I'm not sure, I think Linfield's schedule and been just a smidge tougher.

+1

Huh?

Adding karma for improper word usage....what has this board become?

If Illinois Wesleyan knocks off Wheaton that will leave both Wheaton and North Central with two losses. Will one of them get in? If so, NC does right?

I'd say both would be on life support.  I'm guessing that no 2-loss teams gets a pool C, but the winner of ONU/Capital would probably be first in line if one does.

A Wheaton loss might also eliminate Bethel, if St. Thomas doesn't do it anyway.

Between Wheaton and NCC, I'd assume NCC would go first due to h-to-h.

Linfields schedule is tougher than whos? Monmouth? Yeah

An interesting sub-plot in this week's Turkey Bowl, as I noticed that it will feature the reigning Offensive POW (Tanney) vs. the reigning Defensive POW (Zirkle).  Just one more example of why, in THIS game, throw them there records out the window.  Think about it:  Last week, Knox has FIVE interceptions in a gutty win over LFC.  Tanney is bringing in 36 TDs amd 3044 yards down I34 into Galesburg.  Something has GOTTA give.  Which team will bend, but not break?  Which winning streak will continue?  Who will have the ball last???  This might all come down to who wins the ever-important coin toss and field direction for a 4th quater field goal attempt.  Folks, you just can't make up this kind of drama!

scottie, there you go smokin that stuff again!!!

Just noticed that the Bronze Turkey got the lead paragraph in Keith's ATN article.   

In the spirit of the MWC ....because at this time of the year we begin to root for the best interests of the conference, right y'all.....  good luck to SNC this weekend.  A decisive victory may boost their chances for one of the last bids.  ie.  No more of that 14-11 crapola.

Linfields schedule is tougher than whos? Monmouth? Yeah

I just re-ran the numbers this morning: 120% tougher than Monmouth's. 110% tougher than UWW's. 90% tougher than Central's. 60% tougher than SJU's. Sorry, DutchHawk, it just doesn't pencil out for your boys.

What about a bagpipe/cowbell duet? That would rock...

An interesting sub-plot in this week's Turkey Bowl, ... why, in THIS game, throw them there records out the window. 

Scottie, I know you are really don't think this will last longer than one quarter...

1. It is 'the game' where record stats by the Scots will be posted 'in' and 'not thrown out.'
2. Weather conditions will be outstanding for tomorrow's game: Partly Cloudy 66° - 67° w/ winds @ 8 -10 mph WSW. Get to wear our plaid kilts and not worry about no swirling winds in the Bowl!
3. Widest margin of victory over Knox is a 51-0 drumming in 1978. The highest scoring game in the series came in 1977; my senior year by a score of 61-20. Open up the record books on this one!
4. Hey, it's the Siwash we're playing...  PC aside, that's who I remember them to be.
5.Redwash all over this one.

Picks for Week 9:

Grinnell @ Beloit - BC
Lake Forest @ Carroll - CU
Lawrence @ Ripon - RC
Monmouth @ Knox - MC
St. Norbert @ Illinois C. - SNC

Good luck Fighting Scots!  Finish the job, hang onto the Bronze Turkey, and get that 10-0 again!

PS - Any former Scots that are gonna be around for the game tomorrow afternoon, give me a shout if you see me.

NRO1 has landed in Beloit so I can watch one in person for a change. Apologies in advance to those hoping for in game updates

FightnScot77....he was joking.
