FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

Curfalum-

Damn, I agree with BluPhi, what's your problem?

The truth is they are in better shape than with Hynes or Conwell, the numbers speak for themselves.  At least they have the first important part down to rebuilding a team, getting players to the school.  The 2nd part is making them stay, which has been the issue there the in past years. 

You can get quality players from Lutheran high schools, I bet CUWs team is made up mostly of players who went to Lutheran high schools, (and if not then I apologize).  All 10 Concordias are all Lutheran private universities and most of the students come from private Lutheran schools.  Look what CUW has done thus far, it can be done getting quality players from private high schools.  Now, you just need to be able to find the quality ones, that was conwells big issue. 

Anyhow, I am not saying CUC will win 9 games, but give them a chance, it's early in the year, plus they have 1 more win already then last year, IT'S A START!!!!!

i guess you wasn't around when a few of us agreed to cease the direct name calling.  anyhow i don't know anything about the kid but i am aware that stats don't always tell the whole story.  for example, a fullback of BU  last year made all conference and he didn't have 1000yds rushing.  when i was playing that was one of many criterias a player had to meet before even getting nominated ! i ain't joking but that's the way it was and that was a political push.  it is what it is..... 

apparently you're not aware of the current world.  everything is political

BluPhi-

Just for a point of discussion - FB are blockers, receivers and ball carriers - so if the BU FB got honors it had to do with his ability to excel in each of those areas.

i wasn't saying i'm not in agreement but that's what took place.  i'm not questioning his worthiness of the honors.  God bless him and many more.

Just a tid bit on the BU FB from last year.  He is one of my good friends and I know he wont really care that I say this because I always razzed him about it.  He couldnt bench 185 more than 3 times,  however he could squat a little bit, but was coming off a knee injury his junior year so hadn't done much lifting at all.  He was all conference because of all the aforementioned reasons and because he was a tough tackle (just ask the safety from Aurora).  I know that wasnt the purpose of your post about all conference but there are naturally born football players that are just good.  Its not about yards, or atleast it shouldnt be.

hey bufan...............Who won that game and what was the score?

[sotha sil]

langston was an all region player last year...I am not sure with what source be it d3football.com or any others....people work hard in this conference no doubt....but i promise this no one that has worked harder than bobby and no one will give more of themself than bobby....he applied pressure on an all american qb and never stopped harrassing the man....reeno i know you are upset bc you love your LB friend at MAC...but he isnt langston...hell there isnt a person that is a better MAN than langston...he is the type of guy you want your kids to grow up and be like ...hard working, honest, great student, great athlete...

[Pat Coleman]

Langston was not on our All-Region team, but he would have had a shot if his school had nominated him.

[bufan]

I apparently struck a nerve with fatal impact.  My point had nothing do with scorebaords and such.  They were talking all conference and i simply added that he was a tough tackle and that hit was one i remember the most because that safety was apparently a very good one.  No reason to take offense, I didnt mean to rag on anybody, and i seriously think that safety would tell u the truth about that hit.

Fatalimpact

Are you the safety? And if you answered yes, did you change your D3football.com screen name after that collision?

[sotha sil]

thanks pat...I know he was with at least one source...I am not sure which one...I will get on the SID about nominating some people...Rick hutchins had 8 or 9 ints last year...would he have had a shot at all region?

[FatalImpact]

I ain't that safety, but I was at the game.....you make it seem like he laid out the safety on every play.........I am not saying that he wasnt a good player.....But he trounced pretty much no one.......he was pretty agile though......Didnt he play both ways?

Reeno, Bobby Langston is by far the most dominate player on the defensive side of the ball this year, Quit frankly he may be a NFL prospect with his size and dominace, just because he had only four takles and 2 sacks tells me that this ranked team they played ran the other way. I personaly think he is the best the IBFC has this year not to say that there are not others deserving for there efforts. He will be the player of the year at the end I called this way back in Jan. I have no reason to pick him other than that he is the best!!!!!. Besides, you can't say that because he is playing D3 he is not worthy. Ryan played DII his first year and Dominated the IBFC when he transfered and had his opportunities. of course his OL was responsible for his award. He clearly admitted that, you yourself should have played at the DII level, my feeling is you dominated at receiver because you played D3 and not DII. There are some very good D3 players out there including your St. Mary boy.. Mark my words Langston is the real deal. Just MADDOGS, opinion.
