FB: Midwest Conference

Roop-

I am not thrilled where we are at now...with Coach Ed...you had an identify and Beloit would challenge the top teams in the conference....

The talk with the new coach was he was a recruiter....
where are the numbers???...
Beloit needs to demand more!

Examples:
See St. Norberts: Coach Purtill
See MC: Coach Bell

The right guy makes a BIG difference!

[The Roop]

Too many variables involved that I don't know what question to ask the grapevine first. All departments at Beloit are pretty much under review at the moment so we will just have to take a wait and see stance.

With Tanney and Blodgett gone, how will the Fighting Scots supplement Yocum?

I didn't get to see the game because I had to work and don't get any of those channels anyway. I checked the Beloit website but since it only contains akademik stuff, so there was no mention of the game performances. Tanney has the better chance of getting drafted than does Carrier as teams always look for QBs first. However, in my opinion, Carrier has the better chance of making an NFL roster as teams need more WRs than QBs.

Since Green Bay is likely to throw Donald Driver under the bus and not resign him, I say offer Carrier an invite to camp and he'll make the team as an undrafted free agent. That will give The Roop a 3rd party connection to free tickets; which is all that matters.

Having seen him play I like Tanney obviously. I just don't know if his first step is quick enough to avoid the pass rush at the next level. The arm is there, the accuracy is there but I'm not sure if the ability to get out of the way is there.

Forget the quick first step!  Give him a clipboard for about 10 years.

Anybody got any news on how Alex Tanney's pro day went at Northwestern?

[91mc49]

I just read this the other day

http://blogs.monm.edu/tanney/

so it looks like he has yet to work out for the pro teams.

Yeah I saw that but he worked out supposedly at Northwestern in front of some pro teams per his Twitter.
