If I am not mistaken IC has never beat MC since Coach Bell has been there.

OK And we can throw Montclair or Cortland in to take the spot of  Monmouth.

Well lets see if SJF is even close at half! Maybe Monmouth wouldn't have such a poor playoff record if they were an "east" team. BTW at least MC didn't lose a regular season game to a team by 26. SJF isn't likely to make a statement this Saturday.

Not much to say about the game except congrats to the Tommies.  Heard a few what ifs and buts. from fellow MC fans but all of these things would have just added up to a closer game on the scoreboard but still a victory for UST.  You could also argue the opposite, without the UST turnovers they could have scored a couple of more times. UST is just a better team on both sides of the ball. Two things that I think the Scots could have done is tackle better and despite the great Tommie D MC should have moved the ball with a bit more consistency. A few first downs would have helped keep the Tommie O off the field. Still is no shame in losing to a team like that ,and sorry IWU fans you would have faired no better. Sorry too to ST. John Fischer but I just don't see you pulling the upset next week.  Finally congrats to the Scots on their MWC championship and exciting playoff win and good luck to the Tommies against Whitewater in two weeks. That game will be on TV won't it?

Difference in that playoff game a couple years back was a couple of three and outs in 2nd half and that the Tommies were able to run the ball at will in the 2nd half. Kept the ball out of Tanney's hands. MC just can't afford to get off to a poor start like last week.

Guess I'm not sure on how to use that quote button but my response is the one on the bottom. LOL
I just don't know how anyone could watch that game and call MC a lesser team. Clearly they were as good if not better than IWU. No team was significantly better than the other at anyone position that I saw except for QB, and that's not saying their kid was bad.

Congratulations to Monmouth!

The game went about as I feared.  The Titan defense did indeed slow Tanney (it is essentially impossible to shut him down, but we certainly slowed him!), but the Titan offense has been one-dimensional ever since top running-back T. J. Stinde went down for the season early in game 3, and Rob Gallik (who will be a GREAT QB) picked the wrong game to look like a YOUNG QB (4 INTs and a fumble). I'm still convinced that IWU is overall the stronger team, but not nearly enough better to overcome that many errors (UMU or UWW might overcome that sort of thing; we won't).


I'm not convinced at all that IWU is a stronger team. Where were all of these superior athletes from the CCIW you guys were supposed to have? I was wrong when I said Monmouth would have to play their best game of the year to win, this game was far from that for the Scots.  Now I am not saying we play poorly, but the facts are Mr. Yapsi this "lesser" team as you still refer to them on other boards came back from 17 down on the road. MC totally outplayed IWU from the end of the second quarter on. How yards did IWU give up in the 2nd half? Another fact is that this game should have never went into OT, MC made a few mistakes too! You'll also say it was all Tanney but give the O-Line credit, how bout the way Yocum ran the ball down your vaunted defenses throat to win the game! I guess the bottom line is this call it for what it was, a great game by two equally matched teams that was decided by the team that made the fewer mistakes.

Pat- It was 27 - 24 Monmouth in that 2nd OT  IWU made the FG to send it to the third OT.

Not only did Pat pick Monmouth he chose the same score I did. As for the IC quarterback situation nobody is questioning the Bates kid or IC's depth chart. If anyone wants in on the joke go back to posts from last summer.

27-24! SCOTS, I'll assume you arrived at that score independently- did you have MC missing an extra point too?

And for the record Pat I was just kidding. I called it first.

Hey Pat 27-24 Monmouth? How in the world did you come up with a prediction like that???-Finally  Fulb you really have no clue. There lyrics to an old song ... He ain't heavy He's my ...
and why aren't you taking Pat to the woodshed like you did me?


Pat: I'm going to try Illinois Wesleyan here. The Titans haven't put together a lot of offense. Now, admittedly, the defense is darn good, and Monmouth hasn't faced a lot of top-flight competition. But in a shootout, I find myself wondering how much ammuniation Illinois Wesleyan has.

Name change. From Norman?

Any argument for best QB next year should include the kid from MC who started when Tanney got hurt last year. i'll wager he will have more  yards from scrimmage than any QB in the league next year. it looks like Carroll did it again with another 11 all-conference selections that placed them second in the league. last year they had 17 Lol and finished in a tie for second or fourth depending on how you look at it and this year they finished 4th. So  how do they keep getting more kids on this team than St. Norbs? Scottie I did see IC's back up QB play at the end of the MC game this year. Hard to make anything out of him with just a few plays other than there is no way his size is as big as what's listed in the roster. 

While I am the first to concede that the MWC isn't the greatest, and certainly is no where near the same class as CCIW is from top to bottom, you'd think that CCIW has sent a representative to the Stagg Bowl the last 6 years with the way some of fans are yapping on all of these boards.  Little or no one is giving MC or Dubuque a chance to even be in close games. I figured the St. Norberts game last year is the reason, but even their third place team is improved over last years conference champ. I know that the schools in the CCIW conference have had good runs in the playoffs but to be talking about winning by three or four touchdowns is certainly confident to say the least.  To argue NCC should be hosting a second round playoff game?. C'mon NCC got the gift seed over Whitewater last year and couldn't seal the deal, so now they get their chance in the Mt. Union bracket.  Anyway I am the first one to be rooting for some new blood in the Stagg bowl and maybe one of their teams can do it but for now I'd worry about at least getting out of the second round.

I'll say Scots 27-24  I think we are at least as good as Milikin. the Scots will need to play their best game of the year to do this.
