Time flies. Alex Tanney is 28. Good to see him get his chance yesterday!

Thanks for the article, Pat.  You're not so bad....I don't care what Fullbackdad says about you!   ;D
HEY PAL, DON'T BLOCK THE SHOT!

Fulbakdad still exists? I remember him, "charles" and "softballrz" (who may possibly have been all the same person LOL... ok maybe not) being staunch defenders of the so-so teams on the New England FC board in the east region a few years back.

Do I still exist?  Oh my, I'm not that old! lol

I hover the boards from time to time.  My son graduated and has moved on to college coaching.  Not as driven as I was before.  Was much more personnel when he was on the field hitting people.

And I wasn't a staunch supporter of so so New England teams, I was a vocal supporter of one New England team, Salve Regina.  That was because of the very positive view and experience I had with the head coach who was there when my son was being recruited. (He has taken over Assumption, DII, and is doing very well there now too).

And Scottie, I shared BEER with Pat at a game once!  We are BUDS!

GySgt out.

Lol sorry  ;D. It's ok, that was the most action that board ever got! Glad things have progressed for you and your son!

The Maroons are coming, the Maroons are coming! Well, maybe. I understand the U of Chicago has requested to join the MWC as a football-only affiliate. Not sure when that would start. Better program today than the last time they were in the Midwest Conference.

Announced officially today. Starting in 2017.

And my first prediction is the UofC v SNC game in '17 will decide the north title.

So, if Chicago ever departs, does the MWC need to find a third team that uses the Bears' "C" logo? Or will the Bears simply be relegated to the MWC?  ;D

The Bears use the U of C's logo, not the other way around.  UChicago adopted the "wishbone C" in 1898, when George Halas was 3 years old.

I did not know this. And, yes, the question did cross my mind.

Caught something today's paper that I thought might interest those of you who call Monmouth your guys.  The Tennessee Titans have released backup QB Zach Mettenberger.   However the move was made after they had signed Matt Cassel to back up starter Marc Mariota.  The reason I think you might be interested is because the third QB is Alex Tanney and barring any further moves at the position it would seem to put him in a good position to at least make the practice squad or possibly the roster if team were to decide to carry three QBs on their roster.  Good luck to him.

Just throwing this out for my own personal abuse but Lawrence has a freshman class this year that includes 25 for football. I think, but I cannot be certain, this would be the largest incoming class in program history.

It is a start.
