I started listening to the Rockford game in the 3rd quarter, it was 46-6 then.  The radio station had switch to the badgers in the 4th when it went to 69-6.  The starters praticed in the 3rd quarter for a little bit and to give the second string a break a little bit.

I am looking forward to this weekend's game.  Trying to see if I can be at the Rockford, Westy game, it is homecoming weekend. 1st of three challenges for Rockford.  2nd Challenge Dome Day, Third Challenge Washington Univ. after Dome Day.

I would have to agree with you cwm1276.  Rockford's first challenge will be this weekend.  I am predicting a Regent win but I'm not sure if it will be tight or a blow out.  I'm curious to which Westy team will show up.  I also think the North has a big game with Northwestern and MLC.  Still picking Northwestern but think it will be close.

I see on Rockford's website that they broadcast the games - this week's game against Westminster is on tape delay.  Does anyone know what station carries this games and can it be listened to on the web?  I'd like to listen to this week's game and can't get ahold of anyone at Rockford who knows. Thanks.

It appears they are broadcast on 1380 AM WTJK based out of Janesville, Wisconsin.  They'll be broadcasting the Rockford vs. Westminster game after the Badgers/Hoosiers game, so around 3pm cst.

No mention of a web broadcast on the radio station's website, http://www.espn1380.com/

AO,

What are your thoughts on this weekends showdown between MLC and Northwestern?

[AO]

Let me put it this way, unlike last week Martin Luther is going to have to score a whole lot more than 6 points to stay in the game.  I feel like this Northwestern team is a bit better than in recent years past and with Homecoming this weekend for the Eagles, it might be a long day for the Knights. 
Of course, I can't really get a good feel for how good Martin Luther is this year, so i'm basing this upon the 2004 Martin Luther team.

Northwestern 7
Martin Luther 6
7minutes left in the 1st half

[AO]

Northwestern 28
Martin Luther 6
11:45 remaining in the fourth

[AO]

Final Score Northwestern 35
Martin Luther 6

looks like a Northwestern vs. Westminster Dome Day matchup

[sliv21]

anyone got a westminster-rockford score?

[cwm1276]

Westminster 14, Rockford 7, Defense was key.  I listened to some of the first quarter and each team had at least 1 turnover.  Looks like Westminster goes to the big game at the dome again, and Rockford plays runner-up.

Seems to be all south fans here how about UMM passing attack and the lack of offense martin luther is showing and is NWC really the favorite?

[Southfan]

Northwestern in definitely the favorite in the North but that doesn't mean anything because look at what happened in the Westminster/Rockford game!

[cwm1276]

In the preseason polls, Westminister was picked to win the south, So I would not consider the Rockford game out of place with that,  I wish the result could have been different.
Rockford has 2 more years of Umac Football, and They will win the south in at least one of them.  They are starting to get stronger teams scheduled, no more Trinity Bible as a non-conference game.  They are preparing for that new conference witch will be tougher than 3 true contests a year(Westminister,Dome Day, and Washington Univ.).

[Primetime7]

I agree Northwestern is the favorite in the North but I think UMM is the dark horse who is able and can win the north and possibly the UMAC.  If UMM can beat MLC and NWC it will shape up to be an exciting Dome Day
