Dear Tru,

I have to agree with every thing even the BU NCC game, BU is going to get blown away! end of story. BU cant hang with NCC yet!

Now for on to the CUC and Rose Game!
CUC beats Rose after a hard week of practice by Coach Pries. the Coach is working them hard and will correct the mistakes from the UC game last week. But is is going to be a close game. Rose has a qb and the wr's to match. the running game is above par aswell. the d can be scored against. CUC has to have a game. What happens at this game is the turning point of the cougars season. Rose has a new head coach but he is no stranger to the team. He is the former O-cord. of 4 years. Now the head coach he is 1 and 1 so far.  he is the second younges coach in NCAA football.  the Principia coach is a couple months younger.

       "The 2006 projected football roster features over 30 returning letter winners, including 15 starters.  Highlights include a fourth-year starting quarterback, four starters back on the offensive line and at linebacker, and three starters returning on the defensive line."
         The above is taken from the Rose web site.

But CUC can beat them with heart. and that is what they will have

CUC 14 ROSE 10

Good Luck and stay Focused!

Your right that was childish of me, but Then I went on to talk about what a good game it was and how good NCC looked.  You called me out for whining about the refs as if it took something away from the game, which I reiterated it was an awesome game.  I also appologized on the CCIW site, I typed before I thought.  And just because you love the game dones't mean it's ok to be a bad at calling it.  If you love it but suck at calling it you should quit out of respect for the game and thew players.  Keep up the mo-mo-mo-monkeystops and good luck to coe the rest of the year.  

And as for my playing experience I wont boast about it but I played plenty.  How was yours?

Like I said Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

Whoa!

falcsfb i wasn't personally attacking you and apologizies to you my man.  i look at both sites and all i see  CCIW guys comparing IBFC and CCIW.  they continually talk about how some teams got lucy in beating a few teams.  i'm all about respecting your opponent and realizing that anybody can be beat.

furthermore, words cannot explain my love for the game.  i've paid my dues both on and off the field.  so don't take that as boasting because it's never about me. i know that the game is bigger than i am and i'm just trying to share what was given to me from the game.

i'm not from either of the conferences so

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)!

Gee... not too big of a generalization, is it?  I know some of the posters are 4 year starters and even coached - much like virtually every other board.  Almost all love D3 football, their team and their conference.  A few posters cross the line and make inappropriate comments or excuses - again... like most boards.

Don't lump every CCIW poster into the "3rd string, never saw the field, don't know a football from their backsides, make excuses for every loss" bucket.

[Mugsy]

what's with all this comparison between CCIW and IBFC?  i don't get it.  if you're any kind of competitor, win or lose you pay your respects to the opposing team.  quit whinning about officiating and excuses.  The better teams won last Saturday, plain and simple.......  show some respect.......

as an individual i don't care what conference your from, who you played last week, who's officiating the game and i definitely don't care about what happened a year ago!!!  i'm going to take the field with the attitude of," i'm going to kick your a*s, TODAY for the next 2hrs"!!!!!

Yup... Concordia (Wis) beat NCC in 2 OTs. Congrats.  It sounds like it was a hard-fought, very close game.  Recognition should go the Concordia on a fine victory.  And yes... this year is the important year and the next game is the most important game.

It should be noted the comparing the CCIW vs. IBC is not a one way discussion.  Just check both boards during last season as Lakeland was preparing to play Augustana.  IBC posters were just as guilty as CCIW posters beating their chests about their conference.  That is a part of virtually every board on the D3Football website.

Please excuse the perceived arrogance of some CCIW posters, but there is a reason for our pride in the CCIW - particularly in relation to the IBC. 

IBC record against the CCIW since the 2000 season:

Concordia (Wis.): 1-0 (last weeks 30-24 2OT game against NCC)
Greenville: 0-3 (include 58-7 & 65-6 blowouts from Wheaton & loss to NorthPark)
Benedictine: 2-16 (avg score in losses: 38.2 - 10.5)
Concordia (Ill.): 0-4 (2 losses to North Park)
Eureka: 0-8 (4 losses to North Park, other losses: 60-14, 40-6, 50-7, 61-0)
Aurora: 0-2
Lakeland: 2-6 (beat Carthage twice in tight games)
MacMurray: 1-1 (victory over North Park & 53-7 drubbing by Augustana 2 weeks ago)

Cumulative record against the CCIW since 2000 is a paltry 6-40 (.150 winning percentage).  2 of 6 victories have come at the expense of North Park, which hasn't won a CCIW game since the 2000 season!  While North Park hasn't defeated a single CCIW team since 2000, they are 7-2 against the IBC

So when 1 or 2 IBC posters start rippin' on the CCIW after a single victory (albeit a quality win), you can see why some have reacted the way they have.

