I think we can all agree that we are no USC!!! Its true we most likely attacked your boys while they were on the court!
Do we harrass other teams? Yes!
Do we get a little carried away? Yes,sometimes!
Do we ride players? Yes!
However, I assure you in no way we attack individuals based on race, religion, or sex! The Crazies stay within the boundries with our comments! We chant players names/nicknames, We chant "Offense/Defense", We make remarks to the refs about calls, but I assure you that our comments are not aimed to hurt someones feelings! The crazies' comments are aimed to get in a players head! Most of the time it works!
Take for an example, last night we heckled your boys a little bit and then one of the FU players fliped us off! We were in his head! After his finger jesture towards us, we turned our attention on him, by chanting his name! What did he do? Folded! He played terrible for the last 11 minutes of the game!
Let them play? We never step foot on the court! We let them play, we just give them something to think about everytime they come to "our gym"! Are they mentally tough enough to handle good spirited fun? There are a bunch of BC parents who sit not more than 10 feet from "our corner" and I have never heard any parent complain about our remarks!
GO BEAVERS!

Pitbull,
I will agree with you on a few of your statements! However, the comments are about "OUR" school, not "Yours"... You should leave the complaining to us! I don't understand why you have such an interest in our school and our problems.
I wouldn't think you would get too upset about Blackburn students backing our school and our problems! Your complains about us and our school mean nothing to us because you have not invested anything in our school!
Blackburn is a special place where students invest much more than their money... We all contribute to the success of the school through the work program! Everyday we do our part to keep the school running! As far as support from the President of the College goes; she attends almost all of the home games and is concerned with the success of our sports!
The only reason our athletic facilities is lacking the funding is because Blackburn is one of the cheapest private schools in the nation!
Blackburn's goal is to offer an education to those who may have not had the opportunity otherwise! Athletics is just a small part in the development of students! If Blackburn's tuition was the same as other private schools in DIII, we could dish the money out to our sports programs! However, Blackburn's beleif and mission does not allow us to splurge on Athletics! Blackburn students understand the colleges policy and mission! So Pitbull, its not your battle to fight nor your right to complain about our school! We still love Blackburn and we show our love through the enthusiasm we have for our sports!
GO BEAVERS! 

Flipmasta,
As master of the spirit fingers I am very concerned with your comments. Lets not provide any bulliten board material for FU! The conference is full of parody so I don't know that we can chalk up a win just yet. It will take a good game for BC to beat FU! The crazies must get crazy from here on out!!!
Hope,
As far as who I would like to see; I want to see Maryville! The way the fans acted after the game just put a spur in my shorts. I concidered the MU fans good fans but after their actions at the conclusion of the game it made me retract my thoughts about them...
I work in the maintenance department at Blackburn and I will voice some of your concerns for seating to my bosses and see if they can come up with anything to ease some of your fears!!!
Dynasty and FlipMastaJ welcome to the discusion and keep it clean and please no more bulliten board material!!!

In the first half it looked like MU wanted to feed everything into the post and had success with that. At the end of the first half and beginning of the second half Blackburn went on a run. In response to the run the MU guards started putting up some 3 pointers, pretty successfully, that is until the BC defense tightened up. The MU guards about midway through the second half began driving the ball into the lane and were called several times for the charging foul. The Refs in that game were not consistant with their calls, at times they would let them play while other times they made some ticky tack calls. I know both teams weren't very happy with some of the calls made by the officials. The MU guards were in foul trouble for a good portion of the second half. So my guess is that had something to do with the lack of points scored by the MU guards at the charity stripe.

I expect a good game between the two teams when they meet at Maryville!! Hopefully the officials will let the two teams duke it out. Both teams are physical defenders and fly around. I would love to see a game between the two teams where they can just go at it!!! Good luck Blackburn Beavers!!!

Exciting year for the South in the UMAC this year!!! Some improvement from Blackburn will make the south up for grabs!!!

Blackburn plays tough vs. Illinois College
Blackburn is a young team who showed some good things but had a few breakdowns...
Blackburn was tied 7-7 at half but end up loosing 7-28... The beavers lone touchdown came off a 20 + yrd TD pass from Gruver to Dwiggins with 15 sec left in the first half...  Defense played well and had some big plays but in the end the Beavers fall short!!!

Principia College v. Southwest Assemblies of God -   Principia
         
Northwestern College v. Lakeland College - Lakeland
   
Trinity Bible College - Haskell - Haskell
       
Westminster College v. Coe College - Coe  
   
Rockford College v. Eureka College - Rockford

Blackburn College v. Illinois College - BLACKBURN (new era at Blackburn College)
         
Martin Luther College v. Luther College - Luther
       
Univ. of Minnesota-Morris v. Mayville State - UM-Morris

Minn-Morris would be my favorite in the north but Nothwestern will be a close second... Martin Luther's reign has come to an end due to the fact that much of their talent has graduated... Don't get me wrong they will hustle to the ball on defense and will be a tough matchup for Morris and Northwestern.
