FB: Midwest Conference

[Pat Coleman]

Kind of like what happened up at SNC last year?  Why would a head coach move all the way out, and then leave in a hurry and move back to the Northeast?  Now if he were out of coaching all together, I'd start to think that maybe he did something terribly wrong and they parted ways quietly.  But that coach moved back to become an Assistant in the NESCAC.

Hmmm, things that make you go hmmm. 

Definitely lots of hmmm in that situation!

NACC goes 4-1 against the Midwest this week.

Is "unacceptable" too strong of a word?

Not really. WLC and Lakeland were slotted 2nd and 3rd in the preseason NACC poll respectively, though I am surprised by Lakeland's win over Carroll. CUC and Rockford shown improvement (Rockford especially) so far. It wasn't that much for the Midwest being 4-1 instead of 1-4 against us.

It's results like that which send the MWC champ straight to Whitewater.

You are absolutely correct, scottie. I think the conference is down these days. It is pretty clear there are only a few "good" teams. And the bad are really bad. Better teams would improve the conference, I think, as would improved performances in that inevitable tilt with Whitewater.

Great Great Great post Scottie.

I do what I can.  And a smart audience seems to appreciate it.

An awesome lampoon on the Good Guys' next opponent....

Anything goes hehe.

Yeah well I am not confident whoever the NACC sends won't escape being matched up against the CCIW (probably Wheaton).

MIAC also possible.

Good Guys experiencing a good ol' fashioned slobberknocker right now at the lovely April Zorn Memorial Stadium.  Down 7-3 to the Dutch at halftime.

Central hits a 43 yard FG to send it to OT. Tied at 17.

[scottie]

17-17 at end of regulation.  Great game for Central if you're a fan of big plays. (more on that later.)
