If you want to discuss football I'd be more than happy to talk football with you, but if you want to act like an idiot, forget it. You can take that non-football talk somewhere else. We talk football on here, so if you want to be a teacher go be a teacher. I'm sorry that I don't type to your liking & that I'm not as smart as you. I know one thing for sure, you have no clue about football otherwise I'm sure you would have shared all your knowledge with us. I'm wondering why your on this section of the D3 site with so much hate for the NAC conference? I got news for you: your opinion is not needed or wanted on here. I guess I'm dumb as a stump so whatever, but I come on here to support the teams and players of this conference, you obviously don't. Please don't answer back because I'm not on here to go back and forth over your negativity.

To Maidenslayer77:

I couldn't agree with you more about the AU defense! I can't wait for the CUC - AU game this week! This is one of those must see games in my opinion! However, I do disagree with you on the outcome of the game! Right now I think CUC is playing their best ball of the year! I truely believe if they were to play BU again now they would beat them! They did not play well in that BU game & still almost won the game! As well as CUC is playing I think a rematch with BU would be much different! So no disrespect to AU who I think is a very good team I just think they are catching CUC at a bad time! We will see... 

Congrats to BU as the conference playoff representative! They did it on the field & it's well deserved! I have to say after following the conference for a few years now I am a bit disappointed that there is only going to be one conference representative in the playoffs! I know that's how it works...I'm just dreaming ! I understand that every conference could probably say the same thing! I just would like to see how the CUC / AU game winner this coming week would also fair in the playoffs along with BU! Again, I know that this is all just dream talk but I think it would be interesting to see! Obviously depending on matchups & given the right opponent I think any or all 3 teams could have a good playoff showing! Just thinking out loud! I wonder how many of you feel BU will fair and how you think one of the other two would do?   

Good luck to all the teams this week! 

Be safe!

Game of the week:
WLC - AU      (There is a lot of hype around this game with what it means to the standings in the NAC! WLC has a great opportunity this week and next! Are they up to the challenge? I think it's a tall order! I don't see them winning both games...although I would like to be wrong! As far as this game goes I see a good close game with a lot depending on AU's ability to hold onto the ball.  If they turn it over like they did against BU then they will lose but I don't think that is going to happen and they win a tough game!)                                  AU 21 - WLC 14

LC - MBBC     (LC better be careful here! MBBC I think gives them trouble as there has been much talk of LC and their ability to stay focused this year!  I've seen LC play this year and I couldn't agree more about their focus! So a lot depends on their motivation to finish the season strong! Since I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to win every game they play I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say they win this game!)
                                              LC 21 - MBBC 7

RC - BU          (I'm not trying to being harsh when I say RC has a lot of problems to fix before they will ever be competitive with a team like BU and it could not be any worse than QB troubles! If in fact they have to start a WR at QB they probably don't score in this game! I hope that's not the case for all involved because it's not going to be a fun game for BU to play either!)                                   BU 42 - RC 0

CUC - CUW               (There's a new big brother in this rivalry game and that would be CUC! For years I know CUW did not think much of this game as a rivalry but times have changed! CUW has no choice but to view them differently now or they better! CUW better dig in because here comes a CUC offense and it's nothing like any offense they have seen in the past from these guy's (better than last years...even more weapons in my opinion)! I know CUW will be fired up but that will only do so much for them as the trackmeet starts at 12:00pm...bad week for homecoming!                CUC 35 - CUW 14
                                       

AU - RC    (Nothing to talk about here)     AU wins

BU - LC     (LC is punchless on offense, only one way to look here -                            and the beat goes on for BU)
                             BU wins

WLC - CUW     (Game of the week:  WLC just has
                                    been playing better...thats just the way I see it)
                                     WLC wins

CUC - MBBC     (Nothing to discuss - wipeout)  CUC wins

Game of the Week:
CUW - AU  (AU gonna be just too much here folks...it will probably look a lot like last weeks CUW/BU game!)
                                      AU 35 - CUW 10   

LC - CUC      (CUC at home...offensively will be running a track meet!)
                               CUC 35 - LC 7

MBBC - BU     (MBBC quick duck!)
                                BU 42- MBBC 0

RC - WLC     (RC...No way...No how...No where to hide!)
                               WLC 35 - RC 0                   

I don't see too many surprises this week boys!  Here's how I see the week unfolding:

AU over MBBC  (AU is probably steaming after their close loss last week & I see them taking that anger out on MBBC!  I think AU bounces back in which will be their best played game to this point)  AU 42 - MBBC 7

BU over CUW  (I don't know if CUW has enough to take BU out?  I do see BU playing down a bit this week after their tough game last week but in the end they have too much offense!  As long as BU stays focused they should win this one but not by a large margin!)                     BU 28 - CUW 14

CUC over RC  (There is only one way to go in this one & I think CUC can name the score!)  CUC 35 - RC 7

GAME OR THE WEEK:

WLC over LC  (I see this game being close with WLC winning the game in the 4th Qtr with some good defense & a seperation TD in the 4th to hold LC off)  WLC 24 - LC 10

Note:  Right around weeks 4, 5 & 6 teams start to get a little tired & beat up as the season starts to wear on the players bodies!  This is when things become a bit of a challenge for coaches & players alike!  I think we will see some teams this week that will be a little flat & a few that will be catching their 2nd wind for the stretch run!

Good luck to all the teams & everyone be safe!   

I just wanted to wish my best to that Rockford player!  I hope it is nothing serious!  My prayers are with him and his family!   

I would have loved to watch this game!  It sounds like it was a good one!  I thought that AU would maybe win this one but as somebody said turnovers just won't get it done!  Congrats to BU in beating a tough team today!

Lots of league games left...looking for some more excitement from these teams!  Still some good match ups left in this already fun year!   

CUC 38 - WLC 21

CUC got back on track today and they did so against a tough WLC team!  CUC's defense came up big today after their stinker last week against Benedictine! 
I will tell you I made comments last week about CUC's defense being one that I don't think people should over look!  They came back today and backed my thoughts!  There is no doubt that the CUC defense needs to improve on some of their bad performances (last week being one)!  I just know that this group is capable of playing the way they did today which was very good!  I never expected for them to play the way they did against Benedictine!  They absolutely looked lost in that game and I'm not sure why?  They didn't even look like they were playing the same "D" they had been playing in previous games?  I take nothing from Benedictine's offense (which is a good one) but CUC looked like they hadn't played together all year!  Now whether it was a change in defensive scheme for that game or what is anyone's guess but they didn't look right to me?  Just a note:  Benedictines defense didn't fair much better!  These are powerful offenses that these teams are trying to slow down! 

I'm not here to make claims that the CUC defense is tops in the league (because I know that is not true...that they have to prove even to me)!  I just felt and still feel that their defense is one that shouldnt be taken lightly!  There is no secret that when CUC wins it's because the defense played well or did what it needed to do!  The CUC offense just keeps rolling so in my opinion it's the defense that is going to win or lose games for them!  I agree 100% with what some of you said defense does win championships...and I guess that's why I have looked at their defense as a needed key to their success!  I do think that they are better than many people give them credit for!  I never said they were a great unit but I do think they have some good players and shouldnt be taken lightly!  Just my opinion!  I enjoy the debate!  Don't beat me up too much over this...LOL!

This is a fun year in the conference!

I can see why AU & Lakeland are two of the toughest teams to play year in and year out!  There usually is valuable information within the numbers and those speak for themselves!

Interesting! Thanks for the information!

Who is the best home team & who is the best road team in the NAC?
