It sounds like UW Stout is a pretty good party school. 
I wish I would have went there.

Yes Hero it is true, #10 is allowed to play until he breaks the punt return yardage and int. records! Cause he couldn't do it in 5 seasons

Is the LFC baseball team going on a spring trip this year?

[Pat Coleman]

Good question. You should ask on the baseball board.

With some schools gearing up for spring ball is there any chance that the MWC will ever change their view on it and off campus recruiting??

I heard the Lawrence QB from 2003-2005 seasons will be back in 2007.  That should help the rising Vikings.  He was 3rd in overall offense in 2005.

The April 23, 2007 edition of Sports Illustrated has an excellent article about the Carlisle Indians and their contribution to modern football as we know it.

The article does contain a reference to the "first downfield overhand spiral" which was completed on September 5, 1906, by Saint Louis Univeristy QB Bradbury Robinson to teammate Jack Schneider against Carroll College.

A more notable pass was completed by Wesleyan on October 3, 1906, against Yale.  Wesleyan's coach Howard R. Reiter claimed that he learned to throw the overhead spiral from a Carlisle Indian in 1903 when Reiter coached the semipro Philadelphia Football Athletics and that Indian was on the team.

Former Fighting Scot Mitch Tanney is the new starting QB for the Alabama Steeldogs of the af2 league.  He replaced starting QB Robert Kent (eye injury) late in the first half of their game on Saturday and led them to a win over Louisville.  Kent was then traded on Monday for another QB and the Alabama head coach says this solidifies Tanney as their new starter at QB.  Great news for a past player from the MWC!

Does anyone have a shot at knocking off St. Norbert this year?

From what I recall St. Norbert loses quite a bit on defense, while Monmouth, Carroll, Ripon and Illinois College return a lot on both sides of the ball.

That being said, Lake Forest and Ripon were the only MWC teams who played with them last year.

Can someone tell me how MWC TV will work? Will all games be shown?
