Yea Cougswillwin...what baseman said...your face IS unstoppable.

I am guessing that the 9 game season is a simple misprint or something....I know eureka is still playing CUC next year. Is that posted on the schedule?

Mr. Coleman-- I know that a whole O-line is picked for team of the week...when I put it all in caps with the question marks it was in regards to the CUW d-line and telling them they better bring their "A" game because Bethel has such a great O-line. Sorry for the misinterpretation.

THE WHOLE O-LINE WAS PLAYER OF THE WEEK FOR BETHEL???

I will agree with you on some aspects of your comment cudub in that CUW has a good D-line. However, the only good aspect of the d-line is Wilbur. Why do the other guys look good??? The run has to be bounced around outside almost 90% of the time making it easier for the d-ends to make plays. Big props to Wilbur because when teams are changing their running game because of one person, it sure does say something about that person and their abilities. Now, don't get me wrong...I believe the numbers are 98 and 95 on the d-line and those are some decent sized guys. I would take #40 out of this game because he is waaayyyyyyy undersized and speed isn't going to work in this game for him. put 95 and 98 on the ends and let Wilbur clog the middle to try and prevent anything from happening between the hashes.


Baseman-
We all know you hamster was on roids and that is illegal...the Pringle Cup is a disgrace to hamster racing all over the world and I am not taking that back.

CougsFB-

Who are you??
I have been called a pimp on many occasions, 

Keeping it Civil....

I am Billy Bob from the Trailer Park of Eureka College. I am kidding. You know who this is...I lived on your floor your last year....HAMSTER RACES!!!! hahaha


Looks like the running back from Bethel has made the front page...interesting statistic.

Gomer- I'm keeping it civil. I was just restating what was said from the MIAC board...I also think CUW has a shot....if they come out and play.

What everyone needs to realize about the CUW/Simpson game is that Mequon was running the spread offense. Mequon...RUNNING THE SPREAD??? The new offense installed obviously didn't work for a team that has like I said before, a C- passing game. So everyone could throw the Bethel beat Simpson whatever to nothing and CUw lost 14- the magical number this week..."3"

And to set things straight...I am not rooting for CUW, I am rooting for the IBFC. Being a former player, I cannot go for another team I played against.

GO IBFC!

Baseman...you're a pimp.

Gomer, the only reason I would say that CUW loses this game is because of the information given from the MIAC board. Granted, they might be biased because it is their team in the playoffs, if true... they said Bethel has a great run defense. Think about it, what does CUW do??? They have at most, a C- passing game and their offense is based off the run. If they do happen to run the ball well and get 3-5 yards a pop...then I do think CUW keeps this game closer than some people expect. Since I am part of the IBFC, I will not go against Mequon because there is possibility they could win this game and the "3" will help them.

CUWs keys for winning this game:
1. Control the clock more than Bethel (it was said they like to run the clock and keep control....steal that away from them)
2. 3-5 yds per carry (able to control clock with this and get the defense tired)
3. FIELD GOALS "3"
4. Huge defensive plays (CUW has some good players at LB and DB...lets not forget about Wilbur in the middle. He could definately change the way Bethel has to run the ball and this might cause some frustration. GET BIG WILBUR)
5. Special teams...CUW did very well with special teams this year and this needs to be huge in this game.

The only thing that scares me about CUW is how close some teams in the IBFC played them. Hopefully they come out to play on Saturday and give the IBFC their first and last win in the D-3 playoffs.

Is anyone attending this game?

Hester--When I put the teams' fields/stadiums in the order, I was talking about all around (field, stands, sidelines, maintenance). Eureka's field does not top Greenville and Lakeland's field overall. Greenville has just put in a track around the field (again, saw pictures) and it looks amazing. The grass is always in great condition and even when it rains, it is not like playing in a mud pit. Playing at Eureka was difficult. The field goes uphill...and its not a tiny slant, it is harder to run towards the North endzone. Grass is usually nice when it is thick but Eureka makes sure to keep their grass nice and long, which when it rains out becomes a ridiculous mess.

Baseman-- Eureka has a kicking net now ...blocking the football from hitting good ole Billy Bob's finely tuned trailer.

cudub--I am also excited about the new conference next year. It will be good to have new blood in the conference and to also not go below Chicago to play a conference game. It will be interesting to see how these new teams fair in the NAC. I hope for the best with all teams in the off season.  I am already pumped for the 2008 season.

Cougswillwin--Hey there friend...good to see you.

CUC has one of the top 3 fields in the IBFC....if I had to rank the fields/stadiums in order it would be:
1. Benedictine
2. CUC
3. CUW (new field)
4. Aurora (best natural)
5. Greenville
6. Lakeland
7. Eureka
8. MAC

MAC and Eureka shouldn't even be placed on the list because the fields are just plain ridiculous for a college team. Benedictine has the nicest stadium but....its so big it never gets filled. But if any of the other schools had pro/semi pro teams playing at their schools, they would have the same type of facilities. Aurora has amazing grass to play on but the stands suck and I hated playing there all the time because there is no separation between the away team and home fans...you could hear every remark being made.

The reason I posted this is because facilities are a huge deal when you bring in recruits. Recruits see a field such as BU, CUC, or CUWs and they will love it. A lot of the teams are less fortunate than others.

I agree with your list as well.  the problem with Mac's field is simple.  when it was just built, the rumor was they wanted to take a year still to play on the old field while the new field was "under construction"  the problem was, they wanted to play on the new field so much, they played on it a year too early and ever since then they have had every problem in the book with it.  they always have trouble keeping grass on it every year, the sidelines flood, etc.  However, they have tried to make improvements.  they have actually gotten new wieght room equitment, its only like 2 years old now, and they are trying to make make the field as well as possible.  its just going to take time.  at least mac is trying to make improvements here and there, it is just finding the money to get them done. 

Yeah, I definately wasn't trying to down MACs program....frustrations as an ex-player came out thinking about playing on it. I just remember shards of glass in the middle of the field, bricks sticking out of the ground on the sidelines and the grass having a yellowish-brown shade. I am sure of it that MAC is trying to better the field because it is dangerous to all players playing there and not just the away team.

I agree with your list more or less cougs.  However the CUW "stadium" is very very poor.  I know that there are plans to change it (possibly as soon as next season).  But i can tell you that when i was recruited there the field was actually something that turned me off to the school.  Especially having visited the WIAC schools who all had extremely nice facilities.  I think that schools would do much better to have "football buildings".  I know this is not exactley what most schools like spending money on, but when you go to the bigger schools, they all have their own buildings where meetings, weight rooms, and film sessions all take place.  These are the type of things that really impress a recruit, and show dedication to the program. 

Sorry, I wasn't referring to the stands of CUW...those are pretty bad. I was referring to the new turf they had put in. I have only seen pictures though...never played on it.

The only thing i had against Lakelands field was how much of a slope there was from sideline to sideline, which I know is for flooding purposes. That was one huge slope though and that is why I thought Auroras field was better off.

Whats going on FalcsFB??? Kind of stole your idea for a name but figured you wouldn't mind. 

It is going to be a rough 1st game in the playoffs for the IBFC team this year...good luck to you guys at Mequon...play with heart. Like someone said earlier, UPSETS HAPPEN EVERY SATURDAY

Gomer...I am gladly going to support my team. I am a Cubs fan as well so getting tagged with being a Believer is going to be a new part of my lifestyle I guess. the Cougars actually give me something to believe about though...I am fed up with the Cubs.
