FB: Midwest Conference

[scottyeagle93]

So, is it again Monmouth versus St Norbert for the title?

I would like to see how Lake Forest games versus SNC and Mac play out.  SNC lost their two non-conference games against quality opponents then trounced Knox.  Not exactly a great indicator of their strength.  Meanwhile, Mac has their QB situation figured out and has Lake Forest as their toughest game before SNC the last week of the year.  They somehow miss out on playing Monmouth (who should be considered the favorite) for the third year in a row so that last week of the season should be interesting as we may be looking at a tiebreaker

I will consider that question after the next five weeks...

scottyeagle,

How have you been?  What are you up to these days?

Have you been studying to become a psychic?  We shall see in the weeks to come.  Mac still has a lot of work to do...Ripon this week will be a good measuring stick for the Scots!

So you are saying it could come down to a Scots tiebreaker?  I like where your head is at.

The winner gets to play Kimberly High School.  They play at the Banta Bowl Friday night.  They would win the MWC.

I'm doing well, but definitely not training to become a psychic.  Ripon should be an interesting contest (especially given how poorly Mac played against them last year) but I was really just thinking in terms of common opponents to see where the Scots stack up against SNC.  I wouldn't say I'm predicting an all-Scots tiebreaker; that's more of a hope than anything, but the schedule seems favorable to that.  Obviously, we will see how it all plays out

Woof. What does that ranking say about the state of football below the MWC? I love our schools (most are ACM also) but there is some might unpretty football.

Dear MWC: You're welcome for the "big pelt."

anyone else having problems with the Lake Forest/SNC feed?

Hee Hee Hee!  😉

Happy HC, Mav!  Thanks in advance for any updates this afternoon.

[gbpuckfan]

Took a few minutes but now it works.

SNC taking advantage of Lake Forest miscues. Turning an interception into a touchdown. Turning a failed fourth-down conversion into a touchdown. Forcing a fumble at the 15 yard line and threatening to score again.

[gbpuckfan]

And SNC does convert. Now 21-0. I believe 1;41 left in the first.

[gbpuckfan]

SNC forces a punt. Gets 56 yard TD on first play. 28-0.

Time of possession is 10:18 for LFC and 4:51 for SNC. Most misleading stat of the day so far.

[gbpuckfan]

Nice 98 yard TD return of the ensuing kickoff for LFC.
