AU had a good week of practice from what I hear, after a lackidazical (Ronnie-ism)showing at IWU they come ready to play

Rockford is not up to their usual running game LC takes this

Larry Hariel runs the ball well and CUC has yet to stop a good rushing team I like WLC

CUW over MBBC even though MBBC will show up for the first half they just lack the depth

Congrats to AU and CUC for being 2-0 and leading the NAC in non-conference victories. 4 NAC teams against the CCIW this week. Look for CCIW domination. BU has a chance against North Park.

Week 3 guesses.

CUC at Olivet- big game for the cougers. This game will see where they are physically against a physical team. Olivet over CUC 31-24.

Macalaster(MN) over MBBC- 31-6

Alma rocks Rockford 28-7

WLC gets first win at St. Scholastica WLC38-SSC27

AU at IWU CCIW continues domination of NAC IWU34- AU10

CUW at Wheaton, Ouch, Wheaton 51-CUW 6

Lakeland at Carthage, close last year but in 2009 another Ouch for LC. Carthage 42- LC 34.

NPU at BU. BU gets a close win over the CCIW school. BU14-North Park13

Good luck to everyones team. Next week is a bye week before the conference chase starts. Look out for BU, WLC and CUC. IMHO they are out to make the top 3.




AU will show up to make it close, otherwise good to see the NAC earn some respect with their non conferance wins!

Looks like Concordia IL is making some noise as well as Wisc Lutheran I think it will be a real dog fight this year in the NAC.
AU on the road to IL Weslyan should be a good game with the AU offense starting to come together.

AU will be home Aug 29 for their scrimmage vs North Park this year.  Recruits, I havent heard too much
other than what most others have already noted. The QB. and a RB from AZ dont know much about him.  It would be nice to get some wins in non conferance play.  That would give the conferance a big boost.

Who do think the team will be? CUW or maybe BU. I would not argue with that if that is your selection. This year may be a year where several teams sneak up on some of the so called preseason front runners. Good Luck to your team whoever it is in 2009.

I think AU CUW and Lakeland will be in the mix folled bt Rockford BU Wisc Lutheran ,  the AU defense looks solid, Reder should be healthy, as far as the offense, we will see what the new QB and the O line bring to the table.  But ......... I cant wait! It should be another exciting year

muzzman;

Very good advice and points. The next few years will be a challenge for all of us parents and students. I have heard that in some states the non D1 state schools are trimming athletic budgets, raising tuitions and cutting staff. These are do to loss of state revenues. This will make Athletic departments be self funding as is most D1 schools. For the state schools not D, this situation could help even out the cost at some of the private schools out there. It's going to get ugly and folks are going to have to get creative.

Muzzman, it looks as if AU will be the heavy favorite next year. I think they reload and will walk away with the title again.

I would encourge anyone that has family attending any DIII school to use the finacial aide office as a resource, and apply for any grants and scholarships that are available.  I know that AU just came out with a new needs based grant. I think the availability and source change every year.  Seems the Govt wants to bail out just about every Tom Dick and Harry.  Looking for a quick fix when these young minds may one day man the ship.  The Govt should do more, like put a cap on the runaway cost of tuition and the book scams.  Good Luck

Congrats to the Spartans on a good season.  I thought the AU fans would have traveled a little better than they did, since it was an "in-state" game for them.   But I applaud the fans who did come down for the game.  They cheered really hard for their team, even after there was no doubt in the outcome of the game.
Yes Scottie, thank you for your kind words.   We did cheer hard, however it was nort enough to overcome our mistakes.  Congrats to the Spartans, a lot of the naysayers didnt think they would make it this far.  MC has had a great year good luck on your journey

Talking about a game in week 1 is silly. Let's see, MC beat Loras 24-17 in week 1. In week 2 Loras barely beat Millikin who got crushed by the team AU lost to 44-0. What the heck does that mean? NOTHING. It really is a stupid arguement. Here are the facts: AU has a tough defense that has stopped both passing and running teams. AU is clearly no Ripon or Carroll that run the ball 75% of the time.

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

AU is the clear underdog here and as all NAC fans know, they wouldn't have it any other way. They were overlooked all season and they contiue to do so. I pray that MC takes AU lightly, they will sure be in for a big surprise. One thing I know, AU is going to come ready to play and it is going to be a good game...no matter what others might think!!!

AU DAD

Well said.  Bring your a game!
