FB: Midwest Conference

[gbpuckfan]

It would be fun if your conference could pull off an upset once and send everything spinning.

SNC beat Simpson in 2003... not sure all would classify that as an upset...

But Monmouth's 2011 win at Illinois Wesleyan may...

"so you're saying there's a chance..."

Definitely consider that game an upset. But doesn't mean that nobody thought it could happen:

I remember Pat at the time reading your projected win for Monmouth and wondering...was a great call...it happens...it's called football

An average of 6.4 wins/season over a 25-year span sounds like an amazingly patient football community.  Kudos.

Do you think there's an MWC school where averaging 6.4 wins per year wouldn't be good enough to keep your job?  I can't think of one.

6-4 wasn't good enough for SNC to keep Opgenorth after his first season.

Hows the weather there?

If you are looking ahead to Saturday, expected to be 35 and sunny.

6-4 is kinda like kissing your sister.

Weren't there other circumstances surrounding that SNC coach, though?  I'm not saying 6-4 is a great record, I'm just saying that given the emphasis most MWC schools put on football and sports in general that if a coach consistently went 6-4, his job wouldn't be in jeopardy unless there were other things going on.

Those are my thoughts as well.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  Safe Travels.

More of a basketball & track item, but SNC has submitted plans to De Pere for the long-awaited expansion of the Schuldes Sports Center

Still, 2 losing seasons in 25 years is another amazing feat.

Time flies. Alex Tanney is 28. Good to see him get his chance yesterday!
