Kohawk Nation, welcome. 

Let's see if you can do some more research.  Coe has Steve Staker as head coach and his son is OC.  BVU has Jay Anderson as HC and I believe his dad is the DC.  There have been many IIAC schools with family members coaching WITH each other.  Have there been any IIAC schools where family members were coaching AGAINST each other???

what about a father/son combination coaching/playing against each other?

Should the coaching staff use their own money or money from the budget to purchase shirts and shoes?  I've always thought the purpose of fund raisers is to raise money for things that aren't in the budget.   I can understand the other complaints you have but this one doesn't seem all that out of line.   JMO

I agree. Uniforms for coaches are just as manditory as uniforms for players. And with how many hours most assistants (especially grad assistants), throwing them a $40 shirt and shoes doesn't seem out of the question.

First regional rankings are out.

Give the current situation in the IIAC, would a team in the top 10 in regional ranks get left out of the dance?

Congratulations to the Dutch!

Missed the game yesterday...work. Weren't there highlights of the games before in the past on Centrals website? I looked, but did not see?

Interesting calls during Friday's high school game....I and the announcers (televised) have never heard of one of the calls/rules before or the motion call that the ref showed before announcing the call.

Illegal block below the waist on the lead blocker was called on the defense. (called twice)

The ref, who looked to be experienced (older), had complete control of the game. We were just wondering if the refs at this level had a meeting to make sure all the rules were enforced.
Has anyone heard of this call before? I tried looking it up, but could not find.

AZD

NFHS rules prohibit blcking below the waste period.  I had a game about 5 years ago on a punt return the punting team as the return team had a wall blocking for the returner, one of the punting teams players went and took out the wall by diving and their legs and I dropper the flag.  The rule book does not say blocking bleow the waste for offensive players it says blocking below the waste so we flagged the punting team. 

I'm not sure this is entirely true, in Texas I think you are able to cut block anywhere on the field, just like in college.

First Strength of Schedule is out.  Coe is #6.  What does this mean?  Still an outside shot at an at-large bid if there is a three-way tie for the title or not?

http://www.d3football.com/seasons/2010/schedule?tmpl=sos-template

A co-worker and I were talkign about this. Is there anyway 3 teams from the IIAC get invited to the playoffs? What if all 3 are ranked inside the top 15?

No one has mentioned the evolution of the athlete during this whole conversation. With players getting bigger/faster/stronger every year, injuries are bound to happen. It happens in every full contact sport. Football seems to be magnified because of its popularity.
There isn't a way to flag every helmet to helmet contact because it happens on every single play. Every time a linemen comes off the ball to run block, he will probably hit heads with the defender first.
You also can't take helmets away, that's ridiculous. Maybe they have become too modern, but players get concussions from hitting their head on the ground too hard (in all sports, not just football). Chances are the leather helmets players used to wear caused more concussions, there just wasn't the knowledge that is available know, and probably less people cared because football wasn't as popular as it is now.
If you start making so many rules that players have to think more during every single play, chances are more players are going to get hurt because they'll be slowing down to think about some rule and another player will be continuing full speed. Football is an instinctive sport, which is part of the reason people love to play and watch it.
In the NFL, players can be fined/suspended without pay, and that hurts them because that's how they make their living and provide for their family. College is different where you can't put a fine on this. I'm also pretty sure there aren't rules to protect defenseless receivers in college either. It comes down to leagues making rules, players following those rules, and if they don't either their league suspends them or their coach suspends them.
If we are talking neck injuries, the only way to prevent that is having your head up. I don't know the facts, but I guess that the majority of neck injuries do not come from head to head hits, but more like head down, top of helmet to a body part hit. I'm not saying they are more or less horrific injuries, but teaching technique only goes so far, players have to take it upon themselves to keep their heads up when making a hit. That also may be very difficult to see in the middle of a group of players, making the penalty more difficult to see.

Since it's Thursday night already, I feel safe to say this must be the quietest Coe/Wartburg week ever.

