So where exactly would one in full pads being holding "a spare pencil"!

Maybe in your J-pads!

ncc 62,

I try to get you into the positive karma, but you keep getting knocked down!  

It's got to be the EE picture!

I appreciatte the effort..as soon as I get to 200 +K for you

I've said this many times over the last few years and I'll say it again...DeGeorge was a fantastic Defensive Coordinator....a bad head coach.....and he was absolutely nuts.  Those of us who played for him still tell stories about some of the things he said and the stories he told.  Nonetheless...he is a good man and deserves to be treated with respect.

You want to talk about bad... Wheaton had an assistant coach back in the "dark ages" (late 70's - early 80's) that during the van ride over to NCC for a JV game asked if anyone had a pencil he could borrow.

Seems harmless enough of a question, right?  Until you understand that every player in the van was in full pads.

So where exactly would one in full pads being holding "a spare pencil"!

Wow...thats just interesting....we had a coach who went to a rival school bring a shirt that he lit on fire in the parking lot after practice one day...

Tyke Spencer, Brad Spencer, Gudaskaus, Studemann, Gibson, Earnest

HAHAHAHAHAHA.  U know that both Hawk and Shelly are married.  Scarey.

[CardinalAlum]

To each other?

From 1995 through this last season, name the top 3 best CCIW players in the following categories:
1. QB
2. RB
3. WR
4. OL
5. DL
6. LB
7. DB
8. Kicker

I know Mugsy is still in deep thought over this one, but I'm curious on some of the other regulars' opinions(Usee, dansand, dhf, Jaybird, redmen96/44, etc.). 

CardinalAlum,
I think I'll defer to those guys who played in that era. I could give a pretty good opinion  of Augie guys, but I probably couldn't make a fair assessment of players from others schools, having seen them only twice, at best, in their careers. But thanks for asking my opinion.

Hello all!!
     Well, alot has been posted and discussed since I last posted. Reading back, I see that there have been discussions about the coaching staff changes at NCC. I don't want to say I told you so.......but, when I posted this back in early October, some of you jumped on me about being a disgruntled parent! You heard it hear first. And I don't think it is over yet! I would bet some big changes will happen yet in the next year or two.
     As far as the disgruntled players I was referring to in October, shortly thereafter, the coaching staff changed their ways and began treating the players with respect, like they used to. They eventually felt better about the program.
     I don't want to wish the summer away, but c'mon August!!!!

[Mr. Ypsi]

I'd join in the best players discussion, but by far the best qbs I saw were Ken Anderson and Steve Laub!  

I might be slightly outside the time frame you specified!

You NCC guys must love the I told you so

washdupcard,
     I've been around long enough to see the changes and hear the discontent. Things have changed over the past three years.  All you have to do is hear the parents talk in the stands.  MANY of them are very discontent.  From what I hear them saying  and from what many current players are saying... its is very evident that MANY of the players are not happy.  I've even overheard some of the coaches expressing displeasure with the way some things are being handled.   This is not good when you have a successful program.
 
     Starters are quiting.  Potential starters are not returning. Upperclassmen are quiting. Underclassmen are wondering what the heck is going on with the way some of the upperclassmen are being treated. After arriving, many are disappointed with how the program actually is compared to how they were led to believe it was.  Even former players' parents are asking what the heck is going on when they hear what is happening.

     It appears as if a couple of the coaches think they have become bigger than the TEAM...the PROGRAM...They preach the philosophy, but don't live by it.  That might work in high school, in a captive audience, but, young college men are not that naïve.   Alot is going on to tear the TEAM apart.  Things aren't as they were a year or two ago.  The family is not happy!
     This is hurting the immediate team and the future of the team via recruiting.  If former players and parents don't support the program and talk it up.....no one will.

     Just sit in the stands and listen with an open ear.  Believe me, I hope it doesn't happen, but it has already started.
     

Where in this post do you mention that there would be a change at the D-coordinator position?   I highlighted all of your statements that you made in October.  You sure changed your tune after the conference was won and we made the playoffs!  As I mentioned to you months ago, winning cures the little things that tend to creep up during the season.  Recruiting is off to a great start, the team doesn't appear to be "torn apart".  Where is that huge defection of potential starters and underclassmen?
