Ralph Turner:
   I thought 7400West ment MacMurray but just spelled it in-correctly.
   That seems to happen with some regularity on this forum.
   You are correct in your call.

[Ralph Turner]

Yeah, I can understand familiarity and jargon, but there are about five pairs of schools in D3 in which precision is crucial.

Bridgewater College VA and Bridgewater State Massachusetts
Wheaton College IL and Wheaton Massachusetts
Clarke College IA and Clark Massachusetts
MacMurray IL and McMurry TX
D3 Newbury Massachusetts and D2 Newberry SC

We have not even started on the Concordia's and the Johnson and Wales'.

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.

Don't forget about Tyke...

I did...my fault...I felt like he wasn't a transfer for whatever reason...he just came in with the awesome work ethic and his brother and father allready being staples of NCC he just never really had a "transfer" feeling to him, but he did indeed transfer from Indiana

Haha, yeah there are alot of Concordias out there

Concordia St. Paul, Minnesota - D-II
Concordia Bronxville, New York - D-II
Concordia Chicago, Illinois - D-III
Concordia Mequon, Wisconsin - D-III
Concordia Austin, Texas - D-III
Concordia Seward, Nebraska - NAIA
Concordia Irvine, California - NAIA
Concordia Ann Arbor, Michigan - NAIA
Concordia Portland, Oregon - NAIA
Concordia Selma, Alabama - USCAA

Also you can't forget Concordia Moorehead - D-III, though they have no affiliation with any of the other Concordias or the Concordia University system.

Yeah, could get confusing with 10 Concordias around the nation, but in the same good to see that many as well.

COUGARS!!!!

AU had three NIU transfers in 2000-01.  All three graduated, all three were solid players, not one was an all-american.  They were good players with huge frames.  We had better/ more productive players who were smaller/quicker.  They were great guys, good players. 

[NCC_alum62]

My frehsman year at NCC I think AU had a transfer RB from Northwestern, we played against him in a JV game and he completly ran over one of our DE/OLB's, but he was taken out pretty quick.  AU let thier varsity play for a bit because of 9/11 postponing or canceling the first game or something.

As a former Mac player from the mid 90's it shames me to read some of the posts and bashing that former players are doing.  Football is the ultimate team sport and to be worried about ind records is a joke.  Yes, I agree it sucks what the AD did by not giving those who earned their 4 yr letters the due repect they deserve.  I played on some real sh** teams, but we never complained and whinned like some on this board are doing.  I only saw 2 games this yr (Rockford & Lakeland) what I saw was horrible play.  A change had to be made with the coach the team looked like 22 individuals only worried about themselves.  Mac did the right thing by letting McCray go.  Now it's time to put your support behind the new coach and future players and hope they get back to the glory of the late 90's and early 2000's.

mac_7_seven:  Did Coach McCray coach at Mac during their so-called glory years?

  Can you clarify what you ment by, " their so called glory years" ? 
    Plus a time frame. 
   Coach McCray was at Mac . Hired by HC Frey as the O line coach and took over as HC when Frey moved on to greener pastures ( so he thought) at
  Tri- State.

yes McCray was there in the the glory yrs.  Some coachs are excellant position coach others are excellant cordinators and others are excellant HC. He may have been and from what i am told was a good pos & cord coach.  All I'm saying is he was not a good HC.

Not to mention that recruiting wasnt one of his strong points.  I agree though, he was a decent position coach though.

I noticed Benedictine is advertising 4 part time assistant coaches and 1 full time assistant coach/recruiter for next year.

I hear former Glenbard West head coach, John Karpowicz, has signed on to the Benedictine program.  Nice catch for Cooper.
