And the lack of respect just keeps on going!!  Lakeland learned that the IBC has no chance of winning a playoff game any time soon.  You guys want respect?  Better luck next year!!  You get none here!

Agreed Cardinal...........Agreed

Yeha, but I've also lost a lot of respect for the fans at Auggie... at least behind the endzones and closer to the sidelines. Yeah there were some late hits by lakeland, but there were also a lot of pass interferences by Auggie that were more than blatent. Also Auggie seemed to like hands to the head a lot on defense...

Does any of this make a difference to the way the teams played? no...

But it does show just a general lack of respect for student athletes from other schools... I wish that they would actually enforce the derogitory comments rule sometimes... It was that bad...

[dansand]

I'll have to disagree with some of my CCIW friends. While it's clear that there was a big difference in the level of play between the two teams, I give the Muskies a lot of credit for playing this one out. They easily could have packed it in down 21-0 with 2 minutes still left in the first quarter. Also, a lot of credit to Maiuri for playing on a bad leg. I made the comment several times during the game that Augie's tackling was pretty bad, but in retrospect some of that was due I'm sure, to Lakeland's runners finishing off their runs (as well as a noticeable drop in intensity by Augie after getting a big lead). Does respect for an opponent mean you think they or their conference is on the same level of play as yours? No, in this case it has more to do with guys playing hard and being willing to play hurt.

Uamusme, you can't expect fans (some of whom are friends and relatives of players) to not complain on cheap shots. The most blatant one I saw was when Aaron Kuzniar got planted well after the play was blown dead for illegal procedure. It wasn't called and Augie fans were, justifiably, upset.

All but seven of their points were scored on 2nd string Augie Defenders.....

So, that means nothing really... Other than it makes you feel better that a team from a " 2nd rate conference" can't score on your amazing defense...

Respect is different than what you think apparently. You don't earn respect by playing at all according to you... The only way to earn respect is to win... Now pardon my french, but that is bull****...

I respect anyone who is wiilling to put their body on the line just to try and boost a team.

Maiuri, man you're amazing... I wonder how the game would have turned out if you hadn't have BROKEN your leg... We'll neve know, but you have more balls than any other player I have ever seen in D3

Oh no... I have no problem with that if it's the play like you're talking about were Van de Loo laid the guy out after the play was over... thats fine. Be angry, yell all you want.

But it's more being up by like 30 points and yelling things about someones parent or girlfriend, or you know whatever... that just shows a complete lack of class that I wasnt expecting from Auggie.

[vikes35]

uamusme,

Ok I know who those guys are and if you want to base your perception of our fans off of that than you need to take a second look. If you would have sat in our seats and sat with our FANS you would know that we respect and love good football, and we cheer for our VIkings til the end. Please do not rip on our fans if they are being obscene, because those are not our real fans.

Also at Augie the only way our football team gets respect from the faithful is by winning. We have 4 Nat'l titles and 20 CCIW championships, winning is expected. We have had the same problem of people leaving their 1st string in against our 2nd string, and I agree with AUGIE2000, those points mean nothing to us. In our conference we are a powerhouse and it is expected for us to do well. That is how our team gets its respect, by doing what the program has done for the past 30 years.

[augievike]

Talk about classless how about your defencive linemen telling our offensive line that they were gonna try to blow out their knees so their season would be over too.  That is just wrong when a player threatens physical injury like that.  To me players that like number 99 i believe was the worst at the trash talking should never be allowed to play the game.

[GeTiTBoI]

I'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS BS TALK ABOUT HOW OUR IBFC IS NO GOOD BUT THAT WASN'T OUR BEST TEAM OUT THERE SAT CUW IS THE BEST TEAM IN THE IBFC LAKELAND BEAT US OFF 2 MISTAKES THEY SCORED ***1**** OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN AND COULDN'T SCORE A TD WHEN THEY GOT THE BALL AT THE 10 BECAUSE THEY BEAT US ONE TIME OUT OF THE LAST 100 EVERYBODY JUMPING ON THEIR FREAKING BANDWAGON RIDING THEM LIKE THEIR JUST THAT MUCH BETTER THAN US WE LOST 4 STARTERS COMBINED THIS YEAR THAT MEANS 18 RETURNING STARTERS AND A COUPLE GOOD FRESHMAN THAT DIDN'T REALLY PLAY THIS YEAR..WE'LL SEE WHO ALL THIS TALK WILL BE ABOUT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER MATCH UP WITH AUGGIE AND REAL FOOTBALL FANS KNOW IT

[Pat Coleman]

I am sure there is no need to shout.

[baseman201]

uhm GeTiTBoy,


CUW would have gotten the crap kicked out of them too.  Wouldn't have mattered who represented the IBFC.

Maybe next year you say??  CUW may win the IBFC next year sure, but win a playoff game?  Come on now, don't think so.

18 returning starters that didn't play?  How does that make any sense?

[GeTiTBoI]

I said 18 returning starters.......I'll break it up for and a few good freshmen that didn't play. I was recurited HEAVILY by Auggie so I know what they are about we have guys that can play on alot of the top teams in D-III we shall see baseman and I beg of you we need no one on our bandwagon

[GeTiTBoI]

Not to mention we were 8th in the nation in rushing with 9 1/2 games played we also had two QBs with no experience. We will see CUW will get that first IBFC play off win

[grover1728]

People are all talking about how augustana beat the crap out of Lakeland.    I think even augie fans should realize that there is no reason the game should have been 21-14 or even 21-21 halfway through the second.  There were at least 4 passes that were underthrown to receivers who were either wide open, or had their corners beat deep.  Lakeland had their back-up QB the whole first half, and then had Mauiri in for the 2nd half.  Anyone who has seen lakeland and Mauiri play knows that Mauiri gets lots of things done with his feet, which obviously he didn't have because of a broken leg.  Anyways, what I'm saying is that if Lakeland had their full team, i think it would have been closer.  I still think Augie would win, but it would have been a better game.

Getitboi -
I played against CUW this year and yeah, you guys were good.  We're you better than Lakeland???  Well they beat you.  You can't argue with that.  I would say you are both pretty evenly matched, but Lakeland had a more versitile QB with talents in both passing and running.  However, there is no way that you can say that CUW is far superior to Lakeland.

But they don't; they play at Concordia.
