MidwestFB-- I just glanced at some of the Karmas on this board and was shocked to see the -25, -10, etc. Don't you guys (IBFC posters) ever compliment each other by dishing out + Karma?

Think about this...CUW has now lost 20 seniors...gone are: a 4 time 1st team all conference player, three 3time 1st team all conference players, a group that had 19 first team all-conference selections, an oline of year, two dline of year, wr of year, db of year, and player of year...

My point was...that will be tough to replace

Genius-

Here's another reality check for you-

Of GRN 13 all conferences players only 5 return

Of AU 16 all conference players 11 return

I gotta wonder why u picked the name Genius.

AU not only wins the conference next season - they win the first IBFC post season playoff game

Thats a handy piece of info right there

Fatal (or anybody) how many returnees does Lakeland have coming back?
Very early to be discussing next year's champion and a lot can happen over the Spring/Summer Months.

Congrats on a great season CUW.

P.S. Look for Twisted2 in the stat. spotlight next week. I have a turkey game back home and I typically put up CRAZY L.T.ish numbers. Don't be suprised if I rush for over 300 yards and score 6 TD's.

ptownhero · November 20, 2006, 07:30:04 PM

Genius

I am wondering where you got your information about Mac White not playing in the AU game. The stats show he played and it proves that AU is a better team than what you believe they are.

Aufb05-

Come on, sure AU may win conference next year, but like someone else said a little too early to be talking about that.

But, they may win conference yes, but will get spanked in the first round just like CUW this past year, the IBC will not win a playoff game ever in its existence. We Will have to wait for the NAC to start to maybe get a team who can win a playoff game....and even then it's pretty iffy.

CUW should just go ahead and join the CCIW. It would only make them better instead of playing in a weak conference and being allowed to get away with being predictable and simply not showing up for some games and winning.

Fartcus Smellwood · November 20, 2006, 10:09:40 PM

congrats on the great season CUW, NCC was just a better team and from what it seems, by far. What would be the point of throwing CUW to the CCIW, its like feeding hungry sharks. Some of the teams in that conference would destroy them. As for the IBFC never winning a playoff game, it will never happen in the NAC either. Just getting rid of GC, MAC and EU and adding other poop isn't going to make things better. As for AU winning conference next year... I will not comment because then it will just add on to all the nonsense that has already been being talked about. I am glad though, AU fans have strong feelings but you can't have your own opinion toward the school without getting b*tched at and then getting a crapload of - karma points slapped onto your name. Ehh, oh well...AU will not win conference next year. Sorry guys.

lboogie99 · November 20, 2006, 10:19:29 PM

yeah cardinal dad, that's what i was referring too. But again does anyone, know anything about Ralph Young?

bufan · November 20, 2006, 10:51:32 PM

Im afraid MarcusEllwood is right. It will be a long time before the NAC wins a playoff game as well. Like he said, if you take poop away and add different poop, nothing changes, really. Yes a move for any team from the IBC to the CCIW would result in consistent 3-4, 2-5 records, maybe a 4-3 year if the stars are aligned.

To join a conference, you first have to be invited by the current members. It's not as easy as crashing someone else's party. And there is zero chance that the CCIW is going to extend an invitation to CUW. The league is perfectly happy with its current eight-school setup.

And I doubt the CCIW is looking to invite another Wisconsin team due to travel expenses for the Augustana, Millikin and Illinois Wesleyan games.

Part of the reason Carroll College dropped out of the CCIW was due to travel expenses.
