[Old Fighting Scot]

its basketball season....

[Early]

D-Rock2400,

I don't know if you team says anything, but it is comon sense that you don't post before your career is over.  I bet, more hope, that your coach has some words for you.  If not he better get that in check.

Old fighting scot, you bet!!!  Basketball is in full swing!

Scots, sound like a great effort against a far better team but.....
I hope that everyone that roots for a MWC football team contacts the A.D. & President at their school and INSIST on a few changes.  Why should the MWC year after year put up with age old methods of running a D3 football program?  If you want more alums to support their school, give more contributions, then LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD! There is a direct correlation with money given to a school and a successful athletic program.  We all want to be proud of our schools on and off the field.  How much is all the free press in the local/regional sport pages when the name of your school is associated with a winning?!?
1. Off campus recruiting... the coaches need to develop realationships (face to face) with the High School coaches by visits.  They also need to visit the games, scout the players and visit the players on their turf.
2. Spring Ball.... Can someone give me one logical reason that this does not happen?
3. More out of conference games with contenders no more Macalester's, Blackburn's, etc.
4. Saturday Night Games (get some lights!)
5. Double headers with local high school teams or Pop Warner teams to showcase others to your programs....

It get old to get beat up, year after year like a rented mule, make some changes, give all of us a little hope, take pride in your conference or just get rid of football.

Nice points, but this one stuck out. My friend, this is college football, not semi-pro ball. Maybe you have some lavish idea in mind that I just don't get. Who knows.

Judging by the fan base of most of the schools in this conference, the stadiums would damn near clear out after the high school game. That would look real good.

Not one of your best efforts with point No. 5.

My appoliges, I shall retire.

[scottie]

Don't retire...  Just hibernate for about three more years.  Good luck and work hard with your remaining seasons.  According to the roster, you look like the size of guy we need to slow down the Kevin Mcnamara's of the world.

I don't think size was necessarily the problem...

Good luck on getting the t-shirt TC

Well, you got the "prick" part right--that's for sure.  But the picture is of Walter Payton, so at least that's a good thing there!

I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I agree with Greg for once.  ICBlue had some good points in that post, but number 5 really wouldn't help out much.

D-Rock2400 - Like scottie said...don't retire, just hibernate for 3 more years, help the rest of the current Fighting Scots keep rolling, and then post with the rest of us once you're old and done with it all too!

TC - Buddy, I should've set up a t-shirt exchange with you a few days before the MC-SJU game.  Not the playoff shirt, but just a Fighting Scots t-shirt in exchange for a Johnnies t-shirt.  Oh well, maybe another season.

Old Fighting Scot is right.  It's now basketball season, which means time to pull double duty checking the hoops board along with this one too.  But that shouldn't be too tough since this board will really slow down now that the Johnnies have left.

I reference to my point #5, I may be searching but getting the local regional high school students on your campus couldn't hurt.  Since my point about the coaches can't visit their (H.S. players) games...then bring the freakin game to the coaches!
In addtion Pop Warner kids would think this was a big deal and many of these families would never step foot on most MWC football fields.

Tanney finalist for D3 heisman...

OFS-
It's the Gagliardi!
Still can't get yourself to say it? 

[Old Fighting Scot]

i can say it just cant spell it, been eatin a lot of crow lately and my mouth is kinda dry......

[coocooforcoekohawk]

The real race in the Gagliardi voting is between Tanney and Harbaugh.  That is what seems interesting to me.  It would be sweet revenge if Tanney comes out ahead of Harbaugh.
