I was at the IC/STN game and Norberts fans, don't get too excited. 

ICBLUE....qbfan is right.  A win is a win.  No matter how pretty or ugly it was, those kids deserve to be excited about that win or any of thier other 9 wins.  They worked hard and deserve to be proud of thier undefeated season.

Great Job KNIGHTS... Congrats on all your hard work and success.

KNIGHTS WIN

SNC RUNS THE TABLE FOR A UNDEFEATED SEASON!!!! 10-0 Season

SNC 31  to IC 27

It was a Hard Fought Game....

Lets go Knights... Tighten up before the Playoffs.  Hopefully we locked down a home game at Miniham Stadium.

I think it could be close... Basing on numbers, it could be several players in each catagory. 

Although of course I would like to see all three go the the green knights.

Apparently people get alittle defensive on this board... can't we all just get along? 

Ha ha.

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. 

Papa

That is a pretty bold statement to make especially since there has been a number of great receivers in the past 10 years.  How has he done in other games... I added the stats from the SNC game, the only game I personally saw him play, and the numbers are not impresssive.  I just think there might be some better receivers out there that deserve alittle credit also.  Obviously, me being the SNC fan that I am, would have to say that Judd OConnell is not to shabby himeslf.

Below are also the stats from the midwest conference site.  For the sake of brevity... i only copied over the top 5 in each category.

Again, im not saying the kid isnt good.... but there are others out there.  If you dig further in the last couple years, youll find more.

SNC takes Conference Title.....

SNC wins 52 to 27 and secures a post season birth in D3 Playoffs...

It looks to be a great week in the MWC...


The position units...

QB's - goes to St. Norbert and in second is Monmouth and Carroll
RB's - Carroll #1 and in second is Norbert
WR's - Norbert and IC
OL - Norbert and Ripon (Carroll is low on my list except for Guard Corey Drake)
DL - Monmouth and Carroll
LB - Carroll and Norbert
DB - Norbert #1 and Carroll/Monmouth #2

For this week...UPSET WEEK

Beloit over IC - IC keeps the skid going (upset 1)
Monmouth at Ripon - I am taking the home team Ripon (upset 2)
Lake Forest at Grinell - LF by 14
Knox at Lawrence - Lawrence by 3
St. Norbert at Carroll - 28-24 Pioneers (upset #3)
     *I will be there tailgaiting with the best of them!

MWC... those are some interesting upsets.  We obviously know that I will disagree with the SNC/Carrol game.  But I would like to hear your thoughts/reasonings behind not only the SNC/Carrol game, but also Belot/IC and Monmouth/Ripon game

Ill def will be making the game.  Usually get to the games around 11:30 or 12pm.  Just enough time to tip back a few before the game.

It goes without question, im sure you wouldnt miss it.

whoah buddy.... no kids for me.

its mwcSNC.

CCALUM23

Is there still that parking lot at the top of the hill above the endzone.  Can you tailgate up there?

IF so,  SNCOLDAD that is a good place to go.  Unless CCALUM23 can suggest any other places.

FINAL...

SNC - 42 the Scots 28

Great game.... Great effort Scots...

Going into the fourth...

SNC - 35  the Scots - 21

At the end of the first half...

SNC 21  To SCOTS 14

SCORE UPDATE

End of First quarter.

SNC 14      Scots 0

105 yd interception for touchdown by Green Knights Defense.

No. 23 Midwest Conference (MWC)
2006 non-conference record: 4-6 (One team went 0-1 in the playoffs)
Reasoning at the time of Kickoff ranking: Rarely competitive with good teams from other conferences.
2007 non-conference record so far: 2-7
What's been established so far in '07: The size of the MWC (10 teams) leaves little time (1 game each) for non-conference play, and it hasn't been good for the conference of late anyway.


Was wondering what everyones thoughts were on this??  What changes do you think we could make to help the MWC move up in the rankings?

I think the whole idea of not being able to make off campus recruit visits is a joke and never understood why that rule is in place to begin with.  I think it would only help the caliber of play with in the MWC.  The other rule I never got was not being able to have Spring Ball, like so many other conferences do.  What does everyone else think?