I think it has to do with the present situation:  

Though both teams are undefeated, Coe is heavily favored and the Wartburg faithful know it.  Knight fans, while cautiously optimistic, understand a Wartburg victory would be viewed as an upset of epic proportions.  This results in fans not being very boisterous.  Coe fans on the other hand are almost looking at this as a sure thing.  After all they have already defeated the conference favorite and the Knights should be a mere annoyance similar to a gnat.  Yet, there is that little lingering doubt and should the unimaginable happen it would be tough eating crow for the next few weeks.  This also results in a somewhat subdued atmosphere here on the board.  Basically everyone is trying to avoid spreading bad karma on their favorite team.  I guess instead of playing it out here on a discussion board, we'll let the kids settle it Saturday afternnon.

Trust me.  That is far from the truth.  It's Coe-Wartburg.  Anything can happen. 

i'm pretty sure this isn't far from the truth, to be honest.. for a long time no matter the rankings/records of Coe/Wartburg, Wartburg was always the favorite... I think Coe should expect a victory.. not just *hope* for a victory.

The week end starts with Friday Night high school football...

Have you heard of a team losing all 3 of their quarterbacks lately?
Well, we have. During the walk through yesterday our back up quarterback fractured his ankle?
The back up to the back up was the one that broke his leg last game. He was the one that we pulled up from the JV.
Now we're going to be using the back up from the JV. Should be an interesting game. 

do i hear calls for the spinner back?

All this time I kept quiet about you, and then you go and out yourself

That is awesome! Never would have expected it!!

Thanks, Willie!  I wanted to gain a little respect on the board before letting everyone know.  I have followed the sport for years, watching Vern Den Herder suit up as a Dutchman before a Dolphin.  Of course, I thought he was a great basketball player too, particularly since at that age I understood basketball more.  There was a lot of pride in watching a former Dutchman play in 4 Super Bowls, particularly his first 3 years out of college.  Talk about being in the right place at the right time.  Anyway, I have been a Central fan for longer than many of you have been alive and I will always bleed red and be proud of it.

thats pretty standard, right? i mean even for girls...

Good luck to Coe this Saturday! Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the game; instead will be at the Iowa @ Michigan game in the Big House cheering on the Hawks, but will be checking on here for updates...so please help keep me informed 

you can also follow D3Football and CoeAthletics on twitter for constant updates...

as well as if the Coe folks have any suggestions on where to catch the 2nd half of the Hawkeye game after the Kohawks shut the door with a Boyle 1 yd TD to go up 28-10

There are about 5 bars around Coe - most have deals during Iowa games, plus the newly added field house(s) - one by buffalo wild wings on blairs ferry and one down town across from bricks on 2nd ave se

I was looking at the IIAC standings and noticed that this could possible turn into quite a bit of a race.

*How is it determined who the conference champion is if two, possible three, teams end up with identical records?
*Has anyone in the past been determined the champion even though they didn't beat the team with an identical record (and that team beat them)?
*Who would be considered the most controversial champion in the past?

Won't matter after Coe handles business this weekend

Bird Dog: It's amazing that state schools don't win every Division III national championship with those numbers. On a percentage basis, they win right around 25%, which is consistent with the percentage of public schools in Division III.

Problem is that this is not high school. Colleges don't hang up signs in the dorms and recruit from the people already on campus to come try out for the team. People on the rosters are there because they came to the school with that in mind.
Division III schools are as large as 20,000 (NYU) and as small as 590 or so (Blackburn). Enrollment isn't the determining factor in a program's success.

BINGO!!!

If you build a winning program....they will come...

This is true, to an extent. Kid A in Wisconsin chooses to go to Wisconsin after being recruited to UWW (or any of the other schools), chances are that decision was not about money. If Kid B in Iowa chooses to go to Iowa after being recruited by Coe and Central (or any of the other schools), money could have very well been a (if not THE) deciding factor.

But you're changing the subject from size to scholarships.

Size/scholarship/cost of attending all matter... just stating that state schools are much different
