FB: Midwest Conference

[scottie]

Hey Scottie-I had a hard time typing that last post-couldn't stop laughing after reading yours! Is it true that MC now has a designated tailgaiting area about a half mile from the field? If this is true I want a refund on my season tickets!

You are correct.  My reaction:  +  +  +  =

Midwest Conference releases the preseason polls:

Preseason Poll

1. Monmouth (7)
2. SNC (3)
3. Ripon
4. Beloit
5. Carroll
6. IC
7. Lake Forest
8. Knox
9. Grinnell
10. Larry-U

1st-3rd were pretty clear cut.  4th-6th is a toss up and could be mixed up.  Lake Forest and Knox are a dead lock for 7th and 8th place. And when Grinnell and Larry-U play it will have the same implications as Monmouth vs. SNC, just the exact opposite

The local paper published a 14-photo gallery of the new SNC stadium. I'm told all is on track for opening day.

Congrats Knights!  Very nice digs! 

[scottie]

It certainly looks like they took a lot of notes from Bobby Woll Memorial Stadium to make sure that they go it right.     Congrats, SNC.  Looks good!

Mysteriously omitted from the thumbnails was name of the stadium.....still trying to determine the true identity of SNCOLDAD.

They included a prayer labyrinth at the new stadium (pic 11)?  That's certainly novel.  Are they expecting to need it?

[SNCOLDAD]

Donald J Schneider StadiumAnd scottie, at SNC we make sure that we look around to take the best from all. I can't wait for the instant replay board to get working. But I do not think that is happening this year. Video yes, replay, not approved by refs I am sure.   

The drainage is incredible for both the field and track.

[SNCOLDAD]

There is a set amount that goes toward Norbertines. That labyrinth is part of that.

Isn't it outside the visitor's lockerroom?

Well, it's nice to finally make your acquaintance, Mr. Schneider!     I hear that Monmouth also added a new video scoreboard as the final step in the renovation.  Sounds like an automatic internship opportunity for a Communication major to figure out how to operate that thing!

At Saint John's the monks watch the games and smoke their cigars.  John Gagliardi says he used to tell his quarterbacks if they noticed an unusual amount of smoke coming from the monks' section they needed to start throwing the ball more.

scottie, maybe during track season. I hear the video display will show times almost immediately after each person crosses the finish line.

tmer, I LOVE IT!   "Quit Pounding The Ball. We are Getting Bored! "    I can see it now. They want to ruin out the clock but fire trucks are on the way.

[SNCOLDAD]

Wow. It sure got quiet around here. 

Well I have to report the first injury of the year.
scottie crapped his pants when the guys starting practicing shooting off that god awful cannon at Monmouth.



Meanwhile, back to Saturday chores.
