Scottie, Tracy throws an interception and Scots can't take it to the house, did convert a 23 yrd Field Goal. Scots up 3-0

I'm on the WRAM (Monmouth A.M.) web cast. I thought the hearty Minnesotans could handle any weather problems and at least get a video stream out.

That is the UST radio link I am listening to. Crystal clear and no buffering.

A tale of two halves. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Deja vu all over again.

Tried to think of what to say... different game yet words held the same thoughts... No second half scoring against UST, again.

Hat's off to a Tommie's team that shut down our running game which limited our ability to get passing game going. Sounds like their big boys up front really pressured Tanney all day.

The Video failure by UST today was absolutely unexcuseable.

This is a serious question, so don't make fun of me as easy as I'm making it! Someone tried telling me yesterday that I had no idea how it felt to be Michigan having not beaten Ohio St. in seven years. I told that person, "Well, actually, I do..." and then tried to explain the "rivalry" between IC and Monmouth. I put rivalry in quotes because IC considers Monmouth their biggest rival, but Monmouth considers Knox their biggest rival. So, my question is, as embarassing as the answer is...when is the last time IC beat Monmouth? My guess is its around 1995, although I really don't know.

You have to go back to 1996 (15 years) to a 16 - 14 setback by Fighting Scots to Blueboys. The Scots scored 587 points to IC's - 215 over the last fifteen years.

Scot's lead series 39-10-2. Not a rivalry yet... in our eyes.

On another matter... Should IC's coach get let go (for reasons other than )for first loss in playoffs, Zook is available after being fired at Illinois after season's collapse and loss to Minnesota.

Checked Coe and IIAC sites without success for 2012 schedules. If WMOI announcers of the game yesterday are correct, MC will meet Coe in the first game of the season. If confirmed, Scots and Kohawks will meet for the 75th time!

In Division III Football:

1. 126 games - Williams v Amherst (1881)
2. 125 games - Albion v Kalamazoo (1896)
3. 123 Meetings in the Battle for the Bronze Turkey - Monmouth v Knox (1888)
5. 121 games - Coe v Cornell College (1891)

I'm not going to go into the "for reasons other than" much other than to say that other than the texting stuff, I still haven't heard ANYTHING about it other than cute phrases on this site. Can I ask where you got the stats and head-to-head record stuff, FightnScot77? Conference web page? Wouldn't mind looking up how IC stacks up against some of the other teams in overall head to head. I haven't been into the history of the conference much, just going back to when I played which was 98-O2.

Conference schools head-to-head numbers have been available over at the Ripon's website http://ripon.edu/athletics/football/records/rival.html. The SNC conference record is simply sick.

MWC all-time conference statistical information was last updated 1/2011; wouldn't be appropriate to accord link until posting of 2011 season numbers.

Speaking of things ahead...

Wouldn't be surprised to seeing discussions of Tanney #11 and Blodgett #17 uniform numbers being retired in short order!

Not much to say about the game except congrats to the Tommies. Heard a few what ifs and buts. from fellow MC fans but all of these things would have just added up to a closer game on the scoreboard but still a victory for UST. You could also argue the opposite, without the UST turnovers they could have scored a couple of more times. UST is just a better team on both sides of the ball. Two things that I think the Scots could have done is tackle better and despite the great Tommie D MC should have moved the ball with a bit more consistency. A few first downs would have helped keep the Tommie O off the field. Still is no shame in losing to a team like that ,and sorry IWU fans you would have faired no better. Sorry too to ST. John Fischer but I just don't see you pulling the upset next week. Finally congrats to the Scots on their MWC championship and exciting playoff win and good luck to the Tommies against Whitewater in two weeks. That game will be on TV won't it?

All Whitewater home games are produced by UWW TV on many cable systems in south/central WI and some in northern IL & streamed online. Links are on the UWW football website and are sure to be on D3football.com the week of the game, should both teams continue to win. Regardless who is playing, the NCAA has made the video available for all semi-final games the past couple seasons by streaming it online.
