I also was at the CUC vs. LC game and first of all all you CUC fans/players need to give it a rest.  YES LC did have alot of flags.....but for anyone who was at the games knows they werent all personal fouls......maybe one or two for late hits....most were holding calls which were mostly all bad calls...the LC linemen who out weigh the CUC d-lineman by an average of 50 pounds just was dominating the CUC player and the refs were doing everything in their power to keep the game close........it was a blow out right from the beginning 21-0 in the middle of the first quarter, the refs knew the game was on the verge of getting out of contol reall fast (score wise) and try to slow the game down.........i see nothing has change from sat. game....CUC players crying and begging for calls just like they are crying on this board.  
  **** MAYBE IF THEIR PROGRAM RAISED THEIR LEVEL OF INTENSITY, THEY COULD GAIN MORE THEN 45 TOTAL YARDS IN A FOOTBALL GAME.....IF I COULD REMEMBER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL NOT THE GIRL SCOUTS......45 TOTAL YARDS THATS A DOMINATION, MAYBE THATS WHY THATS WHY SO MANY CUC FANS/PLAYERS FEEL SO VIOLATED...BECAUSE LC KICKED THEIR A**ES UP AND DOWN THE FIELD.

* Now on the issue of stealing things out the locker room........that is horse-sh*t no one from CUC said anything to the players or coaches from LC.  If there was something stolen which i doubt it then it should have been address to the coaches of LC by either the CUC coach or AD.   There was nothing.....so dont come on this board with false statements trying to put down one of the top teams in this conf. 

* And 7400 West you sound like a damn fool.....do you think Coach Z told his palyers to steal anything, by the way I dont think even happened.........you dummy.......worst coach in conf. are you kidding me the man is 24-3 since he started coaching in this league.........7400West i think you are a player on CUC and i got something you should think about........what coach should by fired    the coach who team has 400+ yards of off. whos def. gave up only 45 yards of total off and his team got of 34-0 victory which could have been way worst or the coach who team only gain 45 total yards, who def. gave up 400+ yards and got shut out 34-0 on senior day.

Im new on here......but i decided to post a couple of stat concerning the LC vs. CUW games.  I do think this will be the best game in the IBFC this year for the past 3 years the winner of this game has controlled their own desinty for the remainer of the season..........I noticed that everyone is picking CUW over LC which i can see why they are 7-0.....however I think you have to look a little closer at their schedules and their oppenents records.......

CUW non-conf. opp. record 5-13
LC non-conf. opp record 15-4

CUW opp. overall record 10-33
LC opp. overall record 22-22

I guess my question is does everyone who is picking CUW based on their record (7-0) think they would be 7-0 if CUW played LC non-conf schedule

i believe this game will be deicide on Sat. and not based on the past 7 weeks which seems to be everyone else logic for their picks. These two teams are both quailty teams one (LC) just has played a hard schedule so far.

Those are very impressive numbers for CUW......however just as someone stated lakeland cant just replace their studs, neither can CUW.  Mills was the engine of their running game for so many years, it will be very hard to replace him.  Lakeland has 12 returning starter and a host of player with very valuable playing time, and Im not talking the last 5 minutes in the blowout games.  If anyone remember the LC team that had QB Brent Luebke who was off. back of the year in 2003, WR Jeff Taff who was WR of the year in 2003, Sam Sharinger who was in All American and a gang of 1st ALL CONF. player who graduated the with them.  That team finished 2nd behind CUW, the following year Lakeland won a share of the title.  So I think that is proof that a team doesnt have to rebuild but instead reload with player that have been working very hard to fill those key postions.  The winner of this conf. will have to go undefeated in conf. or I think their there will be another tie. None of the top team will ahve two loses in conf.  The one thing that i think LC has in their favor is that they play CUW, and GC at home.............so I guess only time will tell.

 After reading everyones posts on the predictions........I kind of question where people are getting there info from.  I dont know why anyone would pick any other team to be the front runner in conf. besides LC or CUW.  over the last three seasons LC & CUW both have a conf. record of 19-2.  There is no doubt that they will be in the race in 2006.  Mac fans I love the pride you have for your school but just look at the facts the last three seasons mac has been out scored by LC 149-41 and CUW outscored them 122-62.  Now im not saying that they cant make a turn around but for god sakes lets try to be about it not just talk about it.....it seems every year some MAC fan coming on here saying that the old mighty Mac is back....well when we see it we will believe it.  LC has lost some key players but what school doesnt loss key players.  they will bounce back and remain the fronter runner that they are.  They will be ready for every team in this conf.....since they have the hardest non-conf. schedule in the country, which will be great preperation for conf. play.  Finally looking forward to see if CUW can coming into LC and steal a win as LC did last year at the home.
