People shouldn't chalk 1 up in the W column for monmouth until the games over.  The pios (as opposed to the grinnell neers) have a solid D, and can run and pass the ball, if Carroll gets all three teams going they are a tough team to beat.

[scottie]

I don't think the recent posts have been chalking up a MC win over Carroll, just predicting playoff possibilities.  At this point, it seems as if Monmouth has essentially clinched a playoff birth.  If Monmouth lost at Carroll, they still hold the tie-breker with SNC.  And if Monmouth DID lose to Carroll, I would not want to be wearing a purple & gold uniform the following Saturday.

UW-LAX at No. 24 at 3-3 in your latest d3 poll.  What a joke.

A loss is a loss, so I thought.  Who's stuffing the ballots? 

Definitely not true. A loss to Division I-AA South Dakota, for example, is not a loss at all, frankly, for the voters' purposes.

It's hard to drop from #11 all the way out of the poll, especially since neither loss is a bad loss. One of the losses is to the #2 team in the country.

CCPIO,

Ok, "if" CC is able to have all aspects of their team clicking on saturday they "could" give MC "some" problems... Ill give you that.

But.....

When MC comes out firing and hitting on all cylinders they will weather any early initial hyped up storm from CC and then MC will win by at least three touchdowns.  CC has shown some signs of being a decent opponent, and it may take the Scotties a little bit of time to warm up.  But when that snowball gets rolling it will be like every other game this year.

THIS reminds me of HIGH school ball.  You're GOING to lose.  No QUESTION about it.  TRUST me.

[meachscribe]

OFS, maybe I spoke too soon. While enjoying my day at work, I looked on the West playoffs slug.  You're working overtime for SNC and the MWC. 

Thanks ---------- I think.

BOLD statement from Mr. Pawlik.

[blueboy]

Mr. Coleman...your post is accurate about UW-LaX but if you want to talk about quality loses, look at SNC.  A loss to UW-Whitewater as well as Monmouth....both who happen to be undefeated teams.  The WIAC is a great conference but come on, it's easy to kick SNC out of the rankings for you guys but they still only have 2 loses???  If UW-Lax still has respect after losing to the #2 team in the nation, what about SNC??

[ECGolds04]

I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on who to watch for when at the Carrol vs. Monmouth game. I live about 5 minutes from the stadium and was thinking of going to the game.

[Old Fighting Scot]

The MC offense and the MC defense......

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

Look for the Tanney to Haffner connection on O, as well as check out Dante Daniels, he is FAST!!

Next Look for Zigler on D, he is a beast and bast is a shutdown corner if there is such a thing anymore (in regards to D3 football and the MWC).  The D-line is also very very talented and from what i understand they go about 6 or 7 deep.

So pretty much look for MC to dominate

[repete]

Sure, SNC and LAX each lost to Whitewater. But let's be realistic: Only the UWW-LX contest was a game. SNC was kicked up and down the field by WW, while LAX gave WW everything it could handle.

Plus the turd on SNC's schedule is a loss to MC.

You've got to be kidding:
UW-Whitewater 45, St. Norbert 7
UW-Whitewater 29, UW-La Crosse 23

[LFCdad]

Pat you've got to be the one thats kidding .Carroll lost at Carthage 14-10 and lost  to Norberts 48-28 .Therefor  Norberts would beat Carthage by two scores.Talk about high school thinking.Come on Pat you better have something better than that!!

[The Roop]

Exerpts from a brief conversation while The Roop was having dinner in downtown Beloit tonight.

Hey Coach, it's Ripon tomorrow. Run up the score.

I hope so.

Then mutual pats on the back were exchanged.
