MVFC – Week 7 in Review

October 16, 2017October 16, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetWeek 7 in the books and another interesting week in the MVFC. A couple of big “upsets”, a close game delayed by weather, and a “Game of the Week” that lived up to it’s billing, going to an exciting overtime finish. First up though, let’s take a look at conference standings, where teams are in relation to being set up... Read More

MVFC – Week 7 Preview

October 13, 2017October 15, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetOn to Week 7…the midpoint of season. Everyone has played 5 games so far and has 6 left…all are MVFC games until the playoffs start. Disclaimer: For those of you who don’t know me very well, I’ve been a Western Illinois fan for over 20 years. I will do my best to be relatively unbiased, but I know that it’s... Read More

MVFC – Week 6 in Review

October 9, 2017October 10, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetWell, as I’m writing most of this, it’s 12:30 AM Sunday morning, I just got back from watching my Leathernecks give me a heart attack against Northern Iowa, and I was driving, so I’m still awake from some later-than-usual caffeine. I must say…this was an interesting week…assuming you like a bit of chaos with your football, right? Now that we’re... Read More

MVFC – Week 6 Preview

October 6, 2017October 6, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetOn to Week 6…wait…seriously?!?…Week 6 already? I thought we just started this thing. Like it or not, the football season goes by pretty fast for us hard-core fans. Up this week we have a couple of likely close games including one that looks like it could have a big impact on who the eventual conference champion is. We also have... Read More

October 2, 2017October 2, 2017 Scott Lawson

Tweet Wow…what a first week of MVFC action. There were record-breaking performances, a couple of highly ranked teams battling in close games, and a nearly epic comeback. It was a pretty exciting start to what should be a strong conference season. Missouri State (1-3) at #2 North Dakota State (3-0) 4-0 on the season. 1-0 in the Valley. pic.twitter.com/BHnL6Vt89B —...

MVFC – Week 5 Preview

September 28, 2017September 28, 2017 Scott Lawson

Tweet It’s all downhill from here…at least for some teams. The MVFC has 6 teams listed in the top 10 of this week’s AGS poll and fully half of the conference is undefeated, but we’re now “all in” on conference “season”. This week, we have 5 games between the 10 MVFC teams including two games involving two top-10 teams. Somebody... Read More

MVFC – Week 4 in Review

September 25, 2017September 24, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetWeek 4 (the week of bye weeks) is over and even though it was a light week for MVFC games, it was a pretty good one. 2-1 in non-conference games, with both wins being VERY dominating and the 1 loss still a very impressive performance, all things considered. #14 Illinois State at Missouri State (Alumni Day) Birds go 3⃣–0⃣ No....

TweetOn to Week 4 of the college football season, and specifically, the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It’s a bit of a slow week this time, with four games going on involving five MVFC teams.

MVFC – Week 3 Preview

September 14, 2017September 14, 2017 Scott Lawson

TweetWeek 3 is here and everyone has played at least one game (a few teams had bye weeks in week 1 or 2). This week is something of an OOC “Rivalry Week” for teams, with three long-standing rivalries being played out, a couple of those rivalry games, plus another game, are against Ohio Valley teams. No “full” FBS games this... Read More
