What's the best way to get to the Banta this fall with the bridge construction on College Ave?

Sorry for the late reply.  I haven't checked the board in a few days.  Cross the Lawe Street bridge and turn left on River Street.  Or swim  :)

SNCOLDAD:

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond.  The visitor locker room at Wartburg is directly underneath the Wartburg bleachers on the west side of Walston Hoover.  I assume the team buses will be parked somewhere near Lot "O", so if you are going to set up for your postgame feed, that might not be too bad of location.  

I hope you have a safe trip.  We'll see you Saturday morning.

Go Scots!

The Roop

Americas Team "The Beloit College" has continued where they left off last year and the streak is now at 2 following a 27-17 victory over visiting MacMurray College. A couple turnovers put the Bucs behind 10-0 in the 1st quarter but they scored the next 27 to take control. A couple late turnovers made the game a little more interesting than it should have been but the defense only gave up one big play in the 2nd half to close out the scoring.

My discovery, Derek Carrier, was thrown to 3 times but did not have any receptions. Although if D3 had review he'd have one for sure, the other two were not particularly well thrown; kinda windy today etc. Still, you've gotta love a freshman that can pancake DBs and push LBs around when called on to block. Didn't get any hits on special teams but he knows his assignments. Easy to see why D1s were interested in him.

In conclusion, while Beloit will not challenge for the MWC crown, they won't 3-peat a 1-9 record either. Next week @CU will be a good barometer on their predicted 8th place finish.

Let me first state I'm a wartburg fan aka Evil Empire. ;D ;D ;D not that you could tell. I was surpise by the score as I thought Monmouth would win by more then 7. After the 2005 season when Monmouth took it to my Knight, I really stopped like them but always respected them.
Also was surpised by the score at the Wartburg/ St. Norbert game thought it would be closer even if the knight have 18 returning starters  mostly on D. But I have to agree with WH, we at the Evil Empire are expecting very good thing out of this team.

Good luck to everyone in the MWC for the rest of the season

Not too bad of a week for the MWC.  The conference wins 5 out of 9 games against some pretty decent competition.  I would have loved to see the Ripon game.  Can anybody fill me in on how the game shook down?  Pretty lopsided game to watch in Waukesha.  North Park looked pretty horrible and Carroll came out with some great intensity recovering 2 fumbles within NP's first 3 touches of the game.  QB Casper had a big day in his 2nd career start.  Still a lot of questions to be answered when conference play starts.  I love the nonconference games but lets gear up for this weekend when the games start meaning something.

UWO/Ripon game looks like it was an instant classic with UWO up 14-0 until the Red Ducks put up a couple of late scores and tried to go for the win but the 2 pt conversion failed....

What's the word from the Green Knight side of things for those that went to the game???

The UWO/Ripon game was an unbelievable game. The first half was rather boring and dominated by the defenses. Oshkosh, which is young this year, had a hard time moving the ball on ripon as they only had 250 yards total. Thats including the extra drives they obtained due to several To's by ripon.. Not sure how strong UWO will be this year, but Ripon looked pretty good. They should have come out on top. game was 7-7 early in the fourth, UWO took advantage of a kickoff out of bounds, and scored with 2 minutes left. The player, who also is the kicker, had a great return on the next kickoff, and Ripon scored with 44 seconds left. They went for the two point confersion and missed it by inches. Great game by both teams. The interesting aspect is that UWO scored on fourth and goal, and the same call. Crowd thought he was down, certainly ripon did, and it went the way for OSH. Ripon looks to have a nice team this year

The Roop

Interesting decision for Ripon to go for two. I thought the old thinking of "go for the tie at home and the win on the road" went out the window when over-time was implemented.

The Monmouth offense looked offkey, a couple turnovers in their own territory, but they were able to take advantage of Loras turnovers better which is why the won.  The defense only allowed the Duhawks past the 50 once.  I think the Offense's performance may have been a first game kinda deal.  But you're right if you saw the game, especially from a Monmouth fan's standpoint it seemed like they should have won by more.

Good luck to Wartburg as well, wouldn't mind seeing a changing of the guard in the IIAC, would make the MWC look a little better too since they just easily beat one of our best two teams

First of all I need to say I'm sorry it wasn't Monmouth that beat the Knights it was Millikin, we played monmouth in 06&07. I just remember your running back that was a stud take one about 80yds before losing the ball 0n Wartburg's 10 yd line, Man did I feel for that kid. I hope we can take the championship this yr from you know who. They beat us last yr by 3 on a last second field goal. We should be good this yr with 18 returning starter and I believe 11 of them are on defense.  Good luck to Monmouth the rest of the season

Conference play opening up this weekend and a dead board  ???

Any predictions on the games on Saturday or possibilities for upsets?

Well I can only say I have been very busy. Both work and home. St. Norbert over Grinnell BIG! Repercussions from the Wartburg game. A lot of pent up hostility I am sure will be taken out on the Iowa team.
