FB: Midwest Conference

[Scots4]

50-17...minute to go in the first half.

[The Roop]

SNC 42 BC 21

SNC was 23ppg better than Beloit vs. common opponents so according to those stats the score was about right. Which I will take as a positive as BC was overwhelmed against this team last season.

Unfortunately Beloit never fell behind by 35 so the come back prophesy could not be realized.

78-17 Monmouth over IC don't know anything about this gamebesides the score but my guess is that's a school record for pts in a game

btw.....MC wins by this score over a team that beat Knox 62-27.........bring on the turkey bowl, is 100 pts a possibility?

[MWCalum]

Grinnell vs. Ripon: If Ripon shows up and doesnt play down to Grinnell's level its a 50-7 game..


it was a rough week so im gona say this is one of the highlights.. called it perfectly! 

MC scoring 78? gosh thats a lot of points.. did tanney stay in a lil extra time? what happened..

[SNCOLDAD]

Just a quick message. Went to the Beloit game. Roop, great meeting you. I really wanted to see that kicker try a long field goal. But he definitely has a leg. I watched him during pre-game. You have to make it over to SNC sometime. Let me know if you can.

Have not had much of a chance to see scores. Sounds like Monmouth should be accused at running up the score. Isn't that what was said about St. Norbert in a lot of games. They should have no issues with Knox. Congrats on MWC title.

[scottie]

I think MC ran up the score in order to avenge the blowout IC put on Knox....Nah!   

Some lines in the box score didn't look too unbalanced, and IC even had the ball almost ten minutes longer than the Scots.  Zero punts = many scores, however.

Scottie mentioned about two weeks ago that the Scots could put up triple digits against the P-fire.  Watch out next week....

BTW, is a 61 point win enough to finally get the Scots into the sacred D3 poll?

[The Roop]

Thanks SNCOLDAD, I enjoyed meeting you as well. I especially appreciated the fact that you did not introduce me as The Roop or the usual media circus would have ensued. Had you done so I'd still be there signing autographs.

Not that it effected the outcome in any way but the oafs were a bit flag happy at Strong Stadium. More often than not I didn't see any need for it.

Anyway...................... scottie is happy and that's all that matters. Mt. Monmouth runs it up again. LOL.

[The Roop]

Before I forget. Yes, The Roop will travel to De Pere next season for "Spatula Bowl II"

[scottie]

LOL, The Roop!     How about a trip down to Monmouth, if they host?  You bring the venison, I'll bring the grill.

Just a post to note that I haven't completely gone into hiding.  Ouch!  Just an awful season for LU.  I really thought the team was on an upswing after the past few years. 
Did I expect a conference championships and an appearance in the Top 25? No.
I did expect a .500 season and I'm definitely surprised by LU's return to their unwanted role as conference doormat.  If I look really hard for a silver lining, I do see that LU's team is relatively young (only 8 seniors on the roster) so it's possible that the team could dramatically improve in the next few years.  Still, it's been a tough year to watch.

Anyway, congratulations to Monmouth.  Bring the MWC some respectability by winning at least 2 games in the playoffs!

[The Roop]

They would need to host a semi-final game scottie as I typically don't go hunting until late bow season. So win a few and we'll talk about it.

How the West Region fared:

1. Willamette - off week
2. Occidental - won against Cal Lutheran
3. Monmouth - beat Illinois College
4. Stevens Point - won against Oshkosh
5. WhiteWater - beat Eau Claire for the 2nd time
6. Cal Lutheran - lost to Occidental
7. Redlands - beat Pamona
8. Northwestern - breat Crown
9. Concordia Moorehead - lost to St. Olaf
10. St. Johns - off week

I would expect CM to drop out and maybe Cal Lutheran drops out too.  This might make room for Wartburg and maybe a different MIAC team like Carleton or something.

Either way it doesn't mean much for the Scots.  Occidental won't lose again, and Willamette doesn't look like they will either though looking at schedules Menlo might test them in the last game but I don't know much about that conference.

Can't complain with #3 in the region.

[The Roop]

It doesn't hurt Monmouth either. Wartburg should win the IIAC and get the automatic bid regardless of ranking. I can't see the NCAA sending an undefeated Mt. Monmouth there. I think it looks good for the Scots to host a first round game.

[The Roop]

Before scottie gets too excited about Mt. Monmouth.................

Huntingdon 76 Principia 0

[Scots4]

My flag football team has more talent on the defensive side of the ball than Illinois College does.
