I haven't gotten an update on whether Ullrich has returned to the Chicago area yet.  When and if I do I will post it.
Now to Bradley.  I don't know much about him, but I do know that he has all the skills to be a very productive QB.  The biggest problem is that Wheaton has really been planning their offense around Ullrich's skills.  Bradley and Ullrich are not the same QB in that Ullrich is great on his feet.  It will be interesting to see what changes the staff at Wheaton makes to give Bradley more time in the pocket.  I imagine there will be more runs and quick, short passes.  The nice thing is that Hope doesn't look very good this year.  Hopefully this will allow Bradley to get his feet wet before being faced with the stiff competition in the CCIW.

How do you think Wheaton will do now that Ullrich is out?

I am an ex-Wheaton football player and recently got the update from one of the coaches on Zach Ullrich.  The preliminary diagnosis was that he suffered a hematoma on the brain (aka brain bleed), which is extremely serious and even life threatening.  It sounds like it was very serious for a while, but it looks like things have gotten better.  He has been responsive and the bleeding has stopped, which means he shouldn't require any surgery.  He isn't in the clear yet, so keep up your prayers, but things do look better.  The last thing I heard was that he was still in Barnes Jewish hospital in St. Louis.  This hospital is supposedly great at dealing with injuries like Zach's so I believe he is in great care.
That's all I know at the moment.  If I hear anything else I will let you guys know.  Just keep he and his family in your prayers.  As for his season, well that looks like it is pretty much over.

Tailgater-
I used to post on this board a lot more the past couple of years and I can tell you that this is the nicest this board has been in a long time.  It seems that this post has changed in the fact that posters actually care about what happened in games.  Posters actually care about the CCIW as a whole.  A couple of years ago all you read on this post was message after message of trash talking.  It was rather ridiculous.  So don't get upset about having bad karma.  I, for one, don't even know how the whole karma thing works.  Just post your info and don't get your feelings hurt.  Who cares if posters with nothing else to do reduce your karma!  I am sure there are more important things in life to get upset about than having bad D3Football board karma.  Just my thoughts....

On another note...
Is Wheaton that good or is Wash U. that bad???  Back when I played Wash U. typically fielded a pretty darn good football year after year.  What's the deal???

Does anyone have predictions for this full weekend of football in the CCIW?

Here are my predictions:

Wheaton 24 - Albion 7
Milliken 10 - Ohio Northern 21
N. Central 35 - Concordia 14
Augie 14 - B.W. 7
North Park 21 - Eureka 7
Elmhurst 17 - Chicago 14
Carthage 21 - Lakeland 14
Wesleyan 14 - Olivet 10

I think that most of the games will be low scoring affairs.  However, I am not too familiar with some of these teams so I am pretty much quessing.

It's been a while since I have posted and I am glad to be back.
