SNC have a chance to lose at all or are they on mop up duty?

I wouldn't call it mop up duty. While they seemed to take the 1st quarter off in their last game, they will need to play from the start in this one. IC isn't likely to pull the upset but their defense is sound. In a way this is a no win situation for SNC as they must win by a certain amount to be impressive but they can't "run it up" either. A 21-0 game would look good for them.

Roop, why do you say that SNC can't run it up this weekend?  AND a 28-0 lead after twenty minutes into the game doesn't seem like a bad start in my mind

SNC Gentlemen, if you check out the boards...............just win!!
Doesn't matter who you play, where you play it, or past records.  Stay with your season mantra of one game at a time & DOMINATE.

I think IC might be a closer game than SNC fans like myself want to see.  While I'm confident that they will win I don't forcast a blowout (feel free to prove me wrong......I have no problem with it

    If CLU wins out against Pomona Pitzer 2-5 and Redlands 6-1 they are in.

They are also in if they beat PP and lose to Redlands, if OXY beats Whittier in their last game.

          OXY                   5-1
          REDLANDS         5-1
          CLU                   5-1

CLU gets AQ based on the Rose Bowl Rule the team that has not made the playoffs in longest time      for CLU that = never

Acronyms....Acronyms.....Acronyms!      I wish I have been here on this website for years so I knew what was trying to be stated. Oh Well.

Just keep the faith.

GO KNIGHTS!

If you'd read this week's Around the Nation, you could've learned what AQ stands for.

Do stop by the front page and read -- you'd miss less.

They had great field position in the 1st quarter and that translated into 14 points. I realize that watching on the internet doesn't give me the exact feel of how the game is going but they didn't really seem that inspired to me. The INT for the touchdown in the second quarter really got them going however and it was off to the races after that.

I believe they are capable of running it up this weekend but I'm not sure if they should. It doesn't help their strength of schedule argument, when it comes to getting a home game, to continually pound the rest of an average conference. Unfortunately they have too many blow out wins to give the rest of the conference much credit, although it is improving. There was for a while a legitimate 4 team race this year and I can't remember the last time that happened.

Ultimately it will come down to what they do in the play offs as far as gaining respect for the conference goes. All things being equal the #4 should get to host a game but things are not equal due to the size of the west region.

Thanks for the link Pat. I get the email and just click on that. It brings me right to the board. I will try to stop by the home page more often.

Any chance that Beloit avoids the goose-egg?

Week 9 MWC Games

Grinnell at Beloit - GC, I-Pios get the win in the battle for the basement
St. Norbert at Illinois College - SNC, no repeat of 2001--much like each year since that shocker took place
Monmouth at Knox - MC, Scots roll in another Turkey Bowl
Lawrence at Ripon - RC, Vikes play tough but Hawks win comfortably
Lake Forest at Carroll - CC, Wi-Pios rebound for a win after last week's surprise loss

This is one of the few times that Beloits offensive line may actually be even with or bigger than the defensive line they will be facing. So there shouldn't be too many jail breaks and look out blocks. They should be able to establish some consistency and sustain drives. Grinnell is probably the slight favorite but I think Beloit can get it done 28-23.

KNIGHTS WIN

SNC RUNS THE TABLE FOR A UNDEFEATED SEASON!!!! 10-0 Season

SNC 31  to IC 27

It was a Hard Fought Game....

Lets go Knights... Tighten up before the Playoffs.  Hopefully we locked down a home game at Miniham Stadium.

[qbfan413]

Congrats to the Green Knights.........this game felt like Carroll all over again........yikes.
It was a great team win and once again when part of the game struggled the other was there to pick it up....amazing job to the TEAM and kudos on back to back undefeated regular seasons of play

The MWCTV feed was worthless but the Bucs saved their ship. 1-9 builds a lot more confidence for next year than 0-10 does. Linemen, linemen, linemen............ They should be the priority for the recruiting effort.
