I can't tell you I see eye to eye with your all conference votes, lem4094.  I do agree with you that Wilks is the 1st team QB considering that he leads the conference in passing yards, and total offense, but he has thrown quite a few interceptions and has the over most athletic recieving core in the conference.  But I was very impressed with GC QB Kegel who is very accurate, consistant, and has a better passing rating and less interceptions than Wilks.  Weeks from CUC and McGary from AU also are deserving of some conference recognition.  

I'm not sure I give Reder the go for all-conference just because the teams hes got his majority of his carries against weren't the best teams in the conference.  Although, if you saw him against CUC he had an amazing performance and definitely has a future as a great running back for AU.  The all-conference backs are easily Gillespie, who early in the season was considered for offensive player of the year, and Ereg who was previously the all-conference running back and just got off to a really slow start this season.  Both average over 30 yards more per game then any other back in the league.  

Stienmetz is the a no-brainer for 1st team all conference punt returner.  Along with Langston, Harriel, Pirollo in their prospective positions.  The rest of the defensive starters are really a toss up to me.  I really didn't get a great chance to observe all the defesive positions in the league so I'm not going to guess.  

Recieving core is very difficult to pick this year.  Multiple athletic recivers have proved worthy, but since I am a defensive back and have played/covered/watched film against all of them, I know who is legit and who isn't.  The obvious 2 deserving of 1st team all-conference consideration are Taylor from GC and White from LC.  Both have put up great numbers compared to last years' reciever of the year Joe Folliard, from AU.  I think the 3rd spot has to go to Collier from CUW.  Yes, hes fourth in both yards per game and receptions per game, but you can't deny his 10 recieving touchdowns this year.  That stat alone puts him over the edge for me.

Some offensive lineman I believe are deserving is Renfro from GC.  I think that is his name, excuse me if I am wrong.  I just remember he was 6'4" and nearly 300lbs and moved very well.  I also think Nic Koch from AU has been an excellent offensive lineman deserving all-conference honors.  I thought the entire CUW offensive line was impressive but I couldn't pick just one outstanding lineman from the team.  I don't mean any disrespect by that statement.  They were all very good but I can't remember any specific players. Maybe someone could help me out with their names. I have yet to see LC offensive lineman play so I can't make any judgement quite yet of their OL, but I'm sure theres some great talent from there.

This LC theft/dirty play topic is irrelevant. Whether it happened or didn't happen, it means nothing now because its over.  If you don't want your ipod or cell phone stolen, dont bring it to practice or lock it up while its unattended.  END OF STORY.  LC won the game easily; they dominated from start to finish. That should be the real story from that game, since everyone from CUC believes the team has improved.  CUC still has a long way to go to compete for any type of conference title.  I'm tired of getting on here and reading so much that is away from conference football.  No one seems to be talking about how CUW has run through our weak D3 conference and has a legitimate chance of bringing a tiny bit of respect for a conference that doesn't deserve much.  Let's start talking more football and less crap about who did this, and who did that.  Re-read what Pat has posted, I don't think he's that crazy. 


My predictions for week 10:

CUW beats BU, but not without a fight from BU. The difference in the score will depend on whether CUW wants to cruise into the playoffs with their bye week after this game or play hard for that 10-0 season. 35-10

Greenville rolls over CUC even after the heartbreaker last week. Number 1 pass defense might be hard for CUC with or without Weeks and teams rush the ball well against the Cougars 3-3 defense. 45-7

Eureka was much more improved than I expected, but with Mac playing LC as tough as they did, I'm leaning much more towards Mac.  They have their QB back from his injury and that has opened up things for Ereg. 27-14, Mac

LC is a solid all-around team as always, but the young AU team has made some strides as the season has progress.LC isn't quite the team they were a year ago, but their skill guys are still talented along with a bunch of physical offensive and defensive linemen.  AU wants this game bad after the 58-0 spanking they took a year ago in WI.   I like my AU spartans at home in a close one, 14-13

Best of luck to all the teams this weekend.
