I remember once putting 40 points on EC going down hill in the 1st quarter.  What a blast. 

Good point Da One... many a high school team would put it on EC or CUC.  What was I thinking.

As for the worst field I would have to say Mac.  We went down in 2000 and it was hard as a rock with no grass.  They spray painted the dirt green.  A fella by the name of Vinny Mac would tell us that it was a fast turf.  We believed him because he had 76 years of coaching experience and if you questioned him he would physically kick your ass.  They had couches set up in the end zone and the fans would just ride the heck out of ya.  They had some great teams down in Jacksonville (the armpit of IL) and some great players (Jamie "Pornstache" Lee, Franky Carter, Budda, to name a few) but we managed to take 3 out of 4 while I was at AU.  We also won 25 straight IBFC games before Mac beat us at home.  Bastards!

hey there everyone, first time poster....been a reader for awhile though. Just going to give my predictions this weekend without scores, being my first post...

CUC vs MAC- CUC takes this one...Cougs are rollin'
Lakeland vs Eureka- hmmm tough one...kiddin' Lakeland stomps on Eureka...Eureka may score 7 when they are running downhill on their field (doubtful though)
Greenville vs Benedictine- Greenville takes this one, Benedictine isn't that tough. Sorry BUFan, I am sure you'll have something to say.
CUW vs AU- CUW will come out the winner.

Should be a good week of football...enjoy everyone.

If you saw Jaime now, he looks like Tom Cruise when he was in All the Right Moves..  Hilarious!

Team of the week Greenville-- after the big win last week, can they solidify a second place finish in the league.... For the last three or four years most people would agree, that they might not have the best talent, and they lost games, but they never quit fighting. There was a coach at IBC two years ago that spoke admiringly about the way the kids at GC played until the end of the game, even chanting for their teammates-- I think it was something like "pound the rock" or something like that... Could this be the best team at Greenville since the 2000/2001 teams? co-sliac champs one year?

Other than the poor field conditions at Macmurray-- who has the best field??

[FalconsFootball]

Best artificial surface---CUC

Best Stadium---BU  (would be better if they could add stands to the other side though)

Best natural surface---CUW

i would agree that CUW has the best field i liked the atmospher when MAC went up there to play, i never play at BUs new field, also i liked that field turf at CURF, but CUW takes that title,# 9  and # 22 u guys going to go 0-5 lets go the WU chew chews are coming haha

Benedictine's Stadium is nice, however there is only 1 side of the Stadium.  Driving up to the Stadium or the look across Maple Ave. is beautiful, but the West end is cornfield??  I think they should have cleared out a little patch, perhaps redirect/redesign the adjacent road, and build at least a few bleachers to make it look like an "arena".
Should be a good game this weekend between Benedictine and Greenville.  This one IMO, is tough to call, but I am going to go with the Eagles getting back to 500.

two years ago when CUC played BU at BU I heard someone talk about how they were going to put seats on the other side but had some property problems with whoever owned the cornfield! I will say that CUC has the same problem with only haveing one side of stands but they really have no room to put anymore! they did add small stands to the south endzone, When the school starts letting people tail gate with booze it will be the best place to play! For a bad team in the past they did get fairly good crowds!

I will say that MAC has the best Field in the Conf.(natural) CUC has best aritficial.
Out of conf. I will say that ROSE Hulman has the best because they get the money for the cults to training camp there!!


Mac has only scored 20 points all season so far!!!!


CUC wins most games in a season since 92

[baseman201]

Yeah, I agree with everyone.

CUC best field
BU best stadium
CUW best natural field

7400, did you mean CUW when you said best natural grass, because you put MAC instead........I hope so at least.

[7400West]

yah sorry about that, you are right on top of things Baseman!!!

[lovethegame]

MAC WINS!!!!! THEY BEAT CUC 46-41, IT WAS A GREAT GAME, MAC GETS FIRST WIN, IT WAS TRULY A TEAM WIN. SEEING QB 15 BACK CHANGED THIS TEAM, THEY LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOW!

[NCAA Football]

Mac's offense looked great today with #15 back at quarterback.  He had a great day.  The score is pretty decieving though.  CUC shouldn't have been that close.  Mac had to play the refs too, although I'm not taking anything away from CUC.  They came to play.  Look for Mac to start playing much better though with #15 back to lead them.

[FalconsFootball]

Does anyone know what went on in the rest of conference play today?  What happened with BU GC?

you are seriously out of your mind...anyone that was at the CUC/MAC game could say that the refs were giving it all to MAC. their running back leaning forward BEFORE EACH SNAP, they GAVE him a td right before the half when he was no where near the goal line....STUFFED, they gave MAC an awesome spot their way(about one yard more than one of the refs spotted the ball) to give them a first down instead of 4th down.And wow, how the refs really worked that clock....and also to end it, #1 from MAC should of been ejected after laying out CUC's QB when he was 2 yards out of bounds already. Typical MAC team though, should you expect anything less from a team that has pieces of broken glass laying all over their field??? Guess not. My advice to other teams going to play MAC @ MAC...don't just watch the players, watch the refs too. Good luck to CUC on the rest of their season.

  CU-W continues it`s roll towards the IBC championship.
 
   Greenville beats BU in OT. I called this game earlier in the week ....Best game of the week.

   Lakeland gets the "W" but Eureka scores on them plus they "only" scored
    45 points.

  MacMurray may have gotten their first win but  the 41 points CU-C scored
  is the highest ever for a CU-C team against Mac.  Mac still not that good.
 
  Lovethegame: FYI..........Caps not allowed. Same as yelling/ hollering.
   Surprised Pat from D-3 hasn`t told you that.  Just a friendly "heads-up".
