Tanney is a great player (he wouldn't be our preseason first team quarterback otherwise), but the Melberger has zero credibility since about 2001.

   Thanks for the backhand, Pat.  They must have liked him last year for all of the opposite reasons than why you like him this year.

What are karma points?  How do you get them?  How does Pat have so many, and Scottie so few?

[scottie]

b-thru:  If you like what somebody has posted, you can give them a Karma point on the left side to show them you approve.  If you don't like what they say, "smite" them.

I'd love to answer the second part of your question in depth, but I don't want the Scots to mysteriously slip out of the Top 25 before the season even begins!

WOW...i never even heard of the Melberger award till it was mentioned on this board. I had to do some digging (not very far though). and I found this article you wrote a few years ago on it. after reading it, i thought how pathetic it is (the award..not your article  )

Scottie is correct, but don't bother looking for those 'buttons' yet - a poster doesn't get 'applaud' or 'smite' privileges until they have 200 posts.

Who is the "they" behind the Melberger award? What's the national committee? It's just a bunch of people in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., handing out an award. It's no surprise that it went to a Wilkes running back twice and to two Hartwick quarterbacks who were never All-Americans, AFCA or D3football.com.

scottie, good to see your karma in the positive this year. 

[scottie]

Thanks sncoldad.  I think my Karma actually went up a few points during the off season while I was in hibernation.  Still waiting for your real identity to be revealed once I find out the naming gift behind the new stadium.

My education continues.  Just read about the Melberger droping the ball.  Good article Pat.  That trophy sat in the conference small room during our visit.  Now I know...

All this back and forth is really getting me pumped up for the season.  Football camp starts on 8/12 (my BD.  Don't feel compelled to get me anything).  I've been relating the dialog to Jamie.  He's getting jacked.  Is there a time when we start soliciting and posting predictions?

Good to have another perspective coming from the south besides those crazy Monmouth fans
You'll see that we'll be outnumbered pretty quick as soon as they all wake up

Redmen09 - You got another one of us crazy Monmouth fans woke up now! 

scottie, good to see your karma in the positive this year. 

SNCOLDAD - Give him time--I'm sure it'll drop back down soon enough.

scottie - Can you believe an IC poster has gotten this much talk generated on the board in just a few days?! 

Just kidding a little there, btnt...welcome to the boards and D3 Football.

Glad I could contribute.  As I am just getting started here, I have to ask, are we that rare?  I'm sure more will join soon enough.  Until then, I'll just keep fighting the good fight on my own.  I may not know my history, but I know what's coming.

Keep up the good fight.  With your first post, I forgot which board I was on and thought you were a Millikin (Big Blue) poster - generally the missing link in the CCIW!

Hah -- when he registered I thought he was an Eau Claire (Blugolds) fan.

In the coming years, there'll be no mistaking which blue is true!  Blueboy Nation will rise up and claim what's yours!  Remember where you heard it! I am but the point of the spear...

Morning is MY time, but I think I may have had too much caffiene...
