We need Mugsy to create his Tale of the Tape charts for both CCIW games this weekend. :-)

I'll see what I can do tonight.

Emma, as a CLU fan i hate this match up.CLU has lost its starting d line to injuries and has not been able to stop the run very well. The d seems to give us a good half and a bad half. In that good half our o has put up the scores it needed for victory.I would guess ncc has not seen a rec. like rogers this year,and CLU has not seen a big physical team like ncc.(maybe linfield)If we can get an early lead and make it a track meet i will feel much better. last week chapman controled the clock for two and a half quaters.but once they gave an opening it was all over.Sould be an interesting game.good luck to ncc and enjoy the real so cal.(redlands really isnt)

Thanks for the reply cludad.
Sorry to hear the D-Line is banged up- hopefully James Emma is good to go

I'm not a NCC insider but I'll do my best to reciprocate.  Offensively NCC is strong and their skill players are very quick- they run their option with precision.  They have multiple players they use in the skill positions and all seem to be capable of big plays.  If CLU hasn't seen similar offenses with similar speed- it could be a long day.  Conversely, I imagine CLU will want to air it out as NCC doesn't give up much on the run.  As stated earlier, NCC's heartbreaks have come when the D couldn't stop the passing game when it needed to most.     

I hope video of the game is available online.

There is a party being planned in downtown Naperville(final destination not determined as of yet) for all who want to watch the game and have some fun. We are heading out on Friday, hoping to see a great play-off game.

Scott Pethtel is a great coach and even better person. I hope he is will with the NPU program because he is finaly putting a solid foundation down on the program, to build on.  While the Wins are not quite there yet,  you can see some of the improvements the Vikes have been having on and off the field.

I just saw that the Head Football Coach position is available on the North Park jobs page.  Anyone have any insight in to that?  Maybe I missed something long ago, I do spend much more time on the soccer and basketball boards, so my apologies if this was already discussed.

I really hope that is a mistake.  The strides that NP has made are not huge but they are progress over where they have been.  I fear another coaching change will take that program back down to rock bottom.

Unfortunately for NPU, it appears not to be a mistake. Check the 1st line of the link:

That's been updated in the past three hours. Pethel was still out there when I looked before.

Calling Mr. Sager......come in, GS.....we need clarification....

It's pretty clear to me Pethtel is gone. The same thing happened with NPU basketball if I remember. That is,  a job opening was posted before any announcement. I am sure Greg will have the scoop and inform us all. Major bummer as Pethtel seems like a great guy and had made huge strides with the program.

Well, nobody can be everywhere at the same time. Therein lays the value of "hiring" good assistants.        

[Pat Coleman]

Oh, no doubt, I wasn't complaining. Just noting the timing and the order of events.

I don't know how to "Reply" to a specific post so I will try to answer this way.  To those that have questions about NCC's ability to stop the pass.  In both their losses to "passing teams" NCC turned over the ball at least 5 or 6 times in each of those games.  I believe two turnovers in the UW LaCross Game were returned for touchdowns and they lost 21-17.  In the Wheaton Game they gave up fumbles in the red zone (1 on the two yard line) One returned for a touchdown and lost 35-21. 
NCC has the defense and offense to play with anybody.  They need to take care of the football and the rest will come!
If thye don't, it will be a long flight home!
Good luck to all participants in this years playoffs. Hope everyone comes out healthy.
Go Cardinals!

Any information on this get together will be appreciated!  I am trying to find flights out to the game but if that doesn't work out, I'd love to watch with other Cardinal Fans!
Thank you

Regarding scott Pethel I heard the team was told last night at their end of year meeting.  I wish him the best of luck cause he was a good guy

Maybe Mr. Sager is now Coach Sager.    From the  booth to the sideline ...
