3 downs and a 110m field to encourage the passing game.

I admit I'm far from a technology expert but can't you block a text message? Monmouth 31
Wartburg 12

[Pat Coleman]

Not sure but also remember that rules tend to lag a couple years behind the technology.

Update for the all of Scottie Fans TM out there:  A Scottie-Sighting TM has now been upgraded to 75% for the Wartburg game.  (At least worth an extra +3 at Roop Vegas.)

Everybody knows it's RoopVegas. Maybe Old Navy made that post, not scottie.

Still trying to make the schedule work for a trip south next Sat. I see there is a designated tailgating area north of the stadium. Is this for visitors also? I know a couple of years ago at the playoff game we had to "negotiate" with a few of the rent-a-cops @  a parking lot a couple of blocks from the stadium. Thx

This new format has got my rods and cones all screwed up....

wartknight - As far as I know, the designated tailgating area is for both sets of fans.  Also, this area that was put into use last season is about a half-mile north of the stadium...so it is a little bit further of a walk than the parking lot where you were able to tailgate before the playoff game a couple years ago.

Two times when I was at Monmouth we used the tennis courts parking.  It had about 90% Wartburg fans and we partied just like we do at Wartburg.  The next two times (one Wartburg game and one St. Norbert game) we got directed to the parking lot west of the stadium.  It was at the Wartburg game where we had the confrontation with Barney Phife.  He didn't seem to think we should ignore the signs that thanked us in advance for keeping Monmouth a dry campus.

That was the same parking lot where we did our tailgating at for the last few years.  But starting last year, they moved the tailgating area to the designated spot that's a half-mile north of campus by Cavanaugh Motors...at least I'm pretty sure it was last year when that started.

Last year Grinnell, created some momentum early, and had their first plus .500 season in years... Are any of the lower end teams poised to do that this year? Also, are Beloit and Grinnell set up to drop back down after losing talented senior classes? (baratti, Christensen, Ross at bc, and Bradley and bogard at Grinnell)
