Quotelivid that Pac Lutheran made the field

Pacific Lutheran wins your conference. Maybe several years in a row.

The Roop · November 17, 2013, 09:16:03 PM

That's fine, let them join. I think the MWC should add more teams and split into two conferences anyway. Works for me.

Hey dangle, enjoy that monkey stomp yesterday? I'm pretty sure your QB, Recievers, and RB's didn't.

I'm sure they didn't but yesterday's game will be long forgotten when they enjoy slipping on their conference championship rings in the spring.

Really? When I played we only got rings for National Championships.... Seems like that is following the everyone gets a ribbon/medal/trophy that goes on at the grade school level.

It's common practice at many levels of college football to get conference championship rings. Been that way for some time.

Enough of the silliness. With the storms that rolled though yesterday I'm sure that there are some MWC player connections. Prayers go out to those that were effected.

It was another fun season, and one team is moving forward.

Best of luck to SNC.

See everybody else around early August?

And Roop, we added a new team for next year and did split into two.....So this is the last year of the unbalanced schedule issues.....

The Roop · November 18, 2013, 06:07:39 AM

I know that. I'm just saying that maybe adding enough to make two automatic bids might be the way to go. The conference is getting a little far flung again, much like it was when there was divisional play years ago. At worst split and you'd have two Pool B Conferences. Add 1 to each and you're back to Pool A status.

Macalester is joining for football only.

IIRC, the two divisions will be the Wisconsin & Minnesota teams in the North Division, Illinois & Iowa teams in the south.

Play other 5 teams in your division, plus 2 teams crossover from the other. On the last week, 1N plays 1S for the title & autobid, while 2N/2s, 3N/3S, etc also play. Teams then get two non conference games.

For the crossover, it's a home-and-home series, so it would take six years to rotate through once visiting each site. So, I don't think Monmouth comes back to De Pere for six years, for example.

It's play-off time so we have a new idiot on the board. Ignore him and he will go away. Here's the deal. Players read this, so if you're not man enough to say it in person, don't say it here. sncdingleberry....

Roop you disappoint me. For an educated man such as yourself I was expecting more erudite repartee than the third grade level like "Funny you should mention dingleberrys since you would be an expert on bottoms as the school you follow regularly finishes at the bottom of the conference standings." You know, something like that.

grboob · November 18, 2013, 11:22:46 AM

Dad,

Its as simple as this. Until LF wins a MWC championship outright and gets a Playoff bid LF are just POSERS!

Oh, I retract my statement, forgot the 2002 season where LF tied for the MWC championship with SNC and was stomped in the 1st round of the NCAA Playoffs by Wartberg 40something to zip.

fulbakdad · November 18, 2013, 12:53:17 PM

Ironic that you tied Lake Forest last year and we're beat 47-17 by the Tommies?

I'll concede to the posers. Guess we struck a good one Saturday. We're you there? I would have liked to have had a beer with you at the tailgate. Ask Roop, I'm very cordial. Again, enjoy your week.

The Roop · November 18, 2013, 04:22:31 PM

Here's to hoping St. Norbert has a nice long run in the play-offs as the "System" arguments have already started on the basketball board and I'm not interested yet.

scottie · November 19, 2013, 10:33:45 AM

Well, I see the board has hit rock bottom.

Catch y'all in August.

The Roop · November 19, 2013, 05:10:12 PM

scottie I set you up perfect and you missed it. You were supposed to say "You mean like a long run of 7 yards off tackle ??" or something like that.....

Could be a Rooppearance ™ in Whitewater Saturday. Just have to see whether the weather cooperates. Famous Daves is on the way home so whenever the game is over (hopefully not the first quarter) I know can get some good eats.
