I'm interested in who people think is the conference player of the year?
Best team?
Biggest suprise?
worst team?
Most underated?
Most over rated?

Conference player of the year I'm going to have to go with Dominic Kegal at GC. The stats all prove it and he proved it. Every game it was said, "control Kegal you control the game."

The facts why he should be Conference Player of the Year............
- GC is 1st in Offense in the IBC
- Dom is tied for 1st in Passing Efficiency with 114.5 yds/game
- Dom is 1st in Rushing with 110.5 yrds/game
- Dom is 1st in Scoring with 9pts/ game
- Dom is 1st in Total Rushing Yards with 1105
- Dom is 1st in Total Offense with 266.8 yds/ game
- Dom is 2nd in Total Passing Yards with 1563
- Dom is 3rd in All Purpose yds with 108.7 yds/game
- Week 9, Week 7, Week 2  Offensive Player of the Week Honors

I would think that would wrap up Player of the Year

Well haven't posted on here since GC lost to 3 straight games and all hope was lost for a IBFC conf. crown after losing to LC, AU, and BC. 

So maybe since I'm getting married this Saturday, GC can get a win against CUW.   

AU vs EC  - AU wins 38- 12

CUC vs LC - LC wins 28-14

BU vs MAC -  BU wins 35-13

CUW @ GC -  GC wins close one 17-14

We'll it sucks GC lost to Lakeland. Did not see that coming, just expected GC get over the hump this year.  Hopefully GC can turn it around this Saturday and earn a big win.  It will be a close game just like last year.  I think GC probably has the better offense but AU may have the better defense.  I'm going to go with GC winning 17-14.   

Predictions.........

Lakeland vs BU:   Lakeland wins 42-13

MAC vs CUW: CUW wins 48-7

CUC vs Eureka:  CUC wins 35-14

Greenville @ AU:  GC wins 17-14

Old40 and Tru-
Greenville has to prove they belong in the top tier.  Until then CUW/LL/AU are the teams to beat. All Teams, have a good and safe weekend.

What the hell else do you want them to prove?  Beat AU in 2006, Took CUW to overtime they didn't even score till the 4th quarter with the great and powerful offense of theirs in 06.  GC got the ball rolling in 2005 on becoming a top teir team when everyone was expecting Lakeland the 05 conference champions to blow them out by 4TD's or more and GC's defense shut them down and shut down CUW. GC still got the loss but then it started to get people to looked at us at GC football different and new it wasn't the same crap.  Then last year happened.  In my opinion there's just been a shift in the same old power houses.  Lakeland and CUW are going to be up there until someone knocks them off and noone has. GC is the only team that has gotten close. AU was a top tier but they haven't been the same AU like the years in the past.  GC beat them last year and will probably beat them again this year. 

Justin Grant of Greenville College is the Illini-Badger Football Conference defensive player of the week for games of Saturday, Sept. 15.

Grant had five solo tackles and three assisted tackles in Greenville's 35-28 loss to Taylor (Ind.). Three and a half of Grant's tackles resulted in a loss of 26 yards for the opposing team. He had two sacks for 17 yards.

Game picks...........

CUW vs Eureka:  CUW wins big. 52-7

Aurora vs MAC: AU wins 28-14

BU vs CUC: Close game. Both wanting to show there better than what people think.  CUC wins 24-21

*** GAME OF THE WEEK ***

Lets get back to tomorrows games.
Who is going where?

Tru and GC_fan -----are you going to Blackburn to watch the Panthers?

I hope to get there myself. Maybe go watch someone else, not sure yet.

Everyone traveling this weekend have a safe trip and lets hear some football reports next week.

I'll be listening on the radio. My fiance has her bridal shower today so after it's over I gotta help load presents in my truck and take them to her house. So no GC game for me today.  I'll try to post some scores if I can.  Good luck IBFC teams today

Tru Country;

Good Luck to your Greenville team this week. Did they have a warm up scrimmage this past week? If they did who did they play and how did they do? What was your thoughts on the first weeks action? Did the Aurora and CUW scores surprise you?

  I don't know if they scrimmage over the weekend or not.  We started harvesting last week so I haven't had time to see what's going on.  The AU score suprised me alot as did the CUW score.  Did not see those losses coming. Looking forward to the GC @ AU game.

Rockford vs MAC :   Rockford wins 35-6    

North Central vs CUW :  North Central wins 42-17

North Park vs BU : BU wins 14-17

Lakeland @ Carthage : Carthage wins 38-14

CUC vs Chicago : CUC wins 21-20

Didn't make it to the GC vs Millikin scrimmage.  Was going to go to watch the alma-mater start there high school football season off, but going to Cardinals vs. Braves game instead.  d3football1 you are right on Blackburn being a little over an hour away from GC.  Blackburn is 2 hours north from where I live. GC is an 1hr from me.  sorry bout that. 

7400west -  Blackburn College is in Carlinville, 2 hours North of GC. 

Looking forward to the scrimmage and to see the recruits GC landed also. I hear ya on the whole 1st team done after a couple plays.   My fiance and I are heading to her high school alma mater to watch them open the season up Friday. Only 22 and high school seems a long long time ago.

Quote from: TruCountry95 on August 20, 2007, 02:44:12 PMAlso looking at the players to watch Dominic Kegel QB from Greenville.  Dom is the real deal. He led his team to a 2nd place finish in State in Washington. Also Dom participated in the Barton Camps. Barton Camp is a camp the host the best skilled players and lineman in the Northwest area.

Is he related to Matt, the WSU QB who had the unfortunate role of succeeding Jason Gesser?

Sounds like yes.

Not brothers.  Dom is from Washington and Matt played at WSU but was from Montana.  Not sure if their related in some way but I know for sure not brothers.   Tomorrow GC scrimmage vs. Milikin.  I'm planning on going and taking a look.  The OL is the same as last year except Big Poe is missing. The DL is all veterans and the same as last year except with the loss of Russell Reece. Both are big losses but can be made up.  Justin Grant is a player to watch as it said on IBFC. He is a DE, quick and strong and a SR.  At the scrimmage I want to see the LB's and what has been done to make up for the loss of JR Harriel. Alot of other things to look at but those are a big focus.  Dom #4 QB was a Sophmore last year and here is a clip of him against AURURA, CUW, and CUC, what can we expect this yr?

This pretty much right.  It's going to be a battle this year.   Also looking at the players to watch Dominic Kegel QB from Greenville.  Dom is the real deal. He led his team to a 2nd place finish in State in Washington. Also Dom participated in the Barton Camps. Barton Camp is a camp the host the best skilled players and lineman in the Northwest area. QB's that have particpated in the Barton Camp in the past - Kellen Clemens (University of Oregon -NFL) Joey Harrington (University of Oregon -NFL) Aaron Rogers (University of California - NFL) Garrett Hanson ( Linfield).

This season should be a break out season for Dominic.
