FB: Midwest Conference

Ahh. Yes, I did also have them missing a PAT. I try to check all of my predictions against kicker success tendencies. I ran out of time to do that this week but I did get the first half of the bracket.

Extra!  Extra!  Read all about it!!  HOLY COW, Pat picks Monmouth!  I thought I was having a stroke when I read that!!!   

Taking a quick look at all of the predictions, it would appear that this game is certainly one of the closest calls on the boards.  I think only Cal Lutheran vs. Linfield has a closer overall margin in the predictions.  I love MC in a toss-up and still back my analysis from a few days ago.  Can't wait!

Any word on tailgating regulations @ IWU?

You can find parking on the south and east sides of the Shirk Center.  Tucci Stadium sits directly behind Shirk.  To my knowledge, there are no regulations on tailgating, beverages, etc.  Enjoy your trip to IWU!

Not only did Pat pick Monmouth he chose the same score I did. As for the IC quarterback situation nobody is questioning the Bates kid or IC's depth chart. If anyone wants in on the joke go back to posts from last summer.

When Wabash played there two years ago, the visiting fans were directed to the parkling lot south of the stadium/field.  There are several "no alcohol" signs up but there was no hassle from anyone.  You should have no problems (but the parking lot is small). Get there early.

About time, he hasn't won since he went there. Good riddance.  Best of luck to the Scots and Blueboys tomorrow!

Nice feature on the website about IC. One note... this is NOT the Midwest Conference's first at-large bid. St. Norbert got into the tournament in 1989.

It IS the conference's first at-large bid since the tourney was expanded and the auto-bid extended. A nitpicky point to be sure, but worth mentioning the conference has earned such a bid previously.

[Pat Coleman]

All bids were at-large then -- the distinction is not particularly. Coe got into the tournament in the 16-team field as well, but those are not the circumstances we are talking about.

IC down 7-O early.  In following the online stats, I believe both teams went three and out to start and then on the third possession of the game, Wabash went 14 plays, 8Osome yards for a score.

[wnc52]

IC countered with their own long drive, but trail by a point as the XP was blocked.  Bates to Fricke for a two-yard TD pass was the scoring play.

[wnc52]

Not sure how much more I'll post as I'm having trouble getting the live feed to work consistently.  14-6 Wabash in the second quarter and they are close to scoring again--inside the IC 2O.

[TitanPride]

28-6 Wabash at half. Line of scrimmage being controlled by Little Giants. IC ball coming out.

Wabash takes out IC 38 20. IC just couldn't compete physically.
