not alot of traffic cuz we are are all about the football of our conference on this board, where other conference boards talk about various topics

haven't heard much new from the hub of western illinois.....there is a new slideshow on the website though with pictures from installation of the new Scots field turf

Scots defensively will have to prove themselves with 7-8 new starters, I know the coaching staff is gonna challenge them in camp....but they will probably be even harder on the offense to prevent complacency cuz they got everyone back minus one lineman

Still waiting on Beloits field turf. Which was to be installed following the 2007 season.

Don't worry. My high school was supposed to get new lights installed for its football field when I was in sixth grade. They got them the year after I graduated from high school.

I, like many others, including visiting players, would sure like to hear that ground has been broken for the new facility in De Pere. But no word yet. $:-\$

SNCOL, don't mean to shoot your hopes and dreams but the new stadium at SNC was told to recruits that ground breaking would start back in 2004....I hardly doubt DA will step foot on that field in a uniform.

I know. But we can dream. Actually there was quite a bit of movement in the spring, especially on the donation front.

Maybe the DNR is studying the impact of a new stadium on migratory bird flight paths.

Hey ROOP, remember to look up when at the existing stadium.

Just like NASCAR, we usually get a flyover. Unlike NASCAR, our flyover will drop bombs!

The Roop · July 09, 2009, 08:36:51 PM

What's the umbrella policy at the existing stadium ??

SNCOLDAD: Well, I guess I'll be missing the GREEN KNIGHT/ORANGE KNIGHT contest on September 5th. It appears we will be heading in the opposite direction to attend a wedding. Who in God's green Earth schedules a wedding on a Saturday during football season?

SNCOLDAD · July 10, 2009, 09:45:07 AM

Roop, if you are cheering for SNC, then they pass over with no bombs.

Warthog, If you only knew!!!

What you just said is hitting home like you would not believe. I will discuss later but not now.

scots will be tested on defense they do though have 3 all conference guys back on d

2 defensive ends and a safety plus a defensive tackle that played alot last year. the way i see it with that

offense they only need a few critical stops a game.

scots fan: From what I've seen of that offense of yours, you could end up with a whole bunch of wins that sound like basketball scores.

scots fan · July 11, 2009, 07:53:05 AM

warthog, we will see how good monmouth is right out of the gate they play
loras at home first game should be a good test.

SNCOLDAD · July 11, 2009, 09:54:28 AM

The opening game for SNC should also give a pretty good indication as to where they stand also. It is good to see Monmouth schedule a tough non-conference game. But as we all know, that game does not win conference and that has a long way to go after that first game. A lot can happen, especially injuries, as SNC saw all too much of last year.
