[The Roop]

There's always Sul Ross St. too. Although that would be like beating Monmouth.

[blu thru n thru]

You're right, Blu.  (Temporarily waiting for lightning to strike me down on the spot for saying that....) . There's just so much Bull on this board that I get carried away sometimes.

No worries.  I've called off the lightning strike.  It's been reassigned to Roop for his sacrilegious Sul Ross remark.  But then again: sun comes up in the east, sets in the west.  You're born, you die.  Roop logs in, pot-stirring incendiary nonsense comes out.  You see the pattern, right???  As for all the BS on the board, what else do we got?  Basketball?  Thanks, but no.  Gotta log off.  Got a manifesto to write... 

[Moncolfan]

Hey after watching with other the NCC /St. Norbs game a couple things were clear.  Our conference still has a long long way to go to be competitive come playoff time (although we really just should have sent Carroll despite their record). And it appears that the officiating in the playoffs isn't much better than what there is in the regular season.  I mean three-four of those penalties against NCC were just plain bogus. I don't care what the score is bad calls are just plain bad calls. It just makes you wonder what the score would have been   

[Redhawk Sighting]

I agree Moncolfan..  That game just set the MWC back even further on ever getting 2 teams into the playoffs.  What that game showed was that the MWC this year was balanced, there wasn't a team that really over powered the conference, IC grew, no question.  It's going to always be tough for a MWC team to come into the playoffs and have to play such a high ranked school for the first round.  I wasn't able to watch the game, but the score did suprise me a little, I thought/hoped that SNC would have made a game out of it(at least in the first half).  So I stand on my post from the beginning of the season, on how we can get an at large bid, and this year we did not prove ourselves as a conference.  This is in no way a dig on SNC.  So to the MWC players, hit the weights, agility work, and get ready for what I beleive will be a tough MWC in 2011.  My Predictions for 2011 is as follows:

1.RC -
2.SNC
3.MC
4. Carroll
5. IC
6. Grinnell
7.Beloit
8,9,19 - Knox/LF/LU (who cares )

I'll concede the nonsense argument to you blu but I do take objection to the incendiary part. You have a theory but no proof. I'm not that flammable.

Your inflamabilitiness will not be a factor when the lightning strikes...

[The Roop]

You passed the lightning strike responsibility over to me. Do you honestly think I would target myself??

No Sir. I directed the lightning strike at you. Under no circumstances would I ever arm you.

[The Roop]

Your wording could be taken a couple ways so I think we may need legal counsel on that one. Has UT inked a deal with Sul Ross yet. We'll call it the akademik bowl.

[The Roop]

Maybe. I still think if Beloit doesn't commit 85 penalties and drop 20 passes they beat Ripon by two scores.

They graduate quite a few at key positions so next year we will see how much depth they have. For now I can't argue with Redhawk Sightings 7th place prediction.

[Moncolfan]

All I know is that MC is really losing only two -three starters from this years team. Injuries are part of the game.  Ripon fans you are more than entitled to your own opinions but for those of you that actually thought Ripon should have won conference in 08 or 09 you are living in fantasy land.  Until an MWC team either knocks off a highly rated opponent, or a team advances past the second round an at large bid is just a dream

[blu thru n thru]

Moncol- +K for accepting and stating reality. 

Hawkage- Dude?  Seriously, if my aunt had nuts, she'd be my uncle.  Send me your mailing address so I can send you a crying towel.  Lord, Son!  Nobody cares.  Injuries are part of the game. There's nobody on this board who doesn't have "key injuries" to claim as cause of their team's shortfall.  Like everyone, RC lines up the best they've got (available) against their opponents best (available), the game gets played and the results, posted. 

What's it gonna be next year when IC pimp-slaps you at home?

[The Roop]

If I pull off the transfers I'm working on you won't be an IC fan next year.

Ripon was 5:00 min away from winning conference in '08, so very much a reality there.  '09 was a different story.

You're working on blu's son to transfer to Beloit?!
