At St. Johns, you also have as many posters for your team as this whole confrence does with 10 teams.  Nearly all of the posters are from MC and SNC, with very few inbetween.

[Kilted Rat]

We usually start out with a fair number of posters from other schools besides SJU talking up their school and how they will beat SJU.

Once their team plays SJU, they fade away rapidly. Some concordia fans have stuck around mostly because of the close game and because they're in the playoffs too.

eh, **** happens...am i supposed to be scured???

Nobody said it would be easy Scots but you got the chance. Capitalize on it!

[ScoutTeamHero]

I would say at least 3 or 4 teams are not represented and if schools are only by a few posters besides the big 2, well it was  mostly 2 until the early success of SNC this year.  When that happened most all quit posting except Monmouth fans.

[Snydz822121]

hey scout what school did/do you go to?

[Snydz822121]

Snydz822121, we wait with great anticipation your coming appearance in Collegeville this weekend.  It is a good thing you have made us all aware of your impending presence and your overwhelming coolness.  We do not pretend to be worthy; but we do hope to bask in your glow for this one day.

well i am sure that you will find me...i won't be hard to see with my glow

[Kilted Rat]

Hey Kilted...I stuck around after BU lost?  Where are the props? 

Mighty Royal

I karmalize you at every opportunity! What more props does a nerd like you need than to be rewarded with mythical points?

[Snydz822121]

Hey Snydz,
You want to talk about academics?  I played football and soccer for Bethel and was a Chemistry (B.S.) Major...I graduated with a 3.59 which I think is pretty respectable in Chemistry.  Duffman was also a Chemistry major and a great football player for SJU.  If you want to compare academic standards between conferences, by all means, but I am just warning you that you won't fair to well against us MIACers...by the way Kilted is a very smart cookie...he will own you like his little red headed step child!

Mighty Royal

you played football and soccer?  thats kinda an oxymoron isn't it?  But if you want to get into the sport playing, I played 3 sports at Monmouth, Football Basketball and Baseball.  Congrats on the Chemistry major and the GPA.

[repete]

Gosh, I love it when the ``we're smarter in the xxx conference or xxx program so we aren't as good at football'' themes begin. That and criticizing spelling are the defenses of last resort for lame posters.

What is really hilarious in this case, is that you don't really want to go there.  Since an MWC poster brought academics up, Monmouth's average ACT would put it at the dead bottom of the MIAC -- and several notches below the rest of the league.

Please pick another reason for the upcoming loss.

thanks for the idolizing snydz!!!

Weather-wise...tonight is a real bitch in Central MN...30 degrees with 45-50 mh gusts....freezing rain, a real mess!  Good thing the traveling is not going on tonight or tomorrow.

It is supposed to be in the mid-upper 30's Friday maybe nearing low 40's...might be a good idea to get an early start..

Like Kilted said, 94 is a usually in good shape, but safe bet is to get to wherer you need to go before too late

[ritz72]

For St. Johns fans, there were only 2 teams with more than 6 wins in our conf.  Monmouth and St. Norbert (8-2).  They are the only teams in the conf. that would be able to do anything, given the chance.  They are head and shoulders above anyone else in this conf.  2 other teams had 6 wins and 5 teams finished under .500, there is a long way to go before parity is reached in this conf, but it has been discussed before on this board and most schools won't sacrifice academics in order to build a program.  Football isn't a high priority around most of the schools.

I agree Scout, and since most of our schools are not near major university to get the dropouts.

You must be refering to some teams in your neck of the woods with those statements...

[D O.C.]

Prediction....any time now someone will suggest
'Why don't you go back to your own board?"

[ScotsR BetterThanU]

No hitting pansy.....Eh lets not go there. Prepare how you will.  I'll end the night with another quote. If you can get this one you are a true 80s movie fan. "You gonna make a wave this year?"   Don't be satisfied Scots. Keep rollin! Make your wave.

[Maverick]

To all MWC posters:

Do you like Hamm's beer?
Central Minnesota Martinis?
1980's professional wrestling?
1980's sitcoms?
Shotgunning beers?
Deer hunting?
Marcia or Jan?
Ginger or Mary Ann?
Wilma or Betty?

sjusection105 - I'll oblige you, climb onto the hot seat, and answer all the tough questions.  Here goes...
I'd take some Hamm's beers
Don't know the Central Minnesota martinis, sorry
Grew up on the 80's wrestling!
Some 80's sitcoms ok, some not so good
Shotgunning beers, hell yes!
Deer hunting, never been--would rather go after a bear
Marcia, or maybe both--is that an option?
Toss-up between Ginger and Mary Ann
Wilma all the way

Prediction....any time now someone will suggest
'Why don't you go back to your own board?"

DenSLA - I feel like I'm just the guy to make a suggestion at this point, just not the one you predicted.  My suggestion is to forget all the car nonsense, the who played how many sports at what school, the "our conference's schools are smarter than your conference's schools" crap, and all the rest of the stuff that doesn't matter.  The smack talking from Monday was pretty creative; other than a few good haikus today (Tuesday), there wasn't much here.  I'm hoping it bounces back in tomorrow's posts, get some more haikus and other creative thoughts (I know you Minnesota guys have lots of free time on your hands at this point of the year to come up with witty remarks since you're probably spending alot of time inside right now since it's getting so damn cold out), and maybe a few posts will even discuss the actual football game!

ritz72 - Similar weather down here in west-central Illinois tonight.  Temp is around 30 degrees and winds around 40 mph, just don't have the freezing rain right now.  The rain ended before it got really chilly outside.  Good to hear that I-94 is usually in good shape, because I'm not gonna be able to get much of an early start on Friday...
