anybody wanna update me about every 2 minutes?? i'm very interested at this point.. no score from IC/Carroll

well i can say the only reason i am cheering for the scots would be because of Pratt!! The skirt thing does freak me out though. As for the game, i know norbert has a good defense this year, but momouth's defense is spectacular. Their secondary is awesome. The only reason i say this is because i saw my IC team last year put up 4 TD's against norbert. I am not one to dwell on a past seasons game, but Alex tanney and his offense this year is much better than our offense last year!

SNCOLDAD: That tickets not gonna matter any more.. gotta work saturday and sunday..

Scottie: it will only be this one time! don't get used to it!

I attended the same high school as pratt. He is a hell of an athlete, i didin't have the chance to play with him as i graduated in 2003 from high school. But came back to help the time quite a few times. He was very nice to watch run the ball. Everytime he touched their was a pretty good chance for a TD. His younger cousin is the Westville running back job, and as i have been watching will be quite a good back for the next 2 1/2 years... But enough of the high school talk... anyone got me a plane ticked to the big game this week?? Being from Illinois i have to cheer for the scots for the first time in my life!! Good luck to both teams!

IC 28 LV 16

My picks:

     IC 32 LV 21
     Ripon 28 Carroll 14
     Monmouth 42 Grinnell 7
     Norbert 56 Knox 16
     LF 17 Beloit 14

     Norberts possibility for points is endless after what i saw from the Knox/IC game. Game of the week definitely has to be ripon and carroll. I don't think the pio's have enought to win this one.

what happened to ripon's QB? didn't hear anything abou it?

nobody believed me when i made the grinnell pick, i told u guys it would be a barn burner!!!

any scores from the Ripon/IC game?

Predictions for this weeks games:

          The blueboys played alright last week though they couldn't pull of a victory against LF. I'm hoping to see a possible upset this week up in cheeshead country! no pun intended. Although all the years i played there we played terrible at ripon, don't know what it was but it seemed we always played a terrible first half and a great 2nd half.

     IC @ Ripon - although i am a blueboy alum, ripon whens by 2 TD's
     Grinnell @ Lawrence - I'm going with a Grinnell upset with a strong 4th Q
     Knox @ Beloit - Beloit puts some serious points on the board, wins by 14
     Carroll @ Monmouth - Monmouth by atleast 3 TD's, They have the states all time leading rusher from my old high school
     LF @ Norbert - Game of the week, could be somewhat close, could be a blowout, although ripon and IC could be quite a showdown too, depending on what IC team shows up

Final score from Lake Forest

IC - 23 LF - 28

I don't know that home field advantage is at work for Lake Forest. I think the most people they ever put in the bleachers their against IC was about 500-700. I'm not saying that home field advantage doesn't come into play in the MWC. Their are a few places that i hated playing, most of all monmouth! those bag pipe guys just freak me out! Lawrence because of the walk.. it just seemed to take away some of the hype of pregame walking all the way down to the bowl. I definitely think Carroll has a home field advantage to due to the nice seating they have behind the endzones! that is definitely one of a kind! The rest i think besides norbert its pretty much even.. Any of you norbert guys think you will be getting turf anytime soon?

Is lake forest supposed to be good this year? From what i have seen in the last year it seemed as if they would be a little young this year in the secondary and in the backfield? Just curious for a little discussion on them!

Predictions for this weeks MWC Games:

Carroll @ Grinnell - Pio's by atleat 3 TD's.
Ripon @ Knox - Ripon runinng game dominates knox blowout!!
IC @ Lake Forest - Could be a great game, first MWC road game for IC, IC by 2 TD, but don't quote me!
Norbert @ Lawrence - No question here, Norbert Big!
Monmouth @ Beloit - Another big Tanney performance! but i think beloit will get on the board.

D.J. Jackson has continued to impress me with his special teams play! should be another good performance this week... GO BLUEBOYS!!!

How about the Blueboys!  I'm a new poster on here, i played OLB For IC since 2005. Graduated this past spring. Just wanted to coach up on the ole alma mater see how everything was going! i know a victory over Knox isn't that impressive but 62 points! The new coach at IC must be doing a few things right!
