Crazy day in Lake Forest.  Lake forest scored wth winning touchdown with 4 minutes left and hung on through a wild lightning storm delay for a 14-13 win against Carroll.  I'll post a recap after I unwaterlog!

Ok, Ok, I know I had a few adult beverages on Saturday.....

And I thought I had a dream that the one and only Pat Coleman was thinking of visiting the Forest for the Monmouth game.  But I wasn't sure if the dream was alcohol induced or not.

Now Pat, you are invited to the same reception as Scottie had.  I will even hold you a seat on the 50 yard line, about 15 rows up.  The drum will be close by for you to have a few whacks on. 

Please, PLEASE say you are coming.  I'd love to share war stories with you in person!

Roop will be there. Not sure if that will help your cause of enticing Pat to attend but I think will. Plus I will have The Chairperson of the Board with me as well as a local politician to keep in line.

That being said Gunny. Old Style Beer and Tanqueray & Tonics and there had better be a smoking zone.

Could someone tell me who has  the nicest most beautiful campus in the fall in your league? In our league I think it's Lewis and Clark.

Thanks for your answer....BLUe

[The Roop]

In no particular order I would say Beloit, Lake Forest and Grinnell. Monmouth is a close contender but the completion of the scottiedome spoiled it a little.

I've never seen the other campuses in the fall, but being from 20 minutes away from Lake Forest, I can say their location a mile or so from Lake Michigan with an abundance of 100+ yr. old trees surrounding the campus is pretty hard to beat.

I included the website, because on the background of their home page there is an overhead picture of the campus in the early stages of fall.

SNC has the river running along side of it - makes for gorgeous scene. Frankly most look quite nice

Week 6 Games
Cornell @ St. Norbert - SNC
Grinnell @ Monmouth - MC
Knox @ Beloit - BC
Lake Forest @ Illinois C. - IC
Lawrence @ Carroll - CU

CC/SNC and LFC/IC tie for the best games of the week since all four are still unbeaten in MWC play.  Should both be good games but I think the LFC/IC match-up will winding up being the better of the two and will be more meaningful in the long run.  Hope to see MC get back into the W column for homecoming weekend also.  Good luck Fighting Scots!

Lawrence has the same river, and much nicer architecture then SNC in my opinion, but of course I'm probably biased.  The Banta Bowl carved into the hillside with the river beyond is a pretty damn nice place on a Saturday afternoon...assuming you aren't in fact watching the football being played in front of you.

DTKAS. LCF 7, IC 5 in 11 innings.

[fulbakdad]

I think LFC is the team with the score that has a two in it Roop.  I say 5-3 in 12.

[TitanPride]

Can't wait for the LFC/IC game today.  Should be a great one!  I'm pulling for IC but LFC just seems to have a knack for winning close games.  Since the start of last year, LFC is 12-1 in conference play with 10 of those wins coming by 10 or fewer points!

[TitanPride]

LFC's QB fumbles on the first play.  IC recovers and scores 5 plays later.  7-0 IC.

[TitanPride]

IC turns LFC over on downs then marches down the field for another TD.  Kevin Fuller with an outstanding catch in the corner of the endzone.  14-0.
