"Monmouth seemed to have a great day in the first half scoring everytime they touched the ball.  But seemed to call the dogs off in the second half."  Jester 76

Yeah, I'd say Monmouth called off the dogs.  Other than the comeback win vs. SNC, here are the scores for the Scots' three games after the third quarter:
37-6 vs. Concordia
48-12 vs. Ripon
56-14 vs. Beloit

Hopefully, calling off the dogs doesn't hurt in DIII like it does in the BCS Poll where the "quality of the win" is judged in part by margin of victory. 

On to Lake Forest...

Scottie,

Great point, the SNC game is the only one where the MC starters have played late in the game.  I think the three headed monster of bell, braun and ragone are doing a very classy job in dominating without embarrasing.  For those of you who still dont want to respect what MC has done so far, go ask the BC, RC and Concordia coaching staffs how greatful they are that MC didnt drop 70 or 80 on them. 

As far as tanney to haffner goes, it might be the closest thing to montana to rice that illinois has ever seen.....
I could be wrong, but I doubt it....

Well, good win by the scots this past weekend.  They have an offense unlike any other.  I know that Tanney is a good player, but lets not remember who is calling the game as well.  Coach Bell is a brilliant offensive mind and he finally has all the tools to work with.  

I have my ax in hand and am ready to go cutting some trees.  I will be there to watch Monmouth get a win versus a tough Lake Forerst team.

Pat Coleman what does Monmouth have to do to get some respect in the polls?  I know they don't matter when it comes to playing on Saturday, but if Norbert were in the position that Monmouth is right now in Conference play, because no matter what they were going to lose to Whitewater.  Sorry Norbert fans.  I mean look at the stats they have constantly dominated their opponents.

Let's calm down Monmouth fans.   ;D  I'm sure the powers that be will begin to notice the Scots as the weeks go by and one of the nation's longest winning streaks (hopefully) continues to increase.  We did get a nice feature on this website last week, afterall.

With that said, I'm more than a little surprised that perennial CCIW punching bag North Park even has 16 votes in the week four poll, while the MWC is currently staring at a goose egg. 

Have fun at LFC Papa, and sharpen the axe.

How did Ripon beat LFC you ask?  The box scores spells it out, time of posession and running 84 offensive plays.  Scoring inside the 20 and playing sound defense.  Letting Faulds pass and run for as much as he did was the killer.  I am glad to see Coach Ernst call a great game in second half and make some adjustments, the d is looking much better. 

Monmouth, you guys like pretty good.  Wait a few weeks until you are 7-0 and you will get moved up in the top 25.  I hope you don't have a let down, because the way you guys are looking this could be a great a season.

Jim,
I owe you an apology. I'm sorry for the harsh comments I directed toward you the other night. I was drinking and posting, and said some things I did not mean.
I am sorry.

     In 2003 SNC didn't break into the top 25 until week 7.  They were pretty good that year.

Scottie,

That is North Central, not North Park.

The MWC won't get respect in the polls until they do something in the playoffs, or beat a good team from a rival conference.  The same thing holds true for any other school in any division.  I'm not saying that Monmouth couldn't get a playoff win this year, but the fact that they are a newcomer as far as success goes doesn't get them a lot of respect either.  Hell, a lot of people that vote on stuff probably think their located in Monmouth, New Jersey.  Also, beating weak sisters like Ripon and Beloit won't score you any points either.

Money talks and bull$hit walks.

Pat Coleman

I beg to differ. Our voters know where Monmouth is. They just don't have it on their ballot.

Is everybody on their period. I simply mention that SNC has a lot of work to do to get back to where the point when the school was last recognized nationally and give some props a rebuilding program (where i have a lot of friends) and everybody flips out on me. IT IS ONLY D3 FOOTBALL. LIGHTEN UP THEIR ARE BIGGER THINGS IN THE WORLD. I have never cheered against SNC (and i won't when they play lawrence). And if you have no loyalty to Howard or any of the assistants who left, well it show how clueless and how much practice you guys skipped. They were the difference for us that 2003 season. And to all the SNC idiots who worship everything Purtill says stop criticzing me for being critical of the coaches when you let other people slide for ripping on the snc players. There have been many times when i have read alumns on this board tear into snc players heart and effort and in my opinion the seniors and jrs on norberts worked with more effort and intenisty than any of you so SHUT UP.

Well still I don't understand why everyone looks down on MWC.  The conference seems to be very strong this year.  I mean they are beating up each other pretty good teams that should beat others are doing the unthinkable.  And yeah on the fact of palying stronger out of conference games why play a middle road CCIW team if they are going to totally destroy one of your weaker teams in the conference.  And I think one school did. That is right Carroll did and they keep it close to Carthage the whole game.  But yet everyone instead of judging them as weak says they had an off week. I call BS.  The MWC is stronger than anyone gives them credit.

Pat Coleman

You prove nothing as a league playing Macalester, CUW and Blackburn. Congrats on being better than two of the worst teams in college football. And to Monmouth, congrats on being better than the third- or fourth-best team in the No. 24 conference in Division III.

That doesn't get you into the Top 25. You do realize there are 231 Division III teams, right? It's a lot harder to get into our Top 25 than it is for one of the 119 Division I-A teams to get into the Top 25.
