Sorry to interrupt the Playoff talk, but Chris Howard fired as Lawrence's coach.

Associate Head coach Mike Barthlemess has been promoted to Full Head coach effective immediately.

About time, he hasn't won since he went there. Good riddance.  Best of luck to the Scots and Blueboys tomorrow!

Final
Ripon 21
St. Norbert 37

Different season, same results....Ripon still sucks....when was ghe last time you saw a successful college program running the option? Just painful to watch and it doesn't appear the top recruits are banging on the door. 

Congrats to the kilts and Mr. Tanney on claiming the 'ship and record today...

I can think of some schools in Division 1 that run the option and are doing pretty well this year...Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern.

Those are two powerhouses you hear about daily on sportscenter...get serious Woodsy!!!

So maybe "new" should be switched to "different". 2004 had a different DC than 2005.   The different DC in 2005 from 2004, left the program without ever addressing the team not even half way through the year, and a completely new....or "different"....DC came in and put in a brand new scheme in the middle of the year.  Therefore there were 4 different DC's in a matter of 12 months and it hasn't slowed down since.

Those are the facts, which to me paints a pretty clear picture that its not a winning formula to have a revolving door of DC's. This isn't the NFL or major college where players have months of pre-season activities to prepare within the new schemes...

Sncfballfan, you want a reaction? Get your facts straight,  especially about defensive coordinators at SNC. You have a right to your opinions, but don't let facts get in the way.

2002 - 2004 - Chris Howard
2005 - Marsh & McGuire
2006 - Dewitt
2007 - Dewitt
2008 - Dewitt
2009 -Dornsbos
2010 -New guy not even worth mentioning
2011 - Forgrave

You're right, I need to get my facts straight.  SEVEN new Defensive Coordinators since 2004 (which would be 7 years).  Sorry for not looking up the facts initially as I originally stated "nearly ten DC's in ten years" which doesn't appear to be that far fetched since his average is 1 new guy every year.  Don't call out a member of one of the most successful SNC classes of all time.  I understand they don't have the funds in the program to throw $$$ around to entice coaches to stay, but look at the turnover rate of every graduating class.  Pretty difficult to build any type of dynasty when players are playing under new coaches each year with new schemes, not to mention, players knowing it's just a matter of time before that guy leaves and a new one walks in the door.

I'm still waiting to heard from the Green Knight's fans what to expect out of their club this weekend.  They could certainly do the Scots a big favor and make the Carroll game meaningless in a couple of weeks.  Sorry to look ahead but I just can't see LFC, Beloit, or Knox on the Rise even coming close to MC.

I'm still sick to my stomach after the letdowns the last two weeks and have seen enough of a team that has a lack of desire, confidence, discipline, and execution. This program has fallen flat on its face as they've won a total of 1 championship since 2007 when the run of looking down from the top ended. Last years conference championship was with a 4 loss team and clearly showed they weren't explosive with the first round playoff beatdown.

A multi-million dollar stadium, rich tradition, etc, etc means nothing when you can no longer produce. This program is settling for 2nd best and I feel it needs a major shakeup. Purtill can't keep a D coordinator for more than one year (nearly 10 different DC's in 10 years) let alone keep recruits connected for 4 years as the numbers don't lie....look it up.   I strongly feel its time for him to cut his ties and move on as this program has not achieved anywhere close to the goals that were set. Look at what the new head coach at St Thomas did in 4 years with a terrible program and now a legit Stagg contender. To the rest of the league, props where deserved for putting your foot down and handing it to the no-longer bully of the league.....I'm open to thoughts

There is not seating behind the visitor's bench but it is possible to watch the game standing behind there. There's plenty of seating on the main side that having additional seating behind the visitors would be overkill.

SNC being out of the lead, major disappointment last week, 8 hr trip to Jacksonville...I'm not liking the matchup. Hopefully the D show up again, like last week, and takes care of the freshman QB.

Question?  The new SNC is definitely beautiful.

I can't be sure, from the streaming video, but does the new staduim have a visitors seating area behind the opponents bench  -or not?

I remember several years ago ,at the old SNC stadium, Monmouth fans were moved by secrity officers , to the main grandstand.  I felt disrespected.

Hope that visitors parents and supportors have seating behind the opponent's bench in a new multimillion dollar facility.

Yes or no?

MC had negative rushing yards headed into the 4th quarter and the air attack wasn't doing much of anything. SNC kept laying eggs in the red zone and that's the story of the ball game = props to MC coming up big when they were needed. Gbpuckfan....stop being a Saturday only show...hang out on the boards during the week.

MC with a great run for the winning score, 3-10 scots. Props to the Scots and best of luck bringing home the hardware. Way too many opportunities missed by the offense as they were in the red zone 4 times with zero points.

Norbs botched a punt return, scots recover. Nubbies d has been playing well but nobody else has the same killer punch today.

The Tanney air show has been unimpressive to say the least. 5 yd cross patterns all day long so far. SNC needs to push it in the end zone but props to the MC d so far for a ton of goal line stands so far.

3-3 headed into half.  Inexperienced qb and no rb's are killing snc today. Poorly played first half by the offense as the D is doing their part.

3-3...almost to half

This game started at 1 but the offense still hasn't shown up. #1 and #2 running backs are out today for nubbies and its showing early.

It was an indirect rip at MC's sports writer buddy (read the link) as they stated nobody has shared since 2002 other than LF. I knew you got your share in 2001 as I split it with you.
