Go IBFC!!!!!!!

congrats to they guys who posted wins for your conference.  Especially BU and CUW.   everywhere i went i heard people saying how shocked they were after CUW beat NCC.  I WASN'T!!!!

i explained in detail on another conference site what CUW would do and said how their defensive and offensive line would play.  Shocking to them but a few people have to get off their "high-horse" and realize  that there better teams in other conferences than your own.  It's all about respecting your opponent and never getting complacent....  As for carthage and lakeland, oh well, i guess they played tough. 

congrats gentlemen!!!!!  REPRESENT.......

  Maddog:   No response so i`m going to guess as to what you ment ref,
  " has anybody run the table since LC in 96."
   I guess you mean has anyone in the IBC won all their non-conference and
    all their conference games  in a season.
    Well, the answer is ..............yes.
    MacMurray did it in 2002. They were 10-0. That gave them their 2nd conference title in a row and 2nd  straight entry into the NCAA play-offs.
   They didn`t share it with anybody...............know what i mean?
    Plus, that year(2002) Div-3, Top 25 poll had them ranked #14 in the country.
    I believe that`s the best any IBC team has done, including LC of course.
    Here i thought you were a student of IBC foootball..........not!
    Last week i picked LC to win...............just for you.

CUC's oline is in trouble! They are having problems. If there is on thing that the O needs work on is that Line. Protect the QB and Run the ball=Wins!!!

The coaches messed with the oline from week one to week two by starting a new player at guard. the freshmen came in for a 3 year player at left guard. I really dont think you needed to do that. The whole "dont mess with what was working" think! Plus, when the score became out of hand that is when you take out the starters and put in the backups. this early in the season you need to get them in to build them up. you have got to find the 5 best and stick with them. you can't go changing all the time. last year and the year before the line changed all the time and could there was no time to form a chemistry togather. I hope this does not  repeat this year. the center got hurt in the eye by a cheep in the pile move by UC and had to leave for a few snaps and during that time there was an over head snap and several QB jump balls. This cannot happen. Work needs to be done. IF you are a player and you read this and get upset. Use this to fire your self up at pactice to win on Sat. I dont know much about ROSE ecept that they have a new coaching staff. I will get more on them soon. Work O-line you are the heart and soul of the team, no matter what happens!

you have some good points and i strongly agree with you on the encourgaging the o-line!!!!!!  after watching the game, it's no question that CUC have some athletes it was a matter of EXECUTION.   my opinion is execution must be monitored and practiced everyday.  i'm not saying that the coaching staff's not preaching it but it showed on Saturday.

[BluPhi35]

i  mean CUC had several opportunities to to make huge plays but couldn't finish the job.  u of c had this blitz happy 3-3-5 defense that left holes but CUC couldn't get to them.   keep poundin' the rock and in a little while big things are going to happen.  look at BU they're rollin' after learning from their mistakes against ELMHURST.  learn and never look back...

What was there end of the year ranking, since they lost the first round game 42-7.

[Gomer Pyle]

   The end of the year ranking prior to the play-offs Mac was ranked #14
    as i stated. As Maddogs question was about running the table (10 games regular season)   my answer was correct with a little extra for maddog.
    To answer your question, i`m not sure where they finally ended up.
    Wabash was the better team in the play-offs no doubt about it. 
    Un-like "others" Mac took the loss and moved on. No would-a, could-a
   or should-a`s. It was raining, the umps were biased, etc.
   Mac had a very good team that year but Wabash was  42-7 better.

MacMurray was indeed ranked #14 going into the 2002 postseason.

The 2002 poll was the last year before we started our own poll. We started our own poll because the AFCA poll in 2002 was just plain awful. The coaches just seem to ignore or be unaware of a team's strength of schedule.

That was a very intelligent rebuttal coo coo.  You must be very intelligent.  Don't be mad because I pointed out your hypocrisy.   

[FalconsFootball]

Oh well, whatever, nevermind right.

[coocooforcoekohawk]

Oh well, whatever, nevermind right.

Yep!

[coocooforcoekohawk]

The cardinals were flat-out out matched. CUW ran right over them.   CUW is looking big strong and fast.  If they keep this momentum up lookout IBFC. 

You're right, no one should come on this sight and boast about their team.   It makes you look childish, not as childish as complaining about refs who don't get paid much, and do it for the love of the game, but I digress.  Boasting about  your team on this sight is an unforgivable sin.

P.S. could you explain how it is ironic that I came on this sight and boasted about my team, you see I'm not very intelligent, and I didn't get it.

Coocoo~

What's your prediction for the Coe - Luther game?  I'm coming up for that game.  Should be a dandy.
 

Congrats to CUW.  Tremedous win.  BU knocking around NP(cciw) was good to see as well.

As far as runing the table goes I know that AU went 27-1 in the IBFC from 98'-01.  During those years they lost to the eventual  CCIW confrence champs 7-6(IW 98), and 14-12(Big Blue 99).  Being that it was our first two seasons in the confrence we didn't get the automatic bid, thus not making the play-offs becuse of before mention losses and dropin' games to Valpo.  Those were some fast, aggressive, angery young men on those teams.

Good Luck to the Spartans.  Your young, stick with the system.  It'll work and you'll be back to the top in no time.  Play hard.  Play fast.  PLAY SMART.  Go Blue.

[BluPhi35]

what's the prediction of BU/NCC game?

  i have to agree with "coo coo" it does make you look like an idiot going to other sites boasting.  i sent a message to the guys of CCIW about that but hey, what else are you going to do?   

if you got beat, give it up to the opposing team.  don't whine about it? these dudes are trippin' me out because i'm getting this disturbing feeling that most of those "cats" were 3rd string ball players and always making excuses about there teams and why they're not on the field(old days)!

anyway what's up with match-ups this weekend?  who does AU and Greenville play?

[BluPhi35]

pat coleman

your the general of the site.  please explain to me about this "karma" points.  i'm not feeling the love at all considering every post i make is negative ratings. show and throw some love this way.

[TruCountry95]

Greenville plays Taylor University-IND, there an NAIA team. There 0-2 with losses to Anderson, and Quincy.  Greenville should get the win. I predict this Saturday -

1) Greenville vs Tayor U  (Greenville Wins - 42-14)
2) CUW vs Wisconsin Luthern (CUW WINS)
3) Aurora doesn't play till the 23rd against MacMurray.
4) Lakeland vs UW-Oshkosh (Lakeland Loses)
5) BU vs North Central  (Benedictine Loses)
6) Eureka vs North Park (Eureka Wins)
7) Concordia vs Rose-Hulman (CU Wins)
