Your right BU was in it a lot more than AU wanted them to be. Even Nobody was right AU's running game is MIA. Aside from all that I love that stadium.

Ok, LC vs. Mac.

LC didn't wake up from the homecomming hangovers until the 3rd quarter. They really need to get their act together before CUW next weekend if they expect to have a shot to win conference

Mac has always been dirty, even back 4 years ago when I got to this conference. Late hits, punters taking dives (I must say the first punt after the roughing the kicker penalty should be nominated for an oscar it was so funny). Yes there were some penalties, like a combined 28ish for more than 250 yards, i don' have the exact stats in front of me now, just estimates.

Yes Lakeland has in the last 3 years since Z's takeover increased in penalties. Most of which are NOT personal fouls. Most are pass interference, while there are some personal fouls, they are usually the just missed the tip of the ball and nicked the punter, or an occasional late hit, but everyone does those. All of those penalties come from having an aggressive defense.

However Lakeland does not beg and argue with a ref for a penalty, like in the case of #9 and #57 from Mac. It seemed that that was all they could do to try and swing some momentum their way, do I blame them, not so much, because they were a little desperate to win against what has become a force here in the IBFC. They are were Mac was and wants to get to again. Mac just needs to cut the crap and out play teams, not out talk them.

Mr. Ypsi

Sorry to bring the NFL into this, but the topic of penalties makes it irresistible.

In today's Lions-Ravens game, Baltimore outgained Detroit by well-over 100 yards, yet was decisively beaten (I believe the final was 35-17).  The Ravens had only one more turnover than the Lions, so that wasn't it.  But the all-time NFL record for penalties in a game is 22; the Ravens had 21 by early in the 4th (they somehow avoided picking up the record)!  They also had two players ejected (going to be an expensive game for a lot of Ravens once the league office chimes in)!

If the refs are doing their job, dirty play (quite a few of the penalties were personal fouls of one sort or another) will be its own punishment.

I have only seen the game vs BU but its different seeing AU having to rely on the pass to win the game.  I wonder what happened that they are no longer the same run the ball down your throat AU that everyone is used to.  There o-line didnt seem to be the same type of players as the years before, different attitudes at least.  But luckily for them right now they do have a QB that can win them games and good receivers to go with him.

What clown are you? Have you been to a Mac game or do you just run your mouth. It was an outstanding game and a lot closer than the score suggests. There was no reason for the Muskies to become arrogant after the game. It just shows that they just can't win gracefully. Next week count the personal fouls, there will be more on Lakeland than the points they score against CUW.

I happened to catch the game - Mac is the dirtiest team in this league, and has been for years. Everyone in the IBC knows that. Their players start running their mouth the moment they walk off the bus, and one of their linebackers ran his mouth the whole game. They got flagged for unsportsman-like when a Mac player pickedup up a muffed extra point and was show boating as he ran into the end zone (which was called back because of another Mac penalty!) Mac players took cheap shots after nearly every tackle! It's too bad that Mac's program has taken such a slide backwards - their fans should demand that their players carry themselves with more class, which would begin by dumping their current head coach, who is a real clown. Fans sitting in the stands could hear him yelling "Bullsh**" at the Lakeland bench from across the field. It will be a joy to be a league without this program.

I guess you were on Lakeland side of the field and with the wind blowing in your face you couldn't see the entire game. I will agree there are afew who run their mouths and that will happen on every team. I guess 57 took a dive when they blocked the punt in the end zone. Real nice acting job. I am talking about the crap after the game when the Muskies had to run there mouth and not be satisfied with a win. Then to show how big they are to start a fight  was real good. I commend the coaches for ther work. As for dumping their coach, I went to the Tri State game and am glad my son plays for who he does and not Fry. I hate getting into these war on words because I love to go and support those who play. I have friends whose kids play at other IBC schools and love to see them play. I will support them also. I think the war of words should stop and just keep supporting the players.

FBFan05-

I'm not sure what happen to the AU running game. Paro doesn't start (he's not even on the 2 deep chart). The starting TB (36) is also the backup FB. He seems to lack the 1st gear to get him to the line to follow his blocks. The No. 1 FB is a big kid with some speed but he rarely if ever gets a hand-off (last years FB started TB mid-season and was factor that almost beat Wooster in the PO). I noticed AUs QB limping on Saturday. Lakeland will be keying on him the whole game if AU does't establish a running game. The new Coach has a couple of safe weeks ahead of him before Lake to mix it up. It will be interesting.

On the other hand CUW has a similiar problem no passing game. It was good to see them working on it against CUR. Could be to little to late.

Just so we all understand things here, the post-game fight started when a Mac player punched a LC player in the chest. So please don't come on here and make Lakeland out to be the bad guy. I don't want to fight on here either, but I'm not going to let someone bad mouth Lakeland kids when they don't deserve it. Their new coach has done wonders in terms of their players being respectful off the field and playing aggressive, fair football on the field. I wouldn't ask you not to support Mac's players, but I would ask you to put some pressure on that coach to clean up his act. It makes the whole league look bad.

mac07

And were you standing in the middle of the field?? It started with a lakeland player calling each player he passed a derogatory name. I don't think that is cleaned up. I will agree it came in retaliation and shouldn't happen but don't lay all the blame on MAC.

fishguy

There were plenty of derogatory names thrown around that day from both sides. But no one from Lakeland threw a punch in response or tried to take people out on the field after the play. Mac's reputation might be the result of a few players making bad decisions, but no one will argue that right now the program has a really negative reputation. That's my last post on it - sorry to keeping this going. You're welcome to the final word if you wish.

Big_Uns

Both teams probably could've handled each other a little better and turned the other cheek. No matter what the other team is doing it's not a smart idea to retaliate for anything.

Anyway, that was two days ago. How about we look ahead to this week. I think every fan of the IBFC should be in Mequon on Saturday. Just doesn't get any better than that. I can't wait.

What are everyone else's thoughts on that game and the others going on this weekend?

footballfan05

not only should they have turned the other cheek, everyone who has ever played football knows that its the second person that gets caught everytime, no one notices the first act they always see the second though.

IBFC Games for 10/15- ::)

AU over CUR - No surprises here, but it gives AU another chance to figure out what happen to their running game and another week for their injuries to mend.

Greenville over MAC - Greenville has come to play this year, their D has been the most impressive. Not sure what has happen to MAC. They could very well finish in the bottom four, a L saturday may clinch that postion standing. 

BEN over Eureka - Cooper gets his first win as a head coach.

LAKE over CUW - Lake comes to play with a healthy D. Their O provides a good ground and passing game. LAKE is hungry! CUW is still stuck on a one-demensional running game. This won't be last week - no time to practice an air attack against a weak D. For LAKE it will be 2 down 1 to go.

mac07: You said in part," i`m glad my son plays for who he does and not coach Fry."
  I was wondering if you would care to expound on that a little?
