I cant lie, when i read the post that said "your face is unstoppable" i laughed.... a lot.... for a while.  awesome.  Hey when does the new board for the nathcon start, hopefully there will be some people who actually want to talk some football on there.

[Cougswillwin]

Oh yeah? Well You...guys are...stoppable.....Shut Up!

[Cougswillwin]

How bout that National Championship game, eh?


Yeah, it was pretty sweet.

[Pat Coleman]

I'm creating this board and merging the Illini-Badger Conference board into it, since there's a large shared population. I'll create a new board for the SLIAC. Hopefully it will get some conversation.

[Cougswillwin]

Wow...we got the NAC board and everything now.  This conference has to be legit!

[Gomer Pyle]

   Looking forward to the "new" SLIAC board.   

  Happy Holidays to all.

WLCALUM83;

Good set of key match ups but I also think the AU/Rockford game is a statement game. AU has lost the last 2 games. IMO, Rockford and WLC can make some immediate impact in the NAC. 2008 should be a dog fight and will anyone unseat CUW?

Happy New Year to all, be safe if you are traveling and enjoy all the bowl games.

[FatalImpact]

It should be a dog fight and I believe CUW will contend but not win......IMO

If you want to promote division 3 sports, do a google search for pontiac game changing performance and vote for the only d3 play that will likely be seen there for a long time.  We only have a few days left and Appalachain State is currently in the lead. 

A vote for Trinity is a vote for d3football.

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year. Please be safe if you are traveling. Tonight brings out many nuts that drive when they should not.

It will be a new conference for the New Year. I look for a good competitive season in 2008. Welcome to all the new schools, WLC, Rockford and Maranatha. IMO the new conference will have an additional incentive of the all sports trophy, which adds to the competition.

Are there any coaching changes in the league for 2008, either have changed or a possible change? Also what are the schedules for 2008 for the non conference piece? The conference schedules are posted on the NAC web site.

Insight on the OAC board has Lakeland and Aurora's HCs with ties to the opening at Capital.  It wouldn't hurt my feelings to see the AU coach go, but then again why would Capital hire a coach who has never had a winning record?

[Pat Coleman]

That reads like just a listing of former Capital assistants with head coaching experience.

There is a new expansion arena football team in Milwuakee called the Bonecrushers coached by Gilbert Brown, the ex-packer.  It looks as if there will be some old players from CUW and LC on the team.  Its pretty bizarre.
