FB: Midwest Conference

[MWCSID2005]

Just to quell any rumors or otherwise, word from the Monmouth Sports Information Office is that Morrison is ok and suffered a bad stinger.

[SJU92#57]

Glad to hear that and hope that's all that it was.  ;DThat was not a good site.....could have heard a pin drop

[farley101]

Yeah i don't think I've ever been in Clemens at a game when it was that quiet.

You could've heard a pin drop there today, it was absolutely silent in Clemens Stadium for about 10 minutes while they tended to the Monmouth player. I heard that it was a concussion and not a spinal injury, like first thought. Talking to a Monmouth fan who talked like he had good info, he said it sounded like the kid was doing OK.
The game... Monmouth came out firing and their QB is a stud. Did great under pressure, but  the pressure eventually overwhelmed him. Great to meet all of the Monmouth fans today and the bagpipes were awesome! Big hole to fill after Tanney graduates, but hopefully we'll meet again.
Mathiason is out, was having surgery before the game was even over on a broken tibia I think. Zahaur and Good's parents seem to think their kids will be OK. Lot of kids banged up today. Will be tough against UWW next week. Hopefully everyone can get healthy.

Chalk one up for Pawlick.  You got me good.  Point proven.  You're everything the MC fans said and more.

I'm done with the MWC board.  Bring on the WIAC.

All you SJU fans just think your s*** doesn't stink it kills me.  You can go ahead and say the whole SNC team that was classless, that's fine, not going to hurt us any.  ONE, maybe I should repeat that, ONE person acted inappropriately, doesn't mean the rest of the team acted or treated oppenents the same way. 

I feel like SJU fans are the "pot calling the kettle black".  I made 2 trips to Clemens while I was there and SJU fans are just as classless.  The s*** that I heard from fans during the game was unbelievable.  I still stand by my prior post that even if you thought SNC was classless that year because of ONE player, that's fine, but SJU players should still shake hands with the oppenent after the game.  I can think of two games SNC should never shave shaken the hand of the oppenents for cheaps shots and fights, but we still had the class after the game to shake hands. 

The only reason anyone had a problem with us in prior years is cause we put so many points on the board against everyone we played.  If that is classless, fine.  I think the picture posted by SJU92#57 shows how classless SJU fans are.  Not cool to make fun of mentally retarded people.  That's low by itself.  I can completely understand why people in Minnesota hate SJU people, you look down upon everyone else as second class people. 

I must be on the reefer.  UWW 50 SJU 10

I'll try not to judge your conference or team by your stupid posts. You're an idiot!

Everyone?

You've never given us that reason to have a problem with you. My problem with SNC was Seth flipping off our sidelines multiple times, multiple late hits and cheap shots when the game wasn't even close, and this attitude that winning the MWC year after year entitles SNC to some sort of national respect.

You get national respect by winning in the playoffs, not by winning your conference.

I have nothing but respect for the Monmouth fans on this board, the ones that were at the game and especially for their coach and players. They were an all around class act and despite being over-matched, played/cheered hard and left their best effort on the field in the spirit of the game.

When SNC can live up to those standards, then I will respect them as I do Monmouth.


As far as the picture, I agree that it was classless, if you would have read the two posts after it, 2 SJU fans including myself were the first to say so. Don't get all bent out of shape by SJU fans judging SNC based on Seth's actions (apparently you missed the others) when you're going to go hypocrite and make the same judgements based on one SJU poster.

[johnniebackup67]

hey Kilted-  i dropped a deuce and it smells like roses, how about you?

[Kilted Rat]

For what it's wirth,
Mine is more of a petunia and lilac hybrid.

[scottie]

You can have THAT conversation on your own board...   

[Retired Old Rat]

I think for many of us the problems with SNC was the coaches.  Seth was not pulled for even one play after the bird flip.  Your coach's halftime speech, which I will not detail, was classless.  The multiple PF's are a reflection of the coaching staff.

p.s.  Since I graduated from St. John's I don't **** any more.

[johnnie_esq]

I'm not even going to bother with SNC and their actions and reputation.

To the Monmouth contingent, congratulations on a ground-breaking season and best wishes in the future.  I have nothing but respect for your program and your enthusiastic fans, who came out in force to support your team.  I hope you enjoyed Collegeville, save the game score, because that atmosphere is what D3 is all about-- enjoying the experience--and the Scots did that well.

