FB: Midwest Conference

[scottie]

I busted my gut reading about Tanney being "just another quarterback" and just got released today.   

I didn't get to watch the game, but think I know what the problem was and the remedy will be.    

...IMO the problem was a strong opponent who didn't back down and Monmouth not knowing how to play from behind. The remedy will be equal helpings of Beloit College, Lawrence, Knox, etc. -- in other words, getting back to their own conference schedule!!  

Oh, Bobo, don't forget a heaping helping of IC Blu!   

[BoBo]

Actually, I'm a believer in IC blu...the propaganda is very convincing!! 

[Moncolfan]

And don't forget Knox is on the rise. I'm glad Monmouth still has another 9 weeks or so to prepare for them.

I don't know this propaganda of which you speak, but you're clearly a being of superior intelligence.  

Now, on the straight up, I will conceed nothing to the boys in the plaid skirts this season. However, my real contention all along has been that in the coming years, as Campbell's recruiting classes and program take hold.  Then, well, let's just say there'll be an increased need for more of the aforementioned powder... I mean, all I'm sayin' is, well, if, y'know, one OOC loss brings that type of hostility from certain of their fans, toward a poster from a seemingly and historically less competitive in-conference program, and individual only wishing to say their program is "on the rise", what's the sandbox gonna be like when they have to share their toys???  (Please note use of emoticons)

Congrats, Blu!  I think you just won the award for Most Commas Ever Used In Once Sentence on the D3Boards.   You're my boy, Blu!

Hello everyone, I'm new to posting, but have been reading them for 5 years.  Obviously, you can see where my loyalties are by my name.

I went to the Warburg game and what I saw was a team full of talent that doesn't know how to play together yet.  You had a quarterback that is used to throwing to 6 or 7 different recievers with confidence and now you only have two of those returning and one was out with a foot issue.  Its going to take a bit to get on the same page with this new team and when that does, we will see something similar to last year.

As for the comments on the line.  The line did fine.  Yeah...they didn't get two 3rd and 1s running, but how many times did we fail to complete short passes on the same short 3rd downs.  Monmouth getting 3rd and 1s has been a problem for 4 years.  Two years ago, they snuck one out against ripon after being 3rd and goal from the 1 three different times in the game and having to settle for kicking a fieldgoal each time.  Monmouths rushing attack was +2 on the day, but they didn't run the ball much and Tanney had 2 huge sacks where he tried to scramble around on roll out passes.  Get rid of the ball.  My point is, everyone made some mistakes. It was a team loss.

This team will be fine.  The next few weeks will be good games to get back to the norm going into Norby.

Welcome Kilts! Just what we needed...  Another MC poster...   Is there a Lake Forest or Larry in da house???  Keep 'em coming Kilts! 

Look Scottie!  No commas!

Hey Blu,

I missed the first few weeks of posts.  Did you say that your son is the QB at IC, but was recruited by Monmouth.  And I am guessing from your other comments, that you are from Texas.  What division and where at in Texas?

[blu thru n thru]

I've recently had restrictions placed on my ability to reference and discuss Texas.  It happens quite frequently when a Texan travels, or reaches out, to the other 49 states.  The other statest get tired of being reminded of Texas's vast superiority in all areas not involving cheese, corn, or soy beans.  (Actually, that may only be limited to cheese).

My son is not "the" QB at IC, he is "a" QB at IC.  He is a freshman and hopes to compete for the job next season.  Naturally, I think he's got the stuff

He played at Klein HS in Spring, (Texas).  District 13-5A. 

[The Roop]

Wow. He accepted that Texas is a state and not an independent country. 

[SNCOLDAD]

Ya know Roop, I noticed that also. And he didn't even say "Biggest State" .  Therapy must be working. 

Roop, you in Beloit Saturday?

I have to for now, but efforts are underway...

[SNCOLDAD]

I certainly Hope so.

Roop, you in Beloit Saturday?

Have been in Beloit all week and I've managed to dodge the rummage sale. Call or text when you get to town and I'll meet you at Schneider South for pre-game warm ups. Should I bring a spatula with me
