Guess that was a decisive victory, and a good day for the kicker, too.
Monmouth does indeed appear to be on a roll.
Nice job!

ooooo.....just noticed in the box score that the 51 yarder came in the 4th quarter when the Scots were already up 56-0.

Maybe Coach Bell is trying to send a message to fellow conference members to step their game up, so we can get some more respect as a conf.

....the back-up kicker....with plenty of time left in the game....wouldn't put TOO much into that particular kick.

That said, 42-0 after one quarter is quite a statement.  Maybe only one team, perhaps two, will leapfrog them in the top 25 this week.

Freshmen kicker...that is

Scottie's Factoid of the Day:

Through four conference games:  Monmouth 53.5, Opponent 1.5

LF pulled within 7 with 6:19 to go and Beloit was content to run out the clock. Not sure I agree with that thinking but they got away with it. I'd rather they punch it in once more and make the Foresters have to score twice in the final minute.

I'm not going to worry about 1 pick in 39 attempts and better play calling should resolve the t.o. on downs situation; but the fumble-itis must stop. You have a limited number of possessions against Ripon to begin with and you can't give them away. The Bucs are learning how to win but they haven't mastered it yet. Next week is a huge game for them even though it will be on the undercard as far as the rest of the conference is concerned.

Nice win for the scotties this past weekend.  Next up a big game vs. St. Norberts.   I am curious to see how many of the predicters pick against the Scots even though they beat Grinnel 59-0 and Norbert beat them 14-11.

Should be a good one come Saturday at beautifil Bobby Woll Memorial Field.

On a side note, I hope that Brett Favre has a bad day! 

[MWCfan787]

Bobby Woll Memorial Field at April Zorn Memorial Stadium which will probably also soon be apart of Roger Haynes Memorial Track

everything gets a name


but anyway...yeah, this is the two biggest reg. season games of the year in back to back weeks coming up for the Scots

Cold but good weekend of football.  Carroll always plays us tough, and after the first half I was a little frusterated, but things worked out a little better for Ripon in the second half.  The Carroll U fans, they were enthusiastic, but were a bit obnoxious.  Ive been known to have a few before the game but some of their fans had a few too many and were a tad on the annoying side.  Good win though and Carroll definetely played better than their record.

Next week starts the biggest part of Ripon's schedule ( @ BC, Home vs MC, @ SNC ).  I am very interested to see the new Beloit College team of 2009.  I agree with Roop that this weeks SNC @ MC will overshadow another very good matchup with RC @ BC.  Its good to see that we are going to have some exciting games upcoming that wont look like the 87-0 blowouts that have been happening.

Ripon head Coach about Ripon vs Carroll:

"This has become a very intense rivalry."

I would agree that over the last 4-5 years RC vs C(U/C) has been an intense matchup

[The Roop]

Could you please enlighten us as to which Ripon offense will be showing up this week. Running teams typically don't go into slumps but they have been inconsistent this year; which makes no sense.
