FB: Midwest Conference

[astro9046]

So what games are you Guys/Gals excited to see this week. I think the COE vs Cornel will be a great Defensive game. Monmouth vs WARTBURG should also be a good game to watch.
What games are exciting for the rest of you?

I am anxious to see how the Monmouth @ Wartburg games plays out.  I suspect it will be a close game, like last year. 

I've always been a fan of the Coe/Cornell rivalry, though I think we will probably once again see a lopsided scoreline.

I'm pretty biased, but Macalester/Hamline's "Battle for the Old Paint Bucket" will be a game to keep an eye on.  It'll be a much more competitive rivalry game than Coe/Cornell, and if Macalester wins, it will be the first time they've held both of their rivalry trophies (having defeated Carleton for the Book of Knowledge last week).  But Monmouth/Wartburg is probably the game most indicative of how the Midwest Conference stacks up against stronger competition.

Hopefully LU gets a win against the 30-man roster of Finlandia

Benedictine will be unhappy after its blowout loss against Wheaton last week. And hopefully SNC can bounce back from its 2OT loss at Point.

LaX beat Luther last week... likely a tall order for Ripon - but props for scheduling a WIAC team. Wish that happened more.

I've got COE at the top of West region, watched the game on-Demand and again their defense looks tough. Really like the front 7 movement. I also interested to see how Chicago does against Washinton U.

I think the Chicago vs Washington U will also be indicative of how the Midwest will go as well.

Hero's day in the Forest today.  My favorite game to go to when son #1 played there.  They tribute all Military and First Responders.  Fun day.

Lets Go Foresters!!!!

Sloppy first half for Lake Forest....

[fulbakdad]

And just like that Lake Forest comes back out in the second half and has tied it up.  Valdivia with 2 rushing td's one 52 yards and one 20. 

[fulbakdad]

Field goal and LFC takes the lead. 

[fulbakdad]

Valdivia scores his 4th td to get LFC up again.
