I hope my feathers do not offend any of you.

I could not find the politically correct logo, nor do I want to.

Keep in mind I don't know how the point systems work (QOWI)- Titan Q, Sagers, and the rest of you that can figure it out, you are all much smarter than me.  Jimmy O

Give yourself a little credit here James, you are the brains behind the Chicago Cubs Marketing Staff.... Not sure if that's saying anything!!!

Jim makes some great points in his post, which a change from his usual nonsensical blabber.   My opinion may differ slightly. I say, schedule the creampuffs early... 3-5 shoe in wins to get your feet wet. Head to some place tropical and play two tough teams. This is the opportune time to play your DII schools. Come home with another home guarantee win, mix in a competitive NAIA and finish the non-conference with a decent Midwest rival. At the very most 4 of the 11 games should be a challenge.  This ensures two things; momentum heading into the CCIW season, and a decent argument come tournament time.

Do whatever it takes to win 9 games during your non-conference slate.

Sager if your looking for a quick victory for your vikes, take a tip from the Serb... Taylor Fort Wayne, Dominican, and Marycrest are great examples....

That is of course if you can get them on the schedule before they disband their athletic programs

Normally I remain silent throughout the daily CCIW banter, but on this occasion I must make an exception. As a former Bosko player and current Bosko friend and supporter I must say that the majority of the comments made against Bosko are inappropriate and unjust. With exception to a few, the people who speak against him have no connection to the program nor do they know Bosko on a personal level. However, I do. I will make this as simple and clear as possible. Bosko is a great coach. His in game strategies, control over officials (with exception to last weeks Elmhurst game), and overall demeanor during pressure situations places him at another level in terms of coaches at the division 3 level. Bottom line here- Bosko will remain the head coach at Carthage for as long as he would like. He will continue to recruit high level athletes and rake in mid major transfers. He will build the Carthage program back to a national contender and in a few short years I will be reading posts about Bosko's opportunities at the DI level.

One last thing- When Carthage was making their runs at National Titles in 2001 and 2002 Bosko used to tell us all the time that he was trying to out recruit myself, Garnes, McDaniel, Powell, and whoever else was playing big minutes at the time. That's what great coaches do! So, when I hear that Bosko told his team that he needed better players.... I laugh and nod my head. To be honest the players on that team should be doing the same thing.

Now... could we please get back to the CCIW action at hand and stop blasting one of the greatest coaches in CCIW history.
