The
men’s soccer team learned what they need to work on this week as
they get ready to start conference play.
Last weekend the Scots played on
Saturday, Sept. 15 and Sunday, Sept. 16. Both games showed off the
Scots’ defensive strength, but they feel short of a win in each
game.

Why fantasy football isn't as good
as the real game
By: Tobias Gibson
Sports Columnist
Fantasy football is pervasive, and I do not like it. Magazines that
I read, that I wait for by the door, have pages and pages of fantasy
drivel within them. People talk incessantly about their damn fantasy

cross country team is looking to have yet another successful year

MC student seeks to bring Frisbee golf
By: Ryan Gutierrez
Contributing Writer
It seems that just about every weekend if you look out at the parking lots on campus just about half of the campus is gone. Why? Well, the answer that comes out of students’ mouths the most is that there is nothing to do. However, the best way to change this is for students to start demanding for more. The school has recently installed a sand volleyball court behind Graham Hall, but I doubt that will be enough to keep students on campus during the weekends. Read More...

By: Ian Van Anden
Editor-In-Chief
The Monmouth College Fighting Scots captured their second win in the young 2007 football season by beating Beloit College 45-0 on Saturday, Sept. 15. Junior running back Jeff Davis had a statement game for MC as he rushed for 175 yards on 25 carries. The junior also found pay dirt two times.
