[WING-T 53]

Go T.  They are going to have to bring their best to make it a close game.  The Vikes are on a mission this season.   I see them winning by 14! 

A-U-G-I-E  Augie!!!!!

Go Thunder:

I don't expect you to "give away their gameplan", I'm just saying if you are going to make those posts it would be nice to give some info on how they are looking good.  You stated earlier you aren't a coach, but I'm wondering how you have so much inside information? Besides a coach/player probably wouldn't take anything said on this board too seriously as how to construct their gameplan for the upcoming game.

Good luck to all the CCIW teams this weekend and especially the Bluejays playing their arch rivals.
I'm always sad at the final game of the season.  I get such an emotional let down knowing I have to wait SO LONG for another game.
How is Mt. Union compared to the MUC teams that beat Wheaton/Carthage the last 2 years?  If NC was to play them, would they be able to compete?  (That's not a knock on NC rather a credit to MUC's program)
Luna has a great chance to break George Donald's all time rushing record at Elmhurst this weekend.

[HScoach]

jaybird:  This MUC defense is faster than previous versions but not as big up front.  Secondary is good and deep.  Physical running games will be a problem.

What would it take for NCC to get a home game in the first round, and avoid Mt. Union.

[augiedogie]

Cardinal20:
The best chance for NCC to get a home 1st Rd game is to A. beat NPU, and B. Augie loss to Wheaton. 

[CardinalAlum]

Wabash losing to DePauw wouldn't hurt either.

[79jaybird]

Thanks HS Coach.  I hope the day arrives when the CCIW consistently beats the Mount.  
Regardless of who's playing, playoff football is something special.  I'm going to the Prospect (my alma mater) vs. Highland Park game tonight.  The theme, emotions, and pride displayed is something special that always touches the heart.

I'm not going to give away the game plans who is at q-back etc.  The point is there looking the best they have all season.

That's right, when Coach Swider, Coach Bishop and Go Thunder/Shephard are done with the gameplan, they will unveil it.

Jaybird,
I somehow doubt that hscoach shares that sentiment!

CardAlum...thanks for the update. Thank goodness we all have day jobs!

Only TV weathermen can be THAT wrong and still be employed!!

Did that bad Boy George impersonation in the OAC room cost you your positive karma?

no, sticking up for augie on the NCAC board probabaly did though.
