FB: Midwest Conference

[The Roop]

Hold on now, I thought valet parking was a requirement for membership in the MWC. Domed stadiums optional.

[blu thru n thru]

Yeah!  Me too.  That's what they tell you in the brochures and on the recruiting visits.  But then you get there and it's like "You want me to park what?"  It's kinda like when I got married.  But I digress...

As for the dome, I think somethin's up there too.  It's taken an awefully long time to complete that construction.  I'm just not seein' the progress.  And they tell me each weekend that I'm there, that they move the construction equipment off campus for; you guessed it; tailgating.  I sense I'm being played.  Your thoughts???

Don't even get me started on the hi-def Jumbotron...

Me? Nothing.  The Blueboys? Score at least one more point than America's Team, duh!  Man, sometimes you make this too easy.  

[Mr. Ypsi]

Forgive him folks. He means well but is the new guy after all. 

Pardon my irrelivant banter....

You are correct that my tenure is not the equal of yours.  However, umbrage has been taken with your failure to acknowledge the well documented expertise on all topics...

Next subject, please!

Like predicting all seven of the Blueboys' four victories!

(Just pullin' your chain, blu - I tend to predict more wins for IWU than they end up winning: it is the job of a fan! )

I'm sure the BlueBoys want to do that but Rooptownshireville College isn't likely to score -1

You have to rank home and away facilities for tailgating. Knox home is nice. I personally liked SNC tailgating at the OLD Minnehan stadium. Grass and close. No restrictions. Knox is not bad but the visitors are not allowed this year in the grass area east of the stadium. Monmouth this year. NO COMMENT!!!!!

SNC this year. Very close. Parking lot at stadium but they seem to be wanting to take the fun out it with all sorts of piss a$$ nonsense rules. But very handy.

Grinnell OK except hike to stadium. Same with Lake Forest. Lawrence is OK again if you can find it.

I guess I would say it is a toss up between Beloit and SNC with Beloit getting my vote if it is rainy at all, but SNC in good weather.

When you come to Ripon next weekend, the black-top lot towards the top of the field in the picture is a prime location for pre-game activities.

I don't know what youre talking about.  We haven't lost a single game.  We just ran out of time before our rally kicked in...

Thanks 09. Is that designated for visitors or all tailgaters?

[The Roop]

What's the point. Ripon just got their last win of the season so who's going to a game there now??

[Redmen09]

Designated for all tailgaters home and away.  On the south side of the lot is the "Red Zone". Havent been there this year so I dont know how strong the following is, but considering its a huge game I would expect a turnout.  Down the road a little more at the middle school there is tailgate room, but usually just parked cars.  That is the only game I can make tailgating this year so if there is some "Blu" cooking going on I will let you in on the location, and vice versa I hope.

I could be wrong but isn't Ripon @IC this week ??

[Redmen09]

On the topic of home tailgating locations.  Last chance for some "home cookin" next week so Im getting excited

[blu thru n thru]

You are correct, Sir!  Ripon is our victim this weekend.   The good news: My kid's the scout team QB.  He's been able to work on his running skills.  The IC coaches asked him to slow down to give a more realistic look...    So I get a call from my kid and he says, "Dad, have you ever heard of this Triple-option thing???  Did teams run that when you were a kid?  I took off my facemask to get the full retro effect." 

Redmen, you making the trip this weekend?  I didn't think so, but I'm not sure by your post. 

[Redmen09]

Blu, Im not making the trip to IC this week, I forgot to book my plane ticket ahead of time.  Maybe your son is a true option quarterback and he just never knew it?  Its never to late to join the Real Americas Team
