As you all can imagine I am a little disappointed like every one else on how Carroll ended there season!

Rogers got hurt in the second quarter of the Lawerance game. 2nd string Senior Qb also hurt his knee in the Lawerance game but played the whole 2nd half.  3rd string Senior Qb messed up his ankle early last week roller bladding!!!  So basically you lose 3 Senior QB's in 1 week! Which is nuts!!!! 

The freshman was on scout team all year and obviously probably thought he would never get a chance!  But you just never know!!!!

I was at the game and Carroll played extremely well in the 2nd half and I honestly thought the game was over!  But Lake Forest drove 90 yards in a minute and a half and won by 1 point! #7 Dan Carter tore us up on that drive!! I felt horrible for the seniors because they know they are a lot better than what they showed!

Injuries are horrible!  Carroll was also without 2 of there best athletes, (Saftey Issac Hamilton and Qb Chris Rogers)   

Good Luck to St. Norberts!!! I hope you guys get a home playoff game and represent the conference well! You never know what can happen in the playoffs!  Just like a few years back when they almost beat UW Lacrosse! It comes down to what team wants it more!

And about Carroll players getting in other players faces!!!!!!! I dont know where this is coming from??? I think that goes both ways??  That was just a weird comment!!!!!!!!!

That comment comes in regards to a classless program where players of the Carroll team are in the faces of guys & talkin smack to Lawrence, Norbert, & Monmouth players during the post-game.  I have heard about this happening in all three of these games.  Tells you something about the program.

]

I think You are 100% wrong to call out Carroll as a classless program!  You are disrespecting many people when you say that!  If anything I would say we have one of the more classy programs in the MWC! Before you've came on this board I never heard any negative feedback on Carroll!

You probably never played football in the MWC and your just a fan who thinks he knows everything!   

And about Carroll players getting in other players faces!!!!!!! I dont know where this is coming from??? I think that goes both ways??  That was just a weird comment!!!!!!!!!

sncfballfan-  Really glad you could make it on here for the last week of the season!   Im glad you lost respect for me because I dont care! 

Carroll got beat fair and square and I understand that!  Chris Rogers got hurt when the score was 14-7 in the second quarter! So LU Fan it was not a blow out at all. If my memory serves me right Carroll missed a field goal to make it 14-10!  LU could not stop Crocker! On 1 drive it was Crocker getting the ball every time!  He did rush for 213 yards!

Carroll did have more total yards 340-304, more first downs, and more time of possesion!  It comes down to LU making more big plays!  Eric Aspenson is a good athlete and #24 Micke had a great game! Carroll could not stop him.  This was not a blow out by any means!  Carroll played there worst game of the year and looked extremly flat!

I truly believe Carroll is a much better team but for some odd reason Carroll always plays down to LU's level when they play at the Banta Bowl.  This reminds me of 2 seasons ago when Carroll Lost 38-36 on a last minute field goal at the Banta Bowl!   I feel sorry for all the seniors because they came so close to making it there year! Still proud of all of you for what you've done for the program!

It doesnt help when there best athlete Issac Hamilton suffered a carrer ending injury in the first quarter of the St.Norbert game............................

I am not trying to offend any one on this board,  I dont think I've been too bad!  Yes, I can be a little bias but who wouldnt when you play 4 years for a program you care a lot about?!

Also, looks like the IC-Monmouth game was very close!  I told you Joe Reed is a good athlete!

1 more Fan-  The game starts at 5:00 Sharp!  I will be there to see the Pio's whoop on LU!

Havent been on here in a few days! First of all I want to Congrats to St. Norbert on clinching the title.  Do I personally think they were the best team?  Definately not!!!  Carroll was much more impressive and beat them in every category!  But that doesnt matter anymore!

Well this weeks picks!

Ripon at Grinnell - Ripon will run all over Grinnell!  Ripon wins 42-10

Knox at Lake Forest - Lake Forest will improve to .500 in the midwest with a win over a hurting praire fire! LFC wins 28-7

Illinois College at Monmouth - Monmouth will win, but Joe Reed is an athlete so dont take IC lightly!  Monmouth wins 35-14

Beloit at #RV/18 St. Norbert - 1:30 p.m. - This is going to be ugly! St. Norbert starters will be out after the 1st quarter! Will Judd O'Connell go over 1000 yards receiving??  St. Norbert will win 52-7

Carroll at Lawrence - Carroll will continue to take out there frustrations on not beating St.Norbert!!!!!!  This one is all Carroll!  Carroll dominated LU last year and expect the same thing again!  Crocker is 55 yards away from 1000 yards and he already has 13 tds!  Rogers had a great game last week and expect another great performance!  Gould is still playing tough and is in the top 5 in D3 for catches for tight ends!  and Carroll's Defense is soo tough!  It always has been in recent years and will continue to be!  

Good luck to all and for seniors out there you have 2 games left make them count! Because when its all done you will miss it!
 

