FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

So techinally Mac is the only college to have produced a star athlete out of the IBC, wow they must be doing something right there.

CUW, Greenville and Lakeland put a number of great atheltes out there.  Many of which still hold NAIA records. 

Everyone is so wrapped up in the 'pro' status that they forget Navarro (Lakeland) still holds a number of passing records for DIII.  He was a part of an awesome team that did not get a bid to the tourney (after going 18-0 at the time, if I am not mistakin') cause of an 8-2 Wittenburg team.

The IBC did not have the auto bid at the time and Witt had earned it after running through a gaunlet (arguedably) stronger then Lakeleand at the time.

I remember seeing that team from the late 90's and I believe some great athletes are over looked from that team.

Don't get me wrong, AU and BU at that time and in the early 2000's had some good studs as well, especially at D Line, th RB position and DB position, but now we are reduced to yelling about kickers?!?

Let's get real and say we have a ways to go and prove it on the field.  AU came the closest 2 years ago in a tough OT loss but they are not on here whinning!  They put it on the field and nearly beat an NCAC Champ!  I can guarrantee they are in the weight room preparring for next years opportunity!!

Support your team, Support your school, and defend your conference as best you can with their teams' play.  Stop this grabbing at straws for credibilaty by an attempt of salvaging something from insulting other players or claiming this guy is going pro for whoever or whatever has been the case.  It will be seen on TV or in the papers when it is confirmed if some one makes it, so let them chase the dream, like many before, without scorn or rumor.

Just an ol' former IBC player's view of things.

Im just wondering how the CURF players feel about the new coaching staff?

[baseman201]

From what I have heard he is an awesome guy/coach, and wants good things to happen quick.  So hopefully he can get some actual recruiting done, and turn this team around.  But, that's just what I have heard, someone who is actually playing this next year could probably give more info.

[zorbadagreek]

Does this new coach have a new staff in place? What happened to the former coaches??

[sotha sil]

Well, I know RF got a new defensive backs coach...he is probably the lamest guy ever to come through football....and he will here it from his old team on saturdays....we got your back even though we are gonna go harder on your team bc you are across the sideline....No one here at CUW has any intent on making your job easy boy...but we wish you the best luck...great guy coming down to coach at RF

[Cougswillwin]

We are all really excited about our new coach.  He is a young guy but he is bringing alot of spark to the program, which is something that the Cougars have been lacking for quite some time.  We already have an offensive coordinator and a strength and conditioning coach, something else we have not had for years, if at all.  We also are returning our Grad Assistant, he coached our receivers last year and eventually took over as co-offensive coordinator.  Sure, we may be taking a gamble at getting a young high school coach, but having formerly played here, he has alot of ties to alumni that are now coaches around the country.  As sotha sil said, we do have a defensive backs coach.  He played at CUW last year and Im not sure how, but he has a tie with our coaches.  I honestly dont think recruiting will be a problem.  He already is getting alot of guys from his high school here, and he also is going to tap into the Lutheran schools around the region, as well as all the public and catholic schools that we recruit at too.  These new coaches are excited about this chance and they have alot of fire and passion to turn this program around, which is something that hasn't really been prevalent in the past.  It may take a few years to turn this program into contenders, but CURF's time is coming and it is coming soon.  The new look Cougars are gonna be ready to fight in 2006, and we are also getting new jerseys....awwwww yeah!
