Ummm iowa conference title last yr?  Last I checked the highest he finished was third.....
Won the conference tournament...... not iowa conference title. We won the conference title which in my opinion is harder to do than win 3 games in one week.

Congrats to Coach Franzen for another championship year. No MVP Larson or defensive MVP Merritt and still win the iiac. Impressive!

 Crazy week for Norse. I thought would be 2 easy wins against loras and simpson but almost was 2 losses. Shows how balanced conference is.
We need simpson and bv fans to post more.

Floyd,
Completely agree with everything. It is still wide open. Dubuque is scary and we all know what bv can do. And wartburg won't go away. Coe is the mystery to me.

Was wondering what the coe fans think of the new coach? Basically team as last yrs championship team. Already have same amount of conference losses as last yr.

No surprises today. All home teams win.

I like our chances for another league title!

I'll take 5-1. Nice win by mr doolittledog. You guys always find a way to win those close games

Remember only 14 game conference this yr

I think will have to be 10-4 to win it

After we beat wartburg Saturday will have to go 4-3 the rest of way to get there.

Great to see Norse at 3-0, but 3 wins (loras Simpson central) combined 0-9.
A lot of years wins against loras and central are good wins but might be this year.
We will know a lot more in a week.

Luther wins a defensive battle with the storm. Another coach of year for coach franzen?

Surprise of the year has to be wartburg. Two good wins so far.
Still have a long ways to go.

Conference starts Saturday. We have looked pretty good in non conference games against a tough schedule.  Need to take care of business against a lesser Loras team.
Really think iiac has 5 good teams and 3 bad teams this year. Loras Simpson Wartburg will fight for last playoff spot. Other 5 teams all have shot for title. Last 4 conf champs Coe Luther Central BV.Dubuque wants to get in that mix. Might be best team.

Will be interesting as usual

Loras Simpson wartburg look weak. All other teams look like they could make a run at it

How does Loras and wartburg have the best gyms and the last few yrs horrible basketball teams

Last 3 conf champs are coe Luther central. Those are the worst gyms in iiac

Got to see my Norse tonight and I am really excited about this year. Think we have the best post players in the conference. And everyone knows that we are always one of the best defensive teams in the iiac.

Dubuque lost @ UW-Stout 61-51 after leading at the half 31-30.  Sounds like a cold shooting second half.  A WIAC poster described UD as good size but poor guard play.  UD must have added some height, because they have recently run a 3 guard lineup and relied and their guard play.  Klompen can remember her favorite UD player Taylor Blum and his lack of height

We're still pretending klompen is female?

I am counting on Coaches Jones and Mac to put a lot of time in helping the O-line get their level of play up a notch for this weekend.  The Dutch will need to be clicking on all cylinders and then some this weekend.  Would love to see Central finish strong.  Good luck to all of the seniors playing their final game this weekend.  I will wish Coe's seniors good luck the next week.   

So are you giving the O-line coach the week off then?

Jones is the o-line coach

So is Evans.

Wish we had 2 o line coaches. Probably why one program is great and has resources and we won't win a game this yr.
lucky for us basketball season is coming and our staff is nothing short of great and ready for another big year

Can't remember who was faulting Central for appointing a "coach that couldn't win" (paraphrasing) to A.D....well Central opened their season yesterday by thoroughly beating No. 19 St. Olaf 24-11.....

Maybe you were right after all and it will be a great hire.

One thing I hated when I was at Luther was hearing wrestlers talk about rankings of how much harder they had it then everyone Else. Is there only like 70 d3 wrestling programs.

How about them Kohawks?! 

I was at the game on Saturday. Not much to say, other than I was very impressed with Coe.  Not taking anything away from Coe's performance, but it was apparent that Simpson is not quite there yet.  Although, they are certainly moving in the right direction from previous years.

What does Simpson need to happen now to get in playoffs?
