FB: Midwest Conference

[Snydz822121]

I don't know what the fuss is about anyways.  Me and my grandma could be ranked #1 right now and then on sunday be ranked 7th.  nothing matters until sunday when the seeds come out for real!!  I would like to see my fellow Scotsmen seeded high, but the MWC doesn't get any respect...maybe the conference champ wasn't the best team in years past, but this year it is.  I am not saying that Monmouth should get anything higher than a 5, but shouldn't a team that is undefeated be higher than a team with a loss???

For instance, the Fighting Illini, who no one thought would be good this past basketball season, was ranked #1 in the nation for most of the year without a loss, eventhough UNC proved that they were #1 in the end.

Congratulations to Coach DeGeorge:

He brought the BC program up from nearly folding to one of the finest in the MWC in the 90s. Good luck in your final game coach. Send him out a winner.

"Which basketball rankings? I saw the Heels were picked to finish ninth in the ACC."  G. Pawlick

Hey, Einstein!  - Try recognizing sarcasm when you see it.  My point, which you ALL should have inferred, was that North Carolina and Kansas (two traditional powerhouses) are both UN-ranked right now.

That Monmouth was unable to win the conference during the impressive run of SNC is their own problem.  Since the MWC champs couldn't do much with their title in playoffs over that same period is, I guess, the MWC's (and now the Scots') problem.

I can't wait til the pairings come out and the nonsense ends...

Yeah, Midwest Conference
ONE for the great Greg Pawlik
Greg Pawlik for ONE

I agree.  Congrats to Coach DeGeorge on a great career.  He deserves to be sent out a winner.

Snydz - you and your grandma wouldn't be ranked #1 in anything...except maybe a potato sack race at a church potluck.

The problem is your former coach made you duds feel like part of this season's success.

Why, becuase you cheer loud, or drink a lot on Friday night and show up early for the game Saturday? Or, becuase you're on an Internet chat board discussing the finer points?

You have as much to do with the Skirts finally winning as I do for Nubs winning before I was there or after I left.

This whole 12th man thing is out of hand. It's not that you cheer for your team - no one can deny you that. But, you drool and loathe over a team you had nothing to do with.

I don't think this can get thrown in my face, either. You guys were perennial losers in the big game.
In a lot of eyes, you deserve no credit or adoration for losing the big game year after year. Yet, one would swear you've never lost a game with the tone you take day after day.

Point and case: I'm Einstein. OK. Maybe you just write like crap.

When you cheer these kids. Be proud you went there. Don't take the credit.

Greg:  What was the perennial big game?

Greg: What was the perennial big game?

You're going to argue that now that you're "On Top". When did you play. Did I kick your ass too?

I've said my peace, which will make you all happy. 

[McAlum77]

"When did you play. Did I kick your ass too?"

Strong words from someone who thinks former players have "nothing to do with" their program's present success.

So apparently, you had "everything" to do with SNC beating MC in the past and required no help from any teammate?

Posts like that make OUR SCOTS' season much sweeter.

[Snydz822121]

Is there a MADD DOGG in the house???  I think so, and I think he is going to go crazy on someone in sec.

It is hard for me to read this crap about 1 person, not a team, but 1 person having everything to do with the success of a team.

Madd Dogg---havent heard from you in a while...have you finished the radio stuff???

Actually, I meant personally (one on one if you're from Illinois), not as a team. Sorry Einstein, as you duds would say.

Greg, I'm going to be out of the office tomorrow.  So you'll have to thump your chest on your own.   

Looking forward to the post-season news.

Monmouth Fight Scots
Not undefeated for life
But so far this year

Peace, I'm outta here!

Howdy Scots Nation!

I'll tell you what.  Doesn't it feel great to be atop the Midwest Conference? Here's hoping for it to be a feeling that lasts a long time.  I'll tell you what, it is nice to drink on Fridays and show up early on Saturdays then spend the day watching your former team win all 10 of its games..... 
Others get to drink on Fridays and show up early on Saturdays and see their team win, only 8 games though.  Now, on to the finer points.....
How is this Anthony Goranson?  I coach with a guy that said he introduced him to Monmouth and he says the kid is for real? Is it the truth? From his stats it seems he gets the job done. Look forward to seeing him play.
Hopefully I'll see you all soon Rooster, Maverick, Snydz, Grandpa, Papa, and the rest of the Scots Nation!

All I have to say to your quote is this:  there is only one feeling that is good this year and it is for only one team, the Monmouth College Fighting Scots!  This feeling will last for a long and no one can take that away from the boyz!!

FCB - It is always a pleasure seeing my fellow teammates and it is going to be especially nice to them all at the playoff game!!!  Can't wait to pre-game it out of the Roush, if I still have it, before the game!!!

[Maverick]

Mav, in all your projections, you have the Skirts no further down then No. 5. That's pretty generous considering your playoff history (which is none).

Whether you're a 5, 6, 7, or 8, I suppose it doesn't matter, but I found your outlook lofty.

Greg - It's Scots, not Skirts...but if you want to go around telling people that the team you played for isn't in the playoffs this season because they lost to the Skirts, go right ahead.  In case you didn't catch this one either, that was some more of that sarcasm stuff that went right over your head in a previous post.  

Anyhow, back to my seeding predictions.  It may be somewhat lofty considering Monmouth's playoff history (none, can't argue that fact), but the reason I placed the Scots as the number 5 seed is because they're a conference champion and deserve to be placed ahead of the 1-loss Pool C qualifiers but also should be put behind the other West region conference champions.  Until someone from the MWC wins a couple games in the playoffs (hopefully it'll be Monmouth this year), that's where an undefeated MWC champion should be seeded for the playoffs--behind other undefeated conference champions but in front of 1-loss Pool C qualifiers. 

Winning a couple playoff games would do wonders for future MWC playoff teams; just look at Occidental--they won 2 playoff games last season (one home game, one road game), are now ranked in the top 10 of the nation in each poll that I've seen, and in the very next year they are looking at getting another home playoff game in the first round.  All that from a team in a conference (SCIAC) that wasn't looked very highly upon in the past.  As I said before, hopefully Monmouth can do some damage in the playoffs this year, change outsiders' opinions of the MWC, and make the future brighter for MWC champs to come just like Occidental has done for the SCIAC.
