Hey, I read that book in junior high, Judy Blume I think.

Yeah, the St Norbert vs Grinnell game was ugly. Just really glad that St N pulled their starters early, kept it on the ground and didn't try to run up the score...huh? Whats that? They didn't pull the starters til mid 4th quarter? You say they pulled a fake punt and put up a TD with the score 47-7 early in the 4th? Well, at least the punter was the #2 man even if the rest of the first team was still in the game.


Another glorious victory for the brilliant Norby staff. It will not be forgotten.

Anyone know the Ripon/Lake Forest score?  I read the half-time score, but the final is not up at the RC website.

[Pat Coleman]

I'm guessing there's some sarcasm here I'm missing, but just in case:

Nope no sarcasim .  At the time I checked, the score was up on the Ripon website.  Thanks Pat.

Just wanted to say that all that talk about Larry and than they do not show up.  Haven't seen anyone say anything about the game. 
Apparently it is a two man race again this year between the Scots and Knights.  Scots made a statement after their loss the first game.  KEEP ON ROLLIN!

Good Luck at Beliot.  Buck the Bucs!

BELOIT COLLEGE BUCCANEERS (1-1, 0-1 MWC)

MONMOUTH COLLEGE FIGHTING SCOTS (1-1, 1-0 MWC)

Saturday, September 16, 2006, 2:00 p.m.
Strong Stadium, Beloit, Wisconsin
HOMECOMING 2006


THE GAME: The Beloit College Buccaneers will try to rebound from last weekend's conference-opening loss at Carroll College as they return to Strong Stadium to begin a two-game homestand, starting with the MWC pre-season favorite Monmouth College Fighting Scots for Homecoming 2006.

BROADCAST: WTJK, ESPN Radio 1380 "The Jock," will handle this game and every game during the 2006 season. Kyle Jacob will handle the play-by-play while Andy Gannon will provide color commentary. The broadcast begins with the pre-game show at 1:35 p.m.
The game can also be heard through Webcast. Get the link at either www.beloit.edu or at www.espn1380.com.

THE SERIES: The Buccaneers and Fighting Scots are meeting for the47th time in a series that began back in 1906 with an 11-0 MC win. Monmouth leads the series 25-20 with one tie. The Fighting Scots have won three straight in the series and four of the last five. Beloit's last victory came during the 2002 season, a 44-28 win in Beloit. Prior to the recent MC streak, Beloit had won five straight, stretching from the 1994 to 2000 seasons. After Monmouth won the first two meetings in the series, in 1906 and 1907, both by shutout, Beloit won the next five games from 1909 to 1913, three by shutout.

LAST TIME VS. FIGHTING SCOTS: Monmouth exploded for 28 first-quarter points and 21 in the second quarter as they coasted to a 56-30 win in Monmouth on September 24, 2005. Dante Daniels, Dan Morrison and Evan Hafner (twice) scored in a span of seven minutes in the opening quarter to make it 28-0 after one. Hafner scored his third TD of the half three minutes in to the second quarter before Lee Rankinen capped a 12-play drive with a one-yard TD run to get the Bucs on the board. Morrison and Daniels each scored their second touchdowns of the game, Daniels with 49 seconds left before halftime, to make the score 49-8 at the break. Nate Skelton scored on a 76-yard run for Beloit early in the third quarter but Matt Hammer caught a six-yard pass from Mitch Tanney to re-establish the 41-point bulge at the end of three quarters. The Buccaneers shut out MC in the fourth quarter while Rankinen scored two more TDs, from 22 and one yard out, to close the scoring. The Fighting Scots finished with 542 yards of offense while Beloit ended with 307, including 241 on the ground. Rankinen had 116 yards rushing to lead the Bucs while Daniels rushed for 165 and Tanney threw for 238 to lead Monmouth.