All this doesn't even bring into consideration that the IBC has yet to win a playoff game, while the CCIW has 4 national championships (yes, I know... in the 80's) and playoff victories by Augustana, Wheaton, Carthage, Millikin and Illinois Wesleyan in the last decade.

Copied post from over on CCIW board.  I fully recognize Concordia for a great win against a very tough North Central squad with high expectations for 2006.  But as I mention above, some CCIW posters are probably a bit defensive as the CCIW had a horrible week, but historically have had the IBC's number.  Perhaps the trend is changing... time will tell.

i clearly did not intend to generalize all CCIW and IBFC posters.  all i'm saying to both side and i realize that i cannot expect people to act as i do but like you said, some of you guys "coached", "played" and whatever you know if you read this stuff after a hard fought battle and weeks preparation you'll feel slighted!!!!!

fair enough

Like I said Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

I didn't say anything about your playing experience.  I swam at Coe, I didn't play football, but I left Coe with four school records.

I was the one questioning your understanding of irony.

The phrase monkey stomp comes from the MIAC board.

[FalconsFootball]

My apologies bluphi.

Congrats on your records thats pretty impressive.  I have a couple as well;  in FB.

Now, I dont really care about who is winning and who is beating who bc frankley the real season starts when conference games are played!!! With that being said i just heard from my boy that bobby langston got defensive player of the week with 4 tackles and 2 sacks!!! I would like to know, why is everyone on this guys johnson so hard???!!!  I am not hating but i dont think everyone is getting fair shot for there athletic abilities instead people are just being bias on what they heard about...my opinon is give everyone a fair shot bc a defensive lineman i wiht 4 tackles and 2 sacks should not get defensive player of the week bc i know is better performances that week..I think there is alittle politics involve with this..but besides the point congrats to cuw for puting us on the map, we are just going to see whomever reps this conference at the end of the year; can the team do it crunch time!!! Closing thoughts...STOP THE POLITICS......GIVE EVERYONE A FAIR SHOT.....this langston kid...isnt that good!!!

i feel ya!!  conference showdown is where the real ball playin takes place.  forget the preseason stuff or non-conference games.  i think they cool but coaches probably use them in prep for the CCIW/IBFC championship status. i'm anxious to see how some of lower teams do in both conferences.  Considering that all of those programs did some huge recruiting this past year. right now, these young guys have been gettin smacked around a little bit but i think it's great experience for them once the conference competition starts.   it'll be interesting to see how these freshman will fit in once conference start. 

i remember watching the BU/AU game last year.  you can tell that BU was coming up.  Greenville is another up and coming team.  what happened to Eureka? what's there status?

come on now!  i disagree with you saying a DL should win player of the week.  Sure the stats don't say much but maybe this kid dominated on the inside, maybe he forced plays to bounce, maybe he was in the backfield 60% of the plays.  Who knows? i'm pretty damn sure both coaches of the game had to vote.

Besides i'm the one who always show praise to OL/DL.  if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have a play, unit or a team......

sorry about the typo: i meant to say, "i disagree with you saying a lineman shouldn't win player of the week".

It appears that the coaching machine of CURF met their match.  Beating the Beavers was NOT a great victory.  CURF acted like they won the Superbowl.  For all you Coach Conwell bashers you deserve what you get.  CURF is going to struggle this year.  The program is in bad shape and some small time high school coach is not going to bring it back.  Coach Hynes was a main reason for the demise of the program.  Recruit all the Lutherans you want, play games w/ the players, be buddy w/ the kids.  What you need to do is recruit quality players and not take any advice form Jeff Hynes.  I am afraid you will lose more games like Saturday - enjoy!

sounds to me like you've been burned but why are you rippin the new staff?  it's only been one game and you're canning them!?

[FalconsFootball]

Everyone is on Langstons jock because he is a great player.  He is a dominate force on the field and an extrememly hard worker off the field.  Bluphi is right he had far more of an impact on the game than the stats show, plus they won!  Who do you think is more deserving?
