FB: Midwest Conference

Second, I am excited about the draw that Monmouth recieved. A home game against Aurora University.  They are the 8 seed and Aurora has not played very good opponents.

And Monmouth has?     Neither team has played anybody.   

IMO, you couldn't have asked for anything better...the way the bracket unfolds, IMO, this is the only way one of these two teams make it to the second round.  The survivor probably gets Stevens Point, which isn't favorable for either one.  You'll see...

[scottie]

First of all, it's not the "Scotties".....  just kidding.  Papa, where have you been?  The Roop's inclusion of "Mount" is a term of endearment.   

A wonderful opportunity for the Scots in the first round.  Scottie will be there - prep the VIP lounge.

As noted, SNC got the first playoff win for the conference in football.

That said, go Monmouth and win another one for the league.

Where did he say at all that Monmouth has played a tougher schedule? He was just making a statement about Aurora's schedule.

Stir that pot 

[Klopenhiemer]

I love it!!!  Once the playoffs start everyone comes onto eachothers boards and starts talking some smack. 

I'll take Momouth over Aurora every day of the week and I will be dollars to donuts that they whip up on the winner of the Warburg vs. UWSP game. 

[old man 89]

The thing that gets me is when everyone compares common opponets. I know that AU and MC are NOT the team they were in week 1 so the LF games means NOTHING!!! And stirring the pot is equally dumb..on our side as well as their side. Some willthink this is a cake-walk...but I would think not. Should be a heck of alot of fun.

[MWCalum]

hey roop did you get to the point game yesterday? if so what did you think?

From what ive seen on fsn point is maybe a lil overrated.. not saying they arent good cause they clearly are.. they are the wiac champ and beat the defending nat'l champs but i think they are beatable. Teams just dont seem to finish against em when they have a chance to take them out.

MC is gona win this one folks. I think the nathcon is less talented then the mwc.. and monmouth is for real.. O GOD watch out.. aurora has one guy with good numbers.. Ripon had at least 2 db's with legit numbers and look what happened there... torched.. we'll have to see how monmouths D will come out... That will be the key for them. And they can beat point..  time for the mwc to show up and get something done in the playoffs for once

[Scots4]

Nothing like offering your opponent some bulletin board material. Even asking about UW-SP at this point is ridiculously premature.

I did look at Aurora's schedule and they have a few players from the Monmouth area and many players from both schools teamed up in high school. Of course, the smart ones went to the Crimson and White.  8)

Not trying to "stir" the pot...IMO he was trying to distance his team with the team they are playing by calling into question a perceived weakness of the opponents schedule.  I'm simply pointing out, not my opinion - but a fact - that Monmonth hasn't played anyone of any significance either. It's sort of like the pot calling the kettle black.

Rather naive outlook IMO klopenhiemer, thinking that it only happens during play-off season.  You, of all people, should know better than that. 

I think you only make that bet with someone else's dollars and donuts!!

[The Roop]

No, but I wish I had. The snow never fell until late in the game and didn't amount to much any way.

Not sure I would call Point over rated as they have found ways to win. However, if things go the other way they could be a 3 or 4 loss team. Haven't picked a winner in my bracket yet.

[fightintitan2006]

For the overconfident MC fans, lets not forget that Aurora is also looking at the bracket saying this is best possible thing that could have happend to us as well.

[MWCfan787]

Exactly, I posted that on their board......they are thinking "We're an 8 seed and we get to play Monmouth"   Scots better have a chip on their shoulders and play with something to prove.  Respect all, fear none.

[scottie]

So, I guess Aurora is representing a newly-created conference.  Though they handled most of their conference opponents quite handily, I can't say that I recognize any of them as "football schools."  Their lone loss was to Illinois Wesleyan, a team which finished 6th in the CCIW.

BOTH of you 'lucked out' due to the bean-counters.  If the seeds had been followed, Aurora would be at Willamette, but Monmouth would be hosting St. John's.  Would you prefer that to Aurora? .

Good luck and may the best team win (by a fan of the only team to beat either of you so far)!

Perhaps, but I think their toughest conference opponents were the McMainerberry JV followed closely by Tom Landry Middle School. They'll be stepping way out of D3 in going to Mt. Monmouth I tell ya whut.
