So. Everyone wants it. But which team will stand up and take it.

What does it matter? Which ever one does will get monkey (donkey for those in Texas) stomped in the first round of the playoffs.

No offense intended I just wanted to get in on the smackdown going on.

GO WARHAWKS

While history is certainly in your corner, it's a new day with a new world order. What all are about to learn is that we've been sending ladies in to do a BOY'S job!

I will most certainly be at the game this Saturday in Jacksonville and I think it will be a fairly good game, although in all honesty I don't think our boys have it in them to beat IC quite yet. Our defense is going inverse this year (they can actually defend the pass decently but can't stop the run to save their lives). Anyways, if Knox wins out do we still have a chance at the conference title? Ha, probably not, but it sure will be nice to beat Monmouth to spoil their chances! Ripon, Carroll, and St. Norbert: We prairie fires are on your side!
How cool would it be if Carroll pulled off the conference championship?

Not cool at all!!!

We all know the color most illustrative of "cool" is BLUE! Now that's cool!

Look for the RV with the IC Blueboy banners flying proudly. It'll be in a small parking area at the end of the field furthest from the school. (Note that despite the beverage obsticles, we still have enough sense to conveniently locate tailgating activities.) That smell will be ribs! Done Texas style cuz, everybody knows we don't play around when it comes to cooking meat! (We'll leave the cheese preparation to those from WI.) I'll be wearing a Blueboy hardhat. (There may be two of us sporting the hardhats, but I'm the better looking one. The other guy is from Florida. I really don't know about those folks from the "Sunshine" state (if you know what I'm sayin')

Hope to see you... I'll have a blue cup waitin'

Knox, you were doing fine right to the last statement. That would not be cool at all.

This is D3 EFFORT at its best. I can not take credit.

That is a great pic, SNCOLDAD. Did #26 (the DB?) tip the ball? It looks like the ball has changed alignment. I assume the white jersey player (WR?) caught the ball for a TD - looks like he's right on it if he stayed in bounds. That official looks very intense!!

The photographer should be happy to be in the right place at the right time.

That photo is awesome. I was jumping back-and-forth from the RC-MC game and that one and was fortunate enough to see that play. Great catch in a big game. Doesn't get much better

Speaking of viewing the games on line. Saturday was my first time to do it. I had a lot of issues with the video portion of the feed. Mostly still shots with a good audio feed from the announcer. I have very good speed on the home network. My questions are: Is this common? Was I the only one? It did get better when I shrunk my screen down to about 2" x 3", but that shouldn't impact tha, should it? Anyway, if there's a secret, please let me know.

I have the same issue, it really depends on the home team's equipment. When I watched the RC @ GC game, it was horrible, however when I watched the RC home games, every once in awhile it will still frame on me. I also watched the MC @ LU game and it was good. So I really think it has to do with the home teams equipment...

Hey Blu -it seems you are a bit more active on the board this weeks than in the past few. Wonder why? Oh ya probably because your Longhorns didn't lose this weekend.

After watching the game on Saturday it looks like SNC should be a 60+ point favorite when they play Ripon in a few weeks.

Anyway getting back to the Scots pretty impressive performance when you look at the number of young players that were playing on both sides of the ball for them. I think at one time I counted five freshman on the offensive side of the ball- thats was probably as many or more than even made the travel team last year. With this youth comes inconsistency-and I know you can't possibly compare this recruiting class to IC"s but I think the future is looking pretty good for the Scots.

Could somebody post the current conference standings- and does anyone know the tiebreaker for a four-way tie. I just can't keep up with it!

I haven't seen the current rules but according to the 2007 or 2008 MWC Football handbook the tiebreaker go:
1) Head-to-head
2) Conference quarters lead
3) Coin flip

Doesn't matter, there won't be a 4 way tie.......

SNCOLDAD · October 12, 2010, 11:44:17 AM

I am not going to try to figure out all the permutations and combinations. We can get a math major to do that. What I will say is SNC has their 2 losses in conference for the season. Where that leaves the rest, get the math major.

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

SNC must have been a 70+ point favorite when they played IC then...

Thats why they play the games.
