FB: American Rivers Conference

[CaliRamRL6]

I'm surprised there's not more chatter about the upcoming toilet bowl.  Somebody is going to leave Mt. Vernon with a win. I actually have a good feeling it will be the Duhawks.  We'll then catch a reeling 3-3 Wartburg team and surprise them in the Rock Bowl and beat BV on the road for a respectable finish a la the early-oughts Hawkeye teams.  This should build to conference championships for the next few years.  That's the way I'm seeing if folks, anybody with me?

Someone at work brought up the toilet bowl. This is a game that Cornell could win if they play a full 4 quarters. They're numbers are thin but I believe they have the talent and coaching to knock off the Duhawks at home. I think I might even make the game.

Cali, if you go to the game send me a couple text updates please!! Not sure I'll be near a computer to watch the game on the internet.

I'll do my best. I'll have to leave early so I can go home and get sexy for a wedding we have to go to.

I will be coming to the game at Dubuque on Saturday. Who do I need to meet and where will you be tailgating?

The food will be better in Waverly.

Just moving to the MWC is going to make Cornell look better in the W column.

Sarcasm or your true opinion?

That's my opinion, yes. There are more winnable games for Cornell in the MWC. The Rams may well also improve on the field, but they will definitely improve because of the competition. Are they playing Coe for their non-conference game?

Ok, I was saving this for Simpson but here goes

A group of Dutch backpackers were sitting around a campfire one dark evening when a stranger asked to join them. Glad to have the company, they agreed. Soon the conversation turned to jokes, and one of the camping group started to tell jokes with Wartburg being the butt of many of them. The stranger who apparently graduated from Wartburg got angrier and angrier at each joke. So he finally had enough and pulled out his razor and began to threaten the Dutch with it. Fortunately for the Dutch the Knight couldn't find an outlet to plug it in.
Go Dutch!

Wish I could join you.  Should be a great weekend in the Spartan Nation.

GO SPARTANS!

I agree with the more winnable games part. They still need work on recruiting, retaining talent, and getting more support outside of the athletics department.

It's my understanding that they want to keep that Coe-Cornell rivalry going. I don't know what their schedule looks like though.

I'm counting on an exciting game in Waverly tomorrow.  If Central gets the 60 penalty yards Wartburg spots in an average game, and the Central running backs get it going early so that the Wart defense can't just play, "Tackle Snead" all day, then I think the Dutch should have a pretty good chance to pull the upset.  Go Dutch!

Central 5-1  6-2
Wartburg 3-2  5-2

Upset???  Ok, the game is in Waverly and the Knights are regionally ranked and recieving votes for the top 25 while Central is not...I guess you could call it an upset if the Dutch win.

I thought I seen this joke before? It wasn't half as funny until Old Dutch put Wartburg in the joke, because now there's the possibility that it could happen.

Good luck Spartans

Just moving to the MWC is going to make Cornell look better in the W column.

The Rams never see the likes of the Knoxes, Lawrences, and Beloits in IIAC play.  So there should be opportunities.  If the Rams stay status quo (which would suck) then they have a chance to go 3-7, 4-6, and 5-5 annually, being in the MWC.  That wouldn't be defined as success from my point of view...

Keeping Coe on the schedule is good for the romance of a long rivalry...but unless they commit to improving football resources it is an automatic annual loss...barring a massive Coe program collapse.

[Purple Heys]

The Duhawks come back to the scene of the Rams' only IIAC win in the last several years...Can the Rams pull another one out?

[AZDutchman]

Two boys are playing football at a park in Pella, IA, when one of the boys is suddenly attacked by a crazed Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes a stick and shoves it under the dog's collar, twists it, and breaks the dog's neck, thus saving his friend.

A sports reporter who was strolling by sees the incident and rushes over to interview the boy. He tells the boy, "I'll write a story and title it 'Young Central Fan Saves Friend from Vicious Animal'".

"But I'm not a Central fan." the little hero replies.

"Sorry, since we're in Pella, I just assumed you were," says the reporter.

"I'm a Wartburg Knights fan," the boy says. "They're the best."

The reporter smiles, starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes: "Little  F****r  From Waverly Kills Beloved Family Pet."

All joking aside, I think the game tomorrow will be one to remember for awhile.
Unfortunately, I may have to miss this one. I tried to move my schedule around for work, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Hey, AZD...you don't look so well.  Are you coming down with something?  You better take tomorrow off from work so you don't pass whatever you have on to someone else!!!
