Where do I begin, so much to talk about! I might have to do more then one post to cover everything I have read from all of you. I will start with what bothers me the most and work from there!!!

FIRST, CUC's win is much more important then, BU's Loss to Lakeland. CUC was a new team. The 3 games before this week were CURF and now it is CUC!!! CUC would have beat up on BU wit the attitudes and game play I witnessed on sat. They had a fire lit I have never seen of played with at CUC and it is COACH PRIES AND JANOWSKI!!  The O is rolling just like they say! Watch out MacMurry and watch out AU and maybe even Greenville!!! If they play the way they did on sat. then it could happen!!

SECOND! I was right there but was not a nosy as I should have been. I heard the HC yell at the OC to not walk away from him and "to get back here when I am talking to you!" the fact is that it does not matter what he said and even if he said "I am very angry right now please get away before I say something I don't mean." The point is that they were pissed at each other. Did you see the poor attempt at the WR pass, CUC caused them to play like that, and that is what I was commenting on!

Third! I really don't know how cheap EC was! I could not tell from but I believe it. I will say that the EC head coach is a good one and will cure the cancers on the team. I watched him when he was at UC and he was a good coach then and is not. They will get better.

Forth! If Eurika is younger then CUC that is amazing!!!!! CUC has 3-4 last year players or less. Most of the team is Freshman.

Fif!! What happen to Lakeland!

Sixth! I think BU and CUC should play at the end of the season at BU and if BU wins then I will agree that a loss is more important then a win. But I truly believe that CUC would win big.

Seventh! I think this win clearly puts this coaching staff over the top and lets Coach Pries sleep at least a little better! But the season is not over and He will have the Cougars ready!!!!

Good luck to all the teams and watch out for the Cougars!!! It is an exciting time at CUC!!! For the frist time in a long time!!!!

also Weeks should be 1st team with that kind of game play, He looked like his idol Farve out there (young Farve)!!!


GO BEARS!!!!!!

[baseman201]

I am assuming you mean, "FAVRE"

yeah, I do think Weeks should be player of the week, when was the last time CUC had a player of the week?  Maybe never.

And CUW still wins conference, they beat Lakeland BIIIIG I think.  No one will stop CUW, not even the "Pain Train" Maddog.

Good games played this past Saturday way to go CUC!  It's going to be another good week in the IBC this Saturday also. I'm going have to disagree with you baseman, CUW is beatable.  It may be possible with Lakeland, but more possible with Greenville. I know you guys are going to disagree and I understand where your coming from, but I just think GC's Defense can do it, and if you can stop Gillipsie than your half way there. But who knows.   I'm makin my predictions early for Saturday October, 7th.   

Lakeland vs. Eureka      Lakeland  Wins   52-7
Aurora vs CUW              CUW  Wins   38-13
CUC vs MacMurray         CUC   Wins   21-18
Greenville vs BU             Greenville    Wins    21-7

The only reason you think GC or want GC to beat 'em is for the infamous three way tie......CUW beats LC....LC beats GC.......The GC to beat CUW.....don't get me wrong.....I agree CUW is beatable.....You're already playing the numbers game.....trust me Ive been there.....While there is a distinct possibility that GC will beat CUW.....IMO it is doubtful

7400...i thought we settled this.  Its easy to get up for a team that you know you can beat up on. Like CUC did for Eureka.  Dont sit here and tell me that if they played at the end of the year, CUC would win big.  While CUC would be improved, so would BU.  I dont think CUC would improve enough to overcome a 34-12 defecit.  I dont care about the rain, the spread offense, dont wanna hear it.  You said CUC had a new team after you beat Blackburn, then Chicago and Rose Hullman took them behind the wood shed, BU handed it too them, then you beat Eureka and you have a new team all of a sudden?  I dont quite see the logic.  Your supposed to get excited before games and have that attitude you mentioned.  As much as I despise MacMurray overall attitutde on the field, they will hit u in the mouth, be it dirty or clean.  MacMurray is looking at CUC like you guys did to Eureka.  Like they can stomp on you like Albert Haynesworth.  Just like AU looks at BU.  Its that mindset that is hard to overcome if your on the wrong side of it.

Since 2 weeks ago, I was pretty much right on the money with my predictions, scores included...I will attempt to do the same this week.

Lakeland 45, Eureka 0
CUW 32, AU 7
MacMurray 27, CUC 13
BU 14, Greenville 12

I admit that when a team wins the first game in two years you get excited! that is what i did but i have said that BlackBurn is so bad that last years CUC could have beat them. CUC put up over 40 points on EC!!! that says something!!!! and its not good for other teams

More posts later in the week!

[7400West]

The truth is that CUC in the past was not good! CUC could not get up for teams that they new they would beat up on! I believe that if CUC played the way they did against EC the same way with BU then it would have been a diffrent story! it did not work out that way and CUC lost to BU!!! I never said anything about the rain. CUC had something on Sat. I just hope they know what it is and keep it! CUC stomed on EC from the first play to the last. If they do close to that against Mac then Mac is in trouble. CUC has always played Mac well and for the first time in a LOOOOOOOONG time the O will be the diffrence in the game for CUC. If they move the ball then CUC will win! the D will do their part. I will tell you what, lets wait for the Lakeland CUC game to see what kind of team lakeland has and if BU is worth what you say they are BUFan!! But i would have to say that this is the best team at CUC since the mid 90's!!!

