I know I'm a Mac grad, but I think she has many things right. First of all, I know about all the dirty play tactics of the past that people on this board always complained about, and from what I heard around campus, at least some of it was true. But you have to commend a coach who's coming in and at least trying to clean up their act. Secondly, I think this is what we can call "rebuilding." This is a large scale comparison but look at MLB. The Rockies and the Diamondbacks in the NLCS? Nobody would have predicted that.

I know Coach Sweeney's not winning games but the fact that the freshman class is succeeding academically is astounding, considering that in years past half of all freshmen transferred because they thought they were gonna come in and be all-star football players, and then they didn't even play. So no, I'm not saying an 0-10 season or a 1-9 season is a good thing, but don't completely tear them down.

It was a little iffy before the half. 3-0 at the end of the 1st, 10-0 by the half. Offense musta got reamed in the locker room cuz they stepped up to the plate in the 2nd half. It's gonna be interesting next week against LC... here's where the IBC title is decided.

Gomer Pyle · October 14, 2007, 07:04:03 AM

Greenville----54
Eureka.........14

Greenville finally gets an IBC win.

MacMurray - 18

It was 42-0 at half time.

Final score: Cheese heads 49
MacMurray, "The School of Higher Learning".....18.

Cheese Heads play a "real" game next week against The Boys from Mequon while Mac continues on it`s quest for a perfect season which now stands at 0-6 over-all.
4 more losses and they will go down in infamy.......0-10.
They will will have the distinction of being the first team in MacMurray
football history, dating to 1985, to go .............0-10! Now there`s
something special to hang your hat on.

Macinsidelady · October 14, 2007, 01:01:38 PM

Well, I have to admit, you guys are fun.

Gomer... "The School of Higher Learning"... I know you meant that as a slam but, I like it!! When I read it, I was, like.. No WAY! Gomer, Totally did not just SAY that!

And, I may come off like a valley girl in print (just trying to be humble and acquiesce when I'm a guest on a board). However, my husband is thankful I have no experience playing football. The truth is, I DO know academics and I recognize a rebuilding effort when I see one. Thanks mac_grad for reading my intentions... and congrats to Coach Sweeney and his boys for scoring in the double-digits. I wish I could have been there to cheer them on.

See you all soon... but, of course, it won't be in the locker room.

Au will beat BU, we went through this same song and dance last year, AU will win, CUC was never the favorite in the conference therefore BU beating them is not a shocker, AU wins

What happened to the mighty mighty Spartans?

FatalImpact · October 14, 2007, 06:28:01 PM

Well I know where your allegiance lies....Anyway it was a hard fought game, AU deserved to win

old 40 · October 14, 2007, 07:34:26 PM

Looks like GC made up for the last few weeks of getting L's. Congrats to the GC and BU.

Fatal Impact;
If AU deserved to win they would of won. I wonder why AU did not kick the FG on 4th. down in OT? Just befor BU has it's chance. AU"s defense is one of the better defenses in the league. Worst case, the score is still tied. AU will rebound big against the Cougars for Homecoming/Senior Day.

CUW vs Lakeland should be interesting. Was anyone at the LC and Mac game? How do they score on LC, unless it was a JV game. The game stats suggest that and it also suggest the the fish had turnovers early. That will get them beat by 21 at CUW. The Falcons have a good take away advantage and have not made many mistakes. LC may be the fastest team they have played. I hope it is a good game. Anyone's thoughts?

Mac is doing all that it can with a young squad. The fact of the matter is things needed to be cleaned up at Mac, and hopefully they are now. Don't knock the fact tghat Mac players are making grades. One of the biggest problems at Mac has been good players flunking out or getting in too much trouble off the field. That has been what has kept them from being consistently at the top of the conference. Even when Mac won the conference back to back this was an issue. Remeber Freshmen first team OL Maurice Smith back in 2002, where was he in "03, All Conference center from '02 same scenario, 6'6 reciever Mack (booted from team), All conference punt returner-DB Jared Grant(grades), the list can go on and on. I know because I was a member of those championship teams. Mac dug themselves this hole and hopefully they can come out of it the right way. No one could expect Mac to do much of anything this year given their current roster. So as far as I am concerned hold Mac accountable from now, under the Sweeney regime, not the past. Sometimes change is for the better.

I was at the LC vs Mac game. There were 2 Turnovers early which stalled drives by LC, 1 was a fumble inside the Mac 20 and the other was just an errant throw. LC's 2nd team was in the whole 2nd half. Mac scored on a punt return right after half. Much Props to #25 Chris Booker of MacMurray who single handly accounted for all of Mac's Points. After half Mac Scrapped their offense and placed #25 in the shotgun and they ran an option on every play. I'm looking forward to the Cheese Bowl... should be a good game definately going to decide what team represents the IBC for the last time.
