FB: Upper Midwest Athletic Conference

Both leagues would be eligible for an automatic bid the same year, 2010.

Thanks for the info gentlemen. I can see EC going to a 9 game schedule also. Both years they have scheduled 5 home games and 4 road games. They might have done this to save on travel costs since they be going to Alabama and Georgia with LaGrange and Hunnington joining the SLIAC for football.

That's a plausible theory, lineman. Those trips to Alabama and Georgia might be costly enough to force SLIAC teams to reduce the schedule by a game, although I doubt that the SLIAC would force teams to make both those trips in the same year. My guess is that the teams in the league's Illinois/Missouri base would alternate trips to Huntington and LaGrange on an every-other-year basis, so that they each would only have to make the trip to Dixie once every autumn.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Eureka travels to La Grange in '08 and Hunington in '09. Knowing Eureka and their financial situation I have a good feeling this is why they went to a nine game season. Those are some long trips for EC. The longest trip since I can remember for the Red Devils was McKensie, TN when we played NAIA Bethel in '98.

Today let us remember our Soldiers and Sailors who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor and those who survived the attack in our prayers and thoughts.

Does anyone know when the 2008 UMAC football schedule will be release. Plus do people think CSS will be competitive their first season.

AF4,
How you been? Hope all is well with you. Any word from the boy on recruiting?

Pat,
Any ideas yet on whether all the conference games will count as in region the two years before the AQ kicks in? Would they move HC and LC to the north or everyone else to the south? Or will we stuck with only 3 or 4 region games for those two years?

All you other SLIACers, looking forward to chatting and maybe meeting this fall for some tailgating!!

They probably won't count as in-region but who knows?

They may not move the teams at all. It would be like the UAA in basketball.

[Ralph Turner]

Please remember that a conference game is considered an "in-region" game.

I think that HC and LaGrange will be okay if the Competition Committee acknowledges the conference membership towards "in-region".

As I look at the definition of in-region, then HC and LaGrange probably get the largest range of opponents if they are considered in the SLIAC, in the South Evaluation Region, and in the 3rd Administrative Region.

Yet there's no guarantee they will give SLIAC football that setup while in Pool B, Ralph. That's why I said that.

Haven't seen the finished product yet but I did sneak in and take a peek back in the fall while they were still working on it and could tell it was going to be pretty sweet!

Got plenty of bread and milk for the big snow storm tomorrow?

Yeah, I am afraid of that!   

Thanks for the esteemed opinion.
