FB: Midwest Conference

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

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

I guess losing to MU wouldn't be so bad.  Watching SNC lose to UWW 3 straight times, that was rough.  Of course, the SJU faithful will know that same feeling in a few weeks.

Perhaps, but it sure as heck won't be in the first round

     You should go back to the DuffMan picture.  I liked it more and that MIAC championship trophy is almost as worthless as one from the MWC or IBC.

That's the Walnut and Bronze in that picture.

AKA the national championship trophy.

Damn..PC beat me...You get the trophy in Duffman's avatar from winning the National Championship.  That game occurs 4 games after the first round!

#1 - What Pat said.

#2 - A MIAC championship trophy is only as worthless as the MWC one if Bethel should happen to win it.

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. 

I can't speak for the Carroll and Ripon posters, but for myself as a Monmouth poster, I think I'm fairly consistent on the board.  I'm not going to chime in on every single issue that is brought up here; but I usually will if it's something that I have knowledge of, and if it isn't, then typically I don't.  Or maybe I'm off base with that...would have to get the ruling of another consistent poster I guess.

SNCOLDAD - You asked yesterday how is Monmouth...all I can say is that they're surviving right now; I just don't have all the info on who has missed games and why they missed those games--injury, staph infection, other reason, etc.  I'm pretty sure there have been a few players, ones that were main contributors in games, who have missed the last couple weeks--probably due to staph.  And those who were missing may or may not have been a factor in the IC game being close and going into OT on Saturday. 

Fighting Scots - Good luck this weekend against Knox!  Seniors, make sure that this last week of practice and this final game isn't something that you will remember, but rather something that you will never forget!  What other MC fans will be making the trip to Galesburg on Saturday?

PapaSmurf;  This is getting fun... in the MIAC they also make us play with 11 players.   

Developing...

[PapaSmurf]

     I actually thought that's what it was but I've never seen (won't ever see?) it up close.   My joke wouldn't have worked the other way.

     I know Pat, it's on the front page.
     
     Give me some time and I'll figure out what the 11 player comment meant...

      Still haven't figured it out but I'll post this anyway.

Like I said Papa... it's gonna be fun!   

[CCAlum23]

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.

I think You are 100% wrong to call out Carroll as a classless program!  You are disrespecting many people when you say that!  If anything I would say we have one of the more classy programs in the MWC! Before you've came on this board I never heard any negative feedback on Carroll!

You probably never played football in the MWC and your just a fan who thinks he knows everything!   

[1morefan]

SNCfballfan – Who are you calling a classless program!? No way is Carroll a classless program, in fact Coach Henny is one of the classiest people you will ever meet and doesn't tolerate stupidity! Are you kidding me, everything you mentioned in your post is the same crap that every other school in the MWC did when I played – I've been in the bottom of piles and my ankles cranked by Ripon, SNC, and IC, a kid from Beloit even spit in my face, and the list goes on...so before you attack a program and call us classless you better evaluate what everyone else does! 

[mwcSNC]

Apparently people get alittle defensive on this board... can't we all just get along? 

Ha ha.

[SNCOLDAD]

Easy Guys. Please. Lets not go down that road. Every program has its negatives and every program has its positives. When you call out an individual or school, you better be ready to be called out yourself. All have been there at one time or another. This is not the route for any MWC Fan to take.

THanks for the info on Monmouth health. That is not a good situation and around Chicago they are having high schools shut down for a day when they find someone with Staph.

Is the Carroll QB out for the final game? Or was he just knocked out of the game but OK?

SNC had a fair amount of guys not dressed for their game last Saturday. There wew a number in street cloths and I know of at least one not even at the game that is part of the 2 deep. Hope all return for the last regular season game.

Best of health to all and look forward to visiting Illinois College.

Are the SNC fans planning on making the journey down to IC this weekend?  Hopefully we can get a good crowd to support the knights on their march to the NCAA playoffs in hope of a home playoff bid in the 1st round.  Just saw the latest AFCA poll and SNC moved up to #11 for all it is worth. 

Now that the season is in its last week, what are everyone's thoughts for Player of the Year; Offensive & Defensive, as well as Coach of the Year??? 

I'm going to be a homer on this one and say that the Green Knights run the table with Craig getting offensive honors (is there anyone else that could even make a push??  kid has made HUGE improvements and led his team to the title by being in the top 15 in the nation in almost every passing category), Jay Arndt getting defensive honors (human wrecking ball on the DL and his stats say enough), and Coach Jim Purtill adding to his amazing resume.  Let's hear some input.
