FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

Big_Uns - with a new D coordinator and a new scheme (3-4) instead of 4-3 I'm sure it took some time to get adjusted, now that they have played some games together, they are starting to gel.

Gomer - I just talked to the Greenville SID...... as of 6:23 p.m. central time on Tuesday the 18th, the Greenville/MacMurray boxscore link is now working....http://www.greenville.edu/athletics/football/results/2005/06g1015.htm

gc_fan: Thanks for the link. looks like Greenville was way to much for Mac.  Plus they shut down the Mac running game.  Like i said," Mac has no "O" line." at least
  for run support. This is the last year for some of those "O" linemen so maybe next year the new guys will start a new era of protection. There`s always hope.

Games for the week-end of Oct 22nd.
   (1)  AU vs Eureka:  AU will take this game with out a doubt. Eureka is always scrappy but that will not over come talent.
  (2) Lakeland vs Con,Ill: Another drubbing in the works. Lakeland will pad their stats but gain no respect but that`s football.
  (3) Con,W vs Greenville: CW is coming off a tough loss to LC and GC beat up on Mac.  I really don`t think Greenville can beat CW but  strange things can happen so i like Greenville for the up-set.
(4) MacMurray vs BU: What happened to Mac?
   BU started like you would expect ( losing) but it looks like the hard work is starting to pay off.
   They could be "peeking" at the right time. Don`t forget that BU beat Mac in 2003, by the score of 15-13. I think that`s correct so why not again?
   In the "SPECIAL UP_SET" of the week, BU over Mac.
    As always saturday afternoon we`ll all know for sure who did what.

Pongo-

Even you have to admit that BEN has played a tough season to date. Given their other problems, small roster, new coaching staff, little fan support and you beating them up on the Boards - turning those kinds of distractions into a "W" (Eureka) shows there is a team left. MAC is going to find out that this Saturday. By the way we all know your a closet BEN fan, so why not show it. Kick ass this weekend my friend.

I'm starting to think that you are a former aurora coach now on the BU staff. I like how you lay out the "excuses" (problems, roster size, new staff, fan support)...and then say that there is team left.

What do u mean by "problems?" Is there something you see on the inside that we don't?

[Big_Uns]

Gc_fan,

Greenville must blitz the linebackers a lot on a 3-4 if they contained Mac to seven total rushing yards. As Gomer pointed out, Mac doesn't have much of an o-line, however. Is that going to prove to be a problem against Concordia this week or Lakeland in three weeks when they face huge o-lines that consistently put up 100 yards rushing against whoever they play?

D3Somebody-

I do not play for BEN, nor do I have a friend that plays for them.  I am just a D-III football fan who pays attention to the IBFC. 

And which side are you going with, Wisconsin being better for football or Chicago??  I didn't quite understand where you were going with the whole, "don't compare wisconsin to Chicago football" stuff.

Yeah, no surprises for games this week I agree.  AU will take it to Eureka, CUW will beat Greenville (but maybe not a blowout), Mac will beat BU (again maybe not a blowout), and Lakeland will absolutely hand it to CURF (this game will not be pretty, possibly 70 being put up).

everyone have a great day

Sooooooooo Pongo-

What exactly r u getting at? Do u support BEN or not? Will they "W" Saturday or not? Did they played a tough schedule so far or not? Does their small roster hurt them or not? (This one is multiple choice) You a. Tried out for the BEN team and didn't make it b. Tried out for a BEN student and didn't make it. c. Tried out for a BEN fan and didn't make it. d. All of the above. 

[TBaggins]

or  e. I am just a BEN student who has never been talented enough to actually play sports myself so I live vicariously through the BEN football players (and when they lose it makes my sad life even sadder) 

[TBaggins]

Predictions for this week: This will be remembered as upset week

1. Eureka vs. AU--this will be closer than most think, but AU pulls it off
2. Mac vs. BU--BU surprises Mac
3. Greenville vs. CUW--upset of the week, Greenville wins
4. Lakeland vs. CURF--well, I just don't see an upset happening here, Lakeland wins

I thought it was pretty clear that I was saying the Chicago football was better...but if it wasn't clear, that's what I am stating, as a fact. I hope I didn't misunderstand your post...and that was that you were acting as if Wisconsin football is superior to Illinois Football.

Of course they played a tough schedule so far....and they kept the games pretty close, right? And the points they scored against these teams were against their 2nd and 3rd string defenses, right? Now that that is cleared up.

Multiple choice for you:

A) You are on the Aurora coaching staff and coached with Cooper B) You were on the AU coaching staff, and moved to Bu with Cooper C) You have a son who plays for Aurora and he is a worse athlete than you were D) You played for Aurora(well sat)....degraded and tore down Benedictine Football until your former D-Coordinator got a job at BU, and then turned into a supporter E) All of the above

So are you on Benedictine's 1-6 team or do you just go to school there?

Who cares about who's winning in this conference? Nobody is ever going to win a playoff game.  Everyone should stop patting themselves or anyone else on the back.  "Good job guys you just be a team of paraplegics." How many games has this conference won in non-conference games, I would say MAYBE 5 since the conference started(and to all of you stat monkeys... go look it up I really do want to know).  This whole message board should be deleted

[d3ftball1]

disgracetofootball just registered today at 8:08:27 I guess everyone knows who that is. Same garbage posts same person. You really do need to get a life!!!!  Actually people do care who is winning in this conference and the fact that they can say positive things about someone else's team is class....which you wouldn't understand.
