You heard it here first folks

Could College Game Day III be making a trip to Beloit for next Saturday's BIG BIG BIG game? It looks like the mighty Bucs are ready, willing, and able to issue payback for last year's 51-3 Scottish setback.

Will MC's decision to call off the dogs in today's second half cost them a spot in the top 25? An idle team (or two) may jump them. Scottie predicts #24.

Congrats to Alex Tanney who ties Rob Purlee's career TD record. Tanney had five TDs today, as well as an assist to Steve Zidow's TD on the flee-flicker, in just over a half of the game. 8)

Back home but still licking wounds!

I don't have time today except to say:

SNC is 1-0 in conference just like a few other teams.

Grinnell showed a lot of guts and desire. Hats off to them.

Monmouth had quite the decisive victory over poor old Lawrence yesterday. That's my buddy Bluenote's favorite team because he likes their library, and he's a musician.

It's good to see that the MWC is improving generally and having post-season success.

Actually scottie the game is in Monmouth but I've already heard that Lee Corso likes Beloit so they are doomed. No point in playing this one.

Moves the Bucs from a 3 TD favorite to a 10 point favorite.

HOW 'BOUT THEM GREEN KNIGHTS!!

Redmen09 · September 14, 2009, 12:03:41 AM

Hello everyone. Ive been following this board for quite awhile now, but finally got registered. I figure I could try to even out the Big 3 on the board (monmouth, snc, and beloit) and add in some more perspective from the ripon pov. Ive been folling for the last year about so i am able to get the witty humor used in this board, very clevar posts at times.

I am a ripon alum that has followed the football team very closely for the last five years, so hopefully i can contribute to the discussion. I am a huge MWC fan so hopefully there are some good stories this season coming from the MWC, looking forward to it

Big headlines from week 1:
-The score of the SNC game definetely
-Score of the Beloit-Carroll game (I thought Beloit would challenge the Pios but not by that score)
-Air Tanney not missing a beat and Carroll being 0-2

14-11??

14-11??

That's a lot better than last week's move.

MWCfan787 · September 14, 2009, 02:43:43 AM

i was talking about the st. norbert v grinnell score.........

that's funny though I didn't notice that was monmouth's move in the polls

SNCOLDAD · September 14, 2009, 09:32:04 AM

Yes. 14-11

Now my question is, what are Monmouth's, St. Norbert's, Ripon's, Beloit's and Illinois College's record in the MWC?

Hmmmm

Bueller? Anyone?

OK. I know. Let me tell you, it was a very difficult game to watch from the stands. And Grinnell now has the visitors sitting right behind the bench that the Grinnell coach has his players sit on when he yells at them. Good move coach!

This was a game that I truly believe that SNC had a HUGE let down from the previous week. Of course that may be obvious. Grinnell was pumped up something fierce. The Green Knights almost blew it.

So, to answer all the questions, Yes, 14-11

And to answer my question 1-0

Now let's see how much they learned from this and see what happens against Lawrence.

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

The Roop · September 14, 2009, 09:46:41 AM

171 yards rushing and 66 yards passing. My question is when did St. Norbert become an option team ??

scottie · September 14, 2009, 09:48:01 AM

Okay, so the score was really 14-11? Is that what your telling us? Was it four field goals and a safety?

(And, how lucky for the Vikings that they get a PO'd Green Knight squad this weekend.....ouch!)

Welcome R-men 09. Good to have some Ripon chatter.
