Scotty,

What do you mean by GOY?

Maybe. . . "Game of the Year?"

Moncolfan,

Well put about the game and both defenses.  I will say that I listened to Purtill's post game interview with the TV crew and he was a class act.  He congratulated both teams on a hard fought game.  Congratulated Monmouth numerous times on the win and had nothing but good things to say.

That game could have been 28-3 win for either team.  Monmouth stalled out their offense numerous times and I really think they should have pushed the ball downfield more.  When they went one back or trips on one side, they had one on one on the backside plenty of times.  I think that SNC played a lot more zone than Monmouth expected.

On the other side.  I was very impressed with SNC offense and their quarterback.  Made some smart plays and ran the offense well.  I think they should have ran the ball more because Monmouth had a lot of linebackers out and I think they could have really just run the ball for three or four yards every time.

I would say that whoever was going to come out of that game with a win was going to feel pretty lucky.  I am glad it was the Scots.  Good luck to SNC the rest of the year.  Its really too bad that Monmouth couldn't get a win in the first game of the year.  This game made have given the MWC an argument for two teams in the tourney.

Warthog: Since you are basically auditing classes in the MWC this season,  ;D, what a big game coming up this week in the IIAC.  Is this the game to see who goes up against the MWC champion? 

The Wartburg/UD game will be big this weekend.  It isn't quite yet the game to see who gets to play Monmouth in the playoffs.  It is an elimination game for the Knights if Wartburg loses.  If Wartburg wins it potentially throws the league into a four way time for the lead.  Then it really becomes a confusing mess and the eventual automatic playoff bid will probably be unknown until the last game of the regular season is completed.  This traffic jam at the top also could translate to multiple losses for the conference's second playoff candidate which would likely give the IIAC only one participant in the big dance.

Question?  The new SNC is definitely beautiful.

I can't be sure, from the streaming video, but does the new staduim have a visitors seating area behind the opponents bench  -or not?

I remember several years ago ,at the old SNC stadium, Monmouth fans were moved by secrity officers , to the main grandstand.  I felt disrespected.

Hope that visitors parents and supportors have seating behind the opponent's bench in a new multimillion dollar facility.

Yes or no?

In the 2010 playoffs the MWC champions, SNC  played North Central Collge (Ill) at Napierville  ---not the Iowa Conference champions (Wartberg).. Also Coe played Wheaton.

SNC, Coe and Wartberg lost in the 1st round, if you recall.

Is Monmouth gonna pop the cork on the Pool A bid this week or will Ripon open up a 3-4 team tie breaker scenario ??

Looking at the pictures on the university's website it appears that there is only seating in the stadium structure itself on one side of the field.  However I haven't been there personally.

I doubt there will be any cork-popping in the Maple City this weekend.  As you know, the general rule of thumb in the MWC is that, until Beloit is mathematically eliminated, no team is safe.   :D

Moncolfan

Kilts- wasn't knocking coach just repeated what he said in the Green Bay paper- sounded like he thought they were the better team.  Agree with what you said except for the running game stats said 43 rushes 105 yards, not much of an average there-I realize sack yardage counts but even taking that in consideration their average was around 3 yards per carry.  The scots seem pretty intent on allowing the short pass, and buckling down in the red zone.  They haven't been burned by the long pass (except of course gm 1) and really no one has run with any consistency except Wartburg and that was only late in the game. All pretty good stats especially when you look at the difference in TOP.  Even when the Scots are scoring big their D seems to be on the field a lot longer.

Scottie, by the way ---St Thomas beat SNC by only 13 pts.  That is the closest margin of victory for the Tommies.  Maybe the MWC's 2 top teams should get more respect!

Thanks, boob.  Based on your 1:12 and 1:20 posts, I was curious who to give credit for your spelling acumen.  Go Sparty!

What's the GOW?  The blue at the green, or the "fighting bridesmaids" at the fighting scots?   :)

There is not seating behind the visitor's bench but it is possible to watch the game standing behind there. There's plenty of seating on the main side that having additional seating behind the visitors would be overkill.

SNC being out of the lead, major disappointment last week, 8 hr trip to Jacksonville...I'm not liking the matchup. Hopefully the D show up again, like last week, and takes care of the freshman QB.

Wrong Scottie.  Any writing skills I might or might not have are the results of being exposed to the English language classroom techniques (drill master techniques) used by several 6th through 8th grade nuns  at a Catholic grade school in Michigan.

Also it's "grboob" not boob

Scotty,

I don't believe I was at the Game of the Year, lol.  The Lake Forest/Caroll game was entertaining, but frustrating to watch.

I wish the Forester's would start to play with more emotion.  You see too many group tackles without anyone trying to strip the ball!  On offense how about pounding the ball!  Geez, 5 or 6 plays inside the 10 and you see 3 qb sneaks (scrums behind the O line) and 2 or 3 pass plays.  3rd and one on thier 30, 3 minutes left, down by 11, and a pass play where the qb gets sacked for a 10 yard lost.  Pack the line, and run the ball behind a fullback!  That will fire them up....

They've been in every game.  It's only a matter of time before they break through.  Maybe this week!

Okay, this is awkward......   ???
