Congrats to AU for their win.

I only got to see the 2nd half but was impressed by the AU QB and their "D". The playoof draw will probably be NCC. Good Luck and let's get the NAC a win.

LC had a few decent players but could not throw or run the ball. The program had them starting 5 Freshman. Wow.

A "Special Thanks" to all NAC Seniors this year. It was good watching some of you play. Have a Great productive life in the world and use your football experience to make all of you successful citizens and Good family men. A job well done by all the Seniors.

Well hello everyone. I figure now that my career at Lakeland is done it is appropriate to join these forums. I have sat back the last few years and often times laughed at posts and others time I would use them as motivation. As you can tell, I was #52 on the field and I played linebacker. I was also a captain this year and always tried to be a leader on our team. But something this year really upset me as a player. No it was not any of the things you said about us as a team, or us losing to CUC, or us facing anyone after CUC ripping on us. It was when someone took a shot at our leader, our head coach Kevin Doherty. Let me tell all of you he had all of our respect and he did yell but which coach doesn't yell at players? You go to Pop-Warner games and you hear people tearing down little kids. We are in College and yes occasionally a coach will get upset. But let me say that whoever said your son is a senior on the team and can't wait to be done, I had a very hard time figuring out who it may have been and really questioned the source. But once it was said a lot of you regular posters went and started ripping him and this staff to shreads. Overall that is what gets me. This forum is all hear say and based off of scores and nothing else. Believe me, the potential to have good conversations is here. But before comments are made, investigate and see what the team brings to the table. For example, this year when we played Maranatha it was close and we were losing until the fourth quarter. However, the only touchdown our Defense gave up was a one yard touchdown which was preceded by me snapping the ball over our punters head and them recovering on the one. So thats on me not our defense. But realize, that game our defense surrendered 96 total yards. Anyways, I guess as my way of being done I figured I would get on the soap box and talk a lil bit. I really look forward to talking with all of you in the near future!

Way to "man up"!  +1 and glad to have you!

 

Welcome to the boards!

LCLB52;

I only got to see the 2nd half today but you are a very good LB. The other guy #40 was also very good. Looks like your team will come back in the future with all the underclassmen you have starting on both sides of the ball. Glad to have you on board.

Your remarks about your head coach sounded very sincere. I don't think many people pay attention to that negative type of stuff, it's easy to point fingers and bad mouth especially when you are not close to the program or have a ax to grind. Those things are usually said by players who quit or disgrunted parents who don't get it. We usaually ignore and move on. Last year their were several people, my guess players who quit, who were on the BU coach. I would think these coaches know that what they are doing is the right thing to do. Pay no attention to the negative morons who come on here.

My son does not play for either team, AU or LC, but I wanted to see the 2 best teams in the league, only wish I was not late. Keep your head up and be proud of your college accomplishments. Good Luck with your life.

Let's hope that AU can get a win next week. I know it will be a very big hill to climb.

LCLB52,

When many of us former players see a coach on the sideline ranting and raving, we smile and maybe even laugh a little. Those are the coaches that we love the most. They show passion and enthusiasm which is what the game is about.

muzzman;

Way to go Blue.  Au Proved today
that they were the team to beat  in the Northern Athletics Conferance.  Hats off to Coach K for a great recruiting class, Coach Duncan, Coach Cutty, the rest of the staff for putting it all togehter, and the players for never quiting.  For some this is their last game for others this will define their seanon and career for others unfinished business and yet another chance. It doesn't matter that you win or loose you always have to put your uniform on......Represent it well, you are an ambassador for your University and your community.
