Scottie will be in the Maple City on October 11.  Will the good guys be on a win streak or losing streak by then?

You planning on going to the high school game in town that night?  No Scots game on the 11th.

Technically, my comment is correct as it stands.....  I'll be in town on Friday and the Good Guys may have a winning streak or a losing streak by the game on Saturday.   

Do you have any comments on the game itself, Mav?  Not sure if you want to re-live it....   

Well at least you capitalized Good Guys that time.   Will you be at the MC homecoming game on Saturday, October 12th?

Comments on the game...it was a rainy second half and we let one that we should've had get away.  Seriously though, the second half just had a different feel to it after the early FG that made it 20-3.  I can't really put my finger on what was different, if it was the level of intensity or focus or anything like that--but the offense just couldn't get much going in the second half and the defense (which played pretty well in the first half) couldn't manage to get off the field when they needed to on the 3 long touchdown drives...I think Cornell had the ball for almost twice as long as Monmouth in the second half time of possession category, or at least it felt that way.  Bottom line: Monmouth never completely finished them off and put them away, Cornell did a good job of continuing to fight even though they were down, they found a way to get some momentum during the second half, and rode that momentum on both sides of the ball to come all the way back for the win.  You're right though--not a fun one to re-live from our side of it.

Yes, a scottiesighting is on the horizon.

Scottie,

I would like to formally invite you to the Forest on Oct 19th.  You will receive an all inclusive package.  This will include, priority parking, access to the best tailgate in the MWC.  Food, drinks, and alcohol included.  The Host party will throw in free tickets to the game, along with priority seating in the middle of the Lake Forest Gridiron Gang, with 5 beats on the Lake Forest Drum.

How can you not take advantage?

Please RSVP

F-Dad:  I must send my regrets.  While your offer is generous (albeit mysteriously lacking any female considerations......c'mon, it's scottie!) and likely NOT an ambush, the upcoming scottiesighting in the Maple City is taking place in light of serious travel considerations and semi-significant expense which, unfortunately, cannot be duplicated the following week.

"Likely not an ambush"...c'mon, it's F-Dad!  What do you think 5 beats on the Lake Forest drum means?!

Gunny, did you seriously mention free alcohol and not include LCpl Ruppert in the same invitation.

[fulbakdad]

LCpl, you know you are always invited.

[The Roop]

I'll contact a certain former Cpl. and see what he's doing that day. Alex "however you spell it's" uncle. I can see us ending up at the Bally Muck. It's kind of the Tun Tavern of Waukegan.

When you come to the LFC Tailgate, just look for unlucky #13.

[fulbakdad]

By the way.  Congrats to Pat Clark for being named MWC defensive player of the week.  Pat's a very smart DB who is aggressive on the field!  We'll be seeing his name a lot in the next couple years.

So tailgating and alcohol is allowed at LFC?  A newbie here. 

[fulbakdad]

Yes it is.  It's a very good tailgate crew at LFC.  We even have a name, the Gridiron Gang.  It's definitely worth the price of admission, FREE! lol.

Thanks so much for the info.      BTW, Is there any school in the MWC that does not allow it? 

[The Roop]

At Monmouth you have to keep it off campus; unless that has changed. At Beloit keep it in the parking lot. FYI "to go cups" aren't generally inspected unless you make it obvious.

I don't believe alcohol is allowed period on the Illinois College campus, with one exception being the Alumni Tent on Homecoming weekend.
