FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[ncc58]

First time around, NCC couldn't stop the CUW counter plays. This time they will. First time, CUW's passing attack was terrible. I'll guess that they figured it out just a little. First time, double overtime. This time, well do they have lights at Wisconsin Lutheran? Could go deeper into overtime.

All-American QB beats All_American D-lineman.  Sorry Bobby.  I'll take Kam in a blowout.  CUW can't throw the ball.  NCC beat a better CUW team (Augie) later in the season.  NCC wins.

okay, is this new conference thing happening this up-coming season or the season of 08??? I am hearing things left and right and just was wondering if anyone knew for sure. thanks.

The IBFC will have its final season next fall. Most of the schools in the IBFC will play football in the Northern Athletics Conference beginning in 2008. The NAC formed this year - it's a merger of the Lake Michigan Conference and Northern Illinois-Iowa Conference. Macmurray, Eureka and Greenville will not play football in the NAC.

my karma points dropped from last time and i havent said anything in awhile nor do i think i said anything to piss someone off. oh well. Seems like this game between CUW/NCC is going to be a close one, there will be no blow out though. CUW is not a slack team and will not get beat by more than a touchdown if they do lose, don't give NCC that much credit because they have revenge on their side. You could hold a little comparison to the beginning of the season but how many weeks away is that from now? Yes, both teams have improved and it is going to be a good game! 8)

But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

sorry, i just read the bottom of my post and had to copy and past for some reason...one of the greatest quotes ever.

I think its going to be a great game and am pulling for CU-W all the way.  However, Pat made a great point in the Around the Nation for this week.  Last time the teams met, the Falcons already had a game under their belt and NC didn't.  Either way, wish I could make it...

[79jaybird]

And that's one underlying factor.  North Central was playing a strong CUW team, without a game under the belt, and without a chance to play "Mr. Fix It"  after a game.  Most Coaches and Players like to get that first game out of the way, so they can fix what needs to be fixed, and fine tune what IS working.  CUW beat a good team, however not a "polished" team.  NOW, NC is polished and looking to improve by advancing to the 2nd round.  For CUW's sake, the Falcons better not take the attitude of "Hey we beat them already,  they are a pushover"  and go into Saturday's game, "What we did in week 2 means NOTHING, we need to play well today and fight hard."
May the best team win and hopefully injury free!

You have 2006's best team finishing 4th and the 2006 2nd best team finishing 5th?  What is your factual backbone for this prediction?
Between CUW and Lakeland, these 2 have been the two frontrunners the last few years, so why would they all of a sudden fall to the middle of the pack?
I agree that AU and BU will be better, but to make that jump in 1-2 years?

Actual 79, the 2nd best team in the conference was AU, after AU beat Lakeland, because LC beat GC, so AU was #2 and yes they can make that jump........

aufb05,

lakeland beat gc, and aurora beat lakeland so that makes au the 2nd best team in the conference, huh...

didn't au lose to GC? and didn't au get blown out by cuw. and didn't cuw need a late td to send the game  into OT at home vs, GC to give themselves a chance to win the game.

gc was the 2nd best team in this league. au was forunate that gc fumbled in the redzone several times to keep au in the game. au offense got shut out in that game vs gc.

You also had the benefit of not having to face lakeland's best player- Mac White who was basically there offense.

gc is ahead of au in scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense, total d, passing d and rush d in stats. i consider those to be the top catergories when measuring a team.

nothing supports au being better than gc other than the win over lakeland at the end of the season and gc lost to lakeland at the beginning of the season.

come back to reality please