Sorry for the late response to last weeks game!

But I was frustrated because Carroll out played St. Norberts in almost every category! but yet finds a way to lose.  I along with everyone else in the stadium felt Carroll was going to kick the field goal and win the game! Everything was set up perfect, there was still a minute left and we were all they way down to the 40 yard line! 

It basically is  the same situation of when St. Norberts came last time to Waukesha!!!!  Norberts is well coached!  and they are a program that is use to winning and they find a way to do it even when they get out played!

Good job Ripon on beatig Monmouth! Beat Norberts and make things more interesting for the rest!

GURU TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY week 7 pics............

Beloit at IC-  Even though Jennings is out for the year IC will still win! There recievers are talented and there back up is ok. 27-10

Lake Forest at Grinnell:  Lake Forest will make it 3 in row and beat Grinnell out in the corn fields.  31-21

Knox at Lawrence- Knox is coming off a big win last week, this one might be close but Knox should win.  Knox wins 24-17

Monmouth at Ripon-  I wanna say Ripon can do it but something tells me Monmouth will win!  After a 405 yard game by Alex Tanney what will he do against a decent Ripon Secondary?  Monmouth wins 21-14

GAME OF THE WEEK
St. Norbert at Carroll-  This is Carroll's dream to beat Norberts at home for first place!  Carroll has respect for Norberts but this has been a good week of practice and they will be prepared to play on Saturday!  Carroll wins 24-17!!!!!!  Crocker will rack up the yards on the ground and Rogers will pick apart the defense.  I know St. Norberts has many weapons and a team not to take lightly!!!! This will be a fun game to watch!!!

MWC alum- You are right on many of your pics!  You are right Drake is a great O-lineman!  Who did you play for last year??

Bball- It comes down to Carroll's DB's are talented!  This week will be a good test for them. 

For such a big week chatter on here has been very poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is everyone thinking about the games this week?

I beg to differ!!!!  I dont think Ripon's line is that impressive!!  Obviously there going to run the ball because thats all there boring offense does!!!  Although as a Linebacker I loved playing Ripon because more action for us!  Carroll's and Norberts line is definately tougher!

mwcSNC-  I apolize for this mistake!!!!!  You going to make the game?

MWCDAD & SNCOLDAD- Yes, I do believe you can still tailgate on the hill parking lot which overlooks the field! 

And SNCOLDAD you must be crazy if you think I am going to pick St.Norberts to beat Carroll!  Its my b-day Saturday and I think Carroll will suprise everyone with a win!!!! I do have respect for St.Norberts but the guys know how important this game is! (For them and the program)  Carroll's defense if tough! Carroll wins!!!!!!!!!!!! and Carroll's facilities and field are the best in the conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like the guru expected all of my pics were right again!  Carroll looking good again and ready for the Green Knights to roll into "The Sha" this weekend!  Believe me Carroll will be ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last time the Green Knights came into "The Sha" the Pio's took it to them! Yes, they did win by a point in a last minute come back but Carroll has always played tough at home!

We have some very good match ups this weekend which will help determine which directions teams are going!  Im excited!

Duck Duck- I dont appreciate you hating on my cousin Benny!!  His blogs are hilarious and he is a beast (Not to mention his big cousin is too! ) 

What are people thinking about this week?

Oh yeah SNCOLDAD there is always tons of tailgaiting at Carroll, and there is decent room for your fans too! But one rule No Kegs!

Bball- You are right my friend my name is Chris!  Now that you know who I am you should reveal who you are!

We have agreed on many things which makes me like you, but now on to the Cody Craig issue!  Cody Craig is a good QB and has great numbers as of right now!  17 td's and only 4 int's is great!  But Norberts hasnt really been challenged yet!  Norberts has a real tough stretch coming up with some really good defenses!!!!! Really GOOD!!!!!!!!! So lets wait 2 weeks and then we will have a better indication of where he will stand after playing Monmouth then Carroll!! (NOT TO MENTION THEY ARE BOTH AWAY GAMES!!!!!!) 

We did agree that Hamilton is a great player!  But how dont you know about Linebacker Jeremy Winter??  He was a first team all-conference pick last year and led the conference in sacks and tfl!!! He played awesome at Ripon and he will continue too!  I understand Gould isnt in the top 10 in receiving but if you look at the stats Carroll hasnt been passing much because many teams cant stop are run!!!

Any thoughts???

Sorry I forgot to finish my Game of the Week Predictions!
Monmouth is a very tough team and will have the Home field advantage but for some reason St.Norberts may be too tough!  It all depends on how well Monmouth's D can stop Cody Craig and Judd O'Connell! 

I do think Alex Tanney is a very good QB for a Freshman and Monmouth has a real good kicker and decent Defense!  Basically its going to come down to who wants it more! Im gonna say Norberts wins 21-17!!! Gonna be close!!
