Just for fun:

a·lum·nus ( P ) n. pl. a·lum·ni (-n)
A male graduate or former student of a school, college, or university.

So you used to be an alumnus to Monmouth?
Are you a "former alum" because they took your degree away for making simple comments like the one you just did?

Virtually everyone on this board is an alumnus to an MWC school, so virtually everyone on here no longer has a career as a Knight, Skirt, Red Duck, Tree, or any other team.

It is amazing that I can make a stronger arguement with my "foot in my mouth" than you can with your big giant "former alum" brain.  Go Scots!  Keep turning out winners like this guy.

[xsnd47]

I am aware it is a petty post, but I can't have a guy who refers to himself as a former alum of an institution telling me I have my foot in my mouth.

Purtill to hang a half a hundy on Monmouth next season.  Enjoy it while you can Skirts.

Good season Scots.

Get back on track next season Knights.

Consider me retired again.  Some of the younger guys can do this, because I don't have time to keep this up.

pcole,

generally the games between opponents just alternate on a year to year basis.  if the MC vs Nubs game truly is back in De "Poor" I dont know what to tell ya.  My bad i guess....

On another note...

WTF, who does the conference scheduling?  MC beats Nubs at Nubs then has to go back and play them at Nubs again?  Whatever i guess we have to "shock the world (or the MWC) two years in a row...."

I guess I am the one who mentioned the word rivalry.  Believe me, i know there is no current SNC/MC rivalry.  You guys have dominated this conference and all the accolades you have achieved are well deserved.  I said that this could be one.  For all i care, (xsnd47) Nubs could never beat us again, and then you would be right, no rivalry. 

Nubs guys, your team has been great over the past few years.  Believe me i am very very sorry that we could not have beaten you sooner.  Then maybe we wouldnt be having this debate.  MC football has been building to something special over the last few years, and hopefully beating Nubs is not a culmination but the beginning of something really special. 

Good luck to Scots...  And also Ill keep my fingers crossed for Nubs to get into the playoffs, two losses to teams with combined 17-0 record is not something to be ashamed of. 

MC football in 05' whether you like it or not....

Has Monmouth won the Turkey Bowl six years in a row now?  I was thinking the series was 50-50 at one time.  If so, I expect number 7 comes with relatively no problem this year.  Even though I'm an IC guy, good luck in the playoffs Monmouth!!

[scottie]

I believe six years is correct.  The Scots won in Kelly Kane's last year and have won in each of Coach Bell's first five years.  Don't forget about the ten ties.

All this talk about 'rivalries' has me hungry (and thirsty) for TURKEY!  Unfortunately I will not be able to make it down for the game again this year.  Friggin weddings!  I will, however, be making the trek to wherever the SCOTS may be in the playoffs.  Hope to see some of you fellow 'alumni' there.

GO SCOTS!

KNUCK FOX!

You're not my rival if I knock you on your a$$ almost every season and I slip and fall on my own a$$ for a single season.  Beat SNC on a regular basis and we'll start talking rivalry.

Spare us the dynasty bs.  Come talk to us when you've put together six of these bad boys in a row or even three for that matter and we'll start talking dynasty.  SNC has won ten MWC titles since it entered the conference twenty years ago.  Since 1953, this is only the fourth time Monmouth has managed to take the conference title.  Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Like papa90 said before, nobody on here is talking about MC-SNC being a rivalry game--one person mentioned it and that was all.  And MC went to Minahan this season and took the game from the Knights, it wasn't a "slip and fall on their own ass."  Simply put: it was an MC win, not an SNC loss.

As for the "dynasty bs", I have yet to see any MC fans post anything remotely close to calling the Scots a dynasty.  Have we resorted to just making things up in an attempt to create message board controversy?!

Consider me retired again. Some of the younger guys can do this, because I don't have time to keep this up.

Not enough time to keep this up??  You had 4 posts in less than an hour and a half...it would appear you've got plenty of time to keep it up.  Do us all a favor and stay retired for good this time--none of us have time to keep up with whether you're actually retired for good or not each time you say it.


schwanman - Nice haiku there.  That even tops quite a few of scottie's efforts in the past!  (Just kidding scottie, you're the haiku king)

Any word on the weather in G-burg tomorrow?  They are talking about heavy rain for the east central part of the State.  I just want to be sure my bundle is properly packed.

I think it is safe to say that there are no worries about Ripon coming out with a "W" this weekend.  Question for the room, the word on the street is Macalaster might be droppoing their football program, has anyone heard else heard this? 

If everyone is right and Monmouth does play Coe at Coe, I will be able to see this first round of the play offs game, early, if you are interested in coming to good ole Iowa for the game let me know, i have a place for ya to crash, and the festivities will be plentiful here in Cedar Rapids. 
   I'll be at the game in Ripon this weekend, anyone else planning on making the trip to see Macalaster get trompled?!?!

The Weatherman Says-
Cloudy skies early. A few showers developing later in the day. High around 65F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

[ScoutTeamHero]

I think the only game that's tough to call is the IC, Belwa game other than that they are all pretty much over right now.

Carroll rolls over a team that gave up before the season started 43-13......

Monmouth, with no rain, wins 45-8 easily in the bowl......

Nubs, in an effort to please the BCS, gives LFC a Roman Soldier Helmet and wins without showing up 58- 20.....

Ripon, in the JV game, wins playing 3 and 4's after the half by 27 already preparing for next season
