FB: Midwest Conference

badgerwahawk - Yes it was a couple years ago in the 2004 season that St. Norbert gave UW-LaCrosse all they could handle in the first round.  SNC actually led that game 23-10 midway through the 4th quarter before LAX rallied to win 37-23 as the Knights just couldn't quite finish the job.  And it was just 31-23 before the final play of the game where an SNC pass was intercepted and returned 90+ yards for the final TD.  Hopefully the Knights can get another good showing like that in this year's playoffs.

WOW, LAX coming from behind and scoring 27 points in the last quarter of a game.........who'd a thought!    UWW had the lead in the 2005 game at the beginning of the 4th quarter, 23-9.  After LAX came back on them, UWW won 29-23 scoring the go-ahead TD with 46 seconds left in the game. No team is more dangerous than LAX when they are down in the 4th.  Maybe everyone can stop questioning the coaches decision to leave Beaver in at the start of the 4th quarter of the 06 UWW/UWLC game with the score 31-10 now.

It's another tough bracket in the west this year.  I think Norbert will play tough, but I don't think they can get past Whitewater at Perkins Stadium.

I agree.

The beer's been in my trunk for two years.  You never showed up to claim it.  It's yours if you still want it.  I'm not sure of the shelf life of Blatz, however.
Double or nothing is a sucker's bet but I'll decline in spite of myself.

[badgerwarhawk]

Two times you don't even ask for points and now you think it's a sucker's bet.

The all conference teams have been announced.Any thoughts?Looks like some guys made team based on past history not on how they played this year.It's to bad some guys had good years and got passed over.I know Ripon had a good year but 5 db's making all conference look's a little ??  to me.I don't know who picks this team or what criteria they use so if anyone has that info please let me know.

If I had asked for the points needed to win (33 in the first bet or 15 in the second), you probably wouldn't have given them to me so me asking for none is moot.  Besides, the only thing I cared about was watching the Knights win (sadly disappointed). I didn't really care about winning the bets.
Ticker lost a bet to you also.  Did you ever get him to pay up?

What would be a fair point spread?

[PapaSmurf]

I've seen guesses around here where UWW is favored  from -10 all the way up to -102.  I'm thinking UWW -35.  Of course I'm hoping for a David vs Goliath type game.

I read in Around The Region that SNC doesn't have enough stones (i.e. offensive weapons) to hang with the Warharwks.  Who are the top players for SNC? Would anyone with knowledge like to step up and inform us?

[PapaSmurf]

At WR:  #85 Judd O'Connell - Great hands, made some textbook sideline catches this year
At TE:  #86 John Laughlin - Great hands, big target,  reliable third down receiver

more later

Ticker, that's the name I was trying to remember.  No, actually he never has paid up.  Is he still around here?

I'll tell you what.  I'll give you 24 points and we can go double or nothing.  How's that?  Same deal for Ticker if he wants to take it.

I thought you rich, private guys drank imports.

I only saw them play once this year .They rotated their running backs and #22 got most of the work .I thought #47 was bigger and more effective and he scored a couple times.The tight end is big and has good hands.They have a very good kicker/punter in #3 and I think he is going to get a lot of work.They seemed very undisciplind and avg.about 10 penalitys a game.If they can cut down on the mistakes I hope they can give the MWC a good showing.Good luck SNC

I don't think the specialist play a big role in this game, it will be a dominating performance in the trenches by UWW and that will lead to ST NUBS having to come back from behind throwing the ball, and in turn leading to several TO's b/c they really have not been tested coming from behind..........  UWW by 3-5 TD's over in the third quarter.

Sorry it took so long for me to reply but the satellite went out on my yacht and I had to chopper in a repair man from the Caymans.  Don't you hate when that happens?
Ticker's been awol all year along with most of the XSNCs.  They must have got jobs or lives.  I, however, have no life and am still here as a result.

At RB:  #47 Alec Getschow is a good, dependable back who alternated with #22 AJ Phillips until AJ was injured.  Unrelated to to football, I heard Alec doesn't work well in group projects.   #44 Josh O'Conner is also a pretty good, versatile back.  He's the blocking back in passing situations and the usual target on screens.  He's like a fire hydrant with legs.
