FB: Midwest Conference

[Redmen09]

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
Ripon at Illinois College-----UPSET SPECIAL!!!------IC 27-24

Game of the Week
Monmouth at Beloit------------------------------MonmNOPE! Beloit 28-27

I think thats the first time you've picked Knox to win in your picks

[Redmen09]

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. _____ 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???

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

Are you talking about web broadcasts or the Blu Boy defense? 

[SNCOLDAD]

whoooooaaaaaaaaaa! +K for that one.   

[The Roop]

Is delusional the only big word that is taught on the Ripon campus ?? Typically I'm more obsequious than that but I think it's a fair question given all the theories about me recently. 

Look at the remaining schedules, do the math and you will see that Beloit is not done yet. NASA is still calculating the probability and hasn't given me odds but Americas Team is still alive.

Nah, I picked us to beat Wash U and Larry. I was gonna pick us to beat Grinnell but I didn't want to get laughed at by those mean monmouth boys again    Idk I just have a good feeling about this week, we've been playing a lot better on both sides of the ball and have not given up a special teams touchdown yet. This year has just been crazy with the conference being flipped up down and around every week or 2.

I think Beloit will win out (@ Monmouth, vs Larry, @ IC) but will that be enough to win conference?

[The Roop]

You've got Americas Team schedule backwards KOTR. It's vs. Monmouth, @Lawrence and then the game of the century vs. Illinois College.

A certain poster has suggested that there will be a mud hole stomping on the Buccaneers Nov. 6th. Well, the chosen people are welcome to buy towels at the concession stand so that they may dry their tears after the beat down they just received.

I'll kick blu all around the stadium and then we will go have pizza and forget about it.

First of all, if you're going to use it, I think it should be "Chosen People".  Capitalized as a proper name.  But to that end, we prefer "Blueboy Nation".  Either is okay, though. 

There is no crying in football.  Oh, nevermind, upon further review of you posts immediately following the RC game, I guess there is.  At least a little bit...  I think it's time to scrap the entire Beloit athletic program.  A new direction is in order.  I know just the man for the job! But nobody has solicited my expertise on that subject, anyway.

Loser buys the pizza... 

Oh, Roop!  Just thought I'd let you know that the mighty Klein Freshman Broncos (6-0-1) are layin' 6 to their arch rival Klein Texans (5-1-1) this weekend. Take the Broncos and give the points.  I'm pretty confident they'll cover.

You're really going to compare a Beloit education to a Ripon education?  That cracks me up....  Now Roop, I do have one question for you...  What is your relationship to Beloit?  Son/Daughter?  Alum? I am not sure if I have ever really known this answer..

I was introduced to a past student of a high school in extreme southern Wisconsin. At that time he was very active in sports and went on to college. He did NOT attend a Midwest Conference school. When I told him where my son went to school, his comment was the Ivy League of D3. I think that says a lot about all the schools in the MWC.

Was he drinking?  Did he go to a tech school and wasn't sure what was being spoken?  Just curious, I would have a few other schools that I would put in place of SNC and non of them are in Wisconsin or Ill...

[scottie]

......Hear that sound?  It's a can of worms being opened.....    

[Kilts and Bagpipes]

Wow...don't check the boards for a while and things get ugly.

I agree...I think that the MWC is a great "school" conference.  I always talk about schools in the conference to other people and nobody says anything about sports, but they do say things about the education.

Also, I can't believe the talk about MC's chances of making the playoffs isn't even an option for some of you.  Play this one out...

Ripon loses to IC at IC.  That one's for you Blu.
Ripon beat St. Norbert.  3 losses for SN and 2 losses for RC
MC wins out.

Your top three are
MC 7-2
RC 7-2
SN 6-3

Monmouth wins the tie breaker in head to head vs RC.

Monmouth plays UWW or the Tommies again.

Either way, the prize for winning the conference is going to be a whoopin in the playoffs.  Doesn't matter who wins.

Just a fan. I've had that question a few times on the basketball board but never told the story here. It goes something like this.........................

I was 7 years old (1972) and had just gotten home from school on a Thursday afternoon. As I went in the house mom asked if I wanted to see a Beloit College football game that Saturday. My response. "You mean we can still get tickets........." At that age I didn't know the difference between Beloit and the University of Wisconsin, just that it was college football and I was excited.

Needless to say I got hooked and basketball games followed. Football wasn't exactly going anywhere then but the basketball team was on the rise and it became a priority.
