FB: Midwest Conference

[retagent]

I feel as if some instruction is needed for our MWC posters who don't seem to quite understand the mindset of we SJU Nation members.

You have to realize that every football season is looked upon as another chance to win a National Championship. Every year, we believe that it is possible. You can't imagine how after last years down season (7 - 3, with the three losses by a total of 5 points) has stoked the fire for this year's run.

We have been spoiled, to some extent, by our perennial success. It also has taught us that St John's can win any game they start, and, most likely they will. We have heard all the smack from other teams' fans, from all other conferences, and have become quite good at the give and take. The Scots, on the other hand, have already had a successful season. You can see that in the talk about just, "making a good run into the playoffs." If SJU does not win the Stagg, it will be a hard pill to swallow.

The "Big beats Little," comment was just another sign that not only don't they get it, it also shows that they have no sense of history, or OFS would have seen the irony of it before typing it. As repete alluded to, the MUC O line outweighed the SJU D line by an average of about 55 - 60 lbs. and were reputed to be athletic. If the zebras would have called all the holding penalties against the Mount, the game would still be going on. 

In summary, Good Luck! You'll need it.

In defense of MC's stands, many fans like to sit on the big hill on the home side. But, yes, we'd like to get more seating, and we'd also like to get pro turf and a nicer press box. Plans for all are in the works.

Yeah I see they come by the hundreds and thousands to sit on the hill

wait wait, MC is in Ohio now.......

well they did just steal away our president, he is a great man, we miss you giese!!!

retagent, i get it.  i dont need you, to explain winning to me.  some of you johnnies really need to take a step back, and realize something a lot of the posting you see from MC, is not coming from former players.  rather proud alumni and/or those who just enjoy following the team, Like Myself.  I root for MC because i know how a winning fball tradition can change the dynamic of a smallish town Monmouth=9900, and an even smaller campus MC=1300 (largest enrollment ever).  We are not claiming to be Texas (going against USC).  more like we are hoping we can become Gonzaga-bball (perenially strong david contender against the D3 goliaths).  The MWC will never be a great fball power top to bottom, but we will always compete.  i as well as the Scots Nation are just hoping that this is the year gonzaga makes it to the final four......

as far as the trash talk goes, would it be more fun for you guys if i just pulled a Knox(our rival) and bent over and took it.  Naw, not me.  i was a part of Fighting Scots teams that win all the time and do get national recognition.  i know what it is like to look down on opponents and i hope for my scotties to one day get to SJU's level.

Quite Frankly, yea your good, but so are we, and maybe this year will be ours 8)

that side in the photo is three years ago against Nubs and happens to be right in front of the fraternity houses, not exactly a "family" atmosphere......

[kubiack78]

There is no way this kid in Monmouth's weight room can put up 320....anybody want to disagree

Mighty Royal

I think those are actually plastic tires from a couple of "big wheels"

[Old Fighting Scot]

OneArmedScot - Thanks for the clarification on your prediction.  I get your point now but you know that us MWC fans get a little jumpy at times with the negative views of our conference!

Not much else to say at this point--we're less than 24 hours away from kickoff now.  Too many posts over the last couple days and not enough time for me to keep up with all of them so I won't even try to respond to all the stuff that I could have.  This will probably be my last post before heading up north later tonight.  Can't wait to tailgate with some old Fighting Scots (oh, and looking forward to meeting/tailgating with some Johnnies also I guess ) and then see a hell of a game!

[Old Fighting Scot]

Damnit,

i found a great picture on the johnnies website and i cant post it.  help me out......
