The turn around begins.  CURF over Rose H.  It might be close, but a win non the less.  GO COUGARS!  8)

 Some early final scores do not look good for teams in the IBC.   Enought said at this time.

50/50 Gomer-

lake tanked 73-12
Greenville tanked 58-7

Con(Wisc) nice win 40-13
Mac no problem 41-27

Just curious to hear from maddog what he saw today.  I am not being negative (and its a shame that I should have to say that), just want to hear what happened.  I was thinking Lakeland had a chance.  Sounds like your son played reasonably well considering the type of game it was..

"We've done that to so many people over the last two years, and this was the first time it ever happened to us," Zebrowski said. "Next week's the most important week, seeing if they're going to play or if we're going to start questioning ourselves."

So I guess Benedictine is up on the chopping block for another 70 spot?

Saints Fan-

Final -  Ben zip, C. Redmens 52

If next week is Lake's "most important" week than they're not a contender. S... happens, they played two top teams they should take what they learned (if anything) and get on with the rest of the rseason.

A lot of ankle and knee injuries on Bens turf tonight.

Way to go Highlanders.........you bounced back from a blowout against Wooster and got a big victory over Bob Frey and the Tri-State Thunder, keep up the good work coaches.

[Gomer Pyle]

 Like i said early in the week the IBC was going to have it`s hands full. Granted they played some really good teams and i , for one, didn`t think the out come would be pretty but to see that lakeland
 got beat  73-12 by UW-WW, which by the way
 was the most lop sided loss,score wise, In all of Div III play yesterday..Mount Union was next
  beating John Carroll  70-0.
 Like the Lakeland Coach said in part," we`ve done this to some now we`ve had it done to us."
 Give Lakeland credit as they chose to play "up"
  which i think gives their program added exposure  in D-3. There is no moral victory here,
  they lost to a superior team and now they can move on in their quest for an IBFC championship.
  Score wish the "average" score around the IBC was  43-10.  As all but (2) teams lost that doesn`t speak well for the IBC. IMO.
 ConCordia,Wis and Mac  did what was expected and both won.  They could  challenge in the IBC
  but it`s still early in the season.
  BU will be there at the end but unfortunately at the bottom of the conference. same for Concordia,Ill.
  Greenville should "up-set" somebody but still have an average year.
   Eureka always seems to scare people or at least play them close so who knows  maybe like Greenville  they to will pull an up-set.  That`s a big maybe.
 Aurora: I`ll call then this years 'dark-horse."
 By that i mean everybody better keep them in sight at all times. They could take it all. Time will tell

 Like i said it`still early in the season and leaque play is set to start so now is when it counts. All the
  losses to non-conference foes mean nothing. Except to possibly help guage where you are as a team.  Like John Paul Jones said," dam(n) the losses, full speed ahead."
As usual my comments are not ment to be mean spirited in any way just  some thoughts about the IBC.

How bad is Benedictine? Are they worse than they were last year?

I think it's time that they fold their program. They have gotten blown out 3 weeks in a row.

And yes, losing to North Central by 17 is still a blowout when your Offense scores 2 TD's on NCC's 2nd/3rd team. I'm just surprised NCC didn't run it up more.

BU is terrible.

[Les Paul]

Good win Mac, let's keep it rolling into the conference.

[aufb05]

D3Somebody-

I don't know if you watched BU play Saturday but I saw a lot of positives despite the score. 1st - BU roster is made of  mainly Fresh/Soph players. 2nd they have a new coaching staff which was assembled late in the year.  Give it a couple years and this team won't be one dimensional. Time and experience matures players. Be there in two years and I think you'll change your mind about dumping the program. 

[SaintsFAN]

aufb05,

I agree.  If I were coaching Lakeland, I'd probably just throw out that tape and just move on.  They haven't lost a conference game, and thats their ticket to the playoffs. 

gomer,

Actually Mt. Union's score was more lopsided because they outscored JCU by 70 whereas Whitewater outscored Lakeland by 61....just some of that college level math I was able to pick up during my time in school

D3somebody,

Granted, BU has been blown out this year but you are kicking them while they are down.  Your thoughts that they should "fold" their program is one of the most assinine statements I've ever read on this site...and this is how you choose to introduce yourself to post patterns?  Like aufb05 said, they are a young team.  No team of freshman and sophomores will be talented enough to overcome all the adversity that happens during a game....

[scotty]

SaintsFan, what no hug...youve won me over...

[Gomer Pyle]

SaintsFan....you look at it that way and you are correct!  I should have said," scored against."  That`s what i was getting at but my old education much have failed me.
  Re-phrase, by giving up 73 points LC was on the receiving end of the highest scoring football game played this past week-end ( 9/17/05) in D-III.
  I`m not re-posting for any purpose other than
  re-clarification.
