Tough loss. Patrick was at the game and said the Redmen wasted a lot of scoring opportunities. Long way to go to come out of the losers bracket but nothing's impossible!

6-3 bottom of 8th

3-1 heading into bottom of the 6th

Redmen up 3-0 in the fifth of game 2

Redmen up 3-0 in the fifth after losing the opener, 4-2.

Haven't been by in a long time but I had to check in to say "Congratulations" to the Redmen and Coach Rucks on their stunning victory at Wheaton!

I was looking for Coach Conwell's obituary and could not find it.  Does anybody know which day and/or which paper I could find his obit?

jaybird...Coach Conwell's funeral is going on at this moment. He was a class act and a true gentleman! He will surely be missed!

That was the finest hitting performance by any Carthage team that I have watched in the past eight seasons! The ECon pitchers didn't have a clue how to get the Redmen out! Jeff Livek had great command of his pitches for the entire game and the defense was spectacular! Jose Alba, Steve Rucks and Boe Baitinger made some outstanding defensive plays!

We had a great time tailgating with RedMan1, Cowboy and a host of others! Redmanfan made it in time for the celebration last night along with 2002 CWS members Joos Hallock and Eric Krull. Also saw Danny Gasner, Adam Husing and John Hendrick - former Redmen baseball players. Not too many other former Redmen baseball players in attendance - very disappointing! Hopefully they will show up today to take our place since we had to get back home this morning.

Good luck Redmen - you can do this!!!!!!

RM1...I'll have two guys with me that played in the 2002 World Series - Pat Brown and Dan Lorum. What do you need for yourtailgate?

Poppa...talked to Augie tonight and he is ready for Friday! Patrick, Danny Lorum and I are headed to Grand Chute on Friday. Are you going to make it in for the World Series?

You can't beat the excitement of college sports - at any level!!!!!

Let's Go Redmen!!!

Wow...Tom Beck! That brings back memories!! He was my coach at St. Procopius, Illinois Benedictine, Benedictine, whatever you want to call it in 1970. He came from West Leyden HS and brought the Eagles their first winning season since 1952! He won 37 games in his five years in Lisle! Turned that program around and was the Eagles most successful coach of all time! Did the same for the Blue Jays.

He did go to Notre Dame as the running backs coach under Lou Holtz in 1991. I think he went to Illinois for a year after ND. The last time I saw him was in the fall of 2003 when he went back to Benedictine as the OC under Tom Mitchell.

I think he struggled as an assistant because he was always a very successful head coach before heading to South Bend. Patrick and I had a picture taken with him on the field before the ND spring game in 1991.

He was doing the ND post game show on Saturday's and wrote for Blue & Gold Illustrated. Not sure if he's still doing either of those jobs.

He was an offensive genius!!!

Congrats to the Cardinals and Thunder! Great to see two CCIW heading to the second round! It has to be especially exciting for the NCC fans! Good luck in the state of OH. Hopefully the good karma was used up in Columbus and Cincinnati yesterday!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Tailgater...congratulations on Ryan being named 1st team all-conference!

Good luck to the Cards & Thunder!

JB...saw Coach Krohn on Saturday night. He let us warmup and dress at your alma mater before the game with York. Those are really nice facilities at Elmhurst!!

4:15 left and all the guy keeps saying is NC leads by a FG. Don't know the score.
