FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[footballisfun]

Larry, it is Spuhler.  If you want to know what I think about you come ask (not like you will because you dont care).  and ouch bro about the weight room comment.  I know that I am not a good Athlete and that I have to work for what I get and yeah you are a better athlete than me and I respect that but what really upsets me is that you might have been so much better then what you where.  Not to say that you werent good but I am just saying that maybe you could have been a whole lot better.

First of all LARRY, Greg S. has more class than you ever will. He actually tried in practice where as you sat out with your thumb up your butt next to Smith holding onto him like he was your security blanket. You always wanted to sit out at practice and run your mouth, but hey what else is new with Larry P. I just want to know how you are graduating from Mac when you have the worst english and spelling in the world. I fear for the employer when they hire you. You have to acutally sound smart when talking. I also would like to know larry how the aztec bowl is going....Oh wait you didnt get invited. Which means you are an average d3 linebacker. Hey larry how is the pot smoking going, cause you have never stopped since you have been here, during the season is larrys only time he can smoke it to erase his memories of gettting run over by every team he faced.

As for mac 5 and 7 sorry i thought you were some other cry baby on the team. How can you say that Frey did any good here. He lowered standards to get scum into that college and was a bully to his players.

You keep saying that he was a bully to his players, any particular instances?  The guy was there the entire four years I was at Mac, two as DC and two as HC.  Never once did I ever consider him a bully.  All he wanted was the best out of his guys and for them to be mentally/physically tough, therefore he was hard on his guys.  From the way you come on here and run your mouth, I serioulsy doubt you were either..

About the standards, I would bet that there are a lot of teams there that have questionable guys show up in the fall.  By the way, were you even at MacMurray when he was there?

It starts to get old when you come on here to read something and there are two knew pages of posts and it consists of the same garbage. I think every conference has those fans that are not humble winners...some people have to boast to make themselves feel better.

Langston, best of luck to you after graduation...if you ever read again, what are your plans??? Are you going to try to play football anywhere?

everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I just want to thank cuw for all of the memories.  Thanks to the seniors and underclassmen at concordia.  We have a lot of work to do in the off-season and I know that it will get done.  Thank the IFBC for allowing me the opportunity to showcase my ability on the field.  Good luck to everyone next year.

It was a pleasure watching you play twice against NCC. +karma and goof luck.

*supposed rumor running around CUC if anyone cares....D-coordinator quit.

this, if true has been a problem CUC has had, if this team was able to keep coaches and players, they would be up there with lakeland and CUW and I am pretty confident in saying that. When a team goes through 3 head coaches in the past 4 years, it doesn't help a program or the players having to learn something new every year and adjust to new ways. Thank God for Coach Pries though, he is a great coach and a great man and will keep his players heads up if this is true. Good luck to all you CUC players in your off season, I know you are working hard.

[baseman201]

Maybe not up there with Lakeland or CUW if coaches would stay, but pretty close I do agree.

It's the same thing every year at CUC.

[Cougswillwin]

Be sure your info is valid before you post on here...You know what I'm talking about.

[usee]

Keep in mind it takes time to produce a solid conference from top to bottom. The CCIW has been around a long time and every school has committed resources to being competitive. The IBC has had some good teams off and on over the years but as a whole not every school has committed the necessary resources to compete at a higher level. It doesn't happen season to season. You see it over time. I don't see that changing in the near future but there are some schools with great coaches and facilities in the IBC. You are headed in the right direction but there is a long gap to make up.

[79jaybird]

Usee makes a good point.  Looking at the CCIW from 1980-2003  the CCIW was dominated by 4 of the 8 schools (Augie, Wheaton, IWU, Millikin)  the other 4 were no match for these 4 powerhouses.  Only recently have the other 4 schools joined the party with Carthage in 2004 and North Central this year.  The point here is that it takes committment, coaching, good recruiting classes, and a positive attitude to help build a program into contention.
Concordia seemed to start to turn the corner this year under Pries.  I hope that rumor about the coach leaving is not true, because you don't want any distractions.

[formerd3db]

I would have to agree with your comment about the rumor concerning the CUC coach who might be leaving.  That is always tough when coaching staffs change frequently, but it is the nature of the DIII business.  It appears from his bio that he has moved around quite a bit already.  The dilemma is constantly there for these young coaches who have to make a choice - do you want to stay at one place for your career with all the tradition that involves and move up the ladder there, or do you want to do the latter going from school to school until you obtain a possible head coach position, if that is your goal?  Obviously, it is much easier in either situation for the young single coaches (and/or perhaps those with wives, but no children yet) who may have no additional "attachments" and/or responsibilities before starting ones family.  On the other hand, the DIII salary structure is a factor and difficult for them, although, again, not as bad perhaps for a young, single, assistant coach starting out.

At any rate, no doubt people are curious as to what the CUC coache's aspirations are? (going back to his home region/roots, or moving up the ladder elsewhere).  It will be interesting to see what happens, although sounds like Pries has put a good staff in place and hopefully he (and CUC) can keep them together.  You "insiders" on this board please keep us "outsiders" posted.
