Fatal~
We were that good.  25 game winning streaks with the IBFC didn't happen before and hasn't happened again.  An overall record of 27-1 with in the IBFC.  The best team that you played on lost as many IBFC games in a season then I did in my career.  We lost non-con. games to CCIW champs IWU 7-6 and Big Blue 14-12.  That's a little different then getting run by ALMA.  After we were done Coach Scott said "now the bar has been set." Fatal... I LOVE THE SPARTANS.  I know you and I love you.  Your brother is a great player.  You have a great family and I'm glad you chose to be a Spartan but understand this, 1998-2001, we were that good. 

Thanx man, That winning tradition is why I chose Aurora in the first place..And It has gotten nothing but better.....IMO......, and I love u too man.......anyway....I know you see where I'm coming from...It's not so much that I don't think certain teams then and now...I think more of the competition has become almost equal....True they may not be as good as the teams on that 25-1 run but I think in light of new recruits and new facilities I believe the competition is better, thus the conference gets more competitive....for example CUW this went 10-0 and congratse to them, but they did play a lot of close games (CUC and GC) so that says something about this conference, and even LC last year was a great team as was AU in 2004 so I'm just trying to say that yeah we haven't gone 25-1 over these last couple of seasons but I still think that AU is one of the greatest teams in the IBFC........Based on the fact they have never really left the top two or three while all the other teams go from bad to good and bad again AU is consitently in the top tier of this conference and if there is one year of this conference left (I think) I say AU wins it, much like CUW won it this year

Thanx for the props on my bro too

Fatal,
If we (AU) want to be considered a good team, we can't use the IBC as our measuring stick.  If you look at CUW this year, everyone talks about the wins over NC and Simpson.  Those wins against teams from top leagues carry more weight than running the table in the IBC.  I don't agree that the competition in the league has leveled out.  I think that many of the IBC are not as competative as they use to be.  You don't the All-American type players that you saw 2 to 8 years ago.  Back then everyone (even CUC had a rediculous kicker) had at least a few of those type players.  Recruiting has become tougher.  From an AU perspective, they have raised the admissions requirement but have done nothing to improve the facilities.  I know it is comming, but nothing yet.  So now they are trying to recruit the same kids as NC and Augie without anything visable to show that they are on the same level.  That is tough for the coaching staff to overcome.  BU has improved facilities, but the lack of a consistent coaching staff has hinderd the development of their program.  Mac, EC, and Greenville have it tough because they have poor facilities and a smaller recruiting base (not being close to a city).  CUC being a Missouri Synod Lutheran school makes it tough to recruit because of the religous expectations of the student-athletes.  CUW ans Lakeland have to recruit against the WAIC schools who are cheaper, bigger, and have a ton of tradition and name reccognition.

The FSU comparison was a little over the top.  Being an AU guy you have to understand where I an comming from.

I don't whine.  I don't make excuses.  I don't complain.  I do make fun of CUC fans.  I do giggle at CUC players.  I find it amusing that you believe the new coach will win.  I took very little enjoyment in beating ya'll 76-0 or 66-0.  It was not fun and I was bored.

High expectations for CUC=3 wins

NECK!!!

p.s.- The IBFC top-to-bottom was better back then.  2006 CUW could play with and beat anyone of the following teams: MAC (98-02), CUW (98-00) BU (98-99) and AU (98-01), but they could also get beat by any of these teams.  MAC had great teams (Carter, Lee, Budda), CUW had great teams, BU even had a couple great teams.  Gardner, Pat Ryne, Verdone... yeah they could all play.  We beat them all

haha, thats cool man, laugh all you want. You are probably the one to give me two more - karma and thats even better. You laugh at CUC and CUC players, thats wrong man. Players are players and no matter what, they are playing for the love of the game at the D3 level and I would give you - karma points for saying that but I am not a piece of **** who sits at my comp all day reading every post for hours upon hours and making posts every chance i get. I better be quiet now or else my karma points are going to be worse than 7400's. Grow up and get a life.

[Fartcus Smellwood]

You make a lot of sense Da One, good post....I give you +1 imaginary karma point. Congrats....but seriously, good post.

[TruCountry95]

2 Things have come out here today from AU.  1st the 98-01 Aurora Spartan Team seems to the old Spartans to be in comparison to the 2006 Texas Longhorn's, 85' Bears, and the 72' Dolphins. 

If you had to pick between the 98-01 Spartans and a Hurricane named Sparty?  How bout the 98-01 Spartans and all of God's Heavenly Angels?

2nd. Alot of Ass-Grabbin is going with the "love you's" let's cool it a bit, coming off a little fruity. 


Speaking of Stadiums and poor facility's. GC was offered a brand new state of the art field, stands, press boxes, professional painting for the field, came up to around a 3.5 million dollar facility.   The only problem was this field was going to be bought by Budweiser Community Program.  The scoreboard was going to have Budweiser logo's and that's it.  GC Board unamiously shot down the proposal.  That kinda sucks.  No alcohol would have been sold or anything like (town is dry anyway) just the Budweiser logo's.  This was around 5 years ago I think when the meetin actual happened.  Just thought that was kinda of crazy but I can also see where GC is coming from being a Christian school and I respect the decision.

[79jaybird]

Press boxes and facilitie are not the responsibility and/or "driven by" the NCAA.  The finger should be pointed at individual schools and how much time/effort/money etc.  is going to be invested into it.  You can't go blaming the NCAA for not being able to host a playoff game.
Concordia-WI should look at their neighbors to the South in Carthage.  Did Carthage whine about not being able to host?  Perhaps in the early going, but I give Carthage credit for "biting the bullet", taking the Bull by the horns and winning their game on the road.
As a commentator, I feel that every school should have reasonable accomodations.  This doesn't mean you have to be a "Cadillac or BMW", but at least have a "Common Car" that gets the job done. 
Look at Benedictine.  I can recall a few years back having to bring extra phone lines (50 feet worth) to be able to hook up to the nearest jack.  Now the Eagles have a very nice facility.

On the Karma issue.  Take a look at the CCIW Board.  We tend to get into some pretty heated discussions with a few guys from Wheaton/NC/Carthage/and Elmhurst.  Do we have - 30 Karma?  No.  We appreciate each other's input and don't go taking and/or giving sucker punches to each other or their schools.

99' Spartans 56
Hurricane named Sparty -7

99-01 CUC 3   Spartans 182

GC with Budweiser, EC with talent, LC with class,  AU without Budweiser,  CUC and winning records, CUW without talent, and BU without fumbles... can anyone find a common quality in these statements?

[Twisted2]

P.S.  I'm gay because I love a teamate.

[7400West]

P.S.  I'm gay because I love a teamate.

Anyway we'll agree....to disagree.......I think tru is just mad cuz we stopped talkin aboutGC for a couple of posts

[Gomer Pyle]

  Talking about "classy" Press Boxes.................The one at MacMurray
   looks like a card board box with holes cut in it for the PA announcer to see
   out of.  Really tacky! 

[Pat Coleman]

Well, and if MacMurray makes the playoffs again, you can be sure it won't get a home game.

[SaintsFAN]

Pat,

Maybe it serves better as a tree stand for Deer season??
