NEWS BREAK! St. Norbert's two quarterbacks combined for 10 of 30 for 157 yards and zero touchdowns and one int. By my standards thats not very suspect to the pass. You said you were at this game? Where you actually watching or texting a buddy about Benedictine who has a runningback who transfered from Monmouth and never played a down and starts in obviously a better conference then ours.

First of all I would like to state that Monmouth is #2 in the nation in pass efficiency, behind only Cal Lutheran, so better off running the rock. If you think the MWC is weak look how you faired against Lake Forest, not exactly a blowout. Monmouth won this game 56-2 and the starters were out at half. Your conference is pretty weak if you ask me. Our second place team Ripon was 8-2 who lost to Oshkosh by 1 pt.  We atleast have Ripon and St. Norbert, which both of these teams would take Aurora down. You only had one loss and it was a to a down Illinois Wesleyn team who finished 6th in the CCIW.

I saw that your squad has 30 picks on the season, which is impressive but on the other hand you havent faced an Alex Tanney, with the recievers he has to throw to.

I hope that you have a lot of trick plays in your playbook if you want to compete. Sorry Blaise but Im gonna go 37-7. I think Aurora is gonna have trouble scoring on the Monmouth Ball Hawks.

so we got the blueballs this week. They are a team that throws the rock but they are facing the number 2 team, before this week and this week couldnt have hurt, in the nation in passing efficiency. GOODLUCK!!! I cant wait to travel down to this game and watch how fast the Monmouth D looks on the turf. The IC QB has more touchdowns then tanney but on the other hand he prolly stays in later in the game then Tanney does since more than half of our games have been blowouts. I just want to see Tanney play this whole game and throw four 8 or 9 tuddys.

Like I said GOODLUCK, but no chance!

48-14 of course the Scots way

So Monmouth has another tough challenge this week against Ripon. I went to the game last year at Ripon where Monmouth lost a close one. To me the game last year looked sloppy all around. Our field goal kicker missed two field goals and an extra point. I have heard a lot about Ripons defensive backs, but will they be enough to stop Monmouth's passing O??? Also last year Ripon established the run with thier fullback early on in the game. I expect Monmouth to try and take him out of the equation and make Ripon pass the ball into the #1 defensive back squad in the nation in efficiency.

Also this year it is at home, is homecomming, and we are in the hunt for the playoffs. So i would expect us to come out fired up and ready to win. After talking to the players, they are confident in that they are going to win. This should be a defensive battle unless Ripon is not as good against the pass as people have said. Has anyone seen this teams pass defense in action and if so did they live up to the hype?

My prediction is a 34-9 win for the Fighting Scots. I do not see Ripon getting the ball in the endzone after watching them buckle down in the second half against Norbert.

Should be a great game and anyone who lives anywhere close should come check it out.

I also was one of those "Unintellectual" Scots fans at the game. And it really wasn't as bad as you all would like to make it sound. We drove 6 hours as seniors to go watch our friends play and start their pursuit of conference this year. And in case you didn't notice for every Scots fan standing up yelling at the fence you had equally as many Norbert fans in our faces as well. And as for when you guys were pulling into the game I didn't know that telling every car, "Norbert forfeited you might want to turn around was bad in anyway. I guess we just have a sense of humor and maybe u need to find one.

It was a great game but as I predicted we came out on top like we were supposed to. After talking to our players us in the stands were nothing compared to how unsportsmanlike like the SNC players were. Also a lot of the players said that they felt like they had not played up to their full potential. I can think of two main things that even kept SNC in the game. First was a kickoff fumble, and second a blocked extra point.

Sncfballfan. This is quite unlikely that fans were throwing beer cans at players from their dorms since our dorms do not surround our field!!!

Oh one more thing, that bell sounds a lot louder after a WIN!

SNOLDAD: You bring up some good points about playin weaker teams and my only response is that you should not play down to anyones level. The Scots may or may not have done that against Carroll and you guys may or may not have done that against Knox and Lawrence, only the players know for sure.

This should be a great game, and a good test for both D's. Ill be up there for the game tailgating on saturday morning come by and have a few beers and talk football.

This is to all those Norbert fans that are sleeping on the Scots this year. You guys are going to have your hands full with the Scots. First of all you guys are supposed to have a great D. You guys gave up 24 points to Knox! KNOX!!! Secondly you gave up 340 passing yards to Lawrence. Tanney is definitely a better QB than Lawrence's. He also has better weapons to throw to in Wright, Zidow, Wantland and Shepherd. So how many yards is Tanney going to throw for 500? 600??

Your O is going to have an even worse time matching up with the Scots D sticks. They still have Goranson and the warden Levy on the line. The line backers are all seniors and have a lot of experience. Artozqui, Weiden, and Olsen are beasts and are all hard hitters and can pick off the pass. Last but definitely not least the secondary. Where do I start with this group. You got the speedy Mason and Harmon on the corners. They are both physical and rarely make mistakes against both the run and the pass. At the safety positions they have hard hitting Norman and Wells. If I was the 2 Norbert QB's I would practice holding onto the rock because they are going to be taking some big hits from this fierce Scots D. It might also be a good idea to practice throwing the ball away because one bad pass and it could be pick 6 for this secondary who are all ball hogs.

Oh I almost forgot I wouldn't even think of kicking the ball deep unless you want to be Shep sauced for a quick 6 on the visitors side of the scoreboard.

My prediction close first half with the Scots pulling away in the second half 42-20!!
