according to the website the Ripon D tied the school record for passing yards given up in a game at 8 and the offense was 3rd in school history in rushing yards.. good day for the hawks.. most likely a little different this week..

2. MWC does NOT have spring football. How much does that affect success?

Most definitley it does.. I mean your not going to get kids graduating early to participate in spring practice but its extra days of coaching with the depth chart that your going to be using (for the most part minus a couple freshmen) in the fall. If coaches are putting in a new scheme or if there is a new coordinator they can implement that stuff so the kids have a basic understanding of what they are doing and can work on it over summer. I'm sure most schools, at least the successful ones, have players that want to win and work hard and get the guys out there on their own for 7 on 7 and stuff to try and stay sharp. I think its something that shold be implemented to help raise the quality of football in the conference.

To be honest that Ripon game is misleading.. for example it was 13-9 at halftime, and it was pretty obvious ripon was the better team in the 1st half.. they missed a couple opportunites which could have put them ahead but thats the game.. they won the TOP battle by 30 seconds but thats misleading as well as Ripon's D was on the field the entire 3rd quarter.. They tried a sneak pooch kick thing(awful idea) to start the half, osh got the ball at the Ripon 45 and scored then the redhawks fumbled the snap or the qb dropped the ball as it looked from the bleachers and they scored and momentum was squarely on the side of the Titans for the rest of the game even though Ripon put together an 8 minute scoring drive in the 4th to save face a little bit I really think this was just one of those games where things go right for a team and not for the other but thats football..

whew, that was way too long... To be honest, as much as I hate to say it but I think its pretty much SNC and MC as the game of the year.. but everyone thought that last year and look what happened.. cant wait for this weekend.. Ill be in Lake Forest and where hopefully Ripon can figure some stuff out and put up some points.. I know they were embarrassed with how they played last year after scoring td's on the first 2 possessions then only beating the Foresters 14-3..

Hey guys... sorry I was gone for so long

week one was sure interesting eh? kind of embarrassing minus a couple good things.. knox.. cmon thats awful, and north park is pretty awful too.. havent seen them play in 2 years but Im not sure the last time they won a conference game... People i talked to at Ripon said they've never seen a team play more flat in a quarter.. 1st half was really close? oh well..

Week 2:
IC vs Knox- IC.. knox may be the new lawrence
Monmouth vs Lawrence- Lawrence continues its 1 game win streak and upsets the scots! jk, monmouth HUGE
Ripon vs Lake Forest- Ripon figures their stuff out and wins by 3 scores
St. Norbert vs Grinnell- Green Knights get another
Carroll vs Beliot- Beloit wins...?

I heard a rumor that Mr. Alex Tanney was transferring to NIU? Career wise if he's lookin to play football after college it might make sense but there's quite a bit of family history there so he might not what to leave. He could play there if he bulked up a lil bit, maybe quit pickin on those undersized db's of the MWC  haha. I'm sure thats not going to happen but i know the rest of the conference wouldnt have any complaints about it

the all-region teams surprised me a little bit..  i could NOT believe winter had made first team.. kinda nice to see 2 out of 3 returners from the MWC and 3 off first teamers (even if they are scots..  ) Kraemer got on the list twice as defense and returner.. Beloit also gettin a guy on the list.. figured mahoney or whatever from grinnell would have made it.. wasnt he leading the nation in tackles for teh whole year?
either way nice for deserving guys to get recognized

That is just amazing that a coach can cost a team 17 pts per game. Then again, Marty Mornhinwig did coach in the NFL.

did somebody say ray rhodes?

ok well id like to send my congratulations to monmouth on a helluva season and hey, at least the MWC got one win and are one for one.. st. norberts win percentage... not so much  j/k guys.. monmouth definitley had a favorable matchup and took advantage, they earned it with the regular season...

is it august yet?!?!?!?!

