Congrads on the Scots on another great win.  The defense for Monmouth is the best i've seen since the 2001 Monmouth team.  They are all over the QB and the linbacking core are fast and strong.  Justin Zigler is a heck of a player and very well could be the Defensive Player of the Year.

This week is tough, the Pioneers of Carroll are starting a program and win over the Scots would prove that to the rest of the conference.  If the Scots do not prepare and execute, they will lose to Carroll.  Do i see that happening?  I hope not.  I hate Carroll only because in 2000.  We lost 42-7, it was snowing, and our bus broke down and we hung out in Waukesh, WI till 4 in the morning.  GO get em Scots.  The folks will be at the game.  Beat the Pioneers!

Papa, i remember that game, it was terrible all aspects of it, i think my toes are still a bit frostbitten.

Great job Scots, keep it up, leave no doubt!  If you dominate, it will come (the accolades and recognition and respect)!!

MC football in 05 whether you like it or not!!

Wow,  must have been scary for you Monmouth folks being in the big city so late at night 

Sorry, said in fun but it was just too good to resist.

[Maverick]

Wow, what a great weekend!  It was good to see all you Scots alumni back for homecoming.  Hope to get another turnout like that in a couple weeks for the Turkey Bowl (even though it's in Galesburg this year).

ICBlue - Thanks for showing MC some love in your last post.  It's always nice to see someone outside of the Scots Nation saying some kind words.

Papa, Old Fighting Scot - Yeah that was a terrible game at Carroll back in the 2000 season.  It was no fun getting drilled in the cold that day by the Pioneers and the broken down bus made it even worse.

Dolph - It's all good.  Not so much scary being there that late, more on the boring side just hanging out in Carroll's fieldhouse for so long that evening.

Throwing the dog a bone

[ScoutTeamHero]

With 2 or 3 weeks left in the season, depending on which team you cheer for, this is what I see happening.

Monmouth will win out and move on to the playoffs.  They have the offensive and defensive players of the year in conf.  Tanney is a lock and they should give it to Zigler.  Coach Bell could also repeat as coach of the year. 

St. Norbert will win out, and I don't know, but it would have been interesting if they would have played Monmouth later in the season.  They haven' played a close game since MC, but thats the way it goes.  No playoffs

Ripon should end up 7-3 but that is yet to be seen.  But with BC and Knox both on the road, and only Macalester at home they could trip up.

Carroll will not shock MC in Monmouth.  They end up 6-4 and are getting better. 

Lake Forest is in danger of having a losing season at 4-6 unless they somehow find a way to win in Appleton.  There is no possible way for them to hold SNC under 3 scores which is what they have to do in order to win, especially without the starting middle backer.  Wheels are off

IC, Beloit, Knox, and Lawrence are all middle of the road. 

Grinnell has already given up will not show up to play any more games this season.  Thank god that the worst team in D3 is on your schedule or else 0-10.

Congrats to the Scots for another impressive win.  Sorry I could not see it in person, but I will be at the Knox game.  Good luck vs. Carroll!

Maverick and Silk:  Good to see you at the Bijou.  My ears have stopped ringing and I'm starting to get my voice back.

Carrol will BEAT MC this weekend!!!

If I was a gambling man, I'd say 31-30.  A tight one.

Anyone from Carroll agree, other than LU's own Schultz?

[ccfan69]

Carroll will Win this weekend.  They have started to get that home field advantage and have the thought of not losing at home.  Now if they could just use that same thinking on the road they would have been in good shape this year.  GO Pioneers. 

This would be a big win for me since half of my family is from Monmouth!!!!!!!

Look for Fletcher to have a big game as it is his last one at Home

[Hawk Sighting]

  Yes, that would be a great thing to have happen, but I am kind of hoping to see MC go through with the big 0 this season.  They have been working hard in the past years, and deserve this season.  Any other team but Norberts, has my vote to be #1 in the conference.  
 Early, what are you up to on Nov. 5th?  I will be heading to good ole shingles, to watch the game, my first one of the season, do you think you can make it?
 And to Cocco, since he is reading this site also, good luck this weekend against Cornell.  I remember when i was really young, the Cornell VS.  Coe game was always a huge game.  Now with Cornell not being as touch as they used to be I dont think its as big of a deal.  I will however be at the game and cheering on Coe, first Coe Vs. Cornell game that I have been to since 1993.  
 Good Luck to all this weekend!!  

[Early]

Hawk, I'm afraid I will not be able to make the Nov. 5th game.  I think that is against Macalester College.  I really don't even want to see that game.  That really is kinda like playing against a high school team.  Granted Macalester has very hard educational requirements, but we played them 2 years ago, and they were playing iron man football. 

When was the last time RC has beaten Norbs?  Has it really been like 6 years?  And with 2 weeks to prepare for THe Nights to roll in and get creamed.

[meachscribe]

Do I hear a fire Ernst cry???

[Early]

No that was NOT a fire Ernst cry.  I wouldn't do that.  I was literally just wondering when the last time we Red Hawks beat St. Norbert.  And that I was saying that I was hoping the hawks would have been more prepared for what the Nights were gonna do having 2 weeks to prepare.

Stop reading in between my lines Greg!!!

SNC owns a 16-9 lead in the series, which dates to 1979. The Green Knights have won the last six games in the series, all under coach Jim Purtill, by an average score of 43-19. Before that, Ripon had won the previous four meetings by a total of 14 points.
