FB: American Rivers Conference

Whats wrong with my 4-9?

[KnightSlayer101]

I also don't get what I am saying that is not reasonable, maybe you guys aren't a confident bunch. I am in sales now, I was an athlete then, confidence is my bread and butter. It is how the Lord made me.

You're critique on my use of I instead of we, I agree with, it is a fair criticism...you can't spell team with an I.

Now for those who want me to change my tone...a couple of predictions...I try to get my hands on anything D3 football IIAC, so just keep in mind that they may be a little off...minus Central of course

Conference Title:Central              IIAC PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Nate Snead (Great kid)
1)Central College
2)Coe College 
3)Wartburg College
4)Loras College
5)Luther College
6)Buena Vista Univ.
7)Cornell College
8)Simpson College
9)Univ. of Dubuque

Did you respond to this at all?

Warthog, sigh, you just don't get it.  Nuff said.

I think UD is on the upswing. I look for them to be #4 in the conference next season, maybe #3 if they can knock off Coe AGAIN. Simpson and Lorass duke it out with Cornell for last place.

I see you have Cornell at #7 -- placing them ahead of two teams. KS101, who do you think they will have their wins against?

If you didn't play under Coach Mac, are you from the Kac era or the Schipper era? (My money is on Kac - and I AM a betting kind of girl.)

[footballdaddy]

I'm along with you on the Kac era. Kinda sad that someone of that age is still living his football days.

2010 Conference standings

Wartburg - 8-0
Coe          - 7-1
Central     - 6-2
Loras        - 4-4 
Luther      - 4-4   
Dubuque  - 3-5   
BVU          - 2-6
Simpson   - 2-6
Cornell     - 0-8

I look for Wartburg, Coe, and Central to once again be in the top 3
I think Loras will take a step down the conference standings while breaking in a new HC
Luther has gone 5-5 overall and 4-4 in conference play 4 years running...look for more of the same next season. 
Dubuque lost a load of close games last year.  Bring in a healthy Zweifel, a QB in Hanus with a year of starting under his belt along with an improved Oline and veteran receivers and I think DBQ has a good year.
BV has had 1 winning season in the last 5 years...I think they stay near the bottom of the standings
Ditto for Simpson
Cornell has 1 conference win in the past 5 years.  Couple that with an administration that won't support their athletic teams and I think Cornell will once again bring up the rear of the conference. 

My projected 2011 conference standings...
1A - Central
1B - Coe
1C - Wartburg
4   - Dubuque
5   - Luther
6A - BVU
6B - Simpson
8   - Loras
9   - Cornell

See I try to change my tone, and I get attacked by Warthog. I don't think I am a legend, but I know what I am. Among my friends I was Bill Romanowski, see Warthog I don't know who your friends are but if they played for Central, they wouldn't let you diss me like that...like I said, giving you fans a little behind the scenes, thats what we have-a brotherhood. You think I am kidding...how do you think we are so successful because we are just pals on the field? Give me a break.

Now for those who want me to change my tone...a couple of predictions...I try to get my hands on anything D3 football IIAC, so just keep in mind that they may be a little off...minus Central of course

Cornell 7th!?!  All of a sudden I like KS101, he doesn't seem so irrational anymore.

Bartender!  I'll have what he's having!     

[KnightSlayer101]

What about Purple Heys, what do you think? I just think Cornell is on the verge of at least being mediocre, no team can stay so bad as long as they have and not have one good season.

and Football Daddy- "Kinda sad that someone of that age is still living his football days." What have you ever done? You want me to stop talking trash? You should take your own advice.

[warthog]

Warthog, sigh, you just don't get it.  Nuff said.

What don't I get?

[doolittledog]

Warthog, sigh, you just don't get it.  Nuff said.

What don't I get?

That your blood pressure is rising???
That we've found someone that outshines ShowMe???
That apparently you and footballdaddy have traded places in the irritating department???
That you now think of Willie University as a nice, warm and fuzzy guy compared to KS101???

[footballdaddy]

What have you ever done? 

I've survived cancer.
I've buried my parents and my mother-in -law 
I've been married 26 years.
I've raised two wonderful kids
I've coached youth sports
I've endured watching my son's football career cut short due to inmjury.
I've watched my son help coach his college team to an undefeated season
I watched my daughter became an all-conference softball player
I've watched my daughter raise her gpa from high school to college

Nope, I haven't done anything like your football career.

[footballdaddy]

I won't go so far as to say warm and fuzzy, but I'll cut him some slack since he's got a new daughter.

You must have played for Kac. And you must have not been keeping up with IIAC football  since by looking at these predictions.

Anyway, I understand your bond with the guys you played with. Those of us that did play, know it well. And you didn't have to play for central to understand it.

I do like having you on the board, it makes anything I've said in the past seem mild.

FBDaddy, I wouldn't say warm and fuzzy either

Hello all!  Let me start with (insert cliche here), long time reader, first time poster.  Sorry, had to do it.  I just got around to registering on the boards after playing and coaching in the IIAC.   

I figured there aren't nearly enough Cornell people on here, so I thought I'd splash some more purple on these boards.  I haven't had a chance to get caught up on the conversations yet, but looking forward to adding my 2 cents.
