Does SNC indeed control its own destiny?

Sit down everyone........... Lawrence 29 Beloit 23.

Sloppy game on both sides as there were more penalties than plays from scrimmage I think. The Lawrence defense was tremendous all game and I congratulate them.

Beloits CJ Yoakum left the field under his own power but was later taken away by ambulance. I hope all will be well with him.

I believe they have just clinched.

[gbpuckfan]

Clinched? What if SNC loses and IC wins? They could end tied but IC would win head to head, right?

I think, but am not sure, that a SNC is enough w/o help. But a loss would open the door ... ?

[The Roop]

IC lost today

IC is @Beloit next week so they can't possibly win.

LWLWLWLWL has been the story of the Beloit season. Next in line is a W.

Well, good.

While I appreciate the confidence in SNC's ability to beat LFC, you still have to play the games. Iowa's up 37-0, so anything can happen...

[The Roop]

It's a win and you're in thing for the Green Knights right now. Kind of a make up for last years snubbing by the NCAA.

You can use numerology if you want, but I have tea leaves and a Ouija board that beg to differ...

[The Roop]

Beg all they want but I have both as well.

Americas Team 38, Chosen Ones 14.

I don't think the Rams liked their new friends at the IIAC playground, so now they want to take their ball and go home.

As it comes to football, I'm not exactly sure what Cornell thinks it will gain by returning to the MWC.  My experience watching Wartburg play Monmouth and St. Norberts over the last few years is that the upper level MWC teams are similar to Wartburg, Central, Coe etc.  So the Rams get their butts kicked in the IIAC or the MWC; what's the difference?

In basketball Cornell has done well the last couple years and in wrestling they've been respectable for quite a long time.  

Apparently, even in D3, football is the straw that stirs the drink.  I'm convinced Cornell didn't make a total committment to get better in football while residing in the IIAC.  If they think their approach will work by moving back to the MWC, I'm affraid they will be mistaken (at least when playing the upper tier teams)

I didn't think of this but what is Cornell planning to do with their wrestling team? Wrestling was a sport in the MWC when Cornell and Coe left in 1997 but not anymore. I highly doubt the IIAC would allow them to keep their wrestling team in the conference nor do I blame them. And Cornell just can't get rid of wrestling. As an Iowa school that is sacrireligious (although Grinnell is in Iowa and doesn't have wrestling).

Prior to dropping their wrestling program Lawrence competed in the WIAC. It would certainly be an oddity to have an Iowa team in there but I don't think there is anything, bylaw-wise, that would prevent the WIAC from accepting them.

Cornells problem is the fact that they never should have left in the first place. Sure, they were a football power at the time but this isn't your fathers MWC anymore. If they are looking for immediate success perhaps they should knock on the NathCons door.
