FB: Midwest Conference

[Moncolfan]

Hey SNC- I don't have the "Official" word but I can tell you I am sure of. Blodgett out for the season. Tanney 4weeks- season. Most likely the season.  Shepard's injury .

Let's see if this works. You'd think that the University of Chicago, the only team to win at Mt. Beloit this year, would be getting some 1st place votes after rolling over perennial power Concordia (IL). It's just more MWC hating by the establishment isn't it scottie

I think "the man" is sticking it to the MWC by also keeping Wartburg so far down in the "others receiving votes" category.  Clearly, they should ranked by now.  All I know is that if all of these players redshirt, there should be a certain MWC team in there as a pre-season top 10 team for 2011 - but I'll fight that battle another day.

Relying on an opponent's preview to know what players are healthy to or not isn't the best resource. A couple of year's ago for the men's basketball conference tournament in Grinnell they had Wes Ladwig for as possibly going to play. I was going to Carroll at the time and I knew the injury and knew there was no way he would be playing that weekend. Coaching staffs have a tendency to be very vague with injuries so it looks like there is a possibility of their star player is playing.

I understand Tanney is really out but this just a word of caution when reading an opponent's SID's game previw.

Yeah true, since LU's SID is probably getting his info from moncolfan  
At the time it was all I could find

My picks for week 2: (3-2 last week as most of the board did)

Ripon @ Grinnell - Ripon by 17
SNC @ Knox - SNC by 21
Lake Forest @ IC - IC by 14
Monmouth @ Lawrence - Monmouth by 20

Game of the Week:
Beloit @ Carroll - Beloit by 7

Not a good week to be at home unless your IC

[Redhawk Sighting]

My Picks:

Ripon @ Grinnell - Ripon by 21 - atleast 1 Def. touchdown
SNC @ Knox - SNC by 21
Lake Forest @ IC - LF by 3.... They were embarrased last week, I think they come swinging..... Sorry Blu...
Monmouth @ Lawrence - Monmouth by 28

Game of the Week:
Beloit @ Carroll - Beloit by 10

No need to apologize.  Listen, I get crazy thoughts all the time.  Without someone looking over my shoulder, I even occasionally post them.  It happens.  The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes. You wanted to do something bold here.  Stupid, but bold.  I get it.  Hundreds of years ago, there were folks that thought Columbus was crazy to think the world wasn't flat.  Now, Dude's got cities named after him.  Of course, in this scenario, I'm Columbus.

This week:

Ripon @ Grinnell - Grinnel @ home in a close one.  (Hawk, you knew that was coming)
SNC @ Knox - SNC is pissed.  This one's big.  38+
Lake Forest @ IC - IC in a laugher.  I will be there to inspire.  45-14
Beloit @ Carroll - Carroll wins at home in a surprise.  Roop burns my shirt...

Game of the week:
Klein Freshman Broncos-30
Westfield Freshman Rams-0
It'd be worse, except the head coach is in Illinois...

[KnoxOnTheRise]

Ripon @ Grinnell - Ripon 42-17
SNC @ Knox - SNC 3-2
Lake Forest @ IC - IC 35-14
Beloit @ Carroll - Beloit 28-17

Game of the Week:
Monmouth @ Lawrence - Monmouth 28-24

[blu thru n thru]

Lake Forest @ IC - IC 35-14

The surest way to get those K's back in the positive is to keep showing you know what you're talking about.  Clearly a Knox education is more valuable than a Ripon education...

[The Roop]

Well I think that can of worms has been opened for the season. I'm staying out of it.

[Moncolfan]

No way does SNC allow a safety to Knox.  SNC 29-0.  By the way Blu you may as well come over to the MC tailgaiting section on the 25th and collect your bet ahead of time.  The 35pts I was givin ya isn't really looking too good

[Mr. Football]

Ripon @ Grinnell - Ripon 32-21  Pulls ahead in 4th qtr
SNC @ Knox - SNC 56-7   Very ugly quick as always
Lake Forest @ IC - IC 35-14  Good 1st qtr
Beloit @ Carroll - Beloit 28-7  Over at halftime

Game of the Week:
Monmouth @ Lawrence - Monmouth 17-7  Three Fr. take over this game (QB,RB and WR) and lets not forget the Defense.

Under the circumstances, it would be a hollow victory.  Besides, who's to say we won't encounter some difficulties.  Football's funny that way.  Let's revise it to make it interesting...  Any thoughts?  I ain't givin' you no points!   Good luck this weekend!

Oh, and save me the trouble of looking up the post.  What was the prize?  Again, the 70's was very tough on me...
