FB: Midwest Conference

[LUtickles]

The next bout will not be pretty.  I forgot that my opponent was a good 30-40 lbs heavier than he was in our previous bout and I was a few pounds lighter. Sounds like SNC has two quarterbacks to pick from this season.  One is pretty athletic and mobile and the other is a better thrower, more like a Ryan Hartman.  Defensively they will still play a 4-2-5 but with fewer blitzes and more basic coverages. 1987

Excuses, excuses, you Tickles imposter.

Just saw the SNC two-deep.
Looks like Arkens will earn the start Saturday. Nice job buddy. He is being backed by the Polish Prince. Alright.
Among the other notables, if this is up to date, an O'Malley sighting at LB and kicker Bob pulling double duty.
Can't wait for kickoff.

Where the hell is Schussler?  Did he eat a live cow or something?  I knew his coming back was too good to be true.  Damn it.

[meachscribe]

Don't quote me, but I think he's overseas with the Army.

was there actually a reference to players from beloit tearing up the conference?  are these guys transfers? is this for real?

[sncla42]

word on wren and seth.  I talked to wren at the west towne mall in maidson.  He will be sitting out this year to get surgery on his hand.  nothing major.  he would have missed at least one game with it so he just figured he would get it fixed and come back next year 100% for howard and LU.  He also said that seth is working on getting into LU and also playing next year.  This is just what wren told me to the best of my slightly damaged memory.  I am just posting this to hopefully clear up all the rumors.  But i probably just feuled the more.  sorry aljey and seth!

Well that is crap.  I was hoping to see Schussler in the Green and Gold again.  That is a disappointment.  Those two would make a substantial contribution to any program, but it won't be enough to lift LU over a program like SNC.  I am interested to see what Howard does at LU.  Those of you who played for him speak very highly of him.

Big Pat, I got yelled at for bringing this up last year, but I was a week too early last year.  Are we going to see an around the region for the midwest, prior to Saturday?

See what happens when you leave the job up to a guy from Ripon.  Hey, at least Harrison Ford went there.  The cookies are good too.

We're looking for a new columnist -- John has relocated and is no longer in the area. I will make an offer on the column hopefully tomorrow.

[xsnd47]

Let Meach write the column.

Meach, write the column, you're a writer.

Done.

Good luck today to all the MWC teams!  Especially the Monmouth College Fighting Scots!  Will be back in a few hours with the final score from the MC vs. CUW game...

[Maverick]

Final from Monmouth:
MC 40 - CUW 26

A good performance by the Fighting Scots for week 1.  Yards were fairly even between the 2 teams but turnovers and mistakes were very costly for CUW--similar to last year's game.  MC actually led the game 40-6 before 3 late TD's by the Falcons made the score look closer than it actually was.
