FB: Midwest Conference

[SNCOLDAD]

You will find that some schools do not travel very well in support of their team. What will really throw you off is how some schools don't even show up for home games.

What SNCOLDAD means, but is too polite to say, is that if the visitors section fills up there will be plenty of seats available on the Beloit side. 2 briskits will be plenty unless Dillon Hess comes from a big family that makes the trip north of Conroe.

I thought DAD was referring to the overpacked SNC library on Saturday afternoons.....

Admittedly my experience is limited but from what I've seen St Norberts brings some of the largest contingencies of fans to away games.  The crowds they've brought when they've played at UW-W are easily among the largest that we've seen including our significant conference rivals.  They travel really well.

Not with the new stadium scottie. And Roop, Knox was right there with your team as far as fans.

I have to say the excitement around SNC with this new stadium is awesome. Not just for football, but that is huge right now.

Thanks for the comment warhawk. I am really proud to be a part of the traveling group. It is interesting to see SRO on the visitors side and very few fans on the home side at some of the venues.

My Pics this week.  Blu - Good Game last week... 

Grinnell 35- Lake Forest 10 - Grinnell is WAY better then Lake Forest, LF might not win a game.
Lawrence 10 - St. Norbert 42 - I think that it might end being higher, but I'll give LU a chance..
Knox - 17 - Beloit 28
IC 24 - MC 17

Game of the Week
Carroll 27 - Ripon 49 - Carroll Puts some points on the board, but can't stop Ripon's O and Special Teams....  Easy pic for GOW, only undefeated teams in left playing each other!!  Also RC's Homecoming!

[The Roop]

Ripon-Carroll is going to be more like 17-14. (Pick your own winner) Not sure why so many have suffered head injuries this week and are predicting a high scoring affair but please wake up and smell the Saints Rest Coffee.

Beloit needs to put up 70 on Knox or they should join the UMAC. Not sure if Grinnell can score 35 but they are playing Lake Forest. I like the 42-10 SNC-LU score.

IC rolls Monmouth by 3 scores. Tanney or not the Scots graduated too many O-linemen and this year was going to be suspect. I believe I said that at the end of last season.

My Pics this week.  Blu - Good Game last week... 

Yeah, it was all me...   LF's best player was there punter.  He could really change the field.  We had about 275 rushing, I think.  We moved it well, but seemed to have trouble in the red zone.  LF could have taken better advantage of the way we were playing their receivers.  They had some fast receivers, but truly not as fast as we were making them look.  We didn't appear to be respecting their QB's ability to go over the top.  Particularly in the first half, it seemed as though they kept getting past us.  It forced our DB's to play catch-up with their backs to the ball.  LF came a short red curly one from being up 14-13 at the half...

Second half was much better.  I texted the coach all the halftime adjustments they needed.  Only in response to his asking me for my oh so valuable opinion.  That got things squared away...   I'm a little shaky about my pick this week. With me not being there, and all...

[The Roop]

Your not being there is why they win by 3 scores.....................

Chili for all! +K!  Roop, your insight into this league continues to astound. Your like a D3 savant...

Can't argue that!  Even my pee-wee team knows it! Nevertheless, NO CHILI FOR YOU!

[The Roop]

I'm not an expert on the Monmouth situation. Some call it graduation, others say ineligible. You'd have to ask Scottie for an off the record definition.

Roop, that would be +K AND -K, respectively.   

[The Roop]

That makes sense scottie. I'm just like Fox news. Fair and balanced.
