Hey ROOP!!!  Pay Back Time tomorrow. You goin down!!!   

[The Roop]

University of Chicago probably wouldn't be the favorite if they were in the MWC but would certainly be one of the contenders. They handled Beloit pretty well as Beloit can't stop the run. Could be a long day.

Excited for the weekend.  Probably going to be watching the game online.  Right now, Penn Atlantic says the MC GC game will cost $6.95.  What is that about?  I thought it was free.  What are your picks for tomorrow

Monmouth @ Grinnell  MC 42  GC 10
Beloit @ SNC  SNC 42  BC  10
Larry @ Knox  LU 17  KC 14
Ripon @ Lake Forest  RC 50  LF 14
Carroll @ Illinois College  CC 27  IC 24

That's right, only one home team winning tomorrow.  Could be some sad crowds in the MWC.

Thanks, KOTR.  It's been a rough week and I needed a good chuckle.     But, seriously, I hope we're both undefeated (in MWC) heading into Turkey Week.  Don't look past Lawrence in anticipation of the SNC showdown, however.

We won't be undefeated, that's for sure, but I could see us POTENTIALLY winning 7 MWC games (Lawrence, Beloit, Grinnell, Carroll, Lake Forest, IC, and Monmouth) this year (although realistically I think it will be closer to 4: Lawrence, Grinnell, Lake Forest, and IC)

Monmouth @ Grinnell  - Monmouth (If Tanney doesn't get hurt)
Beloit @ SNC - SNC
Larry @ Knox - Knox
Ripon @ Lake Forest - Ripon
Carroll @ Illinois College - IC

Nice work, KOTR.  I almost spit Coke on my screen after reading that!

Red hawk sighting... Not an upset that Ripon, but the margin was surprising, I would think.

Good luck to all, and stay healthy

Good for the Vikings!

Just got back from SNC/BC. Sorry for no updates during the game, but there's a problem with my Blackberry. 

SNC won 30-14 in a sloppy game.

There were three penalties on the opening kickoff - SNC kicked it out of bounds and a personal foul on each team. Way too many flags for both teams. I think Beloit gained more yards in the first half on SNC penalties than they did offensively.

It was 17-0 SNC at the half. SNC used a fake punt on the Buc 42 and ran it for a TD, but other wise the offense was average at best in the first half.

SNC would build the lead to 30-0 before the Bucs got two TDs late for the final tally. BC has a few nice playmakers - particularly the WR #2 - but just be consistent offensively throughout the game.

A nice home opener win for the Knights. Siwash come to town next week.

Looks like the Scots are back into video-game-scoring mode.  KOTR: If Larry is putting up 60 on you, that defense better figure itself out, or the Scots are going to put up a hundo.

Monmouth has 660 yards of total offense.  Wow...Tanney came back with a vengence.  I don't know if anyone saw this play, but Monmouth had just intercepted a ball and were on the right hash.  The next play was from the 40.  Tanney dropped back and threw what I thought when it left his hand, was a post pattern.  The ball ended up no where close to the middle of the field.  He threw a 40 yard bomb on a line to the left corner of the endzone.  The ball travel somewhere, by my math (some high school Trig was called on here), around 60 yards on a line.  It was impressive.  I thought it was very funny when one of the Grinnell players before the game was running around on all fours like a monkey.  Then their linebackers sounded like they were barking.  In the end, they really just ended up looking silly.  Great game by the Scots.  It was clearly over after about 6 minutes into the game.  Now on to Lawrence.  If Knox scored 42, I just don't know how many Monmouth will score.  I am guessing that they can at least get to 30
