d3ftball1-

To old to play, to old coach, never to old to watch. For more years than I care to mention I did a little of each. Best football ever (D3). Thanks for asking.

Thanks for your response. I was just wondering because you seem to have alot of knowledge about all the teams. I especially like your comments about Greenville. I'm alittle partial to the Panthers!  Your right d3 football is awesome.

D3ftball-

The IBC is pretty typical, at least it has been in the last several years. Green was a pleasant surprise this season. I don't follow your players or coaches that much, but there was a hugh change in the D. You tell me. New Players? Coaching schemes? Whatever it was/is, it is good to see that football is alive and well in So. IL.

No harm intended but I thought your No. 2 QB does a  better job than the starter. The O seems to respond better to him. Anyway best wishes for the remainder of the season.

aufb - Greenville has a new D-Coordinator this year, (was promoted from a regular assistant last year) other than that and the DB coach, the rest of the coaching staff is new this year.  Give them a little bit more time and their recruits and greenville should continue to develop a strong program.

Like gvfan said the new d coordinator and the d coach are the only two coachs from last season.  The d coach was offense last year and has moved to defense where he is doing a great job.  Player wise a year experience form last years recruits really helps and I don't think they lost alot of seniors. Im not a past player or past coach so that is just my opinion and its not based on any great "football knowledge".  I agree with gvfan I think with the recruits and present players Greenville will develope a strong program.
Someone said something about the ibc not being a conference and they listed some teams that were going into another conference. They didn't mention Greenville. Does anyone know what conference they will be in?

  (1) BU vs Eureka: 2 teams going no where but will play as if they were. This will be a good game to watch as

 (1) Bu vs Eureka: 2 teams going no where but will play like they are. This will be a good game for the fans.
   Bu gets it`s first win of the season. They`ve been getting better  and now the hard work pays off.
(2) Over the past few years Greenville has matched up with Mac pretty well. This season Greenville has 1 more conference win than Mac
and come saturday afternoon that could be 2.
  As Mac is not in the running for anything they need to get a "W" this saturday. They`ve got a good QB. A solid RB but no "O" line. That being said
  i`m going with, it`s a "pick-um" game.
(3) Aurora vs Con,Ill:  This will be a blow out. You hate to see Con,Ill get thumped every saturday but if you don`t have the horses that`s what happens.
  (4) Lakeland vs Concordia,W: Winner of this game  is in the drivers seat as far as the conference championship goes. Nothing earth shattering there.
  As this is a "home" game for CW i`m going with
  CW to get the "W".
As usual come saturday afternoon we`ll all know for sure who got the "W" that counts.

Sat will be a great championship game. Goodluck to all IBFC teams this weekend.  Goooo Muskies bring home the CHEESE and TITLE.  Carthage and Whitewater should have prepared you for this special game you will face NO tougher opponent  then them. Focus, Focus.  You will HAVE to play MISTAKE FREE..

Is David Benton's spot on this week's d3football.com Team of the Week the first player in the IBFC to receive that honor?

[aufb05]

Big Uns-

Yes, but I'm sure you already knew that. So what's the point?

[Big_Uns]

Actually I didn't know the answer to that question. That's why I asked it.

Is David Benton's spot on this week's d3football.com Team of the Week the first player in the IBFC to receive that honor?

No............... WR #10 for MacMurray last year.  Week 4, 2004 season.
   He (#10) was also...... Conference Receiver of the Year (2004) for the IBFC. He graduated in the spring of 2005.
   May be others as well. Maybe.

I made a mistake in the above post . The correct answer is still............no............. #10 from Mac made the Div-3 Team of the week...2 times in 2004.
Week4 and week 11(games Nov12-13)
  I believe he is the only IBFC player to make it more than twice(2) since the IBFC was founded.

Big Uns-

Gomer is right, my apologies. Actually, I thought you meant this yr. - I guess I didn't get the point.
