The MWC won a playoff game and got two teams in during one season? There won't be anything to talk about on here during the offseason, no more ifs and buts.

Congrats to Monmouth, that was quite the thriller and fun to watch.

In 2008 Ripon was 4 points from going 9-0 in MWC play, so I am going to note that as a realistic shot at winning conference.

All I know is that MC is really losing only two -three starters from this years team. Injuries are part of the game.  Ripon fans you are more than entitled to your own opinions but for those of you that actually thought Ripon should have won conference in 08 or 09 you are living in fantasy land.  Until an MWC team either knocks off a highly rated opponent, or a team advances past the second round an at large bid is just a dream

Ripon was 5:00 min away from winning conference in '08, so very much a reality there.  '09 was a different story.

Roop and blu..... +K for youe efforts in that "Bad Neighborhood"



GO GREEN KNIGHTS

Hey, Roop went there.  I just went in to fetch him back.  Thanks for the karma.  I'd lost 10% of my karma w/o even getting on the board.  So much hate out there...  Good luck tomorrow, my friend.  I'll be wearing my "Curd is the Word" t-shirt in support!  (It's the only thing "Wisconsin" I have.)  

There have to be some karma hungry people out there stealing it from everyone, ive fluctuated quite a bit the last week and finally reached the negative mark.......

On a side note, good luck to SNCOLSON and the Knights tomorrow, I will be watching via webcast

I realize that all conference is not the biggest deal in the world but I really was just curious on how the teams are selected.Not to beat a dead horse but Carroll with 15? and Beloit with 12? While I know some of these kids are deserving how does a defensive player with 15 taclkes and 1 TFL make it? I don't care if the kid was tripled teamed all year you should do better than that in 9 conference games. How many all conference selections did MC have who dominated the conference last year have??? Don't remember but I don't think they had 15 and that included more than twice the number of HM picks. Well anyway good luck to Carroll in the playoffs tomorrow with your whole team basically making all conference you should be a shoo in oops wait a minute thats right SNC won conference.

Really???  This matters???  

I thought it was wierd how the conference decided to cut the number from 50+ down to 20. Maybe looking to put more "honor" into honorable mention

Wow MC with only 6 all conference players (5 positional) while Carroll has 15??? I know with the victor goes the spoils but didn't St. Norbert's win the conference??? Didn't they kinda clobber Carroll. MC doesn't even get honorable mention picks? Defensive players with 15 tackles in 9 games and 1 TFL are all conference? I know stats don't say it all and kids get doubled teamed and play injured etc but c'mon. MC did tie for 2nd didn't they?? Man beating Carroll had to be the greatest upset of all-time with their superior talent.  How about a kid that was 2nd team  all conference last year has just as good of a year and doesn't even show up on the HM list?Oh well I don't know how the process works maybe coaches have to nominate etc or the rest of the coaches were just tired of MC dominating the list, but I expect it will just be some added motivation for MC next year.

I thought it was odd about the HM's also.  Last season there were 56 players named honorable mention to only 20 this year.  Not sure why they went soup nazi on the honorable mention spots this year?

good thing i dont like karma points    gotta be some sour LU fans out there still.....

Heres a little math equation:
7 days + (63-7 win) = -6 karma

No I did not forget Lawrence they simply did not make the poll.  Plus how can Knox be on the rise if someone wasn't ranked below them. Lawrence peaked for the season after their first half against MC.

Maybe KnoxOnTheRise refers to cross country as they moved from 8th in '09 to 7th in '10.

No how bout this! MWC Final Rankings

1. St. Norbs
2. Tie Monmouth College
         Carroll College
4. Ripon
5. Beloit (anyone that beats SNC and MC in the same season gets the tie breaker)
6. Grinnell (anyone that loses to Knox loses any tie breaker except head to head)
7. IC
8. Knox- not  LF
9. Knox on the rise!

Ripon beat Carroll but lost to MC, and MC beat both, so I would say more of a tie for 3rd place with Ripon and Carroll, if we were to imply tie-breakers not records.

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

FULU!

Great game for the Hawks yesterday, good way to end an up and down season, and its always good to beat the Larrys.  Ripon dominated both sides of the ball all game.  Their offense threw 10 times! So no wonder we put up 63 points.  No matter the records the Ripon-LU game is always littered with personal foul penalties which makes the game interesting, a fun rivalry game. 

It was quite an exciting last 6:00 min of the game though.  IF GT's quarterback didnt go down in the first half maybe it wouldve been a different game.  Im just in a n IFfy mood with all of these IF bombs being dropped.

Red-
So then I wake up.  The game is draggin on, but about over.  GT has amassed 340+ rushing, but is about to lose.  Like other option teams, who will go nameless, they are winning the statistical battles, but are not gonna win the game or their conference.   

I always thought wins and losses went by statisticts not by points      Ah, what if.......