You were fine representatives of the MWC-- you just ran into a good team yesterday.  Tanney is a stud-- no question about that, and his ability to scramble scared the hell out of me.  I'm just glad that we ended up keeping him behind the line more times than in front of it.

Prayers to your injured player, and a speedy and whole recovery.

Love to see you in Collegeville and representing the MWC again next year.  Go Scots!

[Snydz822121]

I just want to congratulate the Fighting Scots on a season that no one can take from them!!  You did what non of us previous Scots could do, and I'm glad you reached the goal that was set before you.  You have nothing to be ashamed about.  I hope that you have learned from the classes before you to always, no matter what, keep your heads high!!

Cookoff - I was told that the best hamburgers were cooked by the SJU fans at the tailgating.  WRONG!!!  I had a cheeseburger from the SJU tailgating, which I will say was delicious, but then I had a cheeseburger from Mr. Blaesing!!!

Collegeville was a nice place.  SJU fans you treated us well on most occasions.  Tailgating was a blast, except your security boys.....come on, you are a wet campus and they still dont let you walk around with beer?  I thought they were just going to card people, which I believe is what they should have done, but thats me.

The one thing that showed the class of the SJU students, was when one of our players took a knee to the back of his head and went into convoltions.  A fan decided to talk **** while he was laying there knocked out.  I dont think it was any of the SJU posters, but you have to agree with me when that happened.  As former football players, it is called respect! 

I want to wish D-Mo a fast and healthy recovery from the hit he took Saturday.

It was nice meeting the fellow posters, and I'm sorry I didnt bring the ROUSH!!!

SJU you have a very nice team.  Your D-line is amazing.  I wish you the best of luck on your way to where ever your players take you.

[sncla42]

Very few thing will cause me to post I am more of an observer of the board but I must say something even if it will be drowned out by all the SJU posts.  I just feel very disrespected as a SNC football play 2000-2003 and playing in both St. John's games.
First of all there have been refference to the snc program's classlessness and unpopularity.   St. Johns hates us because of one talented but young player who lost his head and flipped off the crowd (not bench)  which is not exceptable.  Several Senior including myself said something to him after that.  Get over it SJU is was a long time ago plus you won and evenually became national champs.  Dont get me wrong i hated it too but people make mistakes move on.  I have moved on that Blake and several others never shook my hand after my last game of my career.  I think any football player that has ever made it through all you must go through to be a football player at the college level for 4yrs deserves that.  I also recall mention of cheap shots.  I was on the field for both games and did not see any cheap shot in fact I just recently watched my copy of the tapes of the game and there wasn't anything to cry over.  Both teams playing very hard and hitting hard to the whistle.a
By the way one of the SJU posters mentioned that some of the Monmouth fans didn't like us either.  The reason the conference hates us is because we have been champ for so long (till this year, Congrats Scotts).  It is very lonely at the top.  By the way SJU I have talked to the St Thomas (a team I respect a ton) and they dont like you either WOW what a revolation.
One last comment, The MWC is not the strongest conference that is true.  One reason would be the restrictions that are placed on us by the conference.  Also many of our teams are competing with the WIAC for recruits.  WIAC is not restricted and has larger school.  Not excuses just facts.  I would just like a little respect for how far the conference has come (largely to do with SNC).  SNC has never been blown out of a playoff game.  We always are very competative.  Even against SJU.  I believe our playoff proformance is impressive since we always have been bracketed against big name school on the road (except simpson which we beat).  We took Augustana to the wire in 1999, 2000 were up at half against #4 Central, the next year gave SJU a scare.  In 2003 we won a the first row game and then ran into the National champ and still did get blown out.  If you look at that game the first half we played the pretty tough and shut down alot of their bread and butter but SJU has too much fire power and had some other thing up there sleeves to open us up.  hey all the respect in the world for that.  that was a great team.  I just dont understand why we don't deserve respect.  Even last year we had LaCrosse dead but gave it back to them.  None of the teams we lost to are bad teams.  All have fantastic traditions and are always a threat to go deep into the playoffs.  Bottom line SJU GET OFF OUR BOARD if you wont even respect that.

Monmouth fans one word of advice.  Dont expect national respect untill a MWC team goes deep into the playoffs.  We will not get seated well nor will we be ranked all that high.  just learn to live with it.  SNC did and we are slowly getting more respect I believe.

Sorry about the novel fellas.  I am going to try and make it to the SJU and UWW game seeing that it is 40 mins away from were i live.  Good luck SJU, UWW is stacked
