In a completey unrelated note, did anyone read the story on ESPN.com about the 59 year old thats getting ready to suit up for a d3 school in Texas?  Amazing story if he gets some snaps..

Tru-

Don't expect too much from the scrimage. I imagine all teams now are still heavily into evaluating their squads. From my experience of watching scrimages, they simulate the NFL pre-season. In that the starters will play a series or two, and then the younger kids play so they can be evaluated. But it will give both teams a chance to hit someone else besides each other.

Have a good time, Wish I could go. I am going to some high school game this Friday just to get warmed -up

7400west -  Blackburn College is in Carlinville, 2 hours North of GC. 

Looking forward to the scrimmage and to see the recruits GC landed also. I hear ya on the whole 1st team done after a couple plays.   My fiance and I are heading to her high school alma mater to watch them open the season up Friday. Only 22 and high school seems a long long time ago.

I am going to take in the Elmhrst-Lakeland  scrimmage on Friday and then go see CUW-Carthage on Sat. I will report back on how they look. My neighbor was at the Lakeland intra squad scrimmage and said the defense dominated the offense. He said they can throw the ball, some big fast receivers. Also noted many injuries as several kids did not play. We will see this Friday.

Isnt Blackburn only 1 hour from Greenville?
I cant go to the game at Millikin Thursday so make sure you post how the game went.
Thanks

That reminds me...someone tell my why I should spend 10 or 5 bucks on that thing???

Because you might learn something about D-3 football beyond your favorite team or conference but the most important reason would be that the nominal price of $8.95 helps to support this site that you seem to enjoy using so much on a regular basis.   

I could care less about schools out side of the IBC!! As for supporting this site, I would love to..just let me know when the bake sale is! haahhaha

Thank you for the update, aparently Blackburn has had a good offseason of conditioning. It's all the site talks about, I would like to know a little more about their coach if any of you post pattern runners would like to take about him that would be great!

[7400West]

Also, everytime i come on this site i have to be hit with McDonalds chipotle bbq snack wrap!!! Consider that my ten bucks! hahaha

Obviously I'm biased, but I haven't seen the folks who read Kickoff imploring people to "Elevate the level of the discussion to more than talking points."

Clearly the board ain't cutting it. I wonder where people could find something to sink their teeth into.

Hmmm.

In other news, I got an e-mail from Dom Kegel today.

Nice work IBFC board. Karma for everyone ... 'cept 7400 West.

I'll keep you posted on that bake sale though, we'll be out for an IBFC and CCIW game Oct. 13th, maybe I can bring you a cookie.

No.

[New Tradition]

I've got an idea, why do you, NCAA Football, buy the 10 doller kick off scam thing and tell us about lakeland yourself!!!

I think you just answered your own question.  You wouldn't have to ask this and hope for a reply if  you bought the "ten dollar kick off scam thing."  You could look it up yourself!

[K-Mack]

Basically.

I love that no one is answering the questions.

Clearly our boy here has a lack of respect for the time, effort and money it has taken to keep this site up and running and FREE for the past 7 years. The only people that benefit from the five or nine bucks you're gonna spend on a value meal anyway is you. More coverage, fancy message board, etc. ... I know most of you get it, and 7400 will say he's just kidding.

But I know certain people who should who have never taken a salary for their work here.

Times are hard, it is certainly your right not to buy it. But to show the kind of disdain you have for someone who provides a site for free, frankly, makes you look like a real [jerk].

[realistic]

7400 - As Keith said, maybe times are hard...but stop being an idiot about it.  $8.95 for full coverage of 200+ teams across the country?  This is a scam?

Come on.  for those of us who are on here year round (or even periodically) it's $.02 a day for that coverage...that you can't get anywhere else.

[Pat Coleman]

Believe he's a former player -- perhaps he's upset he wasn't mentioned in a previous year.

However, I personally wrote the IBFC capsules in 2005 and 2006, so I know that they were well-written, all of the coaches were interviewed at length, and players mentioned were ones the coaches thought would make an impact.

Sorry you don't think it's worth your effort. This board is here for you to vent on and post on regardless, as long as you don't violate the Terms of Service.
