FB: Midwest Conference

Rare that Monmouth and Norbert play this early in the year. Interested to see if this plays a factor (having 2 games on a team is different than 9) and players grow throughout the year. IMO, Nobert has improved throughout the season traditionally under McCarty.

I'll say...Norbert in another low scoring fair.

SNC 10
Monmouth 3

I don't think it's a far gone conclusion that these two meet up again. Chicago will give the Scots everything they can handle in a few weeks.

If Norb gave up 50 to Aurora I think Monmouth's gonna put up a lot more than 3.

I think you're right about the MWC final and Chicago though. That'll be an interesting outcome too, Chicago vs Lake Forest. Should reveal whether LF is a real threat to reach the MWC champ game out of the North.

This will be a teller for Lake Forest.  Are they too young with all the new talent that has come in will be decided tomorrow.

I pick Monmouth by about 190.....

Yikes. SNC has thrown three interceptions inside its own 35. Monmouth converts on all of them. Scots up 24-7 late first.

This prediction has a chance

[fulbakdad]

Guess my prediction had hope, but fell short. 

[Not My Nachos]

Monmouth should have put 190 on St.N.  Monmouth is a very good team thats been suffering by way of offense.  More specifically, they are forcing the issue by not going in a different difection at QB. 

Monmouth will roll over the remainder of their schedule and look very good, statistically speaking.  The one team that can give them fits, and will, is going to be Chicago.

Jeez Nachos, didn't you read what happened to the last guy who said his team was gonna roll the whole season?

lol

Hi Fulbak!  Sorry, i actually meant that to be a little less posative than it seemed.  Im new...call it ignorance.

The remaining schedule for MC isnt bad (easy is the wrong word).  With that, they should do well despite an average, at best offense.  Midwest Conference is a bit down this year.  Much like MC, it is built off of younger players.  MC is very strong in the other areas of the game, but not a top 25 team.  As of now, despite the deficiencies, they are the favorite to get the "nod" for the playoff bid.  A good MWC team, playing well and rich with upper classmen, can prevent them from getting there.

Wrong choice of words from a Board Freshmen.

Anyone seen Scottie?  Did we forget to wake him up?

YAWN.......... Any questions?

Not sure that exists. Based on this weekend's schedule I don't think we'll learn much about the rest of the MWC. Now that I've just about completely fallen off the Ripon bandwagon maybe they'll show some signs of life vs MC Saturday...

[fulbakdad]

Scottie, how are you?

Grinnell has cancelled the remainder of its season, starting with Saturday game vs St Norbert.

um wow.

1 - No one wants to see any one hurt, so in that sense, kudos to the administration

2 - Have to wonder if the players were consulted, and, if so, what they wanted

3 - No one likes getting their ass kicked, but I hope that wasn't a factor in the decision

4 - I get that you can't forfeit what you haven't started, but also, in a small way, not fair that the opponents don't get a W

Interesting that as of this writing, it's on D3football and SNC's site, but not on Grinnell's
