Maybe in Fantasyland the Chosen Ones could beat Americas Team but the game is at Strong Stadium. Nutria have no chance there.

Dude- the further out you go, the futher the swim back.

I'm still here reading this nonsense   I am sitting back right now looking at were Ripon went wrong.  To be completely honest, the RC vs SNC game should never have mattered, RC should not have lost to MC or IC.  I understand the score board says different, but if you give the actually information of the game to an outsider, keep the score hidden, anyone will tell you that Ripon put up enough yards, clock management, and points to come out the winner.  Now the points argument obviously is what matters, but it's tough to look back at those two games and see the L's.  SNC just out played Ripon in every aspect of the second half.  So with that being said I wish IC the best of luck this week, sorry Roop, but I would rather see IC go to the play-offs then SNC.

I am still around here as well...just sitting back, reading the pages, and laughing through them.   Definitely some interesting things covered on the message boards late in the season.

Sorry Redhawk but I respectfully disagree.  The MC/Ripon game should have never went to OT. MC dominated the game for 50 of the 60 minutes. Ripon made ground in the last 5 minutes of each half. If not for a questionable personal foul call that gave the redmen a first down after failing to convert and a fumble that MC inside the ten, this could have been a  17pt win for MC. I know RC had their shares of miscues  that you could argue changed the game but c'mon what game were you watching? You were losing by 10 with six minutes to go and lucky at that and you should have won? Oh ya how many missed extra points did MC have that game? Was it a game you could have won sure-especially in OT but should have-no way.

You make a good point but the lake isn't that deep. The limit of Beloit getting upset at home has been reached. Not enough Nutria in the world to stop the inevitable.

I have to respectfully disagree. I did watch the game. MC couldn't stop RC's offense in the first half, but Ripon managed to fumble away 2 of (I think) their first 3 possessions. RC shot themselves in the foot all game and MC had some big breaks that included batted balls that were caught on third down, etc.

wOW. has THIS BOARD GONE DOWNHILL OR WHAT? 

The best thing stated was that all the fair weather fans have left the building.

We have recipes being passed. A zoo being stocked with exotic creatures.

We have sexual accusations.

We have a pick that Knox will beat Monmouth.

We even have someone stating that SNC totally dominated Ripon in all aspects of the game and proved that they were the better team. So what is their next statement? I am not going to root for the team that proved they were better than my team to represent our conference in the play-offs.

As the beer commercial says..... BRILLIANT!

Oh, and then the idea that a defense is still not any good even though they forced 2 fumbles in 3 possessions against Ripon.

Again....BRILLIANT!

And I really can't forget the game that should not have mattered since they should not have already lost a game. Come On. And none of the other teams should have lost to certain other teams.

Now I am waiting for the statement that Monmouth should really be awarded the conference championship even though they lost a tremendous player the 2nd game of the season. The rest of the losses should not have mattered.

Let's get back to recipes for chili or eggs Benedict or some useful chatter like that.

And the only thing I have left to say is concerning my own dribble of a post...... BRILLIANT!   

[The Roop]

Sexual accusations. When did that happen ??

[blu thru n thru]

Sexual accusations. When did that happen ??

Not here, man! I only alleged "romantic interest"... 

[The Roop]

I have a romantic interest in Jennifer Love-Hewitt (nice TX girl) but have never posted about it. Oh, guess I just did................ My bad for corrupting the board.

[The Roop]

FYI blu. Cell phones don't always work at Strong Stadium, titanium dome and all, so I may not be able to call you with updates of ICs thrashing by the Bucs.
