Maybe the Rams will pick up Tanney?  Practice time is drawing to the end and he didn't see the field in pre-season.

If not the Rams, I'm sure LFC will try to hire him as their QB Coach.  They seem to be trying to tap into the winning formula....

Word is they are already in negotiations. .....

So Ful  What is your assessment of the 2 QB transfers from Elmhurst and Knox?

[fulbakdad]

I've heard good things about both.  Rantis (who now joins his other 2 brothers on the team making 3, thankful I don't have their tuition bill!) is more of the dual threat needed in the Pistol and Osterbaan has a great arm and throws a very nice ball.  I haven't seen either of them on the field so I will hold back on more details until I do.  After having Scafidi for two years, who really could have played fullback, it was a difficult change to have a more one dimensional QB last year.  In my opinion the linebackers had an easier time against us, keying on the running back out of the backfield.  There were even a couple plays that the qb held the ball (cuz there were only a couple plays he did) and it looked like the linebackers didn't believe it and kept following the running back!  I can give you the link to watch it, but beware, it was from the Monmouth game and I know how touchy you can be about that. lol.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to first couple games to get a better definition of who Lake Forest is going to be this year.

So tell me about your running back who was your slot back last year?

[grboob]

Michael Buehne (like Beanie)  He should do real well, if he avoids injuries. 

I was watching a practice game tape and he has the ability and quick feet to make moves as he hits the line.  He is an open space guy that will be fun to watch.

The Scots have 5-6 running backs that can play.

I really like the transfer Brandlyn Jackson a 6'5" WR.

Go to the Monmouth football page and a new article breaks it down pretty good  Coach Bell goes into pretty good detail

With a few exceptions, these are some of the ugliest Week One matches I've seen in a long time with maybe THREE games that look interesting.  Just scottiesayin.

This is one of the only times I will say I hope all the MWC teams win! We made it to the Forest to watch a very impressive storm roll through.  Pretty cool from our 5th floor hotel room.

And......live streaming crashes after 10 minutes.  Hopefully, back soon (pardon the pun!).

So far in the All-American Bowl, the Scots and the Dutchmen are scoreless.
