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.

Unless one of them wins the award, we won't find out who came out ahead. They don't release the full voting.

I agree somewhat about a sophomore being nominated, coocoo, but then again, he was named a finalist, so it can't be considered a waste.

Season wrap-up :


This really is a two team conference right now - MC and SNC

No more asking about where the national rankings are in week 5.

62-3, 45-7 against national competition says something, albeit SJU and WW are #2 & #3

I almost think they should do away with this conferences automatic bid.... now saying that, when a team goes 8-2, 9-1, 10-0, of course they would be considered as SNC has gone 9-1 or 10-0 the last 6 yrs

There is a lot of work to do for every program

Carroll and possibly Lawrence now are looking to move up

Lake Forest, IC, and Grinnell have put themselves at the bottom as it looked like these teams didn't even want to play anymore

and where does Beloit go now with a new coach

Congrats to Tanney

Great Year

After reading IC Blue's post, I could not agree more on some of his points. Why not have spring ball? Does anybody realize how far behind that puts this conference? I know the OAC does not off campus recruit, but circumstance are quite different between the OAC and MWC. Off campus recruiting would make a significant difference.

Finally one point ICBlue did not mention, it is scary how far behind the MWC is in the coaching ranks. Teams in the top DIII conferences have 5 or 6 fulltime coaches for football, many of which without any teaching or additional coaching responsibilities.  Mary Hardin Baylor I think has 7 coaches that do nothing but coach and recruit. 7 might be a bit extreme, but changes do have to be made!

pfoot, welcome!  Long time no talk.  I agree with you on the coaching issue.  I think some MWC schools (well my beloved alma mater IC anyway) thought new facilities would be enough.  Kids want to know the coaches and if they can't visit you (or there aren't enough of them!) kids are going to go elsewhere to play.

Thanks a bunch Scots.  Losing 62-3 will really help the reputation of the conference.  I'm not saying SNC would've won but they would not have gotten embarassed like that.  Keep enjoying your 1 title because it's the only one you'll have for a long time. 62-3, are you serious??

Don't get comfortable. First time since what, 1996? Please refresh my memory.

[Kilted Rat]

Good point Greg, since as we all know, Monmouth and SNC both have lots of players still around from the 1997-2002 teams.

Next years MC seniors are 1-2 against SNC, next years juniors are 1-1, and next years Sophs are 1-0... thats means a whole lot more than MC's record against SNC when Clinton was in office!
