FB: Midwest Conference

[TitanPride]

Something tells me Pat and the gang are going to be livid that Pac Lutheran made the field. Can't say I blame them though. That's a selection out of convenience for the committee.

Pat and everyone else has had Pac Lutheran in for the last two weeks.  They were a no-brainer for a Pool C.  St. Johns Fisher was the semi-surprise (Pat had them in though too).

Coming from the East Coast, it's kind of cool to see 3 teams that were on my sons final list of teams during recruiting in the playoffs, Hobart, Ithaca, Endicott (And Salve Regina losing to Endicott the final game to go making it a fourth team we had connections too).

Welllllll.......

SNC won the conference losing badly to one of the teams that came in second, and didn't play one of the other second place teams due to the unbalanced schedule.  And If SNC played IC, I believe Bates would have lit you guys up with that everybody within 6 yards of the line of scrimmage defense.  I know, I know, if, should have, etc.  But there's an question in my mind.

Lake Forest beat a team they haven't beaten in 12 years.  They've won 16 games in the last two years.  You can't find that many wins for a LFC team in a two year span without going back prior to us fighting the bad guys in Germany in the big one.  THE FIRST BIG ONE, lol.

And LFC has the biggest recruiting class in their Freshman class ever.  Along with a very big Sophomore class in pads.  And if you were there, you saw that very large group of recruits at the game?  That's been at every home game this year.

So yeah, I'll take where they are at after yesterday.  A convincing win for the seniors and things looking up.

Just my opinion of course.

And SNC left the field yesterday banged up pretty bad.  I wish them well in the playoffs, but I believe it's going to be a tough practice week trying to get ready for a probable powerhouse opponent with a lot of skill guys in ice baths.....

And all of the things about LFC being on an upswing are well and good. I was responding to your post suggesting that because LFC won its last game that was a happier place than where SNC is. I happen to disagree.

I hold no illusions about about the relative strength of this year's Green Knights' team, as I have posted. No green & gold colored glasses in my posts. That said, SNC didn't make the schedule. SNC did a better job beating conference foes than anyone else. SNC gets to "hang a banner" that says conference champs - no one else. That's nothing to apologize for.

Don't worry about him Puckfan. Moral victories when you have nothing to play for but pride are all you can hang your hat on when you lose to a Ripon team that St. Norbert stomped, and had they won that game they'd have raked in the chips. Oh well. Winners tell jokes and losers say deal.

Hey dangle, enjoy that monkey stomp yesterday? I'm pretty sure your QB, Recievers, and RB's didn't.

You could just wait for SNC to come to UWW next week, I'm sure they'll have some fun at the Perk for the first time since 2006.

I'm sure they didn't but yesterday's game will be long forgotten when they enjoy slipping on their conference championship rings in the spring.

I'm sure with some good counseling they can forget it.

I would guess they've already forgotten about it. They have another game to play this week.

You must never have played football.  That ones stuck in replay for a long time....maybe in basketball they forget that quick...

You must be speaking for yourself about the long winter/spring/summer you must have had after you got waxed up here last year. 

[fulbakdad]

Hardly a waxing.  But have fun next week.

I'm sure everyone will have fun. Win, lose or rain, playing in the NCAA Tournament is always a great opportunity. Good luck to ya!

Wow...I take it fulbakdad is a IC fan? Just a hunch.

Congrats on being MWC champs Norb's!

It's play-off time so we have a new idiot on the board. Ignore him and he will go away. Here's the deal. Players read this, so if you're not man enough to say it in person, don't say it here. sncdingleberry....
