Linfield-5
IWU-4

IWU OUT...

Class, you know you don't go to class.  You and I both know you would rather be yelling in the left fielder's ear than be in class...

The Carthage/IWU series is pushed up to Thursday (DH) and then Friday.  Those of you out at in the outfield I will need some updates via text...

Congrats to Andy...

Here is an article on Bergman in the Kenosha News...

Little bit..... You. Redmenfan, I will be attending your game for a little bit then picking up someone for the Carthage game.  Redman1, I will stop out there in the outfield to see ya. I heard a nice little story about you at the last game....  "Chillin Movie"

Oh I know the Parkview Tavern all too well, sometimes I crave that smell of vomit...

RedMan1 when are you going to start your pregame festivities...

Should be an exciting series for Carthage and Augie this weekend, let's just hope the weather continues to be great in the Kenosha area.  Hopefully Carthage rattles off another 24 game winning streak. 

I agree its tough to get respect when you are in the IBFC.  And it will be tough in the new league as well.  As for the 3-5, Etter does not run that defense.  So whomever you are getting that information from is wrong.  That defense is only used when playing against a team that runs the wing t because the scheme of his current defense it is hard to make sure everyone is on the same page assignment wise.  It is something that is only used when scrimmaging CUW and at certain times when playing Augustana.  Etter's defense it self is a verison of the 4-2-5 with the Mike and Will backers in the box and the Sam linebacker walked up on the TE.  The Sam backer is the key to this defense.  It is a defense set up around speed and athleticism, with numerous blitzes and man coverage forcing you to beat them left handed.  As for the "beloved Coach Gabe" there was no disrespect intended by it.  All I am saying is give the guy and chance and there isn't a doubt in my mind that he will win you over with how well he gets his players to play for him.

I agree it seems as though this search was not all that it could have been.  Especially knowing that the AD is long time friends with him.  And also that the AD is the offensive coordinator, and he just happened to hire a defensive man?  That does not sound like coincidence to me.  Also, the recently hired coach Walker probably has ties to etter from when he coached at Carthage.  Im fully behind the program and its coach, however I feel that this was a convenient hire, and possibly not the best one.


Best of luck falcons

I don't know how you could possibly say that.  In the 5 seasons that Etter was the Defensive Coordinator at Carthage he completely changed the mindset of that unit and the team.  He brought in great recruits from the Chicago area and help Carthage win its first conference title in 31 years.  You might think it is "convenient" but I will tell you this Etter will win more conference titles than your beloved Coach Gabe did.  And he will bring your program a little more respect on the national level than what you have at the current moment.  Only time will tell.

Concordia just got a GREAT Coach in Greg Etter.  Without a doubt they will continue to be successful and if not this move will help them be a dominate force in years to come.  CONGRATS to Coach Etter and Concordia, look forward to the scrimmage it will be a Carthage reunion with Etter and Walker (CUW) and the rest of the Carthage staff...

First and foremost CONGRATS to Coach Etter!!!  There is NO ONE that deserves this more than he does.  He will be tremendously successful at Concordia.  Carthage will miss him, but I have all the faith in Coach Rucks that he will be able to find a person just as great as Coach Etter.  Here is the article from the Kenosha paper.

Yes I do.  On what basis, I'll get back to you.

Agree - Both Carthage and Elmhurst a light years ahead of NP.  But, I think this is the year NP steals one and it will happen against Carthage, Elmhurst or Milikin (in that order of most likely to least likely).

Whatever it is you are on I want some, because have no clue what is going on.  And you wonder why your karma takes hits, that comment might be why...

I see the Carthage/Elmhurst game coming down to this.  First will be the play of Kudyba, if he is able to read Carthage's Defense and find where the holes are and make plays both running and throwing.  If he can make plays scrambling that will cause Carthage's Defense to pay more attention to him and that will in turn cause the Elmhurst WR's to get open.  Next will be the Carthage rushing attack and also the ability to control the clock.  With the style of Defense that Carthage plays having them out there the majority of the game will play into Elmhurst's hands.  Like at Whittier when Whittier had the ball for 13:18 in the first quarter.  In the CCIW you must be able to run the football and control the clock, and right now Carthage seems to be struggling in that area.  But knowing Coach Rucks he will have his team ready to play this week to win those one on one battles, that Elmhurst forces teams to play, just as he does every week.
