FB: Midwest Conference

[scottie]

DutchHawk, Thank you for that vote of confidence that we will get in. Like I said before, all we can do is wait until Sunday.  

snCOLDad: Just to be safe, I'd put a hold on 11/28 (or 12/5) for a return trip to Monmouth.

Word out of Galesburg...Gibbons resigns...AD Eisele names self coach.  Gibbons moves to D Coordinator...

I remember playing against Eisele. He is a good man. I can't wish him too much luck though being a Siwash(sorry I meant Prairie Fire). Just kidding. Would be nice to see Knox bring it up some though.

Bball coach Robbie P. was interviewed during the second half of the Turkey Bowl webcast and had a lot of good insight into the game.  It would be QUITE a stretch for him to get involved during football season, but I wonder if he could help their team out a little.  Might add a new wrinkle or two to their "offensive attack." 

[SNCOLDAD]

Scottie, you can be sure that wouled be a welcome rematch!

I predict that Lawrence will capture all three Midwest Conference Performers of the Week awards.  Good luck boys, get after 'em!

Haha with the way things are falling I think you guys stand a chance, what percent Im not sure but good luck! Hopefully the guys are keeping after it this week...I know the Dutch will be!

Hmmmmmmmmm. I might go whether SNC is playing or not LOL.

You'd probably have more fun if they don't!!

"The living, though, is easy for No. 8 Monmouth (10-0), with a perfect record and resting for the playoffs. It's still uncertain if the Fighting Scots will get a home game but they can make a strong argument for one, including its playoff success last year. Monmouth beat Aurora 42-13 in the first round and was edged out by Wartburg 30-28 in the second round in 2008."

Kudos to Clyde for adding the "g" this week.     For reference in the upcoming weeks, SNC's mascot begins with a "k". 

By the way, the future Monmouth non-conference season opener is looking fantastic as IWU is climbing up the rankings.  MWC champ vs. CCIW champ has a nice ring to it.   

[Mr. Ypsi]

scottie,

And you certainly picked the right year to start the competition - IWU will graduate virtually all their starters this spring!

Next year IWU will be almost completely different than this year, but you can still tout them as CCIW champs!

[scottie]

Champions just re-load, right??   

[Mr. Ypsi]

Champions just re-load, right??   

From your fingers to God's ears!

Once upon a time that was true, but we've had some pretty miserable seasons the last decade or so.  I'm not throwing in the towel, but there are gonna be a LOT of shoes to fill next year!

I don't know, Texas Lutheran is due. Go Bulldogs.............................

Chances are that SNC is in and goes to UW-W in the first round. I've never been there for a football game so I can't tell you what the tailgating opportunities are. If the NCAA sees it my way I'll make every effort to be there.

...and you call yourself a knowledgeable football fan???     

[The Roop]

Stop ducking Beloit and schedule them. Then I'll go to UW-W for a football game   

Although I'd prefer they played Point as it's only 30 minutes away.

[SNCOLDAD]

scottie, before you hype IWU too much for next year, take a look at SNC's opening game this year and the expectations that had for us in SOS. 

[scottie]

Gotcha, sncoldad.  Since the KC football program had just had it's obligatory three posts for the year, I thought I would change the subject.