7400west,
I understand your excitement.  However, don't get to overzellous.  Eureka is as bad as Blackburn if not worse.  They are several high school teams that would beat up on the Red Devils.  Give the Cougars 2-3 years.  They have a chance to be a solid team.  I don't think they will win another game the rest of the season, but things are changing at CUC

[baseman201]

Hey, there are high schools out there that I firmly believe would beat alot of D-III squads.  Have you been watching any of the high school games on ESPN?  They are amazing and full of D-I talent. 

Let's take Oaks Christian High School for example, they have the #1 QB in the nation and the #3 RB in the nation, along with some amazing WRs to boot.  I think they would be able to beat most of the teams in the IBC and alot of other D-III schools as well.  So I don't know what your point is about high school teams being able to beat up on Eureka, they would beat up on alot of D-III.  (In my opinion)

Yeah, I agree give them a couple years and they will have themselves something.  As for this weekends games.

1.  Lakeland vs. Eureka - Lakeland dominates, nothing new here
2.  CUW vs. AU - CUW dominates, nothing new here
3.  MAC vs. CUC - I have no idea what the outcome will be, I say either team wins by 3, maybe around the 13-10 range for either side, toss up game.
4.  BU vs. GC - Greenville gets the win, but only by 7 or less, maybe around 17-14 or 21-17, somewhere around that.

Your wrong about the high school team beating college teams.  Let me point out I don't include EC, Blackburn and past CUC teams as college football teams.  That being said, the key difference is "grown man" strength.  A 16 year old kid is going to get knocked around on the o-line and d-line.  I see these prospects from Morris, Hinsdale Central, Downers North, and South the past couple years.  These kids are huge and athletic but soft coming out.  They have huge frames and flexible hips.  The high school o-line and d-line would get "monkey stomped" against 22yr old men.  I don't care how fast your wr/rb/qb are they can't run away from 11 angery men.

Lastly, I would like to be referred to as "The Truth" from now on instead of twisted2. 

Thank you
The Truth

[baseman201]

Twisted-

I am not talking about the 16 year old kids on the JV squad, I am talking about the senior D-I prospects on the top teams in the country for high school.  Not Morris (even though they were ranked nationally last year) Hinsdale, and the Downer Grove schools.  I am talking about these kids from California, Texas, Florida and the big high school states.  I think they would be able to beat most of the teams in the IBC.  I am sure there will be a game on this weekend featuring top teams in the country again on ESPN, watch and you will see.

Plus I have been to high school games out in California and of course D-III football games.  From what I have personally witnessed, there is no doubt in my mind those High school teams would surprise all of you who think what Twisted thinks.

And I will keep calling you twisted from now on, not the Truth

[FalconsFootball]

Baseman, 
       
      I understand what you are trying to say (I'm from Fla) and agree with you in the fact that there are highschool teams with SOME kids who have enough TALENT to beat some DIII players; however, I highly doubt there is a High School team out there with a good enough O-Line and D-line and other areas in between to compete with MOST DIII programs.  The point is there is going to be kids with more talent at SOME positions, just not an entire teams worth.  Which is something that most decent DIII programs have.  And lets not forget the coaching aspect of things.

7400west,

I would have to say that EC is equally as bad as Blackburn and that being said CUC played better, they had 5 turnovers when they played BlackBurn and I dont remeber how many against EC but it was not that many if any!!!

High School teams can beat up on College teams I used to say that all the time! aside form D1 talent some teams are just well coached and have great players with heart on the high school level!! not saying college doesnot but at my high school and other catholic team around the chicagoland area, the teams played with great passion and did not have that many d1 athletes but many die hard players! Provadince Catholic afew years ago would have beat many IBC and other conf. teams, along with Mount Carmel of a few years ago and mybe even this years team!!!!


lastly i said that if cuc loses sat's game they would not win again but after what happen i will say that CUC beats Mac, mac is in shambles!!!

sorry about the spelling!!!

[bufan]

Im convinced that I played some high school teams that would beat my 2004 Benedictine team.  Yes we were 1-9 and terrible, but I played at Lyons Township, the same conference as a Hinsdale Central and the Downers.'  My junior year we played Maine South in the second round of the playofs and got killed, they won state, 13-0 record.  The would have beaten that BU team I was on.  I feel like an idiot admitting it, but they were an amazing team.  I think it would happen more than we think.  But again, we are in the second worst conference in D3... I dont think the Wisconsin conference and the CCIW has this problem.  Now by me saying more than we think, let me explain.  If you guys think it would happen 3/100, i would say 12-15 outta 100.  thats all

go bears

[baseman201]

Yeah 7400  you blow at spelling......but who's paying attention right?
