FB: Midwest Conference

[fulbakdad]

More an observation than a compliment... And isn't everyone reloading?  I think the current state of the MWC is of much more parity than in yesteryear.  Two years in a row it's been a 5-6 team race.  If it was a balanced schedule and SNC played Illinois Col it might have been a down to the last game year again....  We'll see what happens next year.

Way to stir it up again, F-Dad!   

With apologies to our friends in Jacksonville, I'd say that G-Boob properly identified the real blue bloods of the MWC.

Fight, fight, fight for Washington St.

Scottie, Thank you For straightening out the Dad

[fulbakdad]

Scottie,

Not trying to stir up anything.  Just stating a point.  When I started watching the MWC 3 to 4 years ago, there seemed to be only 2 or 3 teams that were competing.  At that time it was "All hail Tanney"! lol.

Things have changed.  LFC went from the bottom to hovering near or at the top.  Carroll, Cornell, Ripon have been right there with them.  All competing with the mighty three, IC, Monmouth and SNC.

It's a much tighter league now.  Which I think is a good thing.

When Boob comes out and says, the continued dominance of SNC and Monmouth, it made me think.  More than half the LFC team has only seen wins against Monmouth and three years ago it was a shootout between Tanney and Scaffidi going down to the final couple minutes.

I'm on my way out to see the last game.  Another note, LFC is graduating the most seniors ever from the team.  That shows commitment and belief in the program.  They are being cheered by the largest freshman class ever.  I believe that shows we'll still be around after this years final bell.

I don't think I'd want to be a QB, RB, or Reciever tomorrow wearing green.

Safe travels, fulbakdad.  Bring back a win!

[fulbakdad]

LOL.... It feels dirty you rooting for us!

Week 11 Games
Cornell @ Grinnell - CC
Illinois C. @ Carroll - CU
Lawrence @ Ripon - RC
Monmouth @ Knox - MC
St. Norbert @ Lake Forest - SNC

Looking like a real good slate of games to finish up the regular season with rivalry games and other games with playoff implications.  Been hearing about a rainy forecast in my area, so I'm hoping the weather decides to play nice and holds off until after the game...hope everyone has a good Saturday!  Turkey Bowl time--make it 15 straight!  Good luck Fighting Scots!

  Hi all you old timers, and the newbies. Believe it or not, I am still around even though my son graduated and played his last game in 2010. As far as who dominates the MWC in football? Come On Guys. Even in 2010 when parity was even stronger than it is today, who won conference???   Roop? You got this one.
Seriously though, concerning Saturday. SNC at LFC has got to be the game of the week and maybe the year. Nothing bad against Cornell as they have really made this years race interesting. LFC has come a long way. But not far enough to overcome the tradition of the Green Knights taking the victory ...... and sole ownership of conference champs once again.   

Roop, Scottie, fulbakdad, and others, have a great weekend and enjoy the games.

SNC DAD, Good to see you still hang around...even if you didn't give Mav a personal mention like The Roop, scottie, and fbdad.

[scottie]

Don't worry, Mav.  He still puts the COLD in snCOLDad.   

[The Roop]

I thought Global Warming was the crisis, yet scottie appears to be predicting an Ice Age. How are we to know what to think. My friend at work, Nguyen Pharm, says green energy is overrated anyway. Not sure if that was a SNC comment or a general statement about fossil fuels. 

[fulbakdad]

The SNC football team stayed in the hotel we are in.  Don't think for a minute a few fire alarms didn't run through my head!

1 left in the first.  LFC scores on a 70 pass.  Up 7-3.
