FB: Midwest Conference

[FloridaScot]

Hello Scot fans,
Hows it going in the great mid west? Is it cold yet? It's starting to get chilly down here today I turned my A\C off. Papa and Westerhausen its good to see ya around. Hearing you guys talk trash reminds me of my sophmore season. I would like to say that I will see yall at the Knox game but I dont think I'll be able to afford the trip (stupid wedding). For all of  you keeping track at home yes the Mitchell Mustangs were victorious last week with a over time win 28-21 against the 5-1 hudson Cobras. The was channel 47 televised game of the week. Which made the win even bigger. Were fighting for 5-5 this season.
Maverick hows the great metropolis that is Monmouth doing? It still smells I'm sure.
Maybe I'll start charging my students for better grades to raise money to fly up.
Man I've gotta burnin case of PMS.
Rooster out.

Looks like everything went as expected this weekend...

SNC rolls 48-28   no need for offense when the D can score like that in a game

MC   41-13   standard win this season

IC    24-8    no offense = no forester win

Knox  57-31  the worst scoring team puts up 57 on a team that won't win another game all season

"I have something to say.  I hope we get you in the first round of the playoffs so we can beat you up like we did when we owned the MWC.  Your conference is weak.  Learn how to recruit."

Cornell is a fine and unique college and it was a real loss to the MWC when they moved on.

I assume that by "learn how to recruit" you would encourage others to follow the example set by that school in Cedar Rapids where all players who can get at least 2/3 of the letters in the schools name correct are admitted?

[Hawk Sighting]

I love it when people like Dolph come on here and talk and try to sound like they have any idea on other schools.  Cornell should never have left the MWC, when they left they left at a time when they were dominant, and yes Coe should have left also and they left for the same reasons as Cornell, because they wanted to be in a more local conference.  Well Cornell should have stayed in the MWC, they are not doing very well in the IAAC and if they were back in the MWC could start competing.  You could say that the IAAC is a "stronger" conference, but I will tell you Dolph that out of the schools you talked about it's, harder to get into Coe then it is to get into most of the MWC schools and Cornell.  So please before you write again please do some homework.

Thanks!!!

[Hawk Sighting]

Dolph, I apologize, that last message that i posted was not supposed to be completely directed at you, yes some was, but also some was to go to the coccoforcoehawks guy.  The whole "Learn how to Recruite" comment is probably one of the dumbest things that i have seen on this site in the last 4 years.  Coocc for a person that has no idea on what else is going on in this conference and the recruiting rules that follows the MWC you sure talk a lot.  I read your posts on the IAAC and some of the things you say are pretty embarrising.  I however I am a Coe College fan, and cheer them on every saturday along with the Ripon Redhawks, but please understand the process before talking. 
     The IAAC has off campus recruiting, and the MWC does not, this right here will hurt any school that can not go and talk with a player after a game.  What school would you choose if it came down to two and one can come and talk with you off campus or you have to travel to go talk to the coach in person.

Congrats to the Scots on another impressive win.  Keep up the intensity for what should be a big homecoming crowd.  Up 12 votes in the "others receiving" portion of the Top 25.

Well it seems like the mighty cohawks have something to say about the MWC, or maybe just me.  I am looking forward to the Mighty Scots playing in the playoffs against who ever.  If that happens to be Coe college, than so be it.  Our conference is not picked to do well, any time.  But I smell the stench in the air that Coe college puts out and it smells like ...well I'll just let everyone put thier own word their. 
6-0 here we go.  The oldies will be at homecoming this weekend, and I am looking forward to Sharon's and to the Bijou for some late night celebrating.  Go Scots, BEAT THE BLUE BOYS.

[ICBlue]

As a IC fan the Scots should have no problem with the Blueboys.  Last year's  successful QB (Jennings) is now out for the year with a seperated shoulder and a freshman with start.  The O-Line just lost one of it's best players (Juelich) for the rest of the year due to injury.  The defense has also just lost a couple of starters. 

All of this on a team that at the begining of the year, if lucky, could have been 3rd or 4th in the conference.  All of this adds up to the Scots reserves getting a lot of PT in the second half.  Just take it easy on the fellow Illinois conference foe.... I guess there is allways women's golf to root for....

That is my point when I said learn how to recruit, who is keeping you from off campus recruiting, the NCAA or your own Athletic Directors.  Also for someone as informed as you get it right.  It's IIAC

[Dolph Stanley]

As I get older, my memory grows dim.  How did the champions of the mighty IIAC make out against the MWC champions in the 03 playoffs?

Imagine what the score might have been if SNC had been able to recruit off campus

Um Uh Dolph,
SNC squeeked out an overtime win against the second place team in the IIAC in the 2003 playoffs, imagine if you got your facts right.

[fbfan34]

wow snc scores 4 defensive TD's..impressive..and triner gets 2 in 18 seconds..sounds like a nominee for national POW..but i wouldn't vote for him after his unsportsmanlike after the first TD..selfish player..and lucky it seems

[meachscribe]

34, selfish or excited? Maybe a bit much with the dunk, but can you blame a kid. He didn't wave his rod or anything.
Do you have a vote for National POW?  How can I apply for such a position?

Now that Monmouth or whoever else owns this board, it's pretty lame.  Years of losing have made you fellas boring and unimaginative.

Pissing in the wind with Coe or Cornell is old news.

[scottie]

"Now that Monmouth or whoever else owns this board, it's pretty lame.  Years of losing have made you fellas boring and unimaginative."

Quick & imaginative stat of the day:  Since starting out the 2002 season 0-5, the Scots are 29-3.

Whats with all of the hostility.  If its not obvious to everyone that Monmouth, St. Norbert and seemingly Carrol (this year and LFC most other years) could compete with any of the so-called top conferences in the midwest, then just let the ignorant dogs lie.  Carrol lost by three to a carthage team that has been ranked in the top 25 all year.  St. norbert though they got waxed has only done what everyone else has done when facing whitewater this year.  And Monmouth, well running of 15 (or is it 16) straight should say something.  People keep talking about (teams of the MWC) our playoff success.  Last year St. Norbert lost to platteville, who turned around and lost to a pretty gal darn team.  St. norbert lost to the eventual national champion the year before that.  you guys act like our playoff teams lose to scrubs.  Usually the MWC representative has to play a beast in the first round and maybe just maybe that may be the reason why we have had a tough time of it.  

Stop Hatin the MWC and start respecting the only team in country not to get into playoffs with a 9-1 record.  MC is not some flash in the pan.  We would be in the top 3 in any conference in the Midwest.  Period!!
