So the NAC board is the lamest because we don't want people coming on here and talking crap about our teams and players???

Please, by all means, talk on any board at any time, but why should a MC fan (or any fan from some other conference) come on here and start a s*** storm???  What is the point of that?? If you don't want me to call you a jag then don't come on here and talk crap unprovoked.....does that make you feel like you got a huge one or something???

Offer your predictions for the game and insight that you have but leave your crap talk to your own boards...you don't see me talking crap on your board...and I know that I can and you would probably invite me to, but it's about respect....have some respect for the game and leave the s*** talk for game time

I am glad that AU and MC will play.....I think it will be a hell of a football game
it is the play-offs junior!
That is why they (Monmouth Fans) come on here.  Would you expect them to come on this board and kiss AU's puckers and say how great the Spartans are.
You are taking this way to personal, and embarrasing yourself.
Your priorities are off as the s**** talk is not for game time.  That is when the "athletes" of both teams will decide the game.  Not decided by anyone on here talking smack. 
It sounds like you want an all AU love fest.  There is no program that will get that on these boards.
Let whoever talk.... just remember to post after AU wins in a close one on Saturday.

the lates posts show why the NAC has the lamest of all the threads in D3 Sports. 
If you do not like people talking "crap" do not read this is a message board that is what people do- calling them "jags" shows you are above that
If you do not like someone posting things you do not agree with- tough
If you are tired of someones points... but give nothing in rebuttal - tough
If you think that fans of another team should stay in their area as not to hurt our feelings - tough
If you read these posts and look to help someone with their grammar and spelling - get a life
If you have to constantly use the letters "IMHO"... we know it is your opinion
Lets keep using the phrase on any given Saturday or lines to that point...
People do care about schedule toughness - or think it is
People do care if a QB is better-or think he is
Saying that certain interceptions could have been caught by any DB - wow - do you think that the pressure the D-line could help with that - did your research?  What is research - are you a player or coach who is watching game film or just heard from a friend of a friend.

I say keep talking everyone
Show a little emotion
Show a little pride

The players will decide the outcome - but us elders and non-players need our fun too

Question for the Monmouth fans- will their be caber tossing at halftime?

MC. Scottie....don't you have your own conference thread to post on? Coming here and starting stuff is so immature.


that is what message boards are for.  For people to chat and discuss and even stir the pot.  For some it is what makes all sports message boards fun.

the SID needs to submit the article to the NAC website..... just like BU and AU did.

Other 12/15/07 NAthCon Men's Finals:

Aurora 70, MSOE 63. (Saw this one in person. MSOE had the lead for most of the first half, MSOE's Murphy got whacked either in one eye or just below one eye. He didn't even come out of the locker room for the second half. Aurora hit several threes after the break and lead by as much as 10 points late. Murphy's quickness on both ends of the floor was missed big time in the second half. Don't know how serious the injury is.) 

It was a frustrating loss, no doubt. Murphy was very effective when in there. The opportunity was there for MSOE to take advantage (without Leonard in the post) to get a big W and right back in the conference race. Without Murphy in the second half, MSOE almost abandoned the post and shot too many threes which just werent falling. Aurora's 10-0 run when the game was tied at 54 (~7:30 to go), killed MSOE. Just looking at the box score of MSOE possessions during that run: (missed three pointer, turnover, missed three pointer, turnover, couple of missed free throws, missed three pointer) {sigh}, you have to believe with a healthy Murphy, the possessions would have been different.

So AU did not miss Starwood or Magee... IF, IF, IF.... with either of those two the possesions would be a lil different also.

last all-conference team has been anounced.... it looks like at least half of the starters for all teams made hon-men. or better.  How many all-conf qb's can you have only 1 can play at a time.

Quote from: Northern_Explorer on November 07, 2007, 03:26:25 PMI think it will be a one goal game either way, but Chicago has a big advantage in terms of experience in tough matches.
Never let anyone forget when you're prediction is correct  ;)
wow you picked a one goal game in soccer!!! I'm taking you to Vegas!

two teams would be 1-2 in games among the top4 if a tie occurs they are lakeland and AU.... BU and CUW would be 2-1 among the top 4....

BU has to beat CUW for this to happen......they take the head to head

BU wins and lakeland wins - lakeland is in
Bu wins and lakeland loses- BU is in
CUW wins they are in

4 way tie means Benedictine is in

what does keeping a game close have to do with anything.  Who cares if a team can keep it closer.  Some teams take risks to win and the score becomes more lopsided.  Some teams play it tight to save face.  You either win or lose.

Weight room numbers...whoopee!  I can take the best powerlifters in the world and suck on the field.  Speed and talent with a solid O-line will win.  There is very little overall speed and very few teams have solid o-lines.  Look at the winners the last few years and you see 1-2 players with speed and a good o-line.

As far as former pros being coaches....many top athletes did not have to rely on the basics.  they were way to athletic, had the ability to learn quick etc.  Does not mean they can teach and coach.  So forget the hype on ex-NFL players coaching.

One poster mentioned recruiting but spelled recruiting wrong.  Speaks well.

Rusty, everything about weightlifting numbers are positive things that players, former players, and coaches are seeing out of CUC team that has had a troubled past. Everything that Coach Pries and his staff has done thus far, has in some way worked out one way or another. CUC beating Lakeland by two td's in not something that cannot happen, it can! By me saying it will, just shows how excited I am about football at my school!
also, if you dont like my spelling give me some negative karma and see if i care! ahahahahha

I did not address one team or another on the post about weightlifting numbers.  People have posted about them for years.  My point is so what...I am sure that all teams are having more athletes train hard and produce better numbers.  Achieving personal bench, clean, deadlifting marks are easy as compared to the ability to perform on the field.  If I had a dollar for every reference to a bench press or 40 time.  Usually the two biggest lies in football. 

Discuss offense, defense , special teams, talent, the ability to play football.  Elevate the level of the discussion to more than talking points.  We sound somewhere between used car salesman and presidential canditates.  Who are some of the players to watch.  What can we expect offensively, defensively?  Generic posts about players working hard and coach is moving in the right direction... okay we get it.  Any team can beat any team on any given saturday....  okay we get it.  Lets talk match-ups.  Why do you believe CUC will beat Lakeland.  Being positive and fired up etc do not aid the discussion.  Is the D-line going to be ready for the regular big-talented o-lines that the Wisconsin schools bring to the table.  Lakelands Qb... how will a new head coach work with him and how will CUC look to counter. Game - home or away... or does it matter. Discuss the game... this a football board. 

As for spelling... you mentioned recruiting... sometimes important when dealing with people interested in e-d-u-ma-cation.

I never said three transfers from the University of Texas, folks. Texas is a state.

And transfers are not always good on the field or off the field.

Sucks that a 29 win team didn't make the tournament, Rockford got the shaft

Next year will the winner of the NAC get an automatic bid?

schedule better teams....and hope the good teams on your schedule do not play bad...AU an off year that ends up hurting Rockford among others...the problem for a pool b or pool c in this conference is that there are too many weak teams in all sports.  These teams take away chances for strong opponents.  The conference should split to a north/south and reduce numbers of conference games.  This way a team can schedule better in-region opponents and have a better point total and make it.

Rockford did not get the shaft.....they did not score enough points to be selected on the criteria for at large bids.  The AU softball team did not make it and they had a better record.  With them it was the same weak teams.  Some games are worthless on a schedule and some games can actually hurt your total even if you win.

the AQ will come into place after next season.
