   I found this information under: Lakeland College Athletics News.
    Veteran IBFC Coordinator is New lakeland College Football Coach.
    Athletics: Posted 7/2/07.

   Down in the body of the article is says"  ..............Lakeland prepares
   for it`s 71st season.
   2007 minus 71=1936.
   Yet The Lakeland Media Guide you ref says, first football played in 1934.
   Certainly not a big deal but for accuracy, I wonder which it is?
   Let me put a  in there so you know this is just a conversation about a
   subject we`ve been hashing around.
   Do you have the means to see which it is? 
   
   
     

Pat and SCARED KITTY are correct.

      All the stats I put in my post were from, The  College Football Data Wharehouse .  Being the messenger of those stats it looks like I take the hit.  Be gentle.
   I looked at the Lakeland site but could not "find" the facts-figures you supplied.  Key word being "I." 
   You mentioned the , College Football Media Guide.  If that was your source and it appears it was, how do I get a look-see ?   
   Thanks for the feed back.
   

Go to a Lakeland home game and bring a couple bucks along, I'm not sure how much they are, if they even cost anything. At this time, Lakeland does not supply a PDF on the athletics' website of the media guides.

    Lakeland College on the other hand started in 1940. That aside, they have 114 wins.......90 loses.  Which is a winning %of .558.

This is concerning conference games only I assume?

   The "quoted source" I used showed games in 10`s ( ie, 6-4  7-3  8-2 and so on.)   that indicates to me it`s the OVER=ALL record as opposed to a conference record.                   

Ok, because Lakeland's first football team played in 1934, and the program has an overall record of 305 wins, 276 losses and 13 ties, that according to the college's football media guide.

Anyone hear anything about Lakeland's coach taking a job as a coach at Whitewater?

Zebrowski resigned today from Lakeland.

Lakeland takes both from Aurora, 8-6 and 6-4.

2200? Unless there's a breakaway wall on some end, there's no way. Both baselines barely have enough room for the cheerleaders much less standing room only fans, and the bleachers aren't all that tall either.

Definitely nothing wrong with the way Lakeland played in that game. Outrebounding the Spartans and turning the ball over 10 times in the game. Outrebounding Aurora alone is quite a feat. Looks like it was just a matter of going cold in the second half and the Spartans getting hot. Must've been a crazy good game and I'm sorry I missed it.

Here are the full preseason rankings:

1. Aurora University (9), 118
2. Edgewood College (1), 102
3. Concordia University Chicago, 86
4. Benedictine University, 85
5. Marian College, 76
6. Dominican University, 75
7. Concordia University Wisconsin, 59
8. Rockford College (1), 48
9. Lakeland College, 42
10. Wisconsin Lutheran College, 24
11. Maranatha Baptist Bible College, 11

I'm awfully surprised Lakeland got picked ninth. This is a team who finished fifth last year with a super young team and took two of three from Edgewood last year (Edgewood only lost 4 in conference all season). They will be a sleeper this year. They have plenty of talent returning (only one season long starter was lost) and their pitching should be much better. Their offense is going to be their strong suit, though, and could make some noise.

How good is this conference altogether though? Edgewood, the LMC's best, slips to second because of Aurora. You have two World Series trips in the last five years (Aurora last year and Lakeland in 2002) and a near miss by Edgewood two years ago. Dominican won the tournament last year with a super young team, and the team's two best pitchers return.

This has to be the strongest out of any of the sports the NathCon offers.

I think Lakeland is still improving as the season moves on and I expect a closer game than the one some witnessed earlier this season. Matt Rogers hasn't hit 10 points the last two games, a rout of Marian and, in my opinion a very impressive win at WLC, but the Muskies have still won. Rogers didn't play at all in the first half tonight and the Muskies still ran out to a double digit halftime lead. Danny Ehnert and Tyrone Coleman have been amazingly good the last couple games. The team as a whole is rebounding the ball better than they have all season. The key to Lakeland's success is being careful with the ball. If Lakeland limits the turnovers, they're a very very dangerous team.

And speaking of season changing losses, Lakeland was ahead by 16 at halftime against Edgewood and lost, lost in overtime at Marian, lost on free throws with no time on the clock at Dominican, and went cold for 3 of the final 4 minutes at WLC a week ago and lost by 6. They could've easily been looking at the second seed, too. No matter who wins though, Lakeland has to like its chances for next season graduating only one player in Coleman.

In my mind, Lakeland can give Welton all the points he wants, it's getting Mike Leonard in foul trouble like they did the first two games and keeping Dusty Magee from getting open looks around the three-point line that will win the game.

Old School,

I'd say your assessment of Aurora is pretty accurate. I'm surprised more teams don't try to pound it inside against them. Sure, they'd pick up their fair share of blocks due to Leonard and Welton's leaping ability, but Leonard fouled out both time Lakeland played them after the Muskies continuously went to Rogers in the post. Leonard only played 19 minutes last week due to foul trouble and Welton reached four fouls in that game.

If you're smart about approaching that team, you can turn their aggressiveness against them, no doubt.

I'm still here, reading but not posting. And by the way, what's with this trashtalking nonsense. I have no idea what you're talking about. 

Idk, but regardless of the score between LC and CUW.  It was a hell of a game. you can't expect to win, though, with 3 to zero turnovers.  I feel the offense showed up a few times for Lakeland, but not enough. LC's defense flies around well, but CUW made the plays went it counted the most.  Whoever doesn't make the most mistakes wins and this game wasn't the exception.  Alot of young talent at LC and expect a showing next year if they can ever get their sh*t together and show up to play, with heart and urgency.  Pissed they let me down, but still, good luck to CUW in the playoffs.   Hell with how good the other team is, show up to play, don't F!@# up on plays.  Show who's got the bigger balls.  Good luck to rest of the other teams in conf, but more luck to the Muskies.  Keep the heads up, Alot of talent but you need to EXECUTE regardless who's across from ya.  Kick @$$, F*** names.  Go Muskies!!!

LC 24, Mac 16

Lakeland allowed just 135 total yards (only 25 on the ground), and one of Mac's touchdowns came off a blocked punt.
