The Roop

SNC can take nothing good out of their game this past Saturday. My advice is to forget everything and move on. The next question is "Are they still the overwhelming favorite to win the conference ?" At this point there is no good answer to that question because it says more about the conference than it does about SNC.

Although I was in the general area, I didn't attend the Beloit-Carleton game as I thought it was out of town. It appears Beloits defense thought the game was out of town as well. You've simply gotta win when you gain as much yardage as their offense did.

Similarly Lake Forest has to beat Macalaster by a larger margin to be considered a contender/quality team.

As for the rest of the conference........... I'm primarily a hoops fand and am not knowledgable enough to applaud or complain about anything.

SNC is scheduled to play Olivet Nazarene, an NAIA school, in 2006 & 07.

scottie, Old Fighting Scot - It certainly was a good game to watch for the season opener and turned out as a great day to be a Fighting Scot!   :)

And regardless of who is right (Old_Style or PapaSmurf) about SNC's non-conference opponent for next season, either Wartburg or Olivet Nazarene would both be quality games for the Knights.

According to some inside info that I recently caught wind of, Monmouth will be opening the 2006 season against Wartburg.  So this would mean that PapaSmurf was right with St. Norbert playing Olivet Nazarence for next season's non-conference game.

Maverick:  You say Monmouth has Wartburg on future schedules?  Kudos to Coach Bell for continuing to increase the status of the Scots' opening day opponents, and in turn their SOS.  Maybe Whitewater will be next...    :o

SNC received some sad news this week that defensive coordinator Randy Marsh will be sitting out the rest of the season due to health reasons.  Everyone is hoping for a quick recovery and his return next season.  In the interim the defense will be led by Tim McGuire, the former head coach of Indiana State.  In happier news sophmore lb Dan Dohr and senior dl Ben Baker were commended for their play in last Saturday's game.

Yep, from what I heard out of a very reliable source, MC will be playing Wartburg in a 2-year home and home series starting in 2006 (next season).  It has definitely been a great job by Coach Bell and staff to continue the upgrade in non-conference opponents over the past few seasons.  I also recently found out who the Fighting Scots will be playing for their non-conference game beginning in 2008; I'll save that info for another day but I can honestly say that it's not Whitewater.  ;)

When do I get my status back?  It's tough going from a starter back to jv.  I know you're busy and it's good to see that we have a midwest region guy now.

So hey with all the suprises from this weekends games.  Who is the dominant for the Conference this year.  Is it still up to Norbert or are they still the dominant force that just had a bad game?  Or is it shifting to Monmouth with their dominant playing the past two weeks that seems to disappear when they get in the fourth quater due to what seems to be the 2nd string players.  Or maybe Lake Forest who still has yet to show any real ability yet against two week opponents.  Or could this be Carrolls year?  Who gave Carthage a run for their money? What do you guys think?

It is going to be between SNC and Monmouth.  SNC may be having some tough luck right now, but until somebody else wins the conference outright, they are the team to beat.
