MBB: Midwest Conference

[systemfan86]

That could be more fun than watching monkeys and chimps fight over bananas! These two games will tell us a bunch, IMHO.

I'll take the monkeys and the 'Over' since the chimps don't use "real" primate fighting skills. They just try to wear down the gorillas to a point where they won't call any fouls!



BTW, nice use of the term bunch in the trailing sentence!

I knew a Grinnellian would catch it first! ;-)

Hey guys, as you can see, I'm not a fan of any schools in this conference, but I do have a couple friends that are freshmen for Lake Forest this year and I was wondering how they're gonna do this year. Thanks a lot.

[diehardfan]

they are called 'April's Lament' because you will never win any, you're gonna have to show up and buy one

Only cause Harris would never waste a game on you guys! Ahaha... kidding of course!

You DO drink coffee? Seems to me I remember sending you a Saints Rest cup you claimed you would fill only with tea! Besides, you aren't really a coffee drinker until you order the Vanilla organic soy latte with extra shot, but leave out the Vanilla and organic soy milk.

lol... nope! definitely have filled them with coffee on many occasions... I still love them by the way!!  every time someone tried to use them, or stick them in the diswasher instead of handwashing them, I would get really upset! hehe 

and  just cause I like things with my coffee, doesn't mean I don't like the coffee itself... sort of... 

BTW, isn't April Lament that she didn't choose to attend a MWC school?

DHF will have to answer which is the biggest lament, i guess.

Lol... you guys do remember that the only school I applied to was Lawrence, right?? You know, that MWC school that keeps making the playoffs instead of GC?

OK Now I'm not sure if that is cool or showy... thoughts?

[hjmphelp]

So DHF, if Larry is the only school you applied to and you actually went to Wheaton, does that mean you don't even have to apply there to get in?

titansrus-welcome to the MWC board, Home of the haiku and the Roopacinno! To answer your question, i think if LF has a good recruiting class they could be a contender again. I honestly can't remember if Beckford is back this year, but as an opponent's fan I sure hope not. He was possibly the most underrated player in the MWC last year next to maybe Paul Nordland from Grinnell. LF did let a home town kid get away to Grinnell-Bobby Long-a kid who should make a difference in the very near future for GC, IMHO. The conference should be more balanced than ever this year.

[hjmphelp]

wheeee! Definitely showy!!


hahahahaha! I think I like my screw up better than the intended stuff!

[diehardfan]

So DHF, if Larry is the only school you applied to and you actually went to Wheaton, does that mean you don't even have to apply there to get in?

pretty much, they begged me to come...



okay, that's a lie! I'm so ashamed! 

The only MWC school silly 

[The Roop]

Now what we need is a haiku that mentions Roopaccinos, kimchi and spam.

[The Roop]

How about..............

One Roopaccino
with kimchi and spam and scones
alka seltzer please

another quiz for you, jeffp...

In 1968, Grinnell College had an animal loose on South Campus. It was not a goat, but it did yield milk. What was that animal?



My wife left me last night. I couldn't be happier about it actually. No joke. You guys are all I've got.

[the game]

So, what are the preseason predictions for this year?  Lawrence and ripon should be at the top.  What about knox, Lake Forest, Illinois College, St. Norbert?  How are they going to be this year?  Let's hear some predictions.  Practices, I believe have started.  somebody has got to have some updates so let's hear them.

[hjmphelp]

Let the Haiku's begin!

GF68-Sorry to hear your news, but if we are all you've got, well...

I know of one hog and one cow that year although the hog wasn't loose...or was it Langan?

the game-LU and RC may or may not be at the top, but they will be in the hunt. So will just about everybody this year. Should be a crazy race.

[Early]

I would agree that Lawrence and Ripon will be in the hunt if not at the top.  Lawrence now has some added recruiting power with their last couple of playoff runs, and the fact that they always play tough D.  Ripon will be potent on offense....hard to stop....with Masson gone they need someone to step up on Defense.  Maybe you can be the guy to coach the next great defender Mas? 

As for IC?  Not sure.....5-11 last year....unless you guys are hearing some great things about their recruits?
