FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[cudub]

Havent been on these boards for a while, but from a previous post I just saw, and from what i gather on the CUW website, Barnhill is no longer the O-coordinator?  I can GUARANTEE that means an improvement on that side of the ball.  The man had decent play calling ability, but was a horrendous motivator, and brought everyone but his top 1 or 2 players down.  Morale should go up on the offense.  If the talent is there, they could be dangerous.

I hope you have signed up for Kickoff 2009. Lets get all the NAC guys to subscribe, only $9.95 for hours of good reading that will stimulate good discussions on the NAC board.

Pat when will the Kickoff 2009 be ready?


RFMichigan;
Interesting topic but I think AU and CUW are where they want to be. CCIW would not be kind to either school especially football. Administators would have to come up with big bucks to compete (financial packages) for the same high quality athletes that choose the CCIW. They get some of these kids but would have to have a whole bunch more to compete at the same level of success they have in the NAC in all of the sports.

What about a school like North Park looking at the NAC or Midwest  to get into. What does everyone else think.

there was a posting on the CCIW board in the last 6 months showing the futility of North Park in most of the sports they compete in within the CCIW. It turned my nephew off entirely to the thought of attending NPU, even though he really liked Joe Davis who was recruting him. Davis is now at Wheaton. after that ramble i think NPU would be a much better fit for the NAC than CCIW. I know this will make some of their posters unhappy, but just one mans  opinion as to where they will be more competitive.

After my son went thru this and  was recruited by numerous NAC and CCIW schools including NP and let me say that the reason my son isn't in the CCIW is that most CCIW schools recruit enough players to have a 115 player roster. NAC teams have much less, giving you more of a chance to play. NP problem is that they are the CCIW doormat for a long time. Going to NP means getting the stuffing kicked out of you for 4 years...who wants that??

Welcome to the fray we call D3 Football. Always good to see a new member join the group. Don't hesitate to drift to all the other boards too. You don't have to have a team interest to join in other discussions on the other sites.

All I'm going to say my friends is watch out for Maranatha over the next few years. As we all know, the Crusaders numbers were down big time this last year. The will likely have twice as many players on the roster which is good news for all of us. Its always nice to see a d3 team hang in there when others are dropping the sport entirely.

MBBC only lost two players from last years young squad. I think with a solid class the Crusaders could be middle of the pack this year in the NAC. I'm not getting crazy and predicting an upset of AU or CUW this fall. I think the gold and blue faithfuls would be happy with a "middle of the pack" season.

...for now:)

[Pat Coleman]

That's good, because with only 25 players last year, it's important to not lose any.

Pat,

Only you could make humor out of that statistic!

Ive been around for a while just not writing --  one of these autumns I would love to make it to Alliance hopefully watching CUW play the Raiders --

[Pat Coleman]

Washington and Jefferson

[Rev. Kelly James Leary]

Thanks Pat

[sadernation]

Does the NAC have a date set for their official media day?

[WLCALUM83]

WLC gets Concordia-WI at home this year--Warriors played the Falcons tougher last year than previously. IMHO, (no offense to Mayville State), putting Luther-IA on the non-conference schedule will make that portion a bit tougher than last year.
