Holy crap, I miss a few days on the board and it turns over with several new pages!  No time to get in on any arguments now...here's the picks.

Week 9 Games

Monmouth @ Grinnell - MC
Lake Forest @ Cornell - CC
Illinois C. @ Knox - IC

Carroll @ Macalester - CU
Ripon @ Beloit - RC
St. Norbert @ Lawrence - SNC

Good luck Fighting Scots!

Thanks Mav!

Sure thing TAS.  Welcome to the boards.  Sorry to pick against your Scots--looks like it should be a good match-up with Carroll but I think they've got just enough to pull out the road win.  With the remaining games on the schedule for this weekend and next, a November 15 meeting of your Scots and my/scottie's Scots could be a possibility...hmm, this could get confusing.

I'll put my money on the Scots

Agreed, Carroll probably has more talent than my Scots. 

So did the Soviet Union hockey team in the 1980 Winter Olympics against the US.  As the great Herb Brooks said, "If you played them 10 times, they might win 9." 

But it't that 10th one in all of sports that keeps things interesting.

Did you think Carroll had more talent than your Scots?  Seemed like a pretty even match-up to me. 

We'll see how it goes this week and next.  Maybe we'll see you in Monmouth in a couple of weeks.

I think Mac has more of a chance than are being given to them...

[Pat Coleman]

If so, that's a bad sign for Carroll.

[fulbakdad]

I don't see Carroll as the top team in the MWC.....

[fulbakdad]

And Carroll loses to Mac........

[gbpuckfan]

Who invited them? 

Having a team that went 4-6 last year come in and do this well isn't going to help the MWC rep any either, right???

Carroll is what this board thought they were (proper evaluation done by this crew).

Just a bad day by Carroll? I don't see any turnovers, so the Mac rushing offense just too much?

[fulbakdad]

Gb, you can say that again.  But I really think IC is the team with the best chance to move forward.....

Let's just call it a day and help them practice and get ready.

lol

This Dangle?  You correcting the Attorney?  (Although I don't see what you are correcting, but I am just a dumb Marine.....)
