FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[disgracetofball]

Call the Waaaambulance Superstar. Oh Pat please block him.  Did you tell on people at school too?  No wonder you have to post online about a sport you know nothing about.  I believe that a lot of high school teams can beat teams in this conference.  The intensity is weak(and starting fights like lakeland and au is not intensity its being an ahole) and  there is nothing but excuses. The conference simply CANNOT win non-conference games so how can anyone even argue about who's better?

so anyway, back to football ... i was looking at the schedule that's left - if Concordia wins at Greenville tomorrow, and Lakeland beats Concordia, Illinois, and Aurora, they will clinch the playoff spot with one week left to play. If Aurora can win at Lakeland, and CUW wins out, we'll be looking at a 3-team tie again, just like lasst season. I don't exactly recall the tiebreaker, although i know it had something to do with the margins of victory the three teams involved in the tie had against each other. Here's hoping it doesn't come to that - somebody just win this thing and let's final get an IBC win in the playoffs!

Any thoughts on a first-round opponet for the IBC champ? Maybe Augie or North Central, or maybe Monmouth?

Mount Union.

Fishguy-

AU must win the rest of their games and beat LAKE by more than 11 to share C and represent. If LAKE wins the rest of their games they win or share C (depending on what CUW does) and represent. If CUW wins the rest of their games they share C with LAKE or AU.

Pat-
Mount Union for real?

Mt. Union was actually my guess as well. Whoever gets in from this conference is going to face the top team in the region. Basically the choice of Mt. Union, St. John's, or Whitewater.

Aufb-

I'm wondering how you got 11...if I remember correctly with this margin of victory tiebreaker like last year, Aurora would have to beat LC by 10 or more I think.

Concordia beat Aurora by 6, lost to LC by 3, so their number is +3, that won't change anymore unless they get beat by Greenville today.

LC beat Concordia by 3, so their number heading into next week is +3.

Aurora's of course would be -6 as of the loss to Concordia. If they beat Lakeland by 9 there's a tie between Concordia and Aurora at +3 (LC would be at -6.)

If Aurora beats LC by 9, they would be in another tie at +3 with Concordia, and I'm not sure what the tiebreaker is after that, but if it reverts back to head-to-head, AU would then get the nod, so AU's magic number COULD be 9. Not sure though.

But I could be and often am wrong so if anyone else wants to confirm either one.

It's only 1 or 2 points, but if I'm Aurora, I'd rather see 9/10 than 11.

(Last year's was much more different, Aurora had a +17 heading into the LC game last year, Concordia had a +1 after beating LC by 18 and losing to AU by 17, and LC had -18 heading into the Aurora game, so LC needed to beat AU by 20 points, of course only won by one, thus giving AU the nod at +16.)

Either way, that's a lot of numbers, and my head hurts now.

Halftime of the Lakeland - CURF game ...

48-0 Lakeland

However there were 3 Lakeland turnovers in the first quarter, 2 fumbles on their first 2 drives.

Just got back from the Greenville/ Concordia Wisconsin game, it was a hard fought, close game with Concordia winning by a score of 19 to 14.

BU 49 MAC 22..they talked more **** than ne one while they were getting rammed without ne lube...sorry for the gross details but this team is the least classiest team in history.. i feel bad for the players on the team who are actually nice guys like 22...that is my first and last post in history of this website

"let's final get an IBC win in the playoffs!"

That was a quote from fishguy, Uhm, I hate to tell you but if Lakeland, or CUW plays St. Johns, Mt. Union, or Whitewater, the score could be as ugly as the Lakeland Vs. CURF score today.  I mean, the best team in our conference got beat by Whitewater 73-12 for goodness sakes. 

I don't think the IBFC will have a team win a playoff game for awhile to come, the talent just isn't there like the better D-III schools

I dont know how many times I have to repeat this, but I will again, whoever makes it to the playoffs WILL get beat by a margin of 30-40 points, that simple.

And congratulations to BU, awesome win.

[fishguy]

baseman, i won't argue with you, all i'm saying is I would just love to see it finally happen. my guess is, there is a good chance the IBC will go winless in the playoffs, and perhaps the new league they are entering will have some success. the press release on the Lakeland website says if they beat Aurora next Saturday, they clinch the playoff berth. a Lakeland-Mt. Union matchup would be interesting because that is the Lakeland coach's alma mater - might be about the only interesting thing about that game. would we see another Lakeland-Whitewater game, or would the NCAA not do that because they already played this season?

Big-uns-
AU's number is nine I don't know where I got 11.


Congrats to BEN for a well deserved W and to GRN for coming this far.


Baseman-
30-40 points? Not in your lifetime. The IBFC has come a long way, ask Wooster. This year will be the same. Mount Union will have to play football to win.

Well, I hope I can trust the score report because as usual, no report on this game anywhere else. Since the poster is a player, I would hope he knew what the score was.

Fishguy, they might avoid matching them back up but they are not required to try. They are only supposed to avoid rematching teams who played a conference game against each other.

 D3 scoreboard: BU-49         Mac-22.
   On my post of 10/19  i called for the "Up-set_Special" BU over Mac. 
  Give the coaching staff and players all the credit for this impressive win. Just goes to show what hard work will do for you.
   This is a back breaking loss for Mac. They`ve got one of the best RB`s in the conference plus a very good QB, but as i`ve said before it all starts up front.  Maybe Mac is looking ahead to playing in the SLAC where they think past "glories" will be re-lived.  Time will tell.

"30-40 points? Not in your lifetime. The IBFC has come a long way, ask Wooster. This year will be the same. Mount Union will have to play football to win."

WHAAAAAT, you actually think Lakeland could hang with Mt. Union??  I honestly want an answer to that.  After getting beat by 60 to a team Mt. Union could probably beat.  (Even though Mt. Union did just lose on Saturday).  Come on now, I love the IBFC and watching the teams play, but you gotta be realistic.  Sure, last year Aurora gave Wooster a great game, but Wooster was nothing compared to Mt. Union.  Last year Wooster had some blowouts, but they had alot of close games as well.  Mt. Union would just make Lakeland look silly if they played, just like Whitewater did.   But hey, I am not saying it's not possible for Lakeland to beat a Mt. Union, in fact, that would be an upset for the record books, but I just don't see it happening considering the track record of Mt. Union.....or St. John's, Whitewater, or whoever else they play.

Yeah, it's possible with the new league there would be some contenders for a playoff win, I really never thought about that, but we will have to wait and see when the league forms, and who the teams are.  Would the NCAA not matchup Lakeland and Whitewater again because it would be a blowout, or because they have already played??

Ok fine, you don't like 30-40 point spread for the playoffs, I will change it to make you happy...........they get beat by 25-35, there, that sounds good.
