FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[FatalImpact]

Excuse me I don't own your transcript but none the less youre a homer, just like everyone else on this board......I don't get on here and just talk smack, You think I'm talking smack cause I downgraded GC, so all of a sudden I talk trash, I got on here and speak my mind on football, much like yourself I am an alum to this conference, if u did indeed play in the IBFC, or if you just keep an eye on it, I get on here and stand up and say what I feel about the play in this conference, You accuse me of talking trash....Screw that......I said it last week when all the AU haters were saying they would lose to BU...I WAS RIGHT......I get on here speaking that a lackluster team from years past (CUC) will lose to AU this year, because AU is struggling this year but they are still the better team, and now your blowing my "simple logic" comment way out of proportion, gimmie a break, AU beats CUC this year just like last year, and the year before that, and the year before that and so on and so forth

Basemen21-- you have some issues that I think a good Shrink could help you with.  If you had half a brain you would realize that by eating together, practicing together, showering together, etc.  builds team chemistry/unity,  and a mutual respectability between teammates.   I don't know what your team used to talk about in the shower (and I don't really want to know), but at Elmhurst, we would discuss which lady we were going out and/or how it went with over the weekend, what we were doing after the Saturday football game, perhaps it was a test we had been studying for all week etc.  nothing along the lines of gay or (other things) that you speak of.
Sounds to me that you are a lonely person that doesn't know what the concept of team is.  My HS football coach had a saying for team-  T together E everyone A accomplishes M  more.  and you can't spell Team with I.  Yes, those are corny sayings, but if you truly believe in a team, then you know that individualism doesn't work.
Now then, If I wasn't covering EC's game vs. IWU I would love to be at the CUW/Lakeland game.  I think this is a good battle between 2 very evenly matched squads.  As I said before, I think CUW wins this game with defense.

There is a simplier way to look at the AU - CUC game this week. The most recent W & L for both teams.

AU-W, CUC-L or another way to look at it
CUC-L, AU-W

either way its AU-W and CUC-L, so bring your rain coats and booties ladies and your smack talk if you think that help run up the score. AU plays football - it accepts its Ws & Ls as part of the game and moves on, something CUC has figured out yet. CUW will go 10-0 and win its first playoff game for the IBC.

that is just pathetic...you know your football aufb...do me a favor, I am looking to bet this week on some NFL games, with your awesome football knowledge, can you let me know who wins some games, you really seem to know what you are talking about. Thanks!!!

TRU, you shouldn't let him get to you, GC is a real good team and everyone acknowledges that (accept for him obviously) and not everything sucks north of I-70, we all arent like Da One up here. Anyways, lets talk some football now, picks this week from people who actually have knowledge of football???

[mac_7_seven]

I read several days (weeks) ago that someone said this conference is going to be no more in a couple of years.  Is this true?  If so where are the teams going?  Have any already made commitments to others? 

[Pat Coleman]

Those that are in the Northern Athletics Conference for their other sports will be in the NAthCon for football as well:

Those that are in the SLIAC for other sports will be in the SLIAC for football as well.

[TruCountry95]

mac_7, heres the info where GC is going to be......

Regardless the IBC is going to be no longer after the 2007 season.  The St. Louis Intercolligiate Conference (SLIAC) takes over for some of the IBC teams. The SLIAC will begin football play in 2008, featuring 10 teams. There will be 2 divisions seperating those teams the North Div. and the South Div.  The 10 times are......   

North Div. (SLIAC Conf)
1. Crown College (MN)
2. Martin Luther College (MN)
3. University of Minnesota-Morris
4. Northwestern College (MN)
5. Principa

South Div. (SLIAC Conf)
1. Greenville College  (IBC)
2. Blackburn Colelge   
3. Eureka College      (IBC)
4. MacMurray College (IBC)
5. Westminster

They will also be a automatic qualifier for the NCAA DIV III Tourney beginning in 2010.   Should be a great Conference.

Jaybird-

Just saying in general it's just a gay thing to take a shower with bunch of other dudes, no matter what you are talking about, I guess I am just too homophobic for my own good.

I am just trying to have a good time on the board by not being too serious all the time. 

and I think the TEAM saying has been used by every coach in the world, but at my HS it was Together Everyone Achieves More, not accomplishes, but I guess different strokes for different folks right?

And regarding your lonely comment, I am actually married, so I am not what you would call a "lonely" person.  Just not a very serious person, which is why I thought listing out things that are gay was a fun time.

So are we not getting that list from the 7th graders?

[Fartcus Smellwood]

I just had a quick question Pat about the new conferences. I know you gave us the links but it confuses me for football.

Aurora
Benedictine  
Concordia (Ill.)
Concordia (Wis.)
Dominican  
Edgewood
Lakeland
Maranatha Baptist
Marian
Rockford
Wisconsin Lutheran

so, the new conference would be these teams minus Dominican because they don't have a football team? For some reason I thought that North Park was being brought into this conference....stupid rumors. Oh well, if you could clear that up Pat, it would be cool. Thanks.

     

[79jaybird]

Basemen21-- fair enough and I see your point now.  I actually have heard the achieves more part too.
Pat- Will the Northern Athletics Conference Champion be given an Automatic Qualifier to the NCAA Playoffs for Football and Basketball?

[Mr. Ypsi]

So far as I am aware, North Park has NO plans to leave the CCIW, and the CCIW has no plans to expel NPU.  I can't think of any reason why such a plan would be contemplated from either end.

[79jaybird]

In reality, the only sport that North Park is NOT competitive in (throughout history) is Football.  They were Nat'l Champs in Basketball (multiple times) and were at one time unbeatable in basketball.  Men's/Women's Soccer they are competitive and their baseball team usually holds their own.
Elmhurst in the 90's struggled in football but were competitive in most other sports.  Sometimes just because a school is not on the map in a particular sport, doesn't mean the conf. and/or the school wants to pursue other conferences.

Trucountry, several questions...

How did Principia get stuck having to travel north?  Coin flip?  Short straw?

Will the conference still play the Dome Day game as the UMAC has and as suggested in earlier communcations?  Will the Dome Day decide the AQ?

How likely are we to see the members schedule other inter-divisional games (beyond the mandated two) to find competitive teams for their schedules?  Wash U is getting NCAC teams added to its UAA regulars.  The LMC/NAthCon will have only 3 non-conference dates and an 8 team (even numbered) conference line-up.

Are any other SLIAC/UMAC/NAthCon teams contemplating adding football for gender equalization or enrollment augmentation reasons?

Basically, except Edgewood and Marian also do not have football.

[Fartcus Smellwood]

sorry about the NP comment, I didn't know what to think because you guys are right, why would a conference want to let that team go??? Anyways, thanks Pat for answering th question...I just didn't know which other teams didn't have football other than Dominican.
