Looks like I have to change my airplane banner.....

A R E  Y O U  R E A D Y  F O R  S O M E  ( K I L T S  A N D ) B A G P I P E S ? ! ? ! ?        (and no commas)                            , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Hey, you can't hold us down.  Go Blue!

I've got plane banner envy. I wish i could trade my extraordinary use of commas for your technical ability. I'd also like to put a picture and tag line with my posts. I guess life is just like that. Like I wish I was rich instead of so handsome and charming. Damn my misfortune!

hello
If you want a banner to move.  You type [ move ]insert your message here[ /move ]

Leave the spaces out.  I just did that so it wouldn't move.

It's really simple

[SNCOLDAD]

badgerhawk, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!

Isn't it bad enough having scottie do hie un-readable moving banners? Now you are training blu!!!

   

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

[Kilts and Bagpipes]

Hey...its Thursday...lets start picking!!!!

Monmouth  42 Grinnell  6------------- Monmouth, IL 1:00:00 PM
Ripon 28  Lake Forest  7 --------------Ripon, Wis. 1:00:00 PM
Lawrence 21  Knox 14  -----------------Appleton, WI 1:00:00 PM
Beloit  7 St. Norbert  42---------------- Beloit, WI 1:00 p.m.
Carroll 30  Illinois College  28 ---------Waukesha, WI 1:00:00 PM

I think that Carroll/IC is the game of the week, followed closely by Larry and Knox.  I just don't think Larry/Knox will be the same quality football as Carroll/IC.  Monmouth and St. Norbert win big.  Ripon eats too much time off the clock or they probably win big too.

[KnoxOnTheRise]

Monmouth  49 Grinnell  14 Grinnell actually puts 14 up on Monmouth
Ripon 35  Lake Forest  3 Ripon tears Lake Forest Apart
Lawrence 14  Knox 35   Knox actually puts 2 halves of football together
Beloit  21 St. Norbert  42 SNC soundly defeats Beloit
Carroll 35  Illinois College  32 Carrol breaks IC's heart

[Kilts and Bagpipes]

KnoxontheRise...it would be nice to see knox get an early one under their belt.  Make things more interesting in the conference if we had a knox or lawrence pick up their pace a little.  I just don't think that they can win that big against anyone.  They may win, but not by much.

[Redmen09]

Monmouth 45 vs. Grinnell 10
Ripon 31 vs. Lake Forest 7
Lawrence 20.5 vs. Knox 20
Beloit 10 vs. SNC 38

Game of the Week:
Carroll 35  vs. IC 34

[badgerwarhawk]

Sorry SNCOLDAD, it was still early and I wasn't thinking.

I'm not in your pickem but just for the hell of it I'm going to go out on a limb....

ILLINOIS COLLEGE 28 vs. Carroll UNIVERSITY 21

Lawrence needs to win Saturday, its at home, and it might be their only chance this year.

Wake me up when Basketball starts......

So i graduated from IC many years ago. I still keep up with my boys i was never much of a football player. Great class GC brought in. I'm excited for years to come. I now live in Springfield Missouri. I recently decided to attend one of Mo State practices and guess who was on the field. IC rb from last year Demetrius Bayless. Looks like Mo State has worked him well because he was definitely a power runner last year with the blueboys but now he has some quickness and speed. i was wondering where the kid had went only being a frosh last year. I'm pretty sure he has to sit out next this year for transfer procedures. It saddens me to see him leave IC but at the same time he looks like a good fit for Mo State. Wish him the best of luck.

What a day for the Blueboys!  Their board support doubled in one day!  Welcome Lifer!  Keep the cards and letters coming!  Perhaps we'll get a chance to meet at an upcoming game.  I appreciated your reference to the improvements in the recruiting classes.  With my limited football knowledge, my assessment was only based on just watching them move in to their dorms. 

As my history with the Blueboys only dates back to August 12th, I know nothing of the story of this RB.  Why'd he leave IC?  Just curious! Regardless, it's great that things are working out for him.

ILLINOIS COLLEGE 28 vs. Carroll UNIVERSITY 21

Is it my birthday?  First, I find another IC poster.  And now, the discovery of intelligent life on this board!   I am a little disappointed that our defense gives up 21 in your scenario, but a win's a win!  Hey, and thanks for the banner instruction.  You're on the +K IOU list, but it ain't like you need 'em...  Best of luck to your boys!

[blu thru n thru]

IC 42, Carroll 24 (IC can score.  Defense better than shown vs. Beloit)
Monmouth 38, Grinnell 17 (MC has something to prove, but may not be last year's Scots)
Ripon 28, Lake Forest 7 (Not exactly a tough pick.  LF will get in the endzone.  May be late in the game.)
Lawrence 21, Knox 14 (Knox is on the rise.  They just ain't there yet.)
SNC 21, Beloit 10 (Setting up the undefeated match up between IC & SNC)


Blueboy Nation is on the rise! You just gotta get used to the idea!