i dont know if this was true or not but i heard that the 3rd down play would have been a touchdown had the ball not been dropped? If I'm wrong im sorry but if this is true the coaches put them in a position to ice the game. Im not denying that the ball shoud have been run there, obviously thats a running situation especially if you are able to kick the fg and go up 7 the next play but If the ball was dropped by an open reciever I dont know if you can entirely put it on the coaches? Once again I didnt see the game, this is just what Im hearing from friends so I'm sorry if Im wrong

hey now.. we cant be giving info to Aurora.... he is a gametime decision... doubtful

ya that post means he is playing..  that was quite the rant.. haha... possibly a lil ridiculous, makin ur team sound like they could beat mount union.. mt. monmouth st. a&m tech is pretty good but im not sure if their O could keep up with some of the top Defenses.. Im not saying tehy arent unreal and i know thye are top in the nation but when you got guys that coulda gone d-1 or transfers from OSU playin corner, your wr's are gona get shut down.. Im still rooting for em (maybe a lil less after that message ) im just happy the NAC guys are done arguing like 6th grade girls.. whew..

Here's an idea...how about all you monmouth jags stop talkin crap (not all of you have been but you know who you are if you have).....WHO CARES WHICH TEAM HAD THE HARDER SCHEDULE OR WHO DID BETTER AGAINST THEIR ONE COMMON OPPONENT OR WHO'S OFFENSE IS RANKED OR WHO'S DEFENSE IS RANKED OR WHO'S QB IS BETTER....the only thing that matters is who brings it every play for four quarters on Saturday.....ANY TEAM CAN BEAT ANY OTHER TEAM ANY SATURDAY....this should be a great game and I can't wait to see it.....

does this guy understand what a message board is? haha this is why they were created.. so the old folks like us can discuss who had the harder schedule, whos O or D is better and who's qb is better.. you do know this is what every espn analyst does right? we're just not cool enough to be on tv.. take er easy..

as far as the ripon comment.. ive seen a few of their games and ya, monmouth is better but ripon isnt a team to laugh at.. they took a wiac school literally to the last second where they went for 2 with 30 seconds left for the win and were "controversially" stopped and were up on monmouth with 3 minutes left.. they are a good team worth talking about even though i guess besides strength of schedule talk its pointless?? ... sorry thats my homer rant for the day..

Yeah Fatal man and remember the time I scored 18 points in a seventh-grade basketball game against North Pine Prep you conniving bastard?

LCLB52, please take your argument back to the NAC board.

Great post...and I will 100% agree with you.  Back your team man, but don't come on here and talk about the one play you made against the 3rd string of a 1-9 team, in your infamous four-year career that kept you on the sidelines because the coach had it out for you, injuries you couldn't overcome, and time spent trying to figure out what the heck is so ferocious about a "MUSKIE"  Great tradition, Mr. 73-12 against UW-W.  Go back to your board LCLB

THANK YOU SO MUCH.. for the hardest ive laughed in a long long time. I was at the game vs. UWW.. ugly.. the "muskie pain train" was derailed for sure. Im sorry LC but you did bring this on yourself for arguing with a player from your on conference on this board.. thats just poor party etiquette

, MC posters are making motivation easier though by giving bulliten board material,

really? a college football team needing motivation for a playoff game? there is no team that should be taking things off this website and putting it on their bulletin board.. if so, WATCH OUT! cause they are nowhere near where they need to be for saturdays game

Ive seen Monmouht play against a defense of a very high caliber(Ripon) and they still rolled for 38.. i wish i could tell ya how to stop em but its not easy... ripon shut em out in the 3rd quarter and monmouth came right back and figured out how to counter the look RC was using and scored 14 in like 6 minutes? I also talked to a couple guys who have played against AU this year and said they are pretty darn good too, so i guess we will see.. Monmouth's a pretty hostile place to play for a d3 game and that cannon almost made me crap my pants the first time it went off..

MC 42-AU 28..
good luck to both teams!

hey roop did you get to the point game yesterday? if so what did you think?

From what ive seen on fsn point is maybe a lil overrated.. not saying they arent good cause they clearly are.. they are the wiac champ and beat the defending nat'l champs but i think they are beatable. Teams just dont seem to finish against em when they have a chance to take them out.

MC is gona win this one folks. I think the nathcon is less talented then the mwc.. and monmouth is for real.. O GOD watch out.. aurora has one guy with good numbers.. Ripon had at least 2 db's with legit numbers and look what happened there... torched.. we'll have to see how monmouths D will come out... That will be the key for them. And they can beat point..  time for the mwc to show up and get something done in the playoffs for once

not to shabby bobo.. bout time you make a legitimate contribution to the board..  .. just kidding big guy..
