FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

Good Luck today to NC and Wheaton!!

On the other stuff!! Guys everyone outside of IWU have issues with Norm. I played at EC and coached at EC, I don't like him. No matter what the issues you might have with him you can't argue his consistency over his tenure. His teams are usually in the top third of the hardest conference in d3. I would rather have a coach that rubs a few people the wrong way and wins then the long history of "nice guys" that have not produced results.

Nachos although I won't like it, I will cheer for your son against everyone but EC!

Game temp in Wheaton is supposed to be 37-39F while it will be a toasty 57F hear in Hot Springs AR which is great for the poisonous spiders and snakes.

For people coming to the Wheaton St John's game today:

Washington Street will be closed from the railroad tracks to north of Harrison Street until 10:30am for The annual City of Wheaton Reindeer Run. This impacts getting to the McCully/BIlly Graham Center lot from the west side of campus if you're coming from Roosevelt (38). The tracks will be open if you go up to President Street and cross there.

Not sure if people plan on coming that early but just a heads up that I saw on the Wheaton Thunder Twitter account.

No I live 2 miles away from the track.  They do have a restaurant across the street from the track that sells Vienna beef Chicago style hot dogs which I am addicted to.  I miss good thin crust pizza from Chicago and suburbs. Frozen is better than anything they have in Arkansas.

Ice Bear says the NVM commentators are just excellent and a pleasure to listen to. Aggies defense playing well but NCC is just really really good. Ice really has enjoyed the first half. What a great team NCC has.

Wheaton needs to tighten up the coverage but they almost never play that way.
Also move the D ends outside of the O-tackles 2 yards to get a better pass Rush.  They will come crashing down on inside run plays.  St Johns is only -.3 yards rushing.  MHB D player of the year who played against Wheaton did this.  The O-tackles will widen their splits helping the inside pass rush and allowing lanes for lb blitzes.

Great job by the NCC TV crew.

Wish I could've been there (I've been Del Val's radio guy for years) but they made it enjoyable to follow the game.

Good luck to the Cards next week.

Just a heart-breaking way for Wheaton to lose... Penalty for spiking the ball after a TD and two missed PAT attempts. Ugh!

[Jim Matson]

A terrible way to lose for Wheaton. Bad spot on the 3rd down "touchdown" play...marked at the one foot line. Then a TD but a spiked ball penalty. And then roughing the kicker...but Wheaton had too many men on the field?

Congrats to a very good St. Johns team.

And congrats to a very good, and resilient, North Central team. I'm a Cards fan now!

What a shame. Dumb mistake by a Wheaton's  senior who scores the TD at the end and then the senior kicker misses both tried at the PAT. What a shame.☹️ The spot on the play before the TD was wrong-looks to me like he scored. But would he have git excited and spiked the ball then also? What a sad way to end a great season and what might have been even greater. But...what a great exciting game to watch. Sorry Usee, Mugsy, GoThunder and Thunderdog.

[shepherd]

Wheaton lost not because of the spike ball they took too long to tighten up the coverage. 
Know your opponent! 
Know your opponent! 
Especially one as hard to figure out like St Johns.
Live and learn.  It was a great game and both teams played great.  St Johns had -.7 yards Rushing.  D-line played as advertised. 

Good luck to St Johns who played a great game both offensively and defensively.
