FB: Midwest Conference

[DBQ1965]

T'would seem that the two biggest games remaining this season are IC @ Monmouth (can the Scots play spoiler and knock IC out of contention?) and LF @ SNC (for all of the marbles?).  Winner likely gets a trip St. Thomas.

Or Oshkosh. The UMAC winner has to play somewhere, also.

The way the play-off committee placed teams last year, I think it will be much harder to predict who will play where.

Yes, but out in this corner of the bracket, 500 miles comes into play.

Lake Forest wins tomorrow 42-21.  Foresters are confused early with the option, but recover to shut it down.  Scaffidi throws 4 TD passes.  Nick Waters has 2 interceptions.......

Found a way for the Nick Waters shout out!

lol

[scottie]

Scaffidi's leadership and heart proves to be LF's downfall.  By halftime, Google HR approaches him in the locker room and offers him a Senior VP position, effective immediately, and wisks him away to the left coast. Waters steps in at QB in second half and performs admirably, but Ripon hangs on 38-34.

Good luck to everyone this week...especially the Cornell Rams! I hope Flores is able to play...if he does I always like our chances to win but if he is not playing I get a little nervous. I thought the backup did a very nice job last week but it was easy to see that the absence of Flores really hurt.

What kind of team is Carrol? Are they an option attack similar to Ripon?

[fulbakdad]

Scottie,  I've got a slight twist to your ending. 

After Scaffidi goes to lead the company into the Fortune 500,  Cat switches #13 back to fullback and finishes the game running the triple option, beating Ripon at their own game!

Lol

Good luck tomorrow everybody!  (Except Ripon of course)

I have yet to watch Carroll in person this year, so someone else may be able to give you better insight.  Traditionally, Carroll has run a pro-style offense and uses the running game to set up the play action pass.  They don't rely on the pass as much as many of the MWC teams do, but typically their passing is much more of a threat than Ripon's.

Interesting scenarios guys...what I'm most interested in though is what are the Massey percentages on each of those actually playing out?!

Week 9

Carroll at Cornell - CU (Carroll)
Illinois C. at Monmouth - MC
Lawrence at Grinnell - GC
Ripon at Lake Forest - LFC
St. Norbert at Beloit - SNC

Good luck Fighting Scots!

Since you really, really want to know, Massey says IC is going to beat Monmouth 35-28 and gives the Scots only a 29% chance of winning.   

I'm predicting a 35-34 IC win.  Monmouth scores late, decides to go for 2, but Yocum trips over a shoelace, falling 6 inches short of the winning conversion. 

[scottie]

I wouldn't rely on the shoelace defense to stop Yocum.  He appears to be on quite a roll right now.  And didn't I read something about IC having trouble stopping the run?  Huh??   


Y O C U M   S C O R E S   A G A I N ! ! !                                                          

[TitanPride]

Yes, you did. I'm concerned that his shoelace may be the only thing to stop him tomorrow. Hoping I'm wrong.

[fulbakdad]

Looks like another great weather day for Football.  We've been lucky so far.  Our trip back east might be a little different.  LOL.

Go Foresters!

[fulbakdad]

Ripon strikes first with a 97 yard run.  7-0

[fulbakdad]

Lake Forest drives the field and scores from the 1.  Tied at 7
