FB: Midwest Conference

[scottyeagle93]

And, if I understand correctly, Saint Norbert has been eliminated in the North Division

[Gaegerlaw75]

From my accounting MAC is the division champ regardless of the outcome now... Even if they were to lose the lead in the 3rd it would only result in a tie with Carroll on the quarters lead... And from what I know it reverts back to head-to-head

[grboob]

So Monmouth is the 2nd team in south

Who is the 2nd team in the north  St Norberts or Carroll?

[Gaegerlaw75]

Carroll plays Monmouth in the 3rd place game...

Side note. Another 4 rushing touchdowns for LaMont Williams... I will be sad to see him go

Congrats to Mac on the North title

A big congrats to Macalester!  This program has been through so much in the last 15 years from a President that wanted the program cut in 2001 to an awful experiment with Irv Cross as a "coach" to a 12 year run in the worthless Independent ranks where players have no opportunity to win all conference awards to The Caruso Experiment to finally landing in a conference.  The Scots coaching staff has done wonders over the last five years to build the roster and this Division Championship is a huge reward for a lot of hard work.  Wish them the best of luck in the conference championship game.   Great win today and way to fight off that last Green Knights drive!

Congrats to IC and Mac.  I am happy with this year's way of crowning a conference champ.  Much better than a tie breaker possibly determining the top dog. 

Lake Forest took care of business with Grinnell today.  And we finish the year against the Triple Option Ripon.  My favorite offense.....

To OAS,

Thanks for the kind words and all the support through out the years.

I seem to remember checking this message board back when the MWC announced the addition of Macalester.  To everyone who thought it was worthless to add Macalester  ("another loser") to the MWC, what do you have to say now?

Nothing better than proving people wrong and making them eat their words!

Scott, 

I don't remember who said that.  But I almost wonder if that was a poster from your last Conference or one of the Elitists who used to post here.  I say that because when I first got here Lake Forest was one of the bottom dwellers.  When we became competitive and then we were Conference Co-champs, there were a couple posters that were very dismissive of us.  I think the parity in the conference has evened out.  This has Givin more teams the legitimate shot at the title and nobody can live on past records/performances. 

I myself welcome you and wish u and your team best of luck.  But don't live tomorrow on what you do today....

Knock yourself out. It was a St. John's fan.

I think St. John's would salivate at the chance to have Macalester in the playoffs ... careful what you wish for.

Seems like something I would have said.   Bring 'em on.

A big congrats to Macalester!

I second OAS.

Pretty quiet on the boards this week.  Come on, it's championship weekend for :censored: sake!  It's exciting!  It's the culmination of the entire season right here!

[gbpuckfan]

I think that it's quiet because:

For 10 teams it's like the old NFL playoff bowl. It's on the schedule but does anyone care? With no at-large bid at stake I bet these look like spring games with lots of backups

For the title, at least for me, Mac and IC don't conjure up, well, anything. Mac is too new for most to know a lot about or care - and they aren't anyone's rival to get worked up about.

Good for IC but, again, do they stir any one else's imagination?

I hope whoever wins does well in the playoffs but hard to get worked up for it.

Maybe I have already moved on to hockey season...
