FB: Midwest Conference

[judgetrainer]

scottie I am a Lawrence alum (stop laughing, LU used to be good a generation ago when I was in school). And this season a holding call or four would not matter. Probably not next season, either. But if LU can put together some recruiting classes and have a shot at .500 again those calls matter.

I could observe that holding is not called well in the NFL either but since I am a Packers fan my team needs all the help it can get in protecting the QB so...

After watching more games this season than I have in a long time I have a question which will sound snarky but is not intended that way at all. Just an observer sort of thing.

Do MWC officials just not know what holding is? I saw perfectly executed blocks called for it and Saturday I saw a defender twirled by an O lineman five yards from the white hat and there was no flag. Am I the only one that has noticed this (which, of course, means I am nuts)?

Those refs were tired from flagging girl's volleyball at the Resch all weekend.

Damn Scottie, I come over to the Dark Side and you hit me with memories of 2nd grade?  Remember, an enemy of my enemy is called my friend!

Good Guy Nation welcomes you, Dad!  Please send Maverick your kilt measurements and t-shirt size for our run to the Stagg Bowl.   

[fulbakdad]

X large.  It may cheer you to know my family actually has a Scottish plaid. 

But you also must know this will only last until Saturday about 4 pm your time.

New AD at Lawrence announced this morning.

I say roll Scotts!

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but dislike - if not outright hate - of another sports team is a close second. Thanks!

[fulbakdad]

Oh Dangle, hate is such a strong word.  But yeah, guess so.  Got some pretty good reasons why, but my time is just too limited to go on about it here.

Wonder how much of the handling (or mishandling) of the HFC last year at LU had to do with that?  Questions that will never be answered.....

Since I am an honorary Scot this week, how do I get a message to the Coach to make sure there's no tip toeing out of bounds Saturday?

[fulbakdad]

Since I'm a new Scot fan, did anyone else pick up that our former QB Tanney became the #2 qb at Indy today?  Just following my guys...

Scot fans, new and old, should probably start tuning into Colts games - lest you think a 40 year-old is going to hang in there for the next 2-6 weeks.  Things are about to get good for the MWC.

[fulbakdad]

Scottie,

My high school girlfriend was that 40 year old QB's baby sitter when he was an infant(fact).  Guess that means I'm getting old too!

Don't know what happened at Lawrence last year. Don't really know what happened at St. Norbs last year either. Not everything is intended to be everyone else's business I guess. Looks like SNC got things squared away this year though. Jury still out at LU.

[judgetrainer]

Jury will be out for a while at LU. The talent pool was pretty lean. 25 years of bad football is not turned around in a year or two. Still, I am hopeful.

I do not know what fulbakdad knows that I don't. I only know the outgoing AD remains the HC for the men's hockey team.
