The usual tailgating spot is right there on campus near the tennis courts. However, I have been told that this is going to be used exclusively for parking only and that the tailgating area will be up at the legion by the baseball fields. However, I think this is the dumbest idea ever and I will be on campus somewhere starting at about 8 or 9am.

I had to think about your post for a minute, Mav, but yes, he's been in contact and claims he'll be going at 6:30 Saturday morning - I think I'll see him about 9:00...

And just a quick note to the AU fans - if you think some of the MC posters are talking smack, just be glad you're not playing St. John's.  Those Johnnies fans sure know how to talk trash...'I guess that's better than eating it'. (for you, Scottie Seinfeld).  Three years ago I think they sent an MC poster into hiding - I don't think he's posted since (see Mav's post regarding the 'worst player...').  In his defense, though (and Mav can back me up on this), he's probably too busy working on his 'J', his swing and running out-routes.  

But at the game in '05, everyone was welcome during the tailgating and no intent was meant during the posts leading up to the game.

He told me the same thing about being there before the sun even comes up on Saturday.  I'm not planning on being there that early, but it's fine with me if he shows up then so he can hold down a parking spot until everyone else arrives around 9.  I can't remember what his poster name was on here...maybe he'll check the board in between jumpers, swings, and routes to drop some words of wisdom on us.   And yes, the Johnnie folks can talk the trash and fill up a message board better than anyone around.  But like you said, once Saturday morning rolled around and everyone was at the same tailgate spot, it was all fun.

wantland is probable.

Good news there...not just for the first round, but for next weekend also if the Scots can win on Saturday.

Maverick- sweet website. Do you go to the school?

I went to MC a few years ago, graduated in 2004 and played for the Scots from 2000-2003.  Thanks for the props on the website--I was born and raised in Monmouth, so I played all my football in the Maple City and that's why I started the site.  I'm just glad I was able to get it caught back up this weekend...had computer problems for the last 2 months, finally got it all ironed out, and am now able to update the site regularly again.

Maverick, where is the good tailgating gonna be at when arrive over there Saturday morning. I'll probably swing by the old fraternity house and see what is going on there first, but will be my first time back this year. I will definitly get there early to get a good parking spot. Looking forward to filling up my non clear plastic cup a few times.

The tailgating is usually in or right next to the big parking lot to the west of Bobby Woll Memorial Field, entrance to the lot is on 6th Street and the lot itself is just south of the tennis courts at the corner of 6th and Euclid.  Typically there are groups of people around there and you can't miss it, you'll see the tents set up in that area.  Most of the time, I'm a pre-game at the Legion with a burger and a beverage type of guy...but for the playoffs I'll probably be doing some tailgating in that lot.

You got that right Scots4. 

PS - Sorry my post is so long...at least it's not one big run-on paragraph.

Wow, all kinds of talk early in the week and now there's nothing new in almost 24 hours...and gametime is only about 24 hours away at this point!  Did we use up all our energy from Sunday through Thursday and there's nothing left in the tank now?

Too many papers to write before Turkey break. All done now, heading to the Maple City in 5 hours.

[formerscot4]

I was expecting more chatter also. I just joined these message boards this week. I hope to heading over to the game in the morning, its less than an hour from home so not too bad of a drive. I don't think I will be wearing my kilt though. Good luck to my alma mater GO SCOTS!!!! You can do it.

You must be planning for a big night if you're heading up to M-Town that early.

Congratulations to the players of the year in the Midwest Conference Offense Alex Tanney Monmouth, Defense Jeremey Winter Carrroll, and Coach of the year Steve Bell Monmouth. I thought these two players were most deserving of the awards, but could have gone a few different ways on defense, but Winter showed many that he was the best player in the conference especially with the two impressive interceptions for TD's he had this season to go along with his 16 TFL's, 6 forced fumbles, 2 recovered fumbles, and 5 sacks. Again, this award for defense could have gone many different ways (i.e. Bret Maloney from Grinnell, Anthony Goranson from Monmouth were two deserving players from the conference as well) Congratulations to all on there all conference recognition, and good luck to the Fighting Scots this weekend. Show some people what this conference is all about!!!

D3Football.com experts pick MC going away...

Keith: Monmouth, 38-20
Ryan: Monmouth, 42-31
Pat: Monmouth, 30-13

I think Aurora has a great chance for the upset, but have to agree with the D3guys.. I'll say

MC 31, Aurora 21

Scottie has touched down in Monmouth.  The "temporary fencing" isn't too distracting.  But all of you kids buy your tickets like good boys and girls.

Cool. The Aurora @Mt. Monmouth game is available on PennAtlantic/MWCTV and best of all it's free. Sounds like I'll be tailgating from the couch today.

Good first half for the Scots! 20-0. A couple of nice pick offs and some timely plays have them in good shape. #92 for Aurora is really good at DT. I did not realize Heinz on of the RB's for the Spartans played for them. He was from our local HS team. He made a couple of nice runs,  good to see he is still playing.

Keep it up Scots and lets the V!!!!
