FB: Midwest Conference

[The Roop]

While an IC win does benefit Americas Team, playoff chances aren't mathematically dead, I'm not ready to join the Blueboy Nation at this time. Just because it's taking on water, in Titanic proportions, I can't abandon the Buccaneer Ship just yet.

[blu thru n thru]

Blu ~ I voted no... Figured there was no reason for  you to lose your voice at all.....  Does that sound like a good excuse? 

I hear ya, Roop.  I gave the K just for the logic applied.  Of course, this weekend, he'll be cryin' the blues (no pun intended) for the shoddy treatment of his Red Hawks at the hands of the Blueboys.  There's still time to join Blueboy Nation.

I was waiting for this.  For me this is such a great game.  It's an opportunity for you to watch(on your computer screen) the option ran properly and also it's a great opportunity for me to smile after the W....  So Blu it starts today!!!!!

I'm having Joe Namath flashbacks!  Bring it!

[SNCOLDAD]

I will be checking with others much smarter than I in matters such as this....

But I believe this week I am a RIPON FAN!   

Of course that will all change next week.   

But as they say....and as this conference dictates this year...... One Week At A Time.

IC just won its 400th game. 31-23

Pretty exciting finish, sorry I never got over to you, I got there a little late and had to leave right away but it was a good game, I do have to ask though, how did IC beat St. Norbert?? I mean we got whipped by em, and in all honesty we kicked butt Saturday, too bad for the 81 yd fumble recovery for a touchdown that killed us. At least we didn't give up and made a pretty good comeback. We really need to work on our kicking game, missed xp and missed short field goal. All well, if your gonna lose might as well lose to a team that you like right? Btw, why are all announcers in the conference terrible? I mean IC's wasn't all that bad, actually probably one of the better ones, but none of them are good, our's is probably the worst. Just a question though.

[KnoxOnTheRise]

I'm gonna start the picks a little early this week.

Carroll at Knox (Homecoming!!!!)-------------------Knox 21-14
Grinnell at St. Norbert------------------------------SNC 49-14
Lawrence at Lake Forest--------------------------LFC 38-35

Game of the Week

Shame on you. Ripon can't win again or Beloit is out of playoff contention. What were you thinking with a comment like that ??

[SNCOLDAD]

And??? Come on Roop. Keep thinking........You can get it.........

How did St. Norbert do in their conference opener again ?? <insert crickets chirping>

I'm not 100% on how Grinnell factors in but if a mere 11 things happen, in order, Beloit goes to the playoffs.

Knox- Y'all did surprise me. We came out flat.  As I related to someone else, your QB is a good athlete.  However, if he had to throw the ball > 20 yards down field, it was a duck.  Fortunately for him our DB's provided lots of room for those ducks to land.  Our failure to close on the ball was a bit alarming.  Fortunately, Ripon still refers to it as "the forward pass"...  I've heard that with Ripon coming to town, IC is promoting "Leather Helmet Day".  Should be fun.

Y'all converted way too many 3rd and longs.  It was a gutsy performance for the Prarie Fire.  Much respect.  

Actually, I think our announcer is pretty darn good.  He really adds some fun to the game.  Don't know how the others are, but I enjoy the call of the game at IC.  Especially when I hear "And that's another Blueboy firsssst downnnn!"

Sorry we didn't get to meet up.

All this selfishness is getting a bit troubling.  When I try to figure out who needs to do what in order for (insert team) to wear the crown, my head starts hurting and I get a nose bleed.  Here's what I recommend to all.  Close your eyes and just think about what's best for the conference.  And that's simple.  The Blueboys, and the rise of Blueboy Nation.  Admittedly a bit premature, as I was thinking more next year than this one, but I could live with it.  I think we'd all benefit from it. So let's stop all this nonsense and start pulling in the same direction.

[Redhawk Sighting]

So much delusion on this board.  Roop you are hanging on to tight, I'm afraid what you might do once the it really sets in that Beloit is done...

Now as for the SNC game..................... Well we'll discuss that next week, this week we'll just "worry" about IC.  Now Blu, you might need to wear a leather helmet to keep from banging it against your desk while trying to figure out where the ball is..  It might be old school, but it's old school that has kept Ripon in the top 3 for a LONG time and has lead the conference in total yards.  Throwing the ball is not as exciting as running it and not knowing which 3 players have the ball.  I might be a little bias to the TRIPLE option.......   I will not be doing picks this week, because the only game that matters is the RC vs IC game.....  And we'll just have to wait till 4pm on Saturday to see how that game goes...  

[The Roop]

You're right. If Beloit gets eliminated I'll probably do something really crazy like having another beer and wait for baskball season. I'm dangerous and reckless like that.

Yeah, maybe you'd better wait 'til next year to say the Blueboys would be best for the conference.  Would it really be good for the MWC if the conference champ lost by 11 at home to a Millikin team who is 0-3 in the CCIW?!

[SNCOLDAD]

IF Beloit is knocked out? Roop, Roop, Roop! These delusions you are having are incredible.

And blu. I hope you are not going to watch your game this weekend on web TV. You will never see the ball when Ripon is on offense. Web TV is too slow and too small

And Roop, I may just have to join you on the basketball board this year. Just for chuckles.

Anyone else want to join me to discuss D3 Hockey???
