FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

Marcus,

I don't think he had an undefeated team. If you look at the D3 list of schools and click on Lakeland it shows their records for the last 5-7 years. I think Hynes was  there just befor Zembrowski who was their for 4 years. They were fair, Ithink 1 winning season and 2 losing seasons. Don't hold me to that exactly. I am sure some of the fish people are more in tune with the exact info.

Godd point on the fact that Big Cat will help in recruiting. I wonder about the schools stance on the type of students they have to recruit. I think there goal is to develop a link to all the Luthern schools in the USA. I hears this from some you interviewed with Hynes for the head job 2 years ago and he was told that. Not a bad plan. I works for many successful Catholic Vollege programs. It can work there but will take time.

Oh, okay...I was under the impression that Jeff Hynes took the Muskies to an undefeated season...guess not. Were they conference champions once when Hynes was head coach there?

I think for the most part the recruiting process will always be a tricky thing if you are looking to gather all one category of people. I also think it would be a good idea to recruit MOSTLY Lutheran players but at the same time still look at others. The biggest deal I believe is to recruit players who want to succeed not only on the field but in the classroom as well. I think with Coach Pries as head coach, this will be a successful thing. Most of CUCs team right now is not of the Lutheran faith...believe it or not, I think there are just as much Catholics on the team but that is neither here nor there, in the end they will always be a team.

haha, check it out...more negative karma

real mature.

I have a question about this world football team we put togehter.


Who is it made up of? like what levels?

[Pat Coleman]

Team USA is made up of 2006 seniors from Division III, II and I schools.

arcus;

I really don't know if they won conference but I do not believe so as those years were Mac and Aurora as champions. Some of the Lakeland people will know for sure.

Checking last years roster they had 10 players from Luthern schools and 6 from Catholic High Schools. I agree with you on recruiting. They better focus on some athletes.

Whats the word at Aurora, CUW and Greenville? Does anyone have any info?

[Cougswillwin]

old 40-

Are you saying that athletes dont come from Lutheran/Catholic schools?

[drucker]

Ok thank you pat. I was wondering and now im thinking that since that team is made up of all levels. Would they not  be better than Mount Union? And if so how can people vote to say that MU would win the whole thing? Oh well

It seems that the new season is almost here and I cant wait to see Mac back in action along with the other teams.

Who do you all think is going to be on the 1st team conference and who is going to be the player of the year at each position?

[Pat Coleman]

I think people are thinking that Mount Union would be better prepared as a team, having played as a team for more than a couple of weeks.

This team was made up of nine from Division III, 10 from Division II and another 20 from various levels of Division I.

Guys:
    Lakeland College was un-defeated in conference play in 2005.
    They were  8-3 over-all and 7-0 in the IBFC.
   

[Gomer Pyle]

  To take the "un-defeated" a step further.
     MacMurray was undefeated in 2002 going 10-0 overall (7-0) in the IBFC
     losing in the play-offs.  In the final seconds!
    Con, Wis  went 10-0 over-all in 2006 (7-0) in the IBFC and lost it`s play-
   off game.   Lost to the team they had beaten earlier in the season.
    Looks like these two teams are the "only" ones to have that distinction
    in the last little while. Undefeated in regular season and conference play.
    Not only do they (both teams) get bragging rights but they also get the
    "ring" that has 10-0 on it. 
    One other note,MacMurray went back to back in the IBFC with 7-0 records. 2001-2002.  (2) rings .

   Karma -30?   I`m thinking sombody put a "curse" on your postings.

26 days gentleman, who's ready for camp?

[sotha sil]

CUW has recruited many players out of Snow College in Utah which is a JC...all of the players in my recollection from that school and/or area have been Mormon...many of the players from Texas and Florida are Baptist/southern Baptist. Many do not have a religious affiliation at all (not saying they don't believe in a divine being or what not)...

So, CUW, even as a religion based school, has a great diversity. It leads to a great academic/social experience. It also, of course, has led to some of the best teams the IBFC has seen in recent times

[NCC_alum62]

Many small private schools have a tradition in one denominational faith or another (Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist)  Some retain a connection to that religious heritage and other don't activly promote it. 

North Central, IWU, Syracuse, and Duke are are traditionally methodist schools.

The Concordia schools are Cathloic.

Augustana is Lutheran based...

But because these schools may have a heritage in these denominations doesn't mean the student body is predominantly of that background.  Although I live near a Lutheran Seminary and we usually have a group of former Augustana students there at the Seminary.  Many times there are different scholarships based on denominational affiliation.

i.e. I got a Methodist Elder grant to attend NCC because one of my parents is a UMC Elder.
