Personally, I like a little bio on each player.  Saint John's does a nice job (I may be partial).

Gotta agree with Duff...having a bio for the players is nice.  And now for the picks!

Week 4 Games

Ripon @ Cornell - CC
St. Norbert @ Illinois C. - SNC
Beloit @ Lake Forest - BC
Knox @ Lawrence - LU
Grinnell @ Macalester - MC
Carroll @ Monmouth - MC

Looks like a great weekend of games to me!  Roll Scots!

He's BACKKKKKK.
So those of you that have been around a while, take a look back at the Lake Forest stats from 2012.  There was a freshman running back that turned some heads and then fell off the radar. He was the leading rusher in the Monmouth victory.  He was a hard, tough runningback who was a big part of the offense that year.   Well Joey Valdivia is back and played his first game for the Foresters in so many years.  Ran for 160+ yards and 3 touchdowns in hs first day back.  Big part of the Lake Forest win.  I was told he was back but wasn't playing until today so I was holding my breath.  Very excited to see him return.  Also had a 100+ yard day from Charlie Quinn!j

Rumor has it that the MWC ADs are planning a conference call this afternoon to determine if the rest of the season should still be played or if they should just let LFC rest up for the big game against Whitewater where they will be a+3 favorite.

Tune in to Sportscenter (Scott Van Pelt version) or go to espn.com to see a pretty amazing catch by Ilir Emini of the Knox Prairie Fire.  Definitely worth a look.

Come on man...not going to happen🎅🏿

So the AD meeting went on without a decision I heard.  But they did decide to put an asterisk next to the 2012 Monmouth championship due to unfootballlike conduct.  Also known as tip toeing out of bounds.

Lots of tulips in the Forest!

Glad to see you're still alive. After that 49-0 loss to Gustavas I wasn't sure if you made it through.

Of course I'm still around Dangle.  Whenever I get down like after that game I just play the highlight film from the last time we played SNC.  Remember that one?  31-3?  Here's a link in case you forgot!

Scottie, I see Tanney was signed by the Colts.  Since Luck is now the lowest ranked QB in the NFL this year maybe he breaks the glass roof!

If you missed the Knox play some are talking about seeing on SVP's show... it is this week's D3football.com Play of the Week. Enjoy: http://www.d3football.com/awards/playoftheweek/2015/week4

I haven't forgotten, especially since you guys parlayed that big win into a fine 4-6 season last year. I also haven't forgotten who won 27 of the first 29 games in the series. I guess we all have to take our victories when we can.

[fulbakdad]

We would have been 5-5 but we didn'the get to play you.

Now THERE's the LFC I remember...
