Had been looking for this for awhile.  Here is the Superhuman's episode.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXpwdMEnYCM

He should be working as a sniper or featured on the show 'Alphas'! They never mentioned anything in regards to weather, he naturally factored in the weather...awesome! Oh by the way, the field was looking nice.

[scottie]

Thanks, 'Fan.  We like it, and it's been a long time coming. 

Any word on Beloit Football this year?  It sounds like they've already secured the hoops crown for the forseeable future, and I'm curious where their dominance will end?   

[The Roop]

They are looking forward to being in Macalasters division in 2014. It's interesting to note that they will have divisional play again but still structured it in a way to have a 10 game season. The 10th week will feature a championship game between division winners and the rest of the league will play similar "cross-over" games with the corresponding team in the other side. 2 vs. 2, 3 vs.3; etc.

The guys report in two weeks and a couple days!  Not looking forward to the drive out to get Jr. to Chicago, but really looking forward to the season!

Go Foresters!

[The Roop]

Finally got in touch with a friend mine from the Corps. Seems he has a nephew that will be suiting up for the Foresters this season on the gridiron. Now I'll have 3 teams to root for. Beloit, Lake Forest and whomever is playing Ripon.

[scottie]

Corps nephews don't tip-toe out of bounds.  F-dad will be happy.

[fulbakdad]

Damn straight Scottie!  Put that head down and drive forward, get that extra yard! lol


Who's the Nephew?  I'll watch for him.

[fulbakdad]

And Roop, Semper Fi!  Retired GySgt.

[The Roop]

With the policy changes that the MWC Conference has made, which allowed Macalaster to join for football only, it makes me wonder if they would consider a non-football school. Such as MSOE, into the conference to balance the schedule in other sports.

How 'bout them Cowboys!?! 

[wartknight]

Tanney was able to stay off the turf; something he didn't do so well against the Knights .....It was pretty cool seeing him out there, though.

[scottie]

Well, of course, the Knights would be the Dolphins 9 out of 10 times so we'll excuse Miami for a weak defensive unit.   

Tanney got plenty of pub during his first series, which was good because I think the broadcast featured a HOF inductee on the remaining Cowboy drives.  If Romo would have thrown a pass like the one Tanney threw to Green, the announcers would be blabbering all over themselves about his touch.  But not a peep for Alex on the throw.  Oh well, hopefully we'll see more of him in the preseason.

Isn't that the truth. Although, I don't think it is all media as the NFL, etc dictates who should be put on a pedestal!!
