Pat beat me to it. In the last three weeks of the year Macalester beat Carroll at home, then went into St. Norbert and won, and then went on the road to Illinois College and won the title. If you would have told me that was possible even five years ago, like Clark Griswold, I wouldn't have been any more surprised had I awoken to find my head sewn to the carpet.

That's MY line Dangler!!! 

So, if I'm following all of this correctly and GC uses games like Faith Baptist to boost shooting percentages and confidence, then after Taylor's most recent 3-13 three-point effort against WP, we should expect him to put up another 100 shots soon?? #ArmsAreTooTired

Off topic here, what was the reasoning for the conference to get rid of the Friday/Saturday  game schedule?

I would assume when Cornell was added into the schedule that it was going to screw up the road trip rotation of southern teams to northern and vice versa.  Now all teams take the long trips for Saturday games, and have the "local" games on Wednesday night.  LU doesn't play a team further away then Carroll on a "school night" this season.  Has to assume with the added southern team the MWC insisted on limiting missed class time, hense necessitating the schedule change.

I don't know the exact reason, either, but it sure does put some extra miles on the college vehicles for MC to have to make separate trips to Ripon, Carroll and St. Norbert.  Maybe the MWC put extra cash in each team's travel budget??

Dan Patrick going off on the Grinnell coach

Good for him..

Radio guy doing the MC game said the initial flag with 9 seconds left was a false start - was that the actual call, or was it something else?  If a false start is called, shouldn't the play be dead?  Why did the play continue? 

Maverick re: Foster...a few days late, but thought I'd let you know that Foster is no longer with the Scots.  I really don't know any details, but heard it started at the LF game...are there ANY LF posters out there who can lend a hand??

Congratulations to Coach Skrivseth - his first MC victory, a 70-68 win over IC in double OT.

Well, Roop...whaddya got for Friday's MC v. Beloit game?  Any notes of interest from the Beloit camp?  Obviously it's early, but the initial stats for both teams aren't painting a pretty picture for the game.  For BC, is that because of their early season schedule? 

I'll have a seat at mid-court, so I'll be sure to submit a post-game summary.

Sorry wnc52 - if you talk with many MC fans, I think you would find that the MC-St. Norbert games have become more rivalry-like than any other (at least in the last 5-6 years).  As 77 said, IC isn't a big rivalry game for us yet, and the Knox games haven't been close for a decade.

Very nice resume on the UST site for UST's Waldvogel.  Let's hope MC's punter and kicker can control his returns...I remember the 71 yarder against MC two years ago - it didn't go for a TD, but it was right after we scored to make it 20-14, and they punched it in four plays later.  We really didn't have an answer that day:  140 return yds, 96 receiving and another 18 rushing.
Good luck to the Scots on Saturday!

A little help - just saw on the front page of D3 that the MC-UST game is at 1:00 but other games are still listed at 12:00.  I'm guessing that's 1:00 EST but wanted to make sure...

thanks - FS13

Scots lose 70-56 to Central last night.  New faces and a new system, and it looked like our first game of the year.  We didn't shoot, rebound or defend well and, probably most disappointing, I didn't think our attitude is where it needs to be - yet.  Hopefully as the season progresses that will get better.  I did see that Coach Skrivseth addressed it to one of our players during a substitution late in the first half, and that player didn't start in the 2nd half - I don't think that happened in any of the last four years. 

I won't make any predictions on the season after watching one game, however.  I'll wait until the Scots have some games under their belt and a full team (since we have a couple of guys still playing fb).
