Rome.............................. or anyone else for that matter.

Do you know why Baratti and Christensen didn't go to the DIII All Star game ?? My guess is that it had a lot to do with it being the week before finals but I really don't know. The MWC was represented in the form of Matt Shepherd from Monmouth.

IDK...doesn't seem like the MWC/Beloit is doing a very good job of promotion of their players if these players aren't going....
Although it wouldn't shock me if the MWC was against it....

We all know Monmouth football players don't have to go to class so maybe it's just a Beloit thing.

Jeez, I compliment you over on the basketball board for the Roop-deer song and then you throw me (and the rest of the Scots) under the bus like this!

Talk about getting thrown under the bus. The house was on fire last week and the wife got the kids out. She said "Be quiet or you might wake daddy". That's the story of my life, I get no respect, no respect at all.

And yes PC Police. I have met Maverick so I can take artistic license in my posts.

we are new to the site my son jeremy moskow has a you tube highlight tape google it we would love to know if any coaches or fans think he might fit the school they are most familiar with thanks

Probably better to send said video to MWC Coaches than offering it on the message boards.

I keep an eye out for talent but only if I see someone in person.

Roopcruits 3, went to Beloit 0.

Interesting story on ESPN this morning about over signing players, in which the term grey shirting was used. So it must be a real term nowadays. SEC seems to be the worst as they are/were nearly 20 over their scholarship limit on average. I can understand a little over signing as some kids will change their minds and some might not get in to school but 103 players for 85 scholarships is ridiculous. Talk about a what have you done for me lately situation.

So moskowe if your kid is a D1 prospect I'd be careful about what you're getting in to. DIII tends to recruit the student first and athlete second so these problems are few and far between. Still, there's always a little politics involved at any level. Pick a school he likes and worry about the athletic program later. If he has the ability to go Pro down the road the scouts will still find him.

Chris Berman: Mount Union has won the most National Championships in DIII history. Upstart Beloit has never made the playoffs before. That's why they play the games.
Ton Jackson: When you go back to the midway point in the 4th quarter Mount Union was in control but going for it on 4th and goal at the Beloit 1 already leading 20-3 was the turning point in this game.

Chris Berman: Stuffed in the backfield and it's a fumble................ Beloit takes it out to the 45. 6 plays later they would score. 20-10. Following a Mount Union punt Beloit tacked on a a field goal, 20-13.
Tom Jackson: At this point the Purple Raiders should have just tried to move the ball but couldn't run out the clock.
Chris Berman: Tick tick tick, tick tick tick. Beloit has a receiver wide open in the end zone and we're all tied at 20. Now the ensuing kick off. Oh, no. Mount Union is taking it to the house with 12 seconds left. Wait a minute. Referees are talking on the sideline and he was ruled out at the 13.
Tom Jackson: If you're Mount Union you have 2 time outs left, just run a play to the center of the field and leave it up to your kicker.
Chris Berman: Not so fast Tom, trips right and an empty backfield. Mount Union is going for the end zone. Intercepted by Beloit. One man to beat at the 40, whoop, and he could go all the way. 15, 10, 5, touchdown. No flags on the play. 87 yards and it's Walnut and Bronze for the Buccaneers.
Tom Jackson: I don't agree with that play call.
Chris Berman: In any event; hats off to the 2011 Stagg Bowl Champions and Americas Team, the Beloit College Buccaneers. Stick around, we have more highlights to follow.

Your best bet on any news would come from hickory_cornhusker, Footballfan99, or carrollu62. Any of you guys heard anything new in the past couple of weeks on the situation at Carroll?

Footballfan99 · December 23, 2010, 11:33:34 AM

The current plan at Carroll is to the normal national search for a new head coach, but my feeling is current interim head coach Mark Krzykowski will have the title of head coach sooner rather than later. Coach Krzykowski has the support of current players and many formers players and parents backing him to get the head job at the school. He is a former Carroll grad and would make a perfect fit for the school in my opinion. Now I'm not saying that Coach K is a shoe in for the job, but my guy feeling is that he will be given the job when the dust clears.
