FB: Upper Midwest Athletic Conference

[Hawks88]

Final score Huntingdon 45- Westminster 19
They had me nervous in the first half but HC took control in the 3rd quarter to pull away.
Good job fellas!

Signing off they said 44-19 so we must have missed the last extra point. I could have sworn he said it was good.


Go Hawks!

Greenville 38 - Blackburn 7 on a Kegal to Rendell Flood 20 yard pass

[gcfan]

Final from Greenville.....Greenville 38, Blackburn 14

from listening on the radio it sounded like a sloppy game, multiple turnovers by both teams but Greenville holds on for the W.  Next week they are in Fulton, MO at Westminster.

[The Forgotten Man]

Hey Forgotten Man, we'll be at LaGrange on the 1st to cheer on EC. Looking forward to the trip and the game.
We plan on hanging around for a few days and checking out West Point lake.
Any other must see tourist traps we should visit?

The Google map was a great idea.

Right now the weather guessers  are saying it should be a good day for football. http://www.accuweather.com/us/GA/Lagrange/30240/city-weather-forecast.asp

Drive Safely.

congrats to the players of the week:

FOOTBALL - OFFENSE
MacMurray College's Demarien Hampton, a sophomore from Chicago, Ill. (Percy Julian), has been named the SLIAC Football Offensive Player of the Week for the week of October 20-26.

Hampton, a 6-4 quarterback, completed 27-of-41 passes for a total of 373 yards and three touchdowns in the Highlanders 47-34 victory versus Eureka College. Hampton's first half statistics alone included 21-of-26 completions for 254 yards and two touchdowns. He engineered five touchdown drives on MacMurray's first six possessions, with four of the drives of at least 10 plays.

Hampton's performance helped him to break several MacMurray season records, including touchdown passes (24), pass attempts (300), completions (153) and yards (2,188).

FOOTBALL - DEFENSE
Eureka College's Matt Tieman, a freshman from Champaign, Ill. (St. Thomas More), has been named the SLIAC Football Defensive Player of the Week for the week of October 20-26.

Tieman, a 5-11 defensive lineman, tallied six solo tackles, three assisted tackles and 4.0 tackles for a loss of five yards in the Red Devils 47-34 loss to MacMurray College. His nine tackles and 4.0 tackles for loss were a career-high, as he made his first start ever at defensive tackle. He also helped the Eureka defense hold MacMurray's running game to just 4.4 yards per rush.

FOOTBALL - SPECIAL TEAMS
Eureka College's Joe White, a freshman from Manito, Ill. (Concordia), has been named the SLIAC Football Special Teams Player of the Week for the week of October 20-26.

White, a 6-0 kick returner, had four kickoff returns for a total of 100 yards, including a long return of 33 yards. His other three returns were 20 yards, 17 yards and 28 yards, helping him to a career and game-high 206 all-purpose yards in Eureka's 47-34 loss to MacMurray College.

Forgotten Man -- I think you're the only LaGrange fan on the board. Welcome!

(We had one earlier but he didn't get any takers for his LaGrange-to-the-Stagg-Bowl talk and I don't think we've seen him since.)

Not anymore.   I grew up in LaGrange and my parents are both LC alums, though I'm not all.  All the same, I grew up watching LC baseball and basketball, and if they'd had football back then, I'd have been at every football game too.  Glad to be on board, and looking forward to taking care of Huntingdon in a few weeks.

Welcome. It's been nice meeting locals at the games. Hope you can make it to this week's contest with Eureka College.

that could happen... it stacks up to b a close game against 2 very equal teams

with the exception of  the 2 NAIA games (which shouldn't count toward D-3 playoffs) and the beat down that LC put on murrville vs the 'just win Huntingdon' had..... the 2 teams performance is almost identical against common opponents in the SLIAC

they are very similar teams.... it will b a real good game ...i thank... and who ever wins..... should get a chance to go to the playoffs

perhaps the selection committee will see the wisdom of sending both..

it appears LC has a clearer road to the playoffs as they have a great chance of being 9-0 or 8-1 in D-3, (no disrespect intended toward Eureka...but...LC is real)

it is 'muddy -ier'  for Huntingdon, as they  could end up 7-2, 8-1, or 9-0 in D-3 ( and i mean no disrespect to Principia) with both HSC ( a 1 loss ODAC team) and LC ( a no D-3 loss team) over the final 2 wks of the season

AF4: You sound like Vince Dooley

LC better have it's A game and stop with the penalties if they have any hopes of beating HC.

brother... i am unsure if that is a complement... but he is a good Auburn boy (his roommate whle at AU was former gov fob james)

the LC HC game will b a good game..... i believe we both match up well

i honestly believe they r real close... look at the SLIAC game scores and at the SLIAC  statistics......it is uncanny how close the 2 r

yall got a wk off (HC plays HSC ) and the game is at your house

have a good wk with Eureka.... they r a good ball club... but like they say... yall r for real

Coach Dooley used to always talk about how good their opponents were and enumerate all the disadvantages his team faced.    Since I am a Tech fan, I guess it would be fair to question whether or not it was a compliment     But it was definitely not a "dis." I actually have a great deal of respect for Coach Dooley. So, consider it a left-handed compliment.

[AF4]

thanks

i use to love dooley and bryant both crying about thier teams

i still remember bryants TV show and the golden flakes and lack of conversation

i grew up a yelow jacket fan... even worked at Grant Field helping my dad

kim king, lenny snow, john lagana (sp) billy lothrage (sp) randy rhino and the great Bobby Dodd.... long time ago

have a great wk and keep the faith

For those Eureka and LaGrange fans who won't be able to attend the game, you should be able to listen to the radio broadcast over the Internet:
