FB: Midwest Conference

[The Roop]

Mt. Monmouth 47 Arlen Freshmen 6

Ouch! Are you trying to jinx the conference representative?

42-6 (with a missed field goal) before Mt. Monmouth put the JV defense in. Don't question my predictions in the future

it wasnt even a contest... turnovers were the difference...

Wartburg downs Stevens Point, which is the better second round draw for MC in my opinion. If you are comparing scores, the Loras and SNC results certainly favor Wartburg, not to mention they beat Monmouth in 2006 and 2007. 

Still, as an outsider who doesn't know much about Wartburg, they appear to have been a little inconsistent this season. They also shouldn't have the complete book on MC, as the 2006 team had a QB making a first career start in a run-orientated offense led by Daniels. The 2007 loss was Tanney's first career start as well, so I am sure those playbooks were pretty vanilla compared to next week.

Does Monmouth host based on being the higher seed? I should probably know this, but hey, playoff wins are a rarity around here.

Well! I guess you settled the argument with Aurora, didn't you?
Congratulations to the Scots.

According to what I've read, the higher seed hosts, so you guys should get to have Wartburg come to your house. They travel well and are good people. We played them twice in the playoffs a few years back.

Congratulations and Good Luck in the Play offs to the Fighting Scots.  You certainly were the better team today.  Five turnovers hurt the Spartans but I have to give credit to QB Alex Tanney.  He had an excellent game.

AU had a great season and will be in the mix for the NATHC Championship next season.  Good luck to all the seniors on both teams in their life after college football.

How do you play the same team twice in the play offs ?? Did Donovan McNabb seed the field or something ??

Played them two years in the play offs makes more sense.

Congrats!

Monmouth will host Wartburg next weekend in round 2. Great game for the Scots. Besides a few plays by #92 and couple other Spartans, the passing game looked good.
the Spartans front four played pretty well, bu tthe well timed passing game was too much for them.

Lets keep it going next weekend against the Knights, could be a barnburner. At least we have a little idea of what they from playing them the last couple of years. Hope they bring a good crowd. Should be an exciting day in the Maple City, our crowd needs to come out in droves to support this. I do not htink many people realize how big a day this could be. As a proud alum I will be there with my non clear plastic cup!!

GO sCOTS!!!

Yes, that's what I meant. We played them two years in a row. I wasn't very clear.

[The Roop]

LOL. You're forgiven coco. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Oh crap, that's a tie too isn't it.......

[coco]

Thanks.

Hey, do you know if there will be any sort of webcast next Saturday?

[The Roop]

No, but I suggest checking the Mt. Monmouth website or PennAtlantic.com

[formerscot4]

No, but I suggest checking the Mt. Monmouth website or PennAtlantic.com

Why do you keep calling them Mt Monmouth? Just Monmouth

[scottie]

formerscot4:  The Roop is just showing MC a little love, as in comparing the mighty Scots to the Purple Raiders of Mount Union.  Get it? 

I was very impressed with the Scots today, as everybody should have been.  I think Wartburg should be a major leap from Aurora in terms of talent, but you have to play who is in front of you first.  I'll give the AU fans some props on their site.  They cheered hard for their team, even when there was no doubt about the outcome. 

[The Roop]

Sorry scottie but I wasn't impressed as Mt. Monmouth didn't match my prediction exactly; but I think I got it close enough to forecast another.

Mt. Monmouth 17 Wartburg 13 on a last second play.
