Roops,

you obviously do not watch SNC football very much. Their punters are taught the run before the punt. Of course you don't mention that they had punted the play before, but Beloit had a Running Into The Kicker for 5 yards. Now that made it 4th and about 2. When Beloit decided to not cover the run which SNC does every punt, he went for it. So it is not like that play is called from the sidelines. It is taught for every punt play.

By the way, 55-9 Final.

The Roop · October 27, 2007, 10:16:44 PM

The point is, they were up 41-3 at the time. I don't care what happened the previous down. Nor do I care what their punters are taught. A fake punt up 41-3 is classless. Kick it away because you are going to win even if Beloit returns it for a score.

Yes St. NorbertS, your Juniors and Seniors are much better than Beloits Sophomores and Freshmen. Win by 1 point and it's still only one win. Win by 46 and it's still one win. I hope the NCAA bans vasoline in the playoffs and you bastards get what you deserve.

The game was won in the first half. No need for trick plays like that.

Here's an idea............... How about if St. Norbert goes to Mt. Union in the first round........

Huge win for Lawrence over Carroll! They've done a great job bouncing back from a rough beginning of the season.

SNCOLDAD · October 28, 2007, 09:28:33 AM

Roop, I am impressed. You showed your true colors with that posting. Not going there myself. So have a great week. Hope your dreams come true. And I will also pray for you.

By the way, I would like to compliment the wide receivers for Beloit. I heard 1 is a freshman. He has a great set of hands and is willing to cross the middle. Good looking receiver.

The Roop · October 28, 2007, 11:12:25 AM

My venting is over so you can go there if you like. LOL. As far as I'm concerned it's on to next week. Lets not forget that I was equally, if not more upset, about Beloit trying the on-side kick against Ripon down 56-9 with under a minute left a couple weeks ago. Did they think they were going to recover and score, then do it 6 more times to win ?? So I'm not beating up St. Norbert for the sake of beating up St. Norbert. Excuse me, St. Norberts

Rather there are simply some things that are unnecessary.

Yes, Julian Ross is the "first year"

and Nate Tate, another potential stand out receiver is only a sophomore. Nate's been nursing a bum knee so his playing time was limited this year. Hopefully he is ready in time for basketball season. The thing I like about Julian the best is he keeps going forward when he's in traffic instead of attempting 7 or 8 fakes that loses yardage.

Great game for LU. Did the CC QB get hurt? Reading the game stats it looked liked they had a new Qb second half.

LUFAN11 · October 28, 2007, 08:59:34 PM

The Carroll QB did get hurt in the first half, but that was not the reason LU won. LU whooped up Carroll the whole game. LU offensive has been on a roll, winning their last 4 of 5 games.

SNCOLDAD · October 28, 2007, 09:28:49 PM

Roop, thanks. I agree that running out of punt formation when up by that score is kind of, well leave it at that.

OK. LU beat CC?

What??? Oh, and the CC QB was injured and that had no afect on teh game?

Details people!! When and what was happening before that.

Also, how is Monmouth???

First time poster & have been following the conference and this site for nearly quite a few years now and find it amazing on the amount of fans for Carroll, Ripon, & Monmouth are so out-spoken when your teams are winning and yet so quiet when they fail to claim the crown. Has been a very fun year to watch, being a SNC fan, as they have found yet another way to get to the top. I have a lot of respect for every team in the conference, but have lost a lot of that this year to Carroll as Mr. Chris Albanese & Co. are unbelievable with some of their comments on here as well as their players feeling the need to get in opposing teams faces after the games.

Great effort goes out to all of the teams and best of luck to everyone this final weekend in conference play. Hopefully the Craig/O'Connell show will find it's way down to Jacksonville as they are on the verge of breaking numerous season and career records as well.

Might as well get the first round loss over with in a big way

CCAlum23 · October 29, 2007, 01:08:49 PM

sncfballfan- Really glad you could make it on here for the last week of the season! Im glad you lost respect for me because I dont care!

Carroll got beat fair and square and I understand that! Chris Rogers got hurt when the score was 14-7 in the second quarter! So LU Fan it was not a blow out at all. If my memory serves me right Carroll missed a field goal to make it 14-10! LU could not stop Crocker! On 1 drive it was Crocker getting the ball every time! He did rush for 213 yards!

Carroll did have more total yards 340-304, more first downs, and more time of possesion! It comes down to LU making more big plays! Eric Aspenson is a good athlete and #24 Micke had a great game! Carroll could not stop him. This was not a blow out by any means! Carroll played there worst game of the year and looked extremly flat!

I truly believe Carroll is a much better team but for some odd reason Carroll always plays down to LU's level when they play at the Banta Bowl. This reminds me of 2 seasons ago when Carroll Lost 38-36 on a last minute field goal at the Banta Bowl! I feel sorry for all the seniors because they came so close to making it there year! Still proud of all of you for what you've done for the program!

It doesnt help when there best athlete Issac Hamilton suffered a carrer ending injury in the first quarter of the St.Norbert game............................

I am not trying to offend any one on this board, I dont think I've been too bad! Yes, I can be a little bias but who wouldnt when you play 4 years for a program you care a lot about?!

Also, looks like the IC-Monmouth game was very close! I told you Joe Reed is a good athlete!

CCAlum23 · October 29, 2007, 01:13:29 PM

And about Carroll players getting in other players faces!!!!!!! I dont know where this is coming from?

?? I think that goes both ways?? That was just a weird comment!!!!!!!!!

That comment comes in regards to a classless program where players of the Carroll team are in the faces of guys & talkin smack to Lawrence, Norbert, & Monmouth players during the post-game. I have heard about this happening in all three of these games. Tells you something about the program.

LUFAN11 · October 29, 2007, 01:30:34 PM

CCAlum: remember LU also missed a field goal in the first half, so the score could have been 17-7 at half just as easy. The Carroll players were trying to twist the LU QB's ankles in the pile. They were also trying to smack him under his face guard, its funny the inside of the face guard was all scratched up after the game. Carroll's RB is a good runner and LU had trouble stopping him, but I think he would have had the same carrries no matter who the QB was.
