Monmouth @ Knox - MC (Game of the Week...because it's the Turkey Bowl)

Good luck Fighting Scots!   Keep the streak going! 

scottie - What are the percentages now that you will be around Galesburg tomorrow?  I hear fs13 will be in attendance.

The prospects are looking up!  I just got off the phone with Scottie Sr. and think I can lend him a hand in P-town during the morning hours and shove off in time to make it to the beginning of the massacre.  Somebody tell the Knox president that I'll need my parking spot back.

Turkey Bowl makes GOW?   I'm not feelin' it.  Do I got this right?  MC's big rivalry game is Knox?  And you get a trophy for it?  Isn't that like my Horns making Rice their big game?  I mean, except for this year.

Parking space? Scottie, you drive?

Monmouth and Knox are about 20 miles apart.  If that.

The Knox players don't get work release so their home games are played on the grounds of Hill Correctional Center.

LET'S PLAY SOME FOOTBALL

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

Who needs football?  I have some great Chili Relleno recipes...

Week 9:

Grinnell @ Carroll – No way Carroll overlooks any team capable of defeating The Chosen People.  Carroll 28 – GC 13

Ripon @ Lawrence – RC, looking to salvage a season that once held great promise, re-commits to running game and gains 943 yards rushing and controls 48:31 of the clock.  But fumbles, suspect officiating, and the clock running out limits them to 7 points.  Larry on their 3 possessions, finds the end zone once.  LU's other score comes on the recovery of a bad pitch taken to the house.  But still misses the XP.  RC fan leaves happy as the statistical win gives them much to celebrate and reaffirms their belief the the triple-option is the offense to carry them to the future...  LU 13 – RC 7  

Lake Forest @ St. Norbert – Forfeit for SNC.  LF gets lost.  Can't find DePere, but has a great time touring Lambeau.  SNC 2 – LF 0

Monmouth @ Knox - No way a mismatch of this proportion is GOW.  Get real.  Does MC even bring the trophy to the game?  Sorry KotR, I'd love to see y'all pull this one out, but y'all may need to find a new rival for the time being.  MC 48 – Knox 10

GOW

Illinois College @ Beloit – (How was this not GOW? Heck, it should be hosting College Gameday!)  About all we need to know about the anticipated, and eventual, outcome of this game is that "Americas Team's" # 1 fan won't even show for it.  Clearly a white flag if I've ever seen one.  (Remember, excuses are like belly-buttons.  Everyone has one.)  IC needs no excuse, but bet the RoopVegas "under".  Blueboy Nation 40 – Americas Team 17

LFC may end up at Minahan or Lambeau - but forfeits are 2-0.

[scottie]

Scottie's motorcade is leaving and the detail should arrive at some point during the first quarter. The officials need not halt the game upon my arrival; just play on. Will provide in-game updates within a four touch spread.

Corrected.  Even though I don't think it will impact the RoopVegas line...

[gbpuckfan]

I will provide updates from the battle of NFL training camps. The lawn is done and should be a nice day - although perhaps crisp - for football.

[The Roop]

The wood shed at Strong Stadium has been prepared and Illinois College has been given directions to it.

[gbpuckfan]

Nice LFC drive to start stalls at 4th and 2 at SNC 10.

[gbpuckfan]

End of 1. SNC/LFC tied 0-0. LFC picking up yards in chunks.

[hickory_cornhusker]

Carroll up 27-0 at halftime.

[gbpuckfan]

43yard flea flicker for TD. 7-0 SNC with 9:44 left first half
