So he doesn't recognize Lake Forest as MWC Co-Champions?

St. Norbert is just listed as the defending champions because they were the MWC playoff team last season and that's just the way it was written by the Monmouth Sports Information Department--not a quote from Coach Bell. Don't try to stir the pot and create bulletin board material when the season is still a week away.

Beloit finally has their roster out and from a numbers stand point, I'm liking what I am seeing. 10 seniors and 24 freshmen. So they are gaining personnel for the future. That always helps. I don't know anything about any of the new comers but they have a 6'7" 350lb offensive lineman. I'll be watching him. If it doesn't pan out, make him a nose tackle.

Come on Mav, you've got to see the ball while landing on the carrier deck. Are u saying they wrote the article without talking to him? And he didn't see it prior to it being posted on HIS teams page? Not good management then IMHO! Lol.

fulbakdad, since you're still relatively new to the conference/message boards. Here's a secret. Every team in the MWC thinks it is perfect and that's just how it is. Only when the entire conference goes 5-5 will the Presidents be happy. It's a long story so I will leave it at that.

It seems a lot like the scene from Midnite Express where every patient in the crazy ward keeps walking around in circles going the same direction. Then one guy goes the other way and everyone goes nuts! "Bad machine, bad machine!". Lol, sorry but the same teams aren't always gonna win! From what I saw last year and what I saw was recruited this year, I believe Lake Forest might become a thorn in a couple sides!

82, 82, 82. 400 Oak St. Maple Syrup should be on the table before the pancakes. 1 for bad 2 for good. K-Mart.

And on an unrelated side note. Gatorade is a horrible drink mixer. You have been informed thusly. Bazinga.

I doubt the coach runs the game plan past the SID either. I would hope they leave the writing to the writers.

It's tough being co-champions if you don't make the playoffs.

fulbakdad · September 01, 2013, 06:32:10 AM

Sure beats being 3-7! So really not so tough.

fulbakdad · September 01, 2013, 08:10:10 AM

And Pat, in your kickoff Midwest preview Lake Forest is listed with a better predicted record than the team above them. I believe this to be a conspiracy of the highest order! You're all in this together!

They have the same conference record, actually, not a better record. Not sure I've seen predicted standings listed using OVERALL record. Monmouth projected to win the tiebreaker.

Well said Pat!

Of course they talked to him in order to write the article, that's why there are several quotes in there from him along with info on which guys are expected to major contributors...but I would guess that was the extent of his involvement, not proof-reading the SID work.
