Catch22:
    "when coach Gay retired"..................There were bigger issues that
       expedited  his retirement. IMO.
  MacMurray went down hill, after 2002,  because they never had an "O"
   line worth a hoot. 
   If stats were available "yards per"  would back that up. But, due to the
   lack of commitment by one of the many SID`s ( Girls Softball coach in this case) that information is no where to be found. 
   As you stated," MacMuray is going down hill." 
  .

Gomer, Mac did not have a thousand yard rusher in 2002 when they went 10-0 during the regular season.

  You are correct. Steve Ballinger had 821 yds. The most that season by a Mac RB.
  Nothing like an un-defeated season!  The guys that got the RING can be
  proud of their accomplishment.
   

[catch22]

I agree totally.  Football is a the ultimate team sport, one guy can never do it by himself in football, maybe basketball, maybe soccer, maybe baseball, but never in football, it takes an entire team, pulling in the same direction.

Pre-Season Div-3 Top 25 poll.
   Con, Wis, came in 43rd. They are listed in teams that also got votes.
    Con, Wis,  has been on a roll of late and it looks like this season will be
    no different.
   With their programs being in good shape, recruiting good athletes
    is made easier.
    Can`t wait for the crowd at Lakeland,AKA...The Baby Cheese Heads, to
    come alive when they find out they didn`t even get (1) vote.
    Lakeland is good for at least one ( and more for sure) "W"  and that`s
   when they beat the snot out of Mac.

Fartcus-

Too bad NCAA 08 smells more then Cougswillwin. 

The only good sports game EA makes is FIFA.....and maybe Tiger Woods, but even that was questionable this past year.

September 1st, first game for the Cougars.  Big things happening this year.

[Cougswillwin]

Yeah Fartcus,

He's right.

Gomer, reddevil and catch:

Thanks for your replies/opinions regarding the Eureka program.  Indeed, it has a rich tradition as a college.  For the sake of the college and d3 football, I'd like to see them attain a next level for the program.  However, as you point out, being such a small college, it will probably always be a stepping stone for young coaches in their careers to gain some good experience.  Unless, of course, someone comes in who just wants to spend their entire career at a small college, small town.  On the other hand, the latter isn't all that bad in one sense because there is something to be said for making a difference in young people's lives even at a small college.  There are some more important things in life in that regard that doesn't always have to be done "at the big time" level.

[Fartcus Smellwood]

Man, you guys better stop calling me Fartcus or I am telling.
Baseman....you basically broke a man-law by being an (ex) football player and saying you even like anything about soccer....tsk tsk. FIFA!!! Just ridiculous. NCAA is a good game, you just suck. 
Cougswillwin....we are not friends anymore...I just drew the line.

15 MORE DAYS TILL COUGAR CAMP
BOOM!!!

[catch22]

Wow!  It is July 27th, How many days before camp or before players report and MacMurray College is still looking for coaches?  Good luck! They should just cancel the season, redshirt everyone and wait for the SLIAC season.  So actually how many players are on the team? LOL

As true as that may be, that is harsh

[drucker]

Pete give them a break. Its going to be a tough year for them. But giving up the season is just a cowards way out. Im sure you didnt want to give up last year when you found out that the coaching staff got fired. So im sure the current players are not going to give up.

And I believe that there is around 75 players that are reporting to camp.

[formerd3db]

Unfortunately, sometimes that happens.  Many of the d3 schools have had coaches added late in July, and even some leaving for which reasons vary as the seasons.  Indeed, that makes it a very tough challenge, but not impossible even thought the results might not be what is expected nor wanted.  Some people might assert that MacMurray is still a fault in not securing the coaching staff even at this late date since they've had ample opportunity since the late winter/early spring this year when people left, were fired or whatever.  Yet at least they are making an effort to put a staff in place for the student-athletes and at least there will be a team, which in reality is better than nothing.  Hopefully, the administration and the coaches will work together and strive to improve the situation there for the good of everyone.  I wish them the best.
