FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

You know I bet a while back though that kids did go to college based on the religious affiliation of the college and themselves. I know that i went to mac because it was methodist based and I felt that it could help me better understand the "methodist ways".

But now it really is not a big deal what you follow. catholic methodist, baptist...

I still find it funny though that TV can say damn and b%itch and what not but not God. Its funny, and you see athletes pray or point to him after big things or as a ritual.

Cougswillwin;

I replied to Marcus on a question that CUC does recruit the Luthern schools as they should. No mention of the fact that Luthern,Catholic or any private school does not have Athletes. Of course they do. I just made the point that CUC admin. wanted to recruit their fair share of athletes from the Luthern High schools. This was a large discussion point on an interview from one of the candidates, per his comments to me.


Gomer;

Thanks for the update on the undefeated Lakeland team. The previous question from someone to me was if Hynes when coaching was the coach who had an undefeated season. 2005 was Coach Z. Yu may know what Hynes's record was. I sure do not.

NCC_Alum-

The Concordia schools are Catholic?

Where did you get this information?  All Concordia schools are part of the LCMS system, which is the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, there are no Catholic affiliations at all, all Lutheran based Universities.

The only Concordia not part of the LCMS is Concordia Moorhead, but still Christian based of course.  The 10 other Concordias all Lutheran.

Marcus/Cougswillwin, things looking good in Cougarland?  Can't wait to get to a game.

    You said in part," Yu may know what Hynes`s record was. I sure do not."
     I`m not sure of the years he was the coach there. If somebody knows for ..."sure"  then we can get the answer.

 Old 40:

   Did some research and came up with the following. 

    Football Archives...........2002 Press release......Resignation.
    " Hynes, the 13th head coach in Lakeland history guided the Muskies
      to a 19-22 record during his tenure," Which, I believe, was 4 years.
    He resigned (at Lakeland)  to take the same position( Football Coach) at Concordia U, River Forest.

Whoops...got two different types mixed up there.  There is another group of schools that are catholic, but the Concordia schools are Lutheran...my mistake.  The St. Joeseph's, Thomas's, John's are all catholic

   Karma -30?   I`m thinking sombody put a "curse" on your postings. 

I know and at first I didn't really care about it but now it is getting annoying. The person or persons are abusing the system because I haven't said anything negatively and have been having a convo with old 40. I don't know what the deal is but its crap.

[old 40]

Thanks Gomer, Great job on the research. This answers Marcus's question on Jeff Hynes record  at Lakeland.

Anyone hear news about Greenville? I think everyone will have to be ready for this outfit this year. If they don't they will get beat by Greenville.  The big question in this years race is, Will anyone run the tables in the last season. I don't think anyone will go undefeated in the IBFC this year the final year. Any opinions?

[Pat Coleman]

haha, check it out...more negative karma

real mature.

People tend to "reward" complaints about negative karma with more negative karma.

Don't feel too bad...

Touchdown Tommie from the MIAA board in the west region has a -850 karma, but I'm pretty sure thats a running gag on the MIAA board.

Greenville:
     Had a great year in 2006. Finished 2nd over-all and tied for 2nd in the IBFC.
    If all goes well they will have their QB back who will be a Jr this fall.
    Seems like he does more damage with his legs than arm as he has a
    4+ yard rushing  avg.  Journey-man QB, IMO but gets the job done.
    Their  top RB was a senior so he`s gone. Plus their most productive
    receiver was also a senior and he`s gone as well. 
    Looking at the 2006 stats these are the guys that did the most damage for Greenville. Not that there weren`t others but these(3)  were leaders
    in their categories.
    Was 2006 an anomaly for Greenville where for a change, they had the horses to run with the big boys and almost got the flag to the top of the hill or will they  revert back to the Greenville of old and slowly fade to a level more becoming to their talent level?
  If they can re-tool  with equal talent can they again seriously challenge
   for the title?   Opinions??

Gomer;

Good points on Greenville. IMO their Offense despite the loss of key vets will be OK but their defense also took a big hit in loss personnel, great LB gone, not likely to replace with someone who is as good. I also heard the have a RB that will be good coming in. I think they can surprise people if they are not ready for them. Depth may also be a factor for them on Defense.

Does anyone know if any of the conference schools got Football facility upgrades from last year? IMO, some need major upgrades. Also are any of the schools going to the NAC going to schedule any of the SLIAC teams as non-conference games for the future? IMO there were some rivalries like Mac and Aurora (They have had some good spirited games in the past), I hope they continue to play.

Yup, they tried to keep him at -666 and were successful for a while but they couldn't sustain it and gave up!

Old 40:
      If Greenville can continue to improve their football program (getting
      better players as that`s the only way they are going to challenge for anything. Then last year will not have been a one and done kind of thing.
     One thing about D-3 football, you never know for "sure" who`s  on the roster till  the coach starts counting heads at the start of camp.
     If your a follower of Greenville football then future comments  about their  program are always welcomed. 
     As far as MacMurray and Aurora goes, in the past (2001-2002) games were power for power as both had great personnel.
     Aurora over the long haul has had the better players. Mac, for a couple
     of years, was the superior team. 
    Aurora will continue to have good teams and MacMurray will become the
     step-child of the SLIAC.  IMO. 
    I say that because I`d don`t believe Mac  (admin.) is fully committed to
     their football program.

Maddog Alert: 
     Has anyone seen or heard from Maddog?  Next month is the start of football camp and no......Maddog!
     Guys that have been here for awhile know we are missing one  of the
   IBFC`s best  prognosticators!  Oh, and least I forget, one of the biggest
   "HOMERS" to ever grace this forum.    They call him," Mr Lakeland ."
    He is solid in his team/player evaluations plus as a bonus, his year ending. " Maddog Team of the year" is well thought out and the chosen ones giver their "due." 
    Search all broom closets and other out of the way places as Maddog
    could be pulling a Rip Van Winkle.
