FB: Midwest Conference

[oldnuthin]

A record of 34-11 (with a 5-4 record the first year in 2005 ) running it works for me atleast 

Great offense to be sure, the run and shoot, Mouse Davis' invention, is an offshoot of this quality offense. My 11 year old son is facing it this weekend and his coach called it, "that gay double wing".  I had to explain to him how wrong his coach was.

Wow! I think its good that the season is about to start so we can really have something to talk about. First of all my deepest and sincerest apologies to BoBo for calling him Bo Blow about (his now obvious to me serious contention) that there is a cannon that is louder than Monmouth's. I guess I will have to ask someone from Wesley. It was just a feeble attempt at a little humor as was my response that ours was still bigger.  Now can whoever took my two Karma points please give me them back. I also just want to clarify for the record that I am actually in different to Monmouth's cannon.  I was just trying to rib SNCDAD back for him referring to plaid skirts and the cannon. I think he got the barb, but Blu obviously was too upset about my name calling to finish reading the post to get the jab I took at IC.  My feelings are really hurt Blu because I am one who has has welcomed you with open arms here, even making a bet with you that I know I have no realistic chance winning JUST so I can have the privilege of tailgaiting with you. Finally Mr. Warthog I will graciously accept your offer to visit your tailgating section tomorrow before the game.  Where will u be?

A noticeable chill in the air this morning signals the arrival of football season. Unfortunately the Bucs play under the lights so I will miss that one. Could this be the Carroll-North Park game of this year ? ? ? I hope not or Beloit may be in for a long season.

[Redmen09]

Picks for Week 1:

Ripon over WLC
Lakeland over Carroll
Grinnell over Macalester
Concordia (Ill) over Lake Forest
IC over Millikin
St. Thomas over SNC
St. Scholastica over Larry U
Beloit over Chicago
Washington (MO) over Knox
Monmouth over Wartburg

MWC going 5-5 in the opening weekend.  Not sure if my picks will all be right, but I think we'll still go 5-5 as a conference

I guess everyone has different versions of "working"...

Really?  I guess you should make the trip to the IC vs. RC game this year?  Check out and see how well IC "stops" the Option (I promise to sit with you and explain where the ball actually is )..  I guess :working" doesn't include having one of the top offenceses in the conference for the last 6 years?!  Maybe we should "change it" so that we can partcipate at IC, Knox, LU, level.  I mean if the top of the conference would "change" then IC might have a change..  I now see what BLU has planned...  Genious!   

This is going to be my favorite year yet on this board.  "You're my BOY, BLU" (Great Movie)

Safe Travels to all and good luck to the MWC tomorrow.

I guess :working" also doesnt include having spell check   

but thats probably coming with the invention of sarcastic fonts...

Pat,

If you are making the trip over to De Pere, plan a dinner stop at Victoria's in Appleton and check out Lawrence's football stadium, the Banta Bowl.  I haven't been there in a few years and the last time I was there it was showing its age, but it is an awesome and unique venue.

It replaced Loras' Rock Bowl as my favorite D3 football venue after my first trip there.

There is a high school game at the Banta Bowl Friday night, so it would be an opportunity!

Silly Appleton West....

When I was at LU I think that was the only team that lost more games in the Banta Bowl then Lawrence did.....

[larry_u]

All I have to say about Lawrence football is that there is no better mantra then the old classic used upon the Vikings opponents:

"That's alright, that's Ok, you're gonna work for us some day!"

Better Dead Than Red!
