FB: Midwest Conference

[Longtooth]

I just saw that the job at Beloit is going to open up, does anyone know what happened here?  What is the job like, I would assume that they can be good just based on location.  Any info?

[The Roop]

Coach DeGeorge has simply decided to call it quits after 29 years as Head Coach and A.D. I don't think "anything happened there" to force him out.

As far as Beloits ability to be competetive because of their location, mmmmmmm, I have to agree with Dolph. Football isn't that big a deal in the conference and it's not cheap to attend any of the schools.

More often than not the MWC entrant in the NCAA field will face a National Power in the first round, because of their location, so advancing to the second round is never likely to happen. I'm not holding my breath to see a MWC team in the Stagg Bowl any time soon as it would require major upsets throughout the bracket.

     It looks like an old, cold rivalry may heat up this weekend in Appleton.  I'd put the over/under at ten(personal fouls not points).

They say it can't be a rivalry when it's one sided. (Lately that is). Don't have time to look up the history, but I'm sure someone is aware of it. Please advise.

SNC-LU shold be a good one. Lots of story lines there. Many a close game between the two so I'd call it a rivalry. History has to favor SNC slightly. I know they played a night TV game a few yrs back. Is this one @130 or later? I still like SNC,but not by >8. GO RC -7;CC -5; LFC -10 ; MC -28.

Play well all
Be safe

There will be a Nation-wide search conducted following the season.
They have some great options if they decide to stay in-staff. The success of the program's future will soley depend on how the college allows the new staff to recruit.

Rome-
   Does the school not allow them to recruit off campus?  How about the league?

[papa90]

Longtooth,
The MWC does not allow off campus recruiting.  This is one of the main reasons why the MWC is not a premiere league.  If a coach wants to get a player from a big time program in the state.  The WIAC or the CCIW will send there coaches or players their to recruit.  The MWC sends them a postcard.  I know what school I would go to if a coach showed up and asked me to go to their school. We lose high quality players every year, not because of the money issue, though that may drive some away, but the face to face contact that the players want and need.  Hopefully the MWC will get something straight in the years to come.  On the other hand, Scotties have a great game next up at Grinnell.  Beat the Pioneers!

PAPA-
   THX FOR THE INFO!!  HOW DID NORBERT'S DO IT?

[PapaSmurf]

1985 Bears...Yes!!!

Saturday (10/8) Final Scores
Carroll 31 - Beloit 21
Monmouth 69 - Grinnell 14
Lake Forest 28 - Knox 14
St. Norbert 44 - Lawrence 15
Illinois College at Ripon, can't find a score yet

[Hawk Sighting]

Ripon pulls out the W. 

Early, how was homecoming?  Lot of people back?  Good game to watch?  See they won, but how did they play?

And for those of you that said the Lawrence vs St. Norberts games was going to be a good game, must have been drinking or taking something.  Give Lawrence two or three years with this new coach and then there might be a "rivalery"   Otherwise its the same ole same ole when the big houses play the boys in blue.
