FB: Upper Midwest Athletic Conference

If HC can beat Westminster, then the LaGrange game is for the conference crown.

In Pool B, I think the undefeated (in South Region play) SLIAC team gets a Pool B bid.

bossman...there are a pile of folks in the  Cloverdale section of Montgomery, Al that  sure hope you are right

keep the faith

How much more toilet paper can the limbs of the Victory Tree hold?

Eureka put up 699 yrds of offense in the new head coaches first game.  Congrats Coach keep up the good work.

Awesome Job Eureka

Hawkes88 and i watched the LaGrange Huntingdon JV game today, in LaGrange....typical jv from our side (probably thiers too) everyone played a  bunch

the only difference it was a really good game, Lagrange scored a touchdown with about 6 seconds left to win 39 to 33..... Huntingdon won the first jv game several weeks ago 31-7..so this one suggest LaGrange is just a lot better or tougher at home this yr... r both

several of the LaGrange folks kept yelling (after the game) "we are gonna give u the same, right here, in 3 wks"

Hawkes88 looked at me...and said... "thats gonna b a problem, because the game is in 4 wks"

i can't stop laughing

keep the faith

Against Principia, no offense, that isn't that much of a feat.

Yeah, nice calendar reading skills over there 
Interesting how in 7 previous meetings(2 varsity + 5 JV) they haven't been close to beating us and now with a last minute TD win they start popping off. We'll just file that one away for FOUR weeks since we have other big business to take care of first. I'll have to set a reminder for Nov. 9 to bring it back up.


Go Hawks!!

A little unusual for a board Admin to jump in here with a put down isn't it?

Eureka is 2nd in the SLIAC team rushing stats behind Hundington, 2nd in total offense behind Hundington, and have played one less game. They have 3 players on the conference top ten rushers list, Ards, Lindsey and Rosenberger. Ards and Rosenberger are freshman.
The SLIAC leading rusher, Brandon Ards, has only played in 5 games. He is also 3rd in all-purpose yards.

Eureka has a number of freshman starters and several more who don't start but see significant playing time.  I hope they all stick with it, they will only get better.

I realize we've got some tough games left on the schedule but I'm not going to discount what they've accomplished so far.

[Pat Coleman]

It's a reality check, just the facts.

[Andras Bacia]

Reality check? I have no illusions that Eureka is a top D3 football program. Except for a few years in the 90's they've had very few winning seasons.  I do think they have ton of potential in some of the young players they have now. I hope they find the right head coach to develop the program and the kids.

So should Eureka have had 1000 yards offense at Principia? 1500 yards? 90 points?

[Devils 50]

Man, thats really classy of Mr. Coleman to take cheap shots at a team trying to fight through adversity. "It's a reality check" Did anyone, anywhere say anything that promoted Principia as an elite program? Eureka is a small school (500 or so), and have been playing schools twice, or even three times bigger than they are for years. Now they are competeing in a conference that has schools with comparable enrollments and facilities, and are hanging tough. O, but don't worry, Mr. Coleman will make sure and put them in their place, and not let them have anything to hang their hats on!
*Keep working hard red devils, and play your a**es off this week for homecoming and give alumns a reason to dig into their pockets for you!

hay

i have met pat coleman...he is a good guy... i suspect he was just jesting

i believe yall will turn the corner...u have a rich tradition...

yall keep the faith... Eureka will get better

[Pat Coleman]

Deep breath, folks. Didn't mean to spoil your backslapping.

I just think that you know that it's hard to learn anything about your team from a game against Principia. It's not a matter of how many yards or points they should've had -- it's just that you can't draw many conclusions from it.
