My hat goes off to the first place team in the IBFC CURF great win for the program. Must be nice sitting on top for a change. At the end it will be CUW or Lakeland. CUW posted a great start with their non-conference win. they will be a recking force all year long! bank on it good job to the Concordias. Great start. Lakeland will be back his is not new to them thru the first 3 games. GREAT job to the CUW BIG "D". And to my Lakeland "BELIEVE" you have the greatest coach in the game. You have the talent, just "BELIEVE" Learn from these non-conference games you will be fine, good job BRAD you will be successful, be the leader with HOMER!!!!!!!!!!! PAIN TRAIN I want to see some PAIN against Carthage....

Fatal,

Apparently you don't know about the 5 to play 4 (20 semester rule).

You have 5 years (or 20 semesters in a row) to play 4.

If you started in 2001, you would have until the end of the 2005 season.

2001-2005=5 years....understand now?

In my world there are only 10 semesters in five years. Call me crazy.

You also have to be ENROLLED, full-time, for all of those semesters for them to count against your clock.

maddogg,

there ain't nothing good can come out of getting 75 points put on you. I'm all for playing above yourself to prepare for the playoffs. Lakeland knows that the IBC is a weak conference. Get wins in conference won't help your confindence in the playoff if you get smoke everytime you play a playoff team.

Lakeland should play someone in the top 15-30 range. Losing by 2 scores to Wheaton or North Central would help your confidence a lot more than losing by 10 scores to Whitewater.

I'm not positive about the rule, but what if a student enrolls in a school that does not sponsor intercollegiate sports?  I don't think those semesters count toward the 10-semester tally.

Yeah, its CUCs first win in 2 seasons.  About time.

Anyhow, the Defense looked great.  It's good to see people actually going to the ball to make the tackle and not backing up from it.  The offense was a little iffy especially in the red zone, they went like 2 for 10 in the red zone.

they get a HUGE test on Saturday when they play University of Chicago.

Either way, finally good to see them win a game to boost up the confidence.

 Maddog:
       I know your in pain   and you may well be correct about ....down the road.  Time will tell on that one.
       I`ll tell you Mel, you sure can put a "spin" on getting your collective Azz`s kicked on your home field, infront of all those praying fans and saying
you`ll (LC) will be a better team for it.  Ya, right!!!!!!!!
    By the way, you said, " that`s why they (LC) walks thru the IBFC."
    I`ll give you that one but it`s not because LC is that good it`s only because most of the teams in the IBC are really not that good. No offense to anybody, just stating a fact.
    75-14.....final score.    At least you didn`t blame it on the weather........this time.

Thanx Pat

The score of the CUC - Blackburn game doesn't reflect the dominance that CUC displayed against them.  CUC should have put up 42 but it was  the inexperience on offense in the red zone. This is something that will improve quickly.  The defense was put in tight spots on their side of the field over and over again and forced 5 key turnovers, the only blackburn score came on a 42 yard field goal when they started on the 15 and got pushed back.  Both sides of the ball will improve and this will be a team that can compete in a conference where the top teams can have 75 put on them any given sat.

Who are you?

If you don't mind me asking

[Fatpongo]

Pat,

You're not crazy, but you know that was a typo by me and that I meant 10 not 20.

The only way you can be eligible as an undergrad is if you are a full-time student...and he was eligible...or else he wouldn't have played on the 2001 team.

Nice try trying to make me look wrong because of a typo I made, but I'm right.

[Fatpongo]

So again, with simple addition skills learned in elementary school.

2001=2 semesters
2002=2 semesters
2003=2 semesters
2004=2 semesters
2005=2 semesters

What does that add? Is that 10? Yes it is.

Is this 2006? Yes, it is.

Does that help?

[Mr. Ypsi]

fatp,

I know none of you (and have no 'dog in this fight'), but you seem to be overlooking an obvious possibility.  Perhaps he didn't directly transfer from IWU, but dropped out for one or more semesters before re-enrolling elsewhere?

As Pat has pointed out before, the 10 semester rule can be spread out indefinitely over time.

[Pat Coleman]

Or perhaps he wasn't enrolled full time every spring? You haven't proven your case yet.

[ILikeDiv3]

To the kid who is fatpongo:  Didn't Joe Sergo say earlier he dropped out of IWU and took 1.5 years off?  Also, you might want to consult the bylaws of the NCAA Div III.  The five year rule does not apply to Division III.

THANKS PAT
