[Early]

That is pretty exciting that RC and UWO are gonna face off the next 4 years!!!  Maybe that will even get the bball programs hooping a little too. (my own little pipe dream)

Hawk Sighting, I'm doing well.   What about you?  1st post.....welcome to the dark side.....ha ha ha (evil laugh)

LFC HOMECOMING 2005Hey, #57 of the 2002 LFC team, you gonna be at Homecoming on October 8?  Haven't gotten any of those late Friday night calls lately.  Hope everything is okay.  Sorry you missed the big graduation party, but hope you and Bernsy can make it to homecoming.  Come out and help cheer on our Foresters.  #56 will be there with bells on.

Just say what you want to say - You hate JP3 and Howard should have been the head man all along.
Don't dance so much.
Remember, some thought Monken was at the same level as Howard, which is not true.
Also, I don't care who you root for, but why should I feel bad for defending my friends in De Pere at the school I played for and graduated from? You are ruffling more feathers than I. These guys read some jibber on here from guys they thought were always alongside them, and don't know what to think.
Again, sorry for the harsh, uncalled for comments earlier. I do see some of your point. But, if I still played there, I, just like the 8 or 10 I saw last weekend, would scratch my head. IN the words of an unnamed source, what did JP# ever do to you?

I know Monmouth can throw but that does seem to be the strongest  part of LFC game (pass D).LFC has had trouble stopping the run,will MC run or will they still try to air it out? Any thoughts from Scots fans?

[PapaSmurf]

     Against the Knights, it was Monmoth's passing game that won it for them.  Haffner was their main receiver and it seems to me if they could have shut him down in the 2nd half like they did in the 1st they could have won.  They have a fast running back who did well in the 1st half but was quieted by the SND in the 2nd half.  You'll know the who the running back is because there will be an annoying guy in the stands shouting "It's Dante time!" and "4.2 speed coming 'round the corner!" incessantly.

[Hawk Sighting]

Is there any predictions out there yet for this weekend?  I believe Ripon will come out a head at Carroll.  They have had a rough time at Carroll, but they have been improving all season, so look out Carroll it might be a crushing by the hawks.  Look for the D holding carroll to no more than 14 and the O putting atleast 28 on the scoreboard.

Pawlik....what's with all of the hostility? calm down. you should not get so worked up about the wayward opinion of ONE guy. i am not going to lie. it will be awkward next week in A-town to see half of the former SNC staff on the LU sideline but I do agree with you and have argued in the past that despite this occurance, all loyalties should remain to SNC. this is not a roman legion. loyalties should be to the alma mater, not to a coach. do i wish the former SNC staff well, of course, but next saturday i will be wearing the green and gold. bill, stop causing trouble. anyone traveling to IC? i got a roadie planned with the old man for all that want a ride. if anything, see you in A-town!

OS, you said it better than I. I think that's what I wanted to say all along, but couldn't see past the initial junk.
I am officially retiring this subject until Monday.

Bill, aka Jim, are you riding up with Steerman?

LFCdad - My best prediction (and I certainly hope I'm right) is that you will see a very balanced MC attack.  Their offensive numbers, both in the air and on the ground, have ranged from very solid to explosive.  So, the LFC defense should be put to the test. 

If I was a LFC fan, however, I would be just as concerned with their offense against the Scots' defense - and I'm talking not about their 4th quarter defense.  LFC hasn't been exactly lighting up the scoreboard this season, in my opinion (20.3 ppg vs. MC's 43 ppg). 

Another little nugget as we head into the middle of the season...  During this 3-game stretch last season (vs. LFC, Grinnell and Lawrence), Monmouth won all three by a combined score of 98-0.

"Monmouth Football in 2005!"

Thanks Scottie thats what I was affarid of, a balanced attack.Lfc can hold thier own against the pass but has strugled to stop the run. I don't know what to think of the offence.One series they run the ball great then they think they have to mix it up and try to throw.The D is on the field way to long.If LFC can't get a more balenced attact its going to be a long day.Papa smurf thanks for the heads up on the annoying guy with Dante time.I'll try to sit in the end zone.Good Luck to all the players and lets hope they all stay healthy.

[PapaSmurf]

     I still think Monmoth's strength is the passing game.  If the LFD keeps pressure on Tanney, not letting him find Haffner all the time, they might be able to keep them from scoring more than 2 or 3 td's.  When I saw him play he was least effective when he was forced out of the pocket.  Be that as it may, they'll probably score a lot an don't think the LF offense will be able to do the same against Monmoth's d.

Its Carroll Homecoming.  They are going to be pumped.  Look for a Carroll Win today.

[LFCdad]

Congrats to a very good Monmoth team.They have a well balanced attack on O and big ,fast,very strong D. Nice job by thier fans also. Great turnout for a road game.Good luck the rest of the year.

[scottie]

Thanks for the compliments LFCdad.  It's good to hear that both the Monmouth players and fans did a good job.

I'm not sure what to say about the game.  Two interceptions for touchdowns, a runner for 129 yards, and a 21-27 passer.  It must have been their day.
