Nice looking cover page, PC.  Thanks.

It is an unusual time of year to retire. The impression I had was that Dr. Glasgow would retire at the end of this coming season. I hope it is not some type of ailment that caused him to change his mind.

I don't really have an opinion about the timing of Coach Glasgow's retirement from coaching Monmouth men's basketball, but I have to say that his quip about the Grinnell offense resembling "five mice being let out of a shoebox" remains one of my all-time favorite coaching quotes.

Via an anonymous email it has been confirmed that Saints Rest has moved one door south. I'm pretty sure my "source" knows what he's talking about.

10th Annual Beloit College Mindset List was released by USA Today.

[The Roop]

Thanks for the link Tom. They read some of those on WSAU 55AM here in New Roop City yesterday. I wanted to post the link myself but I made the mistake of looking for it on the Beloit College website. Apparently a USA Today article doesn't rate as high as an ESPN2 game as there was no mention of it. LOL.

Here ya go Mr. The Roop.

It was on the little (very little, at that...) news reel right under the picture of the campus.

Beloit Schedule

Lawrence Schedule

Ripon Schedule

St. Norbert schedule

Lake Forest schedule

Knox schedule

Carroll College

MONMOUTH


Grinnell & Illinois College have yet to submit schedules.

[The Roop]

Knox and Monmouth appear to be playing the same teams simultaneously on 11/24 and 11/25 so I'm guessing that's a misprint. It's also worth noting that Knox put a scrimmage game on their schedule which I believe is a violation of the not advertising scrimmages rule. Perhaps they meant "exhibition" instead. Although if it is an exhibition it would count against the games quota. So they are over the MWC limit by one.

Ah who cares. 3-21 isn't much different than 3-20.

[Scots4]

Knox and Monmouth always play the same teams on those days because of the dually hosted Pizza Hut Classic.

[Pat Coleman]

But they probably don't each play the same team on the same day.

Calling AndOne. Calling AndOne.
Mike Underwood from Jacksonville, Illinois and Julian Ross from Oak Park, Illinois. Do you know if they will be playing football and basketball for Beloit, or just football ??

[The Roop]

Appalachian St. just verified my last blog statement didn't they. Not that I called it or anything..... 

[The Roop]

For the geniuses out there that can't figure it out, there is no need for 4 divisions in football is what I was trying to say.

Thanks -- I don't read your blog and didn't have time to go find it to see what you said.
