Hats off to the AU Spartan Football Team for volunteering their time this afternoon to pack (Feed-My Starving-Children style) over 45,000 meals to be sent to Haiti thru New Life for Haiti. The event was held at the newly established 1833 Leadership Academy in Batavia. Special thanks to the Chaney and Mickle (and those I'm unaware of) families for planning the event. As impressive as the Spartans have been on the field the last few years, they're even more impressive off the field as Coach Beebe and the rest of his staff invest time, energy, football intelligence, and most importantly, the Salvation message of our Lord Jesus Christ! It was thrilling to be part of a special afternoon. Bravo!

Side note... looking forward to watching newcomers (and cousins) Liam Mickle (QB) and JP Chaney (DE) represent AU in the Fall of 2023!

They are recruiting the right guys at AU!

Excited to see what this class turns out to be! A lot of talented kids coming in. Program is in great shape. Here's an article featuring Chris Toth as a top 5 oline prospect in the upcoming XFL rookie draft: https://xflnewshub.com/xfl-news/xfl-2023-rookie-draft-preview-ol/

Camp is revving up. Do we think Aurora is gonna keep the crown, or is there a team ready to give them a run? I feel like St. Norbert has the groundwork to put up a fight, maybe Benedictine as well. I believe Rockford's QB is back this season, could they bounce back after last season? Only a couple weeks til kickoff!

Comes down to QB play at AU this year. Pretty much everyone else is returning.

Surprised they were ranked so low in the pre-season polls after last year and what they have coming back.

Preseason poll is out for football. No surprise that Aurora is the favorite here.

Back to back years Rockford gets a 1st place vote, too. St. Norbert over Benedictine is interesting.

Any news on who's gonna get the starting job at Q?

That has to be an insult at this point.

It's either that / Aurora not being able to vote for themselves and voting for Rockford instead of boosting BU, St. Norbert, Lakeland, etc. / Benedictine being the rival they are refusing to vote for the clear favorite AU. Either way, I would love to know the behind the scenes of that Rockford 1st place vote haha

[Second Wind]

Or could it be Rockford voting for themselves? I think they're allowed to do that these days!
