Lake Forest in a very uncomfortable position of leading by more than 3 points..  End of the third qtr.

Final
Monmouth 31, Lawrence 7

Vikings get a TD pass in the fourth quarter, not much else going on.

Cornell drives and scores.  17-10 under 4 left.  Worst camera work ever!

Lake Forest intercepts in the end zone to secure the win.

How do you only get 4 first downs in a game, and score 17 and win?

Welcome to Lake Forest Football this year....

Watched the game yesterday on the web.  Got to say one thing before talking about the play.  To the Camera guy.  Go find something else to do on Saturday.  There are families from all over the US that watch the games on Saturday via the web because the players in the MWC are from all over.  To sit and watch a game where the camera is bounced all over the place, left facing the end zone while plays are being narrated is very frustrating.  I know you probably aren't getting paid or if you are it's not a lot, but yesterdays camera work was horrible.  To the Announcers, good job.  the lead guy was obviously sick, but kept with the game, was pretty knowledgeable and did a good job.  I for one appreciate what you did.

Now for the game, still scratching my head.  Lake Forest Defense won this game.  They forced 7 turnovers, scored on a fumble recovery, and set up a field goal with another.  Front 7 did another outstanding job.

But the Offense never got out of the starters box.  Only 4 first downs.....  Not sure what to say.  I know that it's old school football thinking that Defense wins games, but the Offense has to be able to stay on the field for a little bit for that to work.

Well, on to Ripon and the triple option.  My favorite offense.

F-Dad:  Did the Cornell announcers refer to your opponent last week as "Manamyth"?

[fulbakdad]

No Scottie, I believe they called it the University of Tanney.

My point being that all of the webcasts are bad.  ALL OF THE WEBCASTS (that I have seen) ARE BAD!!! I'm still not sure if they are under the direction of the MWC or the individual schools, but this is something that needs to be drastically improved.  There is probably a 20-point plan needed to make the webcast watchable, and I'm not ready to put that together at the moment, but I hope the MWC/schools will take this responsibility more seriously. 

p.s  The Scots began "tanning" opponents again this weekend with a new starting QB, frosh Tanner Matlick.  As Billy Madison once said, "Now you're all in big, big trouble!"

Ist der Wunder-Kinderschmerz oder sind die guten Kerle, die gerade im nächsten Jahr achten ??

I take umbrage at that. Our football games are broadcast in HD and our long time play-by-play man does the broadcasts.  I think we do a pretty good job up here, but maybe the rain delay chased you away.

I didn't get a harumph outta that guy

I didn't watch the SNC game, sid, so your production falls squarely within my parenthetical disclaimer.    Thank you for putting some time and effort into the webcast.  Perhaps you could offer to hold a conference to help the others do a much better job.....

Just sticking up for our guys.

The SNC cast is good. Tim does a very good job on the pbp. Dick Knapinski also does a very good job - with much more frustrating material - for Lawrence.
