Yeah, or even Gagliardi.

If you have a championship game named after you or the trophy for the best D-III player named after you, then you were pretty special. 

Before putting Zebrowski on such a high pedestal and stating him being up there with Hayes or Schembechler, let's wait 10 years down the road and see if you are saying the same thing. 

AU and CUC is a toss up game, either of them win by 3-7

I seen some replies...When someone said that my boy gets all of his tackles for jumping on the pile...Well heres one for ya DUDE....45 SOLO tackles this season so far 23 assisted!! i believe if you look it up he is 3rd hold on let me say it again 3RD  in the COUNTRY for SOLO tackles....So i hope to clarify that for ya!!! now lets talk about trash talking...Maybe he doese maybe he doesnt..But i played with him in high school for Lake Mary Fl, and in college for 2 years and everything he talks he backs up on the field and not one player can deny that!! I am not knockng #25 or bobby from bc from what i head from #9 that those two are very good but peopel lets look at the FACTS..........Led the conference last year in tackles as well as in the top 10 or 15 in the nation...and comes back this year with a pre-season All American honor and is doing better than he did last year...still leading the confernce in tackles and in the top 10 again in the country, especally when there is an X on his chest!!! For you guys to disrespect my boy like have is NUTS!!!!! If you want to talk about record, as i beleive i dont htink mac has a good offense this year and teams thay played mac can vouch for that, but thats another subjsct i am am just sticking up for my boy bc he comes for a great high school program from which there are player at USC, NAVY, PURDUE, ECU, and St. Olafs to name a few, and was a stand out there, and got alot of respect down there, but in this conference NONE!!! Just take a look, I DARE YA.... AS FAR AS ME, I was reciever of ther year in thsi conference 2 years ago and 1st team all-conference so i dont really need to hear SH*T from anyone, bc i did what i needed to do....Oh yea i got 2 rings toooooO HAHA....I am just sticking up for my friend and a good football player!!!

Fatal-
         Could you please back up with something why you think Langston would be Defensive Player of the Year. Just a stat or something.  I'll go first with J.R. then you follow with Langston then we'll and everybody will compare.......

J.R. Harriel   2005 1st Team IBC
                  2006  2 Time Defensive Player of the Week  against BU & AU
                  2006  1st in Tackles for Loss
                  2006  1st in Forced Fumbles (9th in Nation)
                  2006  2nd Tackles
                  2006  2nd Solo Tackles

[TruCountry95]

Reeno-
            I like how you back up your nomination for Defensive Player of the Year with all his stats.  I agree with you #9 is an awesome athlete and he's  a front runner for Defensive Player of the Year.  I think it will come down to him and J.R. #9 is an All-American also which may just get him the title.  You gonna be at the game Saturday at G.C?

Fatal- were waiting for your stats on Langston or anything as to why you pick him for it?

[FatalImpact]

You really did give me any stats you just stated what he was.......from what I can tell langston is the better player, and I have seen them both play......Plus langston is a defensive lineman, and Harrel is a linebacker........Everybody knows its harde for a d lineman to rack up as many stats as he has....LB's make like 75 % of all plays.............And from what I've read youre the only one that says harrel is the Dplayer of the year so daont say "we're waiting" on an answer when you just wanna know why I dont think harrel will win it.....Just cuz he's the team leader from GC and you came from there does not give him the award

[FalconsFootball]

As far as stars post goes (a couple pages back)  Where did you get your information from?  Look at the non-conference games from the past few years.  I agree it will be a good game, it always is in the first half, but like the past 4 out of 5 years CUW pulls away.  

As for Langston He may just be be defensive player of the year; its not all about stats.  You have to realize teams will create a gameplan entirely around him.  Its not just about stats and I know Harriel is a very good player, I take nothing away from him.  As far as #9 from Mac; he is no doubt a good athlete but I think I have seen him miss as many tackles as he has made.  

[d3ftball1]

 Greenville's JR Harriel was IBFC Deffence Player of the week for 10/4/06 and 10/10/06 so somebody must think he's pretty good!!

[d3ftball1]

Defensive Player of the week...sorry about the spelling.

[baseman201]

You know instead of posting a new reply you could just use the "modify" feature....

Just trying to help you out.

Whatever, they should just spice it up and pick a punter as IBC player of the year, then no one is angry that their guy doesn't get picked. 

So I nominate all punters from the IBC as players of the year

[bufan]

Im a little lost in this convo so someone catch me up to speed.  Did someone mention #9 from MAC is an All-American? cause i definitely looked and didnt see him on there.  Correct me if im wrong or just lost.  thanks

Also, having to block Langston on occasion I will say his is the best defensive player in this conference.  JR was difficult to block cause he was quick, for me being an o-lineman at least.  But langston was just a beast.  Him and that mike lloyd guy 2 years ago made for the least entertaining afternoon of football ive ever had.  thanks

[7400West]

baseman if the punters were the only nominees for POTY then it would be CUC's shoeless punter who was player of the week after they played EC, also the QB for CUC was potw after EC so if what you are saying (d3ftball1) then they are nominees for best player aswell........NO haveing a good week is not Year worthy!

I think Steinmetz is a better runner then Gillespie.

and stop talking about coach z being amazing, it is making my eyes hurt reading it!

IN TEN YEARS THE FACT IS THAT HE WILL HAVE MOVED ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS OR MOVED ON DOWN THE LADDER!

the way players are choosen for awards is so messed up that Langston will win it because of his press! and that is sad!

[sotha sil]

A big part of the players making so many tackles is the defense scheme...MAC's linebacker has free lancing ability....he can run around whereever he wants....he gets a lot of tackles but BAM he miss reads a play and its to the house for the other team...plus you have to look at how many times that the mac's tackles are down field for huge gains...CUW has a man for a gap...

A few years ago a CUW D-lineman won POY bc no one could run to his side
(not bc he led in tackles)...maybe thats what will happen for langston...CUW may have the best players at every position this year...its gonna be hard picking all conference backs and recievers from CUW bc they have to spread the ball so much and run so much...plus CUW has 4 possible 1st team guys but we all know not all can get 1st team so that will be interesting... best opposing player i have seen this year is that QB from CUC..thats includes MAC's LB...he might have had a better game against us than the QB from north central...ill stop blabbing,

peace

I like the props for CUC's QB, he works hard and takes stratigic chances!

I wasn't  saying anything about player of the year...I just said he was a good defensive player. I wouldn't say anything about player of the year I dont know enough about all the teams/players in the conference.

Superstar,
  From what I have heard, Hornung has a problem with his throwing shoulder and could not compete this season.  No word on whether he will play next year or not.
