Looks like some one really screwed up. The other NAC schools have three or four home conference games. It was either the AD of the Head coach who left. Maybe next year it evens out at 7 home games. But Ouch that is a tough pill to take.


I would not yet conclude that BU's roster is loaded with Turds. Had they been beaten by Eureka in a blow out then maybe your conclusion is valid. Wait and see what they do in the next three games. The AU game, their 2nd conference game, will be the tale of the tape for them. I have heard that the BU Senior transfer QB is very good, even though he has not played in a game for a year or so. If they beat AU, IMHO they will not, then they are for real.

Congrats to AU and WLC on their wins this week. Looks like the Spartans are back in first place and on their way to a possible run. The new QB is great and makes this team a favorite to win the NAC. IWU may be in for a big surprize this week at AU.

WLC has certainly flexed it's muscle with the big win over their formet MIAA foe. Looks Like WLC and AU may fight it out for the top spot.

What happened to CUC. I read score in the trib and was surprized. Did something happen to their QB or RB? Anyone at the game and has info?

Two weeks till the race for the bid begins.

My daughter got to Stagg Field one minute into the game and Chicago had already scored. They then proceded to put up 35 points in the last 20 minutes of the half on their way to a 42 point first half  . CUC couldn't make up for UC big plays early including a 66 yard TD run, a 38 yard TD pass, a blocked punt for a TD, a 47 yard pass, and a  60 yard pass. Meanwhile, their offense moved the ball somewhat but had two interceptions - one in the red zone - and a sack on 4th down in the red zone, all in the first half.

Caught the BU game at NPU this Saturday and what a tough loss for the Eagles!  The Eagles had full control of that game and to lose with under 4 min to go is very aggravating! I don't know what happened from the first half to the second half with the Eagle defense? In the first half NPU's offense could not move the ball!  In the second half the NPU offense completely dominated the defensive front of the Eagles! The Offense from the Eagles is very good, NPU has a pretty good defense however the Eagles were still able to put up 20 points and over 400 yards of offense! The Eagles O is very young but already the strength of this team, this unit is going to get more confidence and better and better each week! Defensively they need to mature up front fast! I think this team will still be able to make a nice run in the conference and I definitely would not sleep on this team as they are far from TURDS! Aurora was only able to put up 7 points on the NPU D does that make everyone on their offense turds?? Luckily for a safety or who knows how that game ends up. No game for BU this week, I look foward to seeing how this team responds against Kalamazoo in two weeks at their home opener! Good luck to all teams this up coming weekend hopefully the conference has more success this week then last!

Hey d3fan1515,

A win is a win buddy. I don't care if a team puts up a field goal on an opponent and wins 3-0. AU struggled a bit their first game and still got that W. Came out week 2 and destroyed a Macmurray team that didn't deserve to be on the same field as them.

The Spartans will surprise a few folks this weekend. IWU were picked to tie for 3rd in the CCIW when they were co champs last year.

AU BLACK 'N BLUE!

Hey Slayer,

I knew that comment was coming! Ur right,  a win is a win, I was just making a connection to a pretty rediculous comment! The connection is AU and BU both played NPU to very close games! I understand AU pulled it out but it couldve easily went the other way! AU vs. BU will b a very good game this yr... In my opinion, I think that game will come down to the wire, we'll see in a couple weeks. I'm curious to see how AU does this week against IWU. Good luck to all teams this week!

Week 3 guesses.

Carthage@CUW- CUW will play great at home and their head coach used to coach at Carthage so it will be a very good game.  Carthage wins 28-27.

MBBC@Macalester- MBBC will play tough but loses on the road. Macalester wins 21-13.

Minnesota-Morris@WLC- WLC builds on last weeks big win. WLC runs over Morrirris 31-12.

St. Scholastica@CUC- I could not believe CUC lost last week. They come back big. CUC wins 54-18.

RC@Alama- Alma is down a bit from previous years but has a lot of bullets in their gun. Alma wins 28-13.

IWU@AU- Not many victories over the CCIW but this week is a big upset by the Spartans. AU wins a close one 21-20.

BU and LC have Byes this week.

Good Luck to all the Nac teams this week.