BUCCANEERS LAST TIME OUT: Carroll College held the Bucs to just 121 total yards on the way to a 29-0 win in Waukesha last Saturday afternoon in the MWC opener for both squads. CC had single touchdowns in both the first and second quarters, a field goal in the third and two TDs in the fourth for the win. Bryce Crocker scored on a 64-yard pass play from Chris Rogers late in the opening quarter for the first score of the game and then Tyler Vogds caught a six-yard Rogers pass five minutes before halftime to make it 14-0 at the break. Brian Jachimek added a 25-yard field goal late in the third quarter to make it 17-0 and then Darren Nelson caught a 10-yard pass from Rogers early in the fourth quarter and Crocker scored on an 11-yard run seven minutes later for the final score. The Pioneers finished with 410 yards of offense, 253 of it through the air. Joe Davis led Beloit with 43 yards rushing while Crocker had 91 yards rushing and 99 receiving for Carroll. Defensively, the Bucs were led by David Maggio, who had nine total tackles plus an interception, Liam O'Neill with eight solo tackles, and Nelson Suarez, who had two tackles for loss.

LET THE MEMORIES FLOW: The 1955 Buccaneer Football team will be recognized during the Homecoming game, remembering their outstanding 7-1 season under former head coach Carl Nelson (1950-61). The lone loss of the campaign came in the seventh game, a 19-12 setback to DePauw College IN. Victories came against Milwaukee State (now UW-Milwaukee), Lake Forest, Mankato State, Wabash, Carroll, Albion and Macalester.

A "ROWTH" OF SCOTS: For the second straight home game, Strong Stadium has an air of the Highlands. In the home opener on September 2, the opponent was the Scots of Macalester College. For the Homecoming Game this week, the Fighting Scots of Monmouth College are visiting. Certainly a "strang occurrent." (Note: "Rowth" means abundance in Scottish. "Strang occurrent" means strange occurrence.)

UP AHEAD: The Buccaneers stay at home for a second straight week as they host Knox College in a 1:30 p.m. kickoff at Strong Stadium on September 23. After that, they head out on a two-game road trip, playing at Lake Forest College on September 30 and at Ripon College on October 7.

Let me get this straight...  Beloit has homecoming THIS weekend?  Two questions:

1. It's a little early, isn't it? 
2. YOU SCHEDULED MONMOUTH AS YOUR HOMECOMING OPPONENT???   

You have a home game the following weekend against Knox.  That would've made a little more sense, wouldn't it?

Curiously submitted,

I think Beloit actually has a shot at Monmouth. Looks like Carroll had an excellent game plan last week against Rankinen and the Pioneers might be the surprise team of the league. If they improve as much this year as they did last, they'll be right in there. Monmouth, on the other hand, has a boatload of pressure in duplicating last year. If they don't win it all this year - with all the experience they have coming back - you can chalk last year's victory over St. Norbert as a fluke. If Monmouth doesn't repeat, than last year was a fluke. Speaking of the Knights what's up with 50 point victory? It makes my stomach cringe to see such a flagrant display of unsportsmanship and disrespect. Guess their 49-7 margin at the end of the fourth quarter wasn't safe enough, so they needed punch it in twice more in the fourth quarter. Nothing like a 50 or 60 point win to soothe memories of Whitewater.

One incomplete pass and one fake punt are the only questionable unsportsmanlike/disrespectful plays in the 4th quarter.  The only person who knew about the fake punt was Forstrom.  He called it on his own which the coaching staff allows him to do.  Check out the names listed here and see if any of them are starters (they aren't).
Also, I'm sure the attempted castration of Cody Craig in the pile at the end zone by a Grinnell defender was unintentional and clean.

[fightintitan2006]

hardscarbble, I have to agree and disagreee with you...
-Not sure beloit has a shot this weekend

-you cant call it a fluke if monmouth loses to SNC this year...QB is the most important position on the field and Tanney may have been the best in MWC history

-not sure SNC needed to rub it in by 50, but I am sure it is the old adage about wanting people to see evrything you have on film..not saying its right or wrong

[kiltman85]

I have to agree with PapaSmurf on this one.  You can't call it disrespect if there are no starters in the game.  That is just showing how deep Norbert really is. 


And Tanney was the greatest passer in MWC history......77% completion, that's rediculous

[hjmphelp]

papasmurf-

What was the score at the end of the 3rd Quarter? 49-7

No starters? At least 3 on the field through most of the 4th according to the Radio announcer. Mainly 2nd stringers til very late.

Punters choice at 49-7? Doesn't the coach have the option to say kick only, or does he not have control of his team?

How deep is St Norbert? Nearly 100 players on the sideline is very deep. How many of them got significant minutes in the 4th quarter? Grinnell-with a very limited squad-was in to the deep reserves at many positions by mid 4th.

This game will be remembered.
