Mac made a good move to save their program.  And yes after viewing them today versus a pathetic Eureka team, not only do they need an O-line (short-fat-and slow doesn't cut it-hs teams have better lines than these clowns) but they need a complete overhaul on defense!  Eureka scores 30 on you - GO HOME!!!  You stink!  Bring back BOB FREY - he won there and will win again if given the chance!  Whoever wrote the junk above about Mac closing down - get a life! Are Carlton and Tesfa your buddies or something?  When you inherit a program which is winning and you "turn it around" the other way, BYE BYE!  Can all of your O-line starters and overhaul your defense!  BOB FREY IS THE ANSWER!

as the score shows, it was a rough game for CUC. GC came to play and scored on an offensive turnover and capitalized on another. Sucks when CUC's starting QB and Center are out of the game but no excuses.

Another thing, cancel out LC's coach and CUW's coach getting Coach of the Year. GC's coach is an amazing coach and showed much class during and after the game. I was out on the field (with the other fans) and GC's coach went over to CUC's huddle and addressed them with a great message. He said to be committed to the program and compared them with GC and told them how CUC has improved. True class.

As for GC's players, they also played with class, very good team and as a viewer you could see what their program is really about.

Congrats to AU, hope you handed LC their asses, they deserve anything they got.

KEEP UP THE HARD WORK CUC!!!

See I like this guy because he supports a coach such as frey, ya frey was great, ya he won back to back conference titles. But did you also know he lowered the academic standards to let some of his "prize" athletes in. Lets review some of them Steve Ballinger is in prison and a few others that graduated with criminal justice degrees cannot pursue that caree because of there history with being arrested. The football house that was caught with weed and counterfitting money, But you must have known that, Because frey is the best coach ever. The fact of the matter is frey recruited low life scum that were only good at playing football and nothing else. COLLEGE IS FOR GETTING A DEGREE AND GETTING READY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, VERY LITTLE ATHLETES GO ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS AT THE D-III LEVEL. FREY WAS A BULLY AND A ASS AT THAT ALSO.

   Coach Frey burned to many bridges when he left Mac for Tri-State.
     Doubtful if he will return to Mac, IMO.

It is about time that Mac gets a new program. It was going down hill as soon as coach Rogers left. He should have been the head coach. The coaches there now play favorities and don't follow through with rules. Watching the games from the stands this season you could tell that the coaches don't care. I don't blame the players for the recored this year. I blame the coaching staff. I just hope that Mac can get their program up again at least their getting rid of the coaches thats a major start!!!!!

I guess a 10-0 record doesnt get you any where, huh?  How much hate is their for IBC? apparently a lot.  A 3 loss Linfield team and 2 loss Ithica team, coming off of losses both have just enough votes to stay at 24 and 25.  Very interesting.

[baseman201]

Alot of hate because....oh yeah, we are the weakest conference in D-III football, they do take that into consideration hence the 5-3 Linfield team being ranked 24th.

CUW wouldn't be 10-0 in a majority of the other conferences, so it comes as no surprise to me that they didn't crack the top 25 again.  Now if CUW beat every team in the IBC by 50 every game, then maybe they are in the top 25 mix, but they had some close games with teams from the "weakest" conference in D-III (CUC, Greenville) so of course they didn't make the final ranking.

Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.  Now all CUW has to do is prove that their 10-0 means something against the powerhouse team they will face in the first round.  Who will it be anyhow?

[Mr. Ypsi]

It aint hate, and while you're not the worst conference in d3, objectively you've got to admit to being in the bottom five.

FWIW, I'd put CUW at 21-22, but I don't have a vote.

[7400West]

anyone else unable to log on for awile! I sure was! did i get sent to my room!

[Pat Coleman]

Yes.

[Gomer Pyle]

 Here`s an interestimg stat.
    Guess who (in the IBC) is ranked in the "Top 100 rushers in Div-3?"
     A. Gillespie, CU-W: He`s ranked #16.
     P.  Ereg, MacMurray: He`s ranked #41
     Nobody else!  Not in the Top 100 anyway.

   

[bufan]

Baseman, i see your point and i understand the perception voters have of the IBC.  But CUW was ranked 26th last week with 49 votes i believe, the receive two more votes up to 51 and the two teams that lost their 3rd and 2nd games of the season are 24th and 25th?  It appears like a conscious attempt to not put an IBC team in the top 25.  I get the impression that maybe they dont want to give CUW the respect they deserve. And thats what the rankings mean, they are a measuring stick of respect.

I seriously doubt there is a grand conspiracy to keep the IBC out of the top 25.  CUW is going to the playoffs.  Win a playoff game and all of the respect and ranking will be there.  You have to admit, the IBC's record in the playoffs is dismal.  I was impressed by CUW this year.  I think they are a good team.  Now, can they win a playoff game that will probably be at home?   Here's their chance to make a statement for themselves and the conference.

[bufan]

CardinalAlum, your absolutely right and i purposely didnt use the word conspiracy because that wasnt quite my intention of what i said.  But yeah, a playoff win will change that a little bit.

[lil sparty]

Twisted2 and Da1 - it was easy to take shots at the squad earlier, but where are you now that they have won 4 straight?  I have heard of fair weather fans, but you guys may be the first fair weather haters i have ever known.  I know you guys wanna bring some love to the squad!
