Buy Kickoff and find out. Duh.

  Guys, Pat told you where to find that information .  All you have to do is pony up the money to buy Kickoff and your good to go.
   Your doing some nice detective work but you get no cigar for your efforts.

Here`s one for all you Cougar fans. I didn`t believe it even when i read it!
   Guess what team was the  Conference Champions  in 1983 and 1987?
    Your Cougars that`s who. Back then the school was  called Concordia,Il.
    Now it`s called Concordia U of Chicago.........as you all know.
    The source: Answers.com 
   How come none of you Cougar "believers" know anything about football
    history at CUC ? 
    I guess it`s more fun to babble then do any research. 
    Cougars lose by more than 4TD`s to Lakeland or maybe LC gives them
    a beat-down like they did to Mac a few years ago. 
    Course, if you guys ( believers) are correct and CUC is back then that
   won`t happen and like 7400West said, " CUC takes LC by 2 TD`s.
   I wish the Cougare well...really!
   
   
   
   
   
   

you might be good a research but suck at predictions!!!

I never said three transfers from the University of Texas, folks. Texas is a state.

And transfers are not always good on the field or off the field.

His predictions are a lot better than yours. Lakeland I can confirm and will beat CUC by at least 4touchdowns.. They have way to many players coming back... they will shut out majority of the teams in the conference by far the best defense in the conference this year..  They have the best QB/WR tandom back as well on offense. They lost a coach who obviously did not care about them. I hear everything is coming together great at the Muskies Camp.

[madfrog]

Gomer-

Granted 7400 is a little enthusiastic but you said CUC may barely win 2 games if someone fails to show up. 

What about Blackburn and Eureka?  I think those are 2 games they will easily win, they play hard and stay in their other games who knows right?

80+ players is the most CUC has had in a long time, if ever.  But we shall see in a couple weeks now won't we.

of those 80+ are athletes, something that cuc has lacked in the past. The last couple days of camp have shown that CUC has some players on the team that can bench and run!!! The team is stronger! the only thing that holds them back is their youth, But coaching will take care of that!! CUC is much better then a One game winning team!!! i still feel that Lakeland will lose by two touchdowns, and I really dont feel I am out of my mind! CUC was one the only conf. team last year to give CUW a run for their money!!! remember!!!!!!

Lakeland has +90 athletes and everyone can run and bench press omg this calculates to wins wins I tell you. What on earth you mean by bench press, you really dont want me to go dropping lakelands bench numbers you will get embaressed.  The day a bench press adds up to Beating a more dominate team than you by 2TDS, my teams will never leave the weight room and suit up.

Mad Frog;
Good points but strength is only one key part of dominating teams. Strength is great as long as it goes with speed and endurance. IMO, if a team is superior in these three aspects then it will be a bad day for the opponent.

I agree that many people will overlook Lakeland this year because of the transition but they have some athletes and some speed so they will be competitive. I think Lakeland Greenville, Aurora and Benedictine will give CUW all they want and then some. The other teams in the league will have to prove they belong by knocking off one of the 5. I do think CUC will get someone this year especially if their opponent is not ready to play them. This would be a big step for them this year.

Maddog;
The Lakeland QB is good but I don't know if he is the best in the league at this stage of the year. Greenville and CUC have QB's with alot of skill. I would say going into the season they are the top 3 QB's. They may have the best threee receivers, certainly the tallest, at 6'6'', 6'4", 6'3". If a roundball game breaks out they should be OK.

I hope everyone has purchased the Preview. A small price to support D3football.

Good Luck to everyones teams this year.

[7400West]

well..Madfrog.

Cuc has got 70+ and i am sure alot of teams have more then 11 but i might be mistaken but I thought football teams could only play 11 players at a time??? I could be wrong! With coachs like Big cat williams and stronger OL it will be alot closer then a  td blow out like you and other think, CUC will win by two td's!!!

Gomer...We all knew about our '83 and '87 teams...thanks for the reminder though.

CUC will be better then that!

Prove it....That preseason poll seems to not really flow....Honestly thats an improvement 7400 you should be content.....AU will finish at the top as they always do who will join them we shall see....GC? CUW? would be my guess...4th my butt

[Fartcus Smellwood]

Gomer, thanks for your moronic post....it was helpful to remind us Cougar fans of when Concordia was conference champs. Like someone previously said, what does 1983 and 1987 have to do with anything??? Why does everyone take CUC out of the mix of beating the Conference Champs of last year when they were 1 of the 3 teams that kept it close? I am glad everyone has an opinion, thats what this board is for obviously. Why should a fan of the Cougars be content with being looked at as finishing in 6th? Oh wait, I forgot... their past is horrible. CUC probably had the most freshmen starting in all conference games last year and kept it close in some games. Being 18 and being 19-22 plays a big difference in college ball. 1-3 more year of experience at the college level is a big difference. Give the players some credit and be ready for a great year at Concordia University of Chicago.

PS the Lakeland vs CUC game will be a great game...the best thing about this season is watching those turds get squashed by Whitewater...I know we are supposed to be proud of our conference but it is always fun to watch them get a taste of their own medicine.

Everyone have a wonderful day and....

GO COUGARS

[Genius]

for a team that hasn't won but a few games in the last upteen years- CUC certainly is a main topic on this board. It probably is one of the few football chat rooms where the worst teams get the most print than the top teams.

Fartcus, just because you a player is young doesn't mean he has good potential. Unfortunately many players for CUC don't have a lot of talent. So although they will get better as they grow I suspect the roster will still need massive overhaul to really compete.

Not many talented players go to bad football programs. There is a reason players go to CUC instead of a CCIW school. Because they aren't good enough for the CCIW schools.
