I am fed up with the Cubs.


I believe you may have found something to unite the whole message board.  Maybe we can't agree on who is the best or most disappointing team in the conference but I think we can all agree that the Cubs are more disappointing than all of them!

I think the 4 way tie scenario is pretty far fetched; however, just for fun here's another question. Is the tie breaker based solely on points or do they consider head to head victories. For example, if a four way tie existed AU and Lakeland would have 2 losses to the teams involved in the group. BU and CUW would have one loss a piece, with BU winning the head to head against CUW. In this scenario BU goes to the playoffs. Far fetched, ridiculous, I know. But is this a possibility or do tie breakers always go to points and/or margin of victory?

Au will beat BU, we went through this same song and dance last year, AU will win, CUC was never the favorite in the conference therefore BU beating them is not a shocker, AU wins

What happened to the mighty mighty Spartans?

Your responses are pathetic. I really have no response to them. Your attempt at humor is beyond sad. Also, it leads me to believe that you are a homosexual when you have to use the "come out of the closet" line. Are we displacing again?  Cry?


I believe you mean "projection"

I'm guessing a poster has a similar opinion of me



Yes Pongo, indeed there are many posters that have a similar opinion of you...the opinion that you are a pathetic douchebag who loves attention on message boards because he can't get through normal human contact.

And further, I think I finally get it. You have an "unnatural" love for Jon Cooper that you just can't seem reconcile. You try to supress that love as much as you can, and hide it by making these posting, but you still can't shake it. It keeps you up at night. It's ok Pongo, you can come out of the closet, nobody will make fun of you.

By the way AYKM, everyone knows you've been making these same posts on the board for 3 years now under various monikers (Fat Pongo). So what's even more pathetic is the fact that your time spent here in 3 years surpasses the time you've spent doing any other activity during the same period. Maybe you need to try harder to get laid? I hear nudie magazines don't really love you back.

Benedictine loses to Concordia Chicago 21-10.

So who is going to side with Jon Cooper now? He's lost to the worst team in the IBC (with the exception of Eureka). It doesn't get much worse than this. "Oh he's still building his team." Not an excuse. He's in year 3.

"Oh but NCC and Elmhurst are the #1 and #2 teams in the nation" excuse doesn't work anymore. They lost by 2 scores to a TERRIBLE team. They are also terrible.

What does Jon Cooper do all week? He does not gameplan. What does Jon Cooper do all offseason? He does not recruit good players. He's pathetic. He should be fired, as I've said all along.

If Murray and Mitchell lost their jobs for poor performance, Cooper should've been fired after yesterday's game.

Cooper came into Benedictine with an attitude. He knocked Benedictine's past teams by saying this is the "new" Benedictine" and that the "old" Benedictine had to go, the "old" Benedictine was bad, blah blah blah. Guess what? The old Benedictine was a lot better than when he came. If you're going to come into a school acting like some big shot who is going to change things, then change them...for the better, not for the worse. I'm just tired of people siding with Cooper when he has done noting but fire good coaches to bring in "his" guys, lose games, and recruit a bunch of scrubs. It's time for him to be fired or retire on his own.

Jon Cooper is proving why Aurora never hired him as a head coach. There's a reason he was an assistant for almost 20 years. It's showing right now.

Benedictine will go 1-9, maybe 2-8. That is not progress.

Benedictine administration, if you're reading this, start accepting applications, because this ship is sinking.

This guy is so pathetic it's hilarious!

Boo hoo, I feel slighted by Jon Cooper because I wasn't taken seriously when I was at Benedictine so I have an axe to grind. My self-esteem is so low, and the PBR I use to drink myself to sleep every night does nothing to help so I think I'll post on this message board. Maybe...just maybe someone out there will listen to me and hate Jon Cooper as much as I do (sniffle, sniffle).  Oh the pain, the agony! Whoa is me!

Dude, seriously you're about as pathetic as they come. You're not going to find anyone here to validate your personal beefs with Jon Cooper. Yeah, Benedictine may look bad right now but they also have more kids out for the team than they have in any recent time. I know you think the team you were affiliated with (all 16 of you) were so much better but that's just the PBR talkin. The team is young, they have a freshman quarterback who was thrust into the role in the last minute but they're going to come around. They're probably not going to win the conference but so what, the program is still headed in the right direction.

But hey I'm not trying to tell you what to do. Keep crying into your beer and posting your anti-Cooper diatribes on the board, they're hilarious. The best part is picturing you sitting at the computer in your underwear, your gut hanging onto the keyboard which is soaked with PBR and tears.

Ok, I lied, this will be my last post. I forgot  to add:

e) this conference wasn't always the DIV-III dormat. It was a lot more competitive in the 90's, making the separation between those AU teams and the current even more pronounced.

