FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[79jaybird]

Congratulations to Concordia-WI on their IBFC title and playoffs.  The rematch is set for next Saturday in another "Bird Bowl" clash.  When we (Elmhurst) plays NC we refer to that game as the annual "Bird Bowl", but now we have a playoff clash of the birds. 
As I said before, I think the advantage rests with the team that has "revenge" on their minds, which is a little extra essence to keep their emotional levels elevated.  Should be a good game in Milwaukee.  I am hoping Pat summons me to either Wheaton  or this game for commentating, but we will have to see what happens.  If I am not at this game, best of luck to both teams.

I found the post Fatal and it wasn't you bashing players and neither did baseman. I know baseman wouldn't do that, he is a better person than that. Sorry for accusing you.

CUW, good luck on Saturday...I was going to try and make it but Ohio St./Michigan game is on and also the paperview for UFC afterwards...so I send you my best wishes.

(gotta end it with some kind of smiley face)

   CU-W vs North Central................
     This looks to be the best chance The IBC has in winning an NCAA play-off
      game since MacMurray lost in the last few seconds to Thomas Moore a
     few years ago. 
     CU_W knows it can beat NC as they`ve done it once before in a tight
      game and NC knows what they have to do this time around. 
     Who`s in Who`s head? 
      Neutral field, beat them once, un-defeated, a ton of pressure riding on
       the outcome. No, make that history making outcome.
     CU-W can finally......... put the IBC on the map and quill the critics once
     and for all.
     I`m ready to put the pressure on them, CU-W will win this game,period!!
     Hope some of you guys get to see the game and give us the details.

It should be close.....Hey what about AU only losing by a touchdown to Wooster in 2004 that was a close battle the entire way..Trust me that was a very close game

Godd luck CUW.

It should be close.....Hey what about AU only losing by a touchdown to Wooster in 2004 that was a close battle the entire way..Trust me that was a very close game

  You are correct. Wooster had an All-American, do everything running back and  AU almost pulled off the win. Great, great game by AU none the less but  as the say," close but no cigar."
   I really feel this year will be different, for CU_W that is.
  CU_W players get THE Ring and an NCAA play-off win. Hey, they need the pressure. Those memories will  last a life time.

so ummm...anything else to talk about now other than CUW??? Any of you guys follow your basketball teams?

[mac_7_seven]

i know it is early... Any ideas who Mac may hire as a new coach?

[mac_5_seven]

This guy maybe?

[Gomer Pyle]

This guy maybe?

   He was a winning coach while at Mac, then he left for greener pastures!
     His Head Coaching record at Tri_State over 2 years was 1-19, or close to
     it.
    He didn`t deliver so they, Tri-State, let him go.
    Then he shows up at Olivet as a line coach. Somebody on the forum
     found that out. Was that you?
    Point is, When a HC dishes a school for what ever reason, his name
    should not go back into the hat. He doesn`t deserve a second bite at the
    apple, IMO.
     When he was at Mac he had the "horses"..... The records speak for
       themselves.
     At Tri-State  had "ponies"......the record speaks for it self.
     Makes you wonder how good of a coach he really is/was. 
    As Mac will be in a NEW conference next year( i guess) maybe they need
      to look in a new direct for a Head Coach as well.

okay, is this new conference thing happening this up-coming season or the season of 08??? I am hearing things left and right and just was wondering if anyone knew for sure. thanks.

Score for Saturday:

CUW 28 NCC 24

anyone else got a score idea?

[79jaybird]

Over on the CCIW Pick Em's I posted my score/prediction of the NC/CUW game.

North Central 30
Concordia WI 17

I think the Cardinals have the revenge factor on their side and in the playoffs, that is a big booster in crunch time.  I think this is close until the 4th quarter, when NC pulls away with their veteran Quarterback.

I tend to agree with jaybird, NCC showed they can beat an offense similar to the one CUW runs.  In fact they held Augie scoreless.  I dont think they will hold CUW scoreless. I hope it is a good game.

[baseman201]

I agree with jaybird as well

I think NCC wins by the 14-20 point range.  Like everyone said before revenge is a huge factor and I think they stick it to CUW. 

I say maybe NCC wins 35-15 or something close to that.

And the conference will begin for football in 08, though every other sport is beginning the NAC this year.

[FatalImpact]

Contrary to the posts before me, I think CUW pulls off an upset (even though they won before, and I believe they're the underdogs) and wins this game by one or two touchdowns
