FB: Midwest Conference

[Klopenhiemer]

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...

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 

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.

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. 

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!!

Dont start with me BoBo....You never came through during the pre-season so I do not hold your statements to much of any regard.

Aurora's defense has created a boat-load of turnovers the last several games. I'll say that for the Spartans.

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

OK. I have been extremely busy but have to take a minute to post. Let's see. Do I go with the team from my conference? Or do I go with the team down the street? Let's See

GO MIDWEST CONFERENCE!!!

I will root for MWC and in this game I pick Monmouth!

Roop. Don't you start stirring the pot again. I know you and you like to create locker room reading for opponents.

Good luck to all.

[The Roop]

True, but I only create locker room material for the team that can't win. Beloit 21 St. Norbert St. 42 for example. 

[The Roop]

Perhaps a little confusing on my last post. I meant to say UW-St. Norbert State. LOL.

[MWCfan787]

Aurora's defense has created a boat-load of turnovers the last several games. I'll say that for the Spartans.

It's gonna be a test for that defense that they haven't had yet, they'll find out on Saturday if they can truly cover people.

[The Roop]

I still like the Scots front 4 to pressure the QB.

Ahhh, time to fill out my brackets.  Let's see...for my Final Four:

Mt. Monmouth
UCLA

Forecast right now for Monmouth, IL on Saturday....43 and partly cloudy...should be decent enough for the pass game, if they move on though the weather might not cooperate and I hope the Scots are focusing on that run game.

[The Roop]

scottie, while I think that Mt. Monmouth takes those teams easily, this is still the D3 football play offs, not basketball. Keep it real in other words.

First, congrats to Monmouth on the undefeated regular season and MWC championship!  Second, it's already been said but I'll go ahead and agree, it's great when the playoffs roll around and more people show up to support or do a little smack-talking...either way, it makes the board more interesting and it's all in good fun!  Third, this has also already been mentioned but I'll say it again, a home playoff game against Aurora is a great opportunity for the Scots to get their first playoff win...now just stay focused on the Spartans and get the job done!

scottie - Glad to see that you'll be in attendance on Saturday.  I'll be in the Maple City for this one as well.

[Scots4]

I too will make the trip from Macomb up to Monmouth for this game.

Monmouth 35-24
