FB: Midwest Conference

[fulbakdad]

You probably want to count up the quarters before you start cheering for them.  If they are ahead, you'll want LFC to win, so your one loss is against the highest rated team it can be for the Pool C bid....

BTW, I have no idea how many quarters you or SNC have led.

[TitanPride]

I just looked it up quarters led for IC.  If both IC and St. Norbert win this week, I'll research St. Norbert and Lake Forest (don't want to jinx anything..ha).

Thus far, IC has led after 27 of 28 possible quarters.  The one other quarter being the 4th against Lake Forest.  Looking through the box scores, I believe IC has led or been tied in every single minute of the season except for the last 1 minute and 12 seconds against LF. 

Again, assuming both SNC and IC win this week, week 11 will feature the top 4 teams in the conference squaring off for all the marbles.  Should be fun final two weeks.

First set of regional rankings come out this afternoon.  Here are my projections for the West:

                               SOS   Results against Regionally Ranked teams
1   Linfield           7 0   1   W @ Cal Lutheran; W @ Pac Lutheran; W vs. Williamette
2   UW Oshkosh   8 0   19   None
3   St. Thomas     8 0  64   W vs. Bethel
4   Coe              8 0   87   None
5   Bethel           7 1   22   L @ St. Thomas
6   Cal Lutheran   6 1   82   L vs. Linfield
7   Con. Morehead   7 1   30   L @ Bethel
8   Lake Forest       7 1   65   None (Loss at Concordia-Chicago who should be ranked in North)
9   Pacific Lutheran   5 2   9   L vs. Linfield
10   Willamette           6 2   4   L @ Linfield

Sorry for the formatting.

Boy it's gonna be weird not watching LFC play this weekend.  But I'm sure they are appreciating the rest and extra time to get ready for next week.

Week 10

Beloit at Carroll - CU
Cornell at Illinois C. - IC
Lawrence at Knox - LU
Monmouth at Ripon - MC
St. Norbert at Grinnell - SNC

Good luck Fighting Scots!

[TitanPride]

Looking forward to seeing Cornell for the first time today.  Hoping Flores plays -- I know he has been banged up the last couple weeks.  Will be keeping tabs on the St. Norbert vs. Grinnell game too.  Go Blueboys and Green Knights!

Illinois College 45  Cornell 28
St. Norbert 21  Grinnell 17

[fulbakdad]

End of the first at Grinell.  Grinell up 6-0.

[Ash Park]

IC 8 Cornell 7. Flores is playing...still doesn't look 100% but I think he gives them a better chance even a little banged up. He has made a couple nice throws but a few where it looked like his injury was bothering him a little bit. IC looks very athletic. This could be a shootout. GO Rams!

[Ash Park]

End of 1st Q Cornell 14 IC 8. IC is driving the ball. The RB for IC is a stud..Cecil Brimmage?? (spelling?)

[Ash Park]

Cornell 21 IC 15 midway throught the 2nd Q

[fulbakdad]

End of the first half at Grinell.  Norberts scored a TD with 2 minutes left and hit the extra point.  SNC 7- Grinell 6.  Grinell playing spirited defense.....

[scottie]

Good Guys up 26-15 at half over Ripon.

[Ash Park]

IC 29 Cornell 21 Halftime. IC has missed some opportunities and Cornell has shot themselves in the foot a few times on KOR and have had horrible starting position a few drives because of that.

[fulbakdad]

Grinell kicks a 40 yard field goal to go up 9-7

[scottie]

Big run by Yocum followed by punching it in.  33-15 Scots.  Four TDs, FG and Safety = zero punts so far for the Good Guys.
