all english majors or teachers please don't rip apart my above post leave the red pens at home. Good luck to all SLIAC teams and players! Enjoy the fun in the BeaverDome and watch out for those townies I heard they will get you if your not looking

beaverball put down the Blackburn Kool Aid-can't blame you for embracing your team and school etc. I mean no disrespect here or am I bashing your program or experience. I respect the players at Blackburn and what they have to do and over come with the work program demands and facilities, but there is no comparision with the talent up north to our small school brotherin down in Central and Southern Illinois. I'm talkin about the run of the mill players (NAIA/DIII) kids. Look at the level of play between the SLIAC and the CCIW for that matter. CCIW schools are made up of Chicagoland DIII kids. I don't believe there is one kid on Blackburn's team that could start at the top four CCIW teams (maybe the Allen kid) ''Playing with the best athletes that you have ever played with'' What? are you from the Chicagoland area? Morris/Coal City is not the Chicagoland area. I'm sorry but the kids that come out of those schools up north just have an "edge" that the "farm" boys don't have. It seems at times that the kids from those small schools are happy to just be competing at times or are a little to laid back. Oh no I'm agreeing with pitbull on some stuff that is scary. Like I said no disrespect just my two cents. But I do respect you for going and dealin with the shortcomings BC places in front of all you guys
