FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[AndOne]

Things continue to heat up between MIAC vs CCIW... the atmosphere in McCully is going to be ELECTRIC!
Can't wait!!!

I'm going to drive like a maniac to see the 2nd half in person.  My son has a high school swim meet in the morning - family first.

Mugsy,

Driving like a maniac just means you'll be going as fast as most of the other drivers in the Chicagoland area! 🏎

HOW DO I BLOCK AN IDIOT?

You have just been sent a personal message by AndOne on D3boards.com.

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

The message they sent you was:

Eash was right? 
So you think NCC wasn't really as good (read the Weenies weren't really as bad) as the 69-14 licking they took from North Central? That's a nice combination of both ignorance and a denial of reality.
Did you read ALL the comments? They were from fans/posters from several different teams. But sure, all those guys are wrong, and Eash is right and was telling the truth. You really have already bought the whole pitcher of green Kool-Aid. Thinking Wesleyan had a decent game after getting ass-kicked by 55 points. Dream on.................

And, no, no need for Eash to build a shrine to Thorne. But it would have been nice for him to have told the truth, and to have given the other team the credit they deserved—-something Eash has always found it exceptionally hard to do.[/b][/i][/i]

IS THE FOLLOWING AN INITIATION JOKE FOR THIS THREAD?  IS THIS WHAT THIS BOARD IS ABOUT?

I get this unsolicited crap message from a guy on this board. Now, I guess I get thrown off as he states?   

THE FOLLOWING WAS SENT TO ME:
Quote from: XXXXXX on Today at 08:09:32 pm
If you were under the impression that Norm Esch is a "class act" you were sold a bill of (defective) goods. He is generally loathed by the other coaching staffs and fans of all the other conference teams.
After IWU was taken apart 69-14 by NCC Esch said "I didn't think they were 69-14 better." He never gives any other teams credit. You can choose not to believe this but if you don't, check out the comments by several fans of several different conference teams on pages 2583-2584.
Not sure what led you to believe he is high class, but that impression is not shared by many outside of Bloomington.

Additionally, since you're new to the board you might not know it's against the terms of service to post any info that is told to you in a private message from any other poster without their permission. Doing so will get you banned from posting.

Good luck to your son at IWU.

MY REPLY:
Are you joking with this message?  Seriously....
Read what you wrote.  Guess what, Coach Eash was right.  But you take that as not being classy?  Should Coach Eash have built a shrine for Thorne?

Getting banned from having idiots message me with crap like this would be a blessing.  What a cowardly way to talk about someone.

I'll be in the visitors stands Saturday with my son...come say Hi.

Good thing there is someone classy like AndOne to inform the parents of future IWU student-athletes about Norm.  What a noble crusade.

AndOne, I get it.  You don't like Eash.  And yes, many of us feel the same.  But you made your point.  Move on and leave this man alone.  You are a Cardinal (I think).  If so, act like one.

Nachos, this is a special time in your son's life.  It goes by way too fast.  I hope you both enjoy every minute of the journey.  I sincerely wish you and your son the best of luck... except on the Saturdays when you play NCC (Sorry, I had to throw that in)!  And no need to sit on the visitor side on Saturday.  Come sit on the home side and cheer on the CCIW - if not the Cardinals

Real question: If you are Wheaton, would you even want to see North Central again in the Stagg Bowl? On one hand, you've beaten them once already, and are 4-1 against Rutter as the starting QB. But on the other, parallels to 2017, where NCC beat Wheaton (Rutter's only win over the Thunder) and then the Thunder came back and beat them the next time around. They do say it's hard to beat a good team twice. Ideally for Wheaton, someone else would knock off the Cardinals as they take care of business on their end. Also, if it did end up with the two of them in the Stagg, does Swider put the Bell on the line? I recall Thorne would not put it up for the playoff game. Thoughts?

I for one would be thrilled to play NCC again because that means we won the next 2 and made it to the Stagg. There is no statistical validity to the wives tale of beating a good team twice. It stems from the idea if you have a 50% chance to beat a team and play them twice the expected result is 1-1. But if you flip a coin 2x you could easily get 2 heads as often as you get 2 tails. So if these two play again, the percentages will be what they are and the first matchup has nothing to do with it, statistically speaking. Probably a pickem game if it happens

I wouldn't put the Bell up. Its a regular season game trophy. They lost, we won. See you in Naperville next year.

Completely agree on the Bell!  We can take it back at home next year!      

I'll gladly let them keep the Bell and we will take the Stagg trophy this year. Deal? Deal.

100%

Wheaton plays St Johns sat. One game at a time. You win you move on to the next opponent.  That's it nothing more. Always have your hands full with the opponent your playing.

Sadly, whatever I do will have ZERO impact on the outcome of the game on Saturday.  So I have the luxury of looking ahead.

"Don't look ahead" message board posters are the best. As if us commenting on a hypothetical affects the actual players. Hilarious.

So it's just like when you played?   

You would know, you were sitting on the bench next to me.

When I played real option football at Tinley Park in the 70's we learned many things that are advantageous to football and life in general. 
1. Never look ahead.  While no one can keep this 100% during the important things this will serve a person well.
2. Always give your best even and especially against the weakest opponent.  Half effort can become a habit.  On the field fight for one more yard, inch, blade of grass until the whistle blows.
3. keep positive it will become catchy.  The way I talk to my teammates effects the whole team.  Especially during a game.  Nearly every time I said or had said to me "I'm doing this and this you will be able to do that that's what happened eventually.  That was to a running back as an o lineman or on defense as a tackle or linebacker.
These things can be used in life too.
If I look ahead and start talking this and that especially if it is something very interesting it can plant a seed which can plant another seed on and on.   That can have disastrous consequences in life when you think you have an easy path overlook something important with your present endeavor.

I completely agree that those are excellent words to live by - in life and in football!  But we are all just spectators here.  I don't take any of this too seriously.

I think it is fair to say that many of us are excited by how our teams have performed this season and that we are still in the "hunt".  I see no harm in talking about all the hypothetical situations that could unfold in the next few weeks.  What's the worst that could happen?  Be disappointed if our team loses?  I can deal with that....

There ain't enough room for two washdupcards in this town. Impostoré!!

I insulted the wrong one!

Don't worry, I'll consider the insult received.

At the risk of expulsion, I had to share the PM I received today:

"USee,
I wanted to let you know how much I secretly adore the Thunder. I have been a Johnnie fan my whole life and follow them passionately but when I saw how good this Wheaton team is I just knew we were cooked. So I figure, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I also have always shared a hatred for North Central so it's an easy switch. I'll be in the visitor stands tomorrow with my Red and White face paint on and matching socks, but underneath I will be wearing the Orange and Blue. Maybe we could meet up after the game so I can hear even more stories about Wheaton Football. I am planning on going to the Stagg to follow my new favorite team.

Go Johnnies, but really Go Thunder!

That's what living in the Antipodes will do to you. I'm always amazed that Aussies and Kiwis ever get anything done properly, given their disadvantageous geographical position. When you spend all day standing upside-down on the bottom half of the Earth, it's bound to muddle your thinking eventually, and I can't think of any symptom more indicative of muddled thinking than becoming a Wheaton fan.
