FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Gomer Pyle]

Congrats to Lakeland for being ranked 10th in the NCAA North Region ratings this week - always good to see an IBFC club get some additional recognition. d3fb.com speculation has LC playing at Wabash in the playoff opener - time will tell.

  Nice to see that LC got some props from in the NCAA N-R ratings.
  Just checked the D3 Top 25 and LC is no where in site. Not in the Top 25 or the "also rans".
  As  that site is voted on by a panel of 25 coaches, SID`s and media members is it possible they know something? 
   As far as "speculation" goes about LC playing Wabash which, by the way, is ranked 19th in the current D3 Top 25, i`d say they would have a very tough time of it. 
  I know were`re dealing with "speculation" here
  so lets wait till they announce who plays who then we can debate the merits of that  pairing.
   Not being a "Homer" my comments will be un-biased and fact related. 
   Every year the conference Champs have an opportunity to set a standard by which all others
   will be judged and that is ......win an NCAA play-off game. When the "pairings" are announed i think we`ll have a better idea about this year. IMO.

Everyone sorry about the delay the 3rd and 2nd teams will be posted on this site Sat 11-12 and the "all maddog team 1st team WILL BE POSTED BY WED 11-16, in addition the MADDOG PLAYER of the YEAR will also be posted AND WHY HE IS THE PLAYER OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I have narrowed that down to 3 players at this time from the list I came out with a week ago. (Stats, Leadership, Courage and GUTS). are what have determined this Athlete for this Award. To most this is probable a joke but to me I take pride in doing this, not because I have the time or money (because I don't have either) for the awards BUT FOR THE PLAYERS AND THERE EFFORT THRU THE SEASON, that and only that is why I am doing this. I you all want I will continue next year, but you decide fans, and PLAYERS. You will hear from me on Sat. "GO MUSKIES"

Ok, now on a lighter side of things, but a semi serious question too.

What should the new conference be called?

Illini-Badger-Hawkeye?

Illinois-Wisconsin-Iowa Athletic Conference?

Mostly Religious Schools Conference?

Plus, how do you think the adding of Maranatha Baptist, Wisconsin Lutheran and Rockford will change the dynamics of the football side of the new conference?

Your last question. The only team with a winning record is Rockford, 7-3.
  The other two, M-B and W-L are 5-13 combined.
   With W-L having (1) more game to play.
  I`m not sure who is (maybe) leaving the IBFC but at first glance it looks like.........Tit for tat. IMO.

I like the name "MRAC" I know one thing for sure. You all will enjoy playing on Wisconsin Lutherans field turf, it is like playing on a sponge. WLC will also enjoy not having to travel for 8 hours and get beat on by the tough Michigan teams. The new conference should help WLC with the recruiting aspect as they will recieve more local area press coverage instead of just Michigan news coverage. Look for this young program to be in the mix of things in a couple years.

The New Conference has a name.  It is not announced what it is yet, but one does exist.

Check the site for info on the playoff announcements on Sunday. 

Lakeland looks to draw a first round opponent that would be a winnable game.

Ok, speaking of the regional rankings..

Could someone explain how the Lakeland - Whitewater game counts as in region? Same with Concordia and Oshkosh? Is it because we have conferences in the same state?

[Mr. Ypsi]

Starting a couple of years ago, schools within 200 miles are in-region, even if they are otherwise different regions.
