hello all, long time reader first time poster. anyway good luck to all teams this season with the new conference. I would like to agree with you but I am not sure if CU Chicago has enough guys returning to make a difference. Should be fun to watch!

Welcome to the board!

WLC used to be in the MIAA, so I'm looking forward to the Cougars' matchup with former MIAA foe Olivet later this season.

Didn't camp start today?

So, let's here some details,

# of players reporting, players to watch for, etc...

I hear that WLU has a transfer QB from an NAIA school and is real good. This good really help them since they lost a 3 year starter at that position. Can any of the WLU folks verify that.

What is everyone's team doing from a preseason scrimmage?  I know CUW scrimmages Carthage and Lakeland scrimmages Elmhurst.

I hope some of the old posters return as the season nears. Not many folks talking or giving their two cents worth. We have all seen the media picks for the season but what does everyone think?

CUW is in Day 3 of Camp. Guess they got a late start due to the Rams using the facility. Haven't heard anything yet.

WLC's cupboard is not totally bare at QB. Last year's Warrior 2nd string QB returns, and, yes, WLC did gain another transfer QB from an NAIA school.

Here's the season preview from WLC's site:

From what I could see on CUCs website, there are about 80 guys on the roster, which is wonderful considering what it has been in the past.  Also, I didn't see their #1 WR on the roster either, did he leave and head back to Florida?

Speaking of that, there is a big presence of Florida players on the roster again this year, glad to see Copeland has stuck around, I see him being a 900-1,000 yard rusher this year for them.   Also looks like there is some size at the O-Line position, hopefully give Marotta (or if someone can beat him out) some time to throw the ball and open some holes for Copeland.  Don't know much more, hopefully someone can let us know what's going on in Cougarland.

Hopefully they can build on a successful 3-7 2007 season, and win another game or two....heck even more would be great.

Does anyone post anymore?

It's about a week away from the beginning of the season and there have only been like 3 posts.

I just read on the CCIW board that Lakeland scrimmaged Elmhurst yesterday. Did anyone see that scrimmage? I thought it was going to be labor day weekend. The poster on the CCIW board said Elmhurst moved the ball in the air and on the ground but also said Lakeland had some good runs and passed the ball deep.  I thought the fish lost their QB from last year, they must have replaced him. I hope to make the CUW/Carthage scrimmage and it should be a good ome, with the HC of CUW a past Assisant at Carthage. Does anyone know if AU is scrimmaging North Park or Loras?

Baseman, I think many of the posters from last year were from teams that went to the SLIAC. Good Luck to your Cougars.

Maybe everyone's clamming up because no one wants to jinx the team they're pulling for.

Here's some motivation:

No NAthCon team preview shows up until halfway down Kickoff 2008's list. (No surprise there.)

Whaddya say we all show 'em something, eh? (Grrrrr!)

You mean the 1-239 ranking?

[Pat Coleman]

Well, alphabetically, "Northern Athletics Conference" is more than halfway down, too.

[WLCALUM83]

I originally meant the 1-239 ranking, but either way doesn't change the potential motivation.
