Well, just spoke with a friend at CUC and it is confirmed that they are getting two D-I transfer RB's this year.  One from a D-I AA in South Carolina and another from Northern Illinois.

They are also getting some size at the O line position which is needed.

All in all this past year CUC had the most players it has had in years, and they will have even more this year.  Things are really starting to come together over there, and the big jump will be this year.

I guess we will just have to wait and see, but mark my words........CUC WILL beat teams this year they haven't beaten lately or have never beaten at all........mark it down kids.

Transfers mean nothing unless they can produce...I've seen transfers come and go in some programs and never do a thing. At NCC we had a 6'7 340 lb OL transfer from Arkansas Pine Bluff (D-IAA) some years ago and he was horrible.  The O-Line coach at the time said we should all fear for our jobs...But we worked hard in the off-season and this kid sat on his butt and when spring ball and fall camp came around he could barely get in a stance...

Just because someone is comming from someplace "higher" doesn't mean they may not come with attitude, baggage, and poor work ethic (or poor ethic in general)

I can only remember one truely good/great transfer in my time there and he was an OLB from NIU who worked hard and had a good ethic...playing next to Lenny Radke he didn't get much press but he was solid.

Well I honestly think this will definately help CUC more then hurt them.

A D-I transfer at CUC is big news, especially if they have a chance to help the team right away.

Sure there is always a chance they may do nothing, but it's exciting news for CUC and that's all that matters at this point.

Doesn't help to be negative.

Its not negativity...its being realistic. Transfers can be welcome additions its true, but its not something any coach wants to build a program on.  They are usually quick fixes that get a year or two and are done or out of eligibility. CUC having more players incomming as freshman and sticking around is the better guage for improvment.

Its gonna take a lot to work on improving CUC, thy may get more than one W but it would take a lot more than two transfers and some newbies but we'll have to wait and see, IMO I think they will struggle again but play a lot of teams close, I just dont think they can hang with CUW, Lakeland, AU, or Greenville

 CU-C`s record over the past 5 years, 2002 thru 2006  : Conference- 3wins- 32 L`s.
   Overall: 4wins with 46 L`s.
   I`d say they have lots of work to do.

i would like to say that yes we do have some work to do but i feel that we are improved and like all teams it takes time but this year we are coming ready to compete.. I feel anyone can hang with anyone in the conference on any given saturday but as for CUC we are will be ready i feel we can hang with anyone... i wish all the teams good luck this summer in training and cant wait for next year

GO COUGARS!!!

[baseman201]

Gomer-

I never said they didn't have lots of work to do, they definately do.

I am not saying they will be 10-0 this season, they need to progress a step at a time.  Maybe a 500 record this year, 7-3 next year, then who knows.

it does take time to build a good program I agree.

In 1999 Monmouth college was 2-8, in 2000 they were 3-7, and then in 2001 they went 8-2.  And since then they have been consistent with winning seasons, going 39-12 since that time.

I guess just depends on who sticks around for 4 years and who leaves after just 1.

Hello, I know I know, it just has not been the same here with out me, But i am back and stronger then ever!!

I see that there are some new faces around, cougarqb4 for example...I have to ask is that a 4 as in Mr. Farve or 4 as in four years of cuc football?

Oh, and everyone who is cuc hating...relax, this team is getting comfy with the great staff they have, and Pries is working the players hard, and the best part is that the quality of life around cuc is really getting better, it is really a great time to be a cougar! The team is close and the coaches are on a level with the players the cuc has not seen in a very long time, maybe the 80's or 70's. the point is, that the cougars are a team that you have to practice for now. Last years showing with CUW and the overwhelming defeat of Eurika are too reasons why each team has to worry a little when they play cuc. Oh and have a mentioned BIG CAT!!! that is right everyone, CUC has a pro on the staff, and let me tell you something! He Is massive and a great teacher of the OL position! I want to see joe shmo OL coach of Mcmurry out coach BIG CAT!!! I know that the coaches don't play the games, which is why the cougars have some work to do. It is no summer vaca for them. Hard work and work are on the menu for everyone who wants to see success!!! Coach P has made that very clear! I am pumped for the season and would like all of you to come out and see us in action!

Oh and if  the rumors are true about he d1 form Northern Ill? and if it is who i thing he is, he had an awsome high school career, but had some major off the field problems. I played agaisnt him and he could run, and that is good considering he is a running back! Lets just hope that if it is who i think it is and he comes to cuc, he has grown up and is not a cancer on the team, we have gotter rid of the cancers and are looking forward to a great season of many victorys!!!!

I know this is old but I just happened to glance back a few pages and realize that MAC's own former players were talking trash on this up and coming team. Like I said I know this is old but I wanna get this off my chest so everyone can read this...I'll start with u Anthony B, I really dont know u that well but I'm sure u were good when u were at MAC. Next is Larry P. Bro realize Scotty was and always has been better than u...WE ALL KNOW IT. No more trash talkin. Yes u were hella good tho. Last, Pete...or should I say catch 22. U of all people I am disappointed in. Many looked up to u. I was one of em'. Then I read on this damn message board all the crap u been sayin. Was all that really necessary??? Man, that's stupid!!! I can't believe u would say something like that. U know I was gonna come on here and bash the hell outta u but I'm not gonna go to ur level. But I guess I already did by making a stupid name and coming on this board. Just know its wrong what u did and I no longer look up to u. And this team at MAC is going to accomplish something u never did...AND I HOPE u will be there to see it....OH and this isnt spuhler!