Fatal and aufb,

A few things:


a) first of all, Fatal, good lord, please stop drinking before posting. Your grammar and sentence construction gives me a headache. Seriously, it's terrible.

b) fairweather fan? Yes, I will say that I am indeed a fairweather fan, and that is because I witnessed the dismantling of a proud and strong football tradition. I have absolutely no shame admitting that.

c) regarding Coach Cooper, I give him all the credit in the world for turning BU around, and I think things would be much different if he were running the show at AU. I think BU is actually a better team than AU currently.

d) aufb, point conceded regarding Coach Scott. I have no idea what he thinks about the current state of AU so I can't co-opt his endorsement of my perspective. I humbly remove his name. However, that still doesn't change the fact that a once proud program is crumbling. I hope that changes, I really do. You two can hem and haw all day about how great AU is but I doubt either one of you has been around long enough to have any sufficient basis for comparison between the Scott era and the current era.

e) finally, and this will be my last post on this subject, I'm not brining this up solely to ruffle feathers (remember Fat Pongo?). I just can't sit and listen to everyone go on and on about how great AU is. It's simply disingenuous. AU is under new leadership and it may take a while to build the program up again, but the fact remains that it is currently a far cry from the glory days. Things can change, and I hope they do, but in the meantime all I ask is that you cheerleaders look in the mirror a little bit. You can crow all you want about how great AU is but you only make yourselves appear like the Emperor with no clothes.

Oh yeah, forgot to include the teams from 2000-2004 in that list of great AU squads, which further illustrates my point: the harder the fall from grace!
#11
Just to comment on all the AU posts, I have been around all the AU teams from the very beginning of the program that Jim Scott started in '86 (no, I never played for AU), and I must say that it is clear AU is less than a shadow of its former self. The teams of the early 90's and late 90's were great teams, largely because Jim Scott and his staff built a unique program of tough, hard hitting players. Many of those defenses were nationally ranked. My point isn't to put the current AU team down, entirely. I agree with Da One, as a fan it's frustrating and overwhelmingly sad to watch them play these days. They were a force to be reckoned with during the Scott era, now they look like a high school J.V. squad. Again, as a fan it's hard to stomach, because the administration and new staff seems to have destroyed the program.

Some of you guys can talk all you want about how the team is up and coming, etc. etc., and how they beat teams like BU, but give me a break (Fatal), AU looked horrible against BU. That was about as undeserved of a victory as there has ever been in the history of football. The only reason they won is because BU coughed the ball up 5 times. AU was thoroughly dominated in the second half and looked silly (yes, I know a win is a win is a win; however...I was embarassed for AU). The point is--and I'm sorry to all the non AU people who are tired of reading about this--all you current AU cheerleaders need a dose of reality. I'm glad you are all supportive and all still, but you need to get real, just a little bit. The current squad is bringing a tear to the eye of this longtime AU supporter (remember the Indian in the littering commercial? Kind of like that), and I'm sure to the eyes of Scott and his former staff. I'm not blaming the current players, as they seem to give their all, I'm blaming the administration and the new coaching staff. What a shame (complete with sniffles)!

Just to add about the LC and their sticky fingers! Today I spoke with some of the Bball players who I am friends with and I can not stress how angry I am. I understand that when the BBall players entered the bball locker room and started looking for all thier stuff they started yelling and wondering what happen to their IPODs, cell phones and cdplayers!!! When LC heard this, they like cowards, put the stolen goods ontop of the lockers to make it seem like they did not do anything wrong!!!
WAY TO GET READY FOR A GAME!
COACH Z- YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF AND YOUR SCHOOL SHOULD FIRE YOU!!!!HANDS DOWN THE WORST COACH IN THE CONF. MAYBE FOOTBALL IN MY BOOK! THE WORST PART IS THAT NO LEADER ON LC STOOD UP AND SAID THIS IS WRONG AT ANY POINT, THAT MAKES THE ENTIRE TEAM WORHTLESS!!!


Ok, enough of your feigned outrage. Yes yes, stealing and dirty play is wrong but c'mon dude you're starting to sound like a suburban soccer mom, "This is an outrage! what are we going to do! won't someone please think about the childrent!" Gosh, I hope CUC and all their players/fans are ok, maybe they need a hug?

something i heard...maybe just hear say...but there is a certain someone that plays at BU that has played at like 1 or 2 other schools and 3 years at BU and is playing illegally this next season....I'm not gonna name names unless someone else can say whether its true...most ppl probably know what I am talking about if its true...I thinks its really crap if someone is doing this ...I also thinks its crap if someone has started a rumor but I think it would be fair to our conference to know the truth

I know he's been around forever, but believe it or not he is eligible due to being redshirted at a previous schools

Predictions for this week: This will be remembered as upset week

1. Eureka vs. AU--this will be closer than most think, but AU pulls it off
2. Mac vs. BU--BU surprises Mac
3. Greenville vs. CUW--upset of the week, Greenville wins
4. Lakeland vs. CURF--well, I just don't see an upset happening here, Lakeland wins
