Thanks for the support, guys...I feel like last week's stock market! Must reflect your appreciation of my commitment to the MWC all of these years, but oh well.....   

Looking forward to my baker's dozen.

Hey Mr. Football just for the record which two or 3 teams are going to beat Monmouth this year? I am also curious as to  who these key loses are for Monmouth in regards to the 15 or so who dropped out of the program. (Positions will do -no need for names here) I know MC have a few positions to fill from the graduating seniors. Finally I hardly doubt that MC's recent success is hurting their recruiting.

I think I know where one of those losses will come.

If I could give K points...

Patience young grasshopper -- that day will come sooner than you think...by my projections in approximately 39.7628 days!!    For now, an IOU is sufficient!!

But Master!  I do not believe I shall ever be able to take the pebble from your hand... 

Now, as for the Scots, Knights, and Red Hawks...  The pebble has already been taken.  They just don't know it yet.

From today's WSJ:

Beloit College Mindset List

[Moncolfan]

Rookie? You bet! But only on this board and where it pertains to MWC football. But I will stand toe to toe with any of you when it comes to assessing talent, coaching, and the direction the impact of both. Y'all keep relying on your precious history. I understand that it's safe for you there. I'll rely on what I see. And I'll laugh last and loudest. 

Yes anyone who assess talent and can predict a classe's future success by just watching the players move into their dorm rooms must really know the game.  Blu I  think there might be some pics on the net from Monmouth's annual town clean-up day. Maybe you can look at those and let us know what kind of special teams were going to have this year. I did run into a few of the Scot's players at Buffalo Wild Wings in Galesburg this past winter and from what I can tell they are in for a big season.

You win, dude!  I've tried unsuccessfully to make a simple point.  Evidently not simple enough for some.  And now I'm bored.  I guess I must accept that IC will forever be a .500 team.  No coach can, or ever has, turned around a program.  What is today, will forever be.  Hell, It's just nice that there are programs willing to be fodder for Monmouth and SNC. 

BTW, Mr. Football, good luck!

[Moncolfan]

jeez blu i'm giving you a hard time.  as for mr. football ok most of those losses were seniors, they like most teams aren't going to return all of there starters but a few of those losses are from kids weren't going to see the field.  When you look at how easily MC ran through their schedule I doubt that 3 teams are going to make up that much difference on their losses.  I guess you are also sayiong that the replacements for these kids aren't very good.  If Monmouth gets beat in the regular season it will truely be an upset. Can it happen sure, but not 3 times. Other than their usual hosing at Ripon which teams do you think have a chance. I'm guessing u will say Wartburg and SNC.

[Mr. Football]

None of those are seniors.  Thats just kids that didnt return for whatever reason..
(grades, money, lost the love or just didnt get any)

Need starting RB for starters (VERY BIG HOLE) and the offense line is slim picking.

[SNCOLDAD]

Camp Open.

blu, do not change. The intensity and enthusiasm is outstanding.

Moncolfan, never underestimate Wart burg at home.

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

[Mr. Football]

Wartburg, SNC and  IC,  If they dont have a running game.

A cool article that looks at the best DIII players in Wisconsin for preseason, and has some MWC faces in the crowd:

WI All-D3 Preseaon Team - Defense

DL- Jeff Trinka - Ripon
LB- Tony Baratti - Beloit
LB- Justin Baker - SNC
DB- Kurt Roeder - Ripon

[Redmen09]

All good things from Ripon camp so far, except thunderstorms cancelled the first practice and the players missed out on running the conditioning test.  Looks like Albert Haynesworth shouldve went to Ripon this fall, atleast he would be playing.
