Looks like they will be starting the season with home games against Albion and St. Norbert.

I saw that Charlie Drewek moved from DC at St. Norbert to DC at Concordia chi. 
Interesting move going from the Best Defense in the conference to the worst. I'm curious to see how much the Cougars can improve in his first year running that D.

 the Lakefront Bowl race will be really interesting to follow with all the head to head matchups in the last 3 weeks.

Quote from: joelmama on July 11, 2024, 09:41:37 AMIt might at some point require scheduling some of the D2 programs in OH/PA to fill in a spot with a quality opponent.

How would scheduling a D2 opponent affect the strength of schedule calculations for the playoff?

The Lindy's D3 preview had 2 NACC Preseason All Americans.
Jalen Jordan DL from Aurora on the first team and
Brian Pitt DL from Benedictine on the 2nd team. Congrats to Both.

What other players in the conference could you see making a run at All American or All Region this season?

Quote from: Gregulator316 on April 16, 2024, 10:50:11 AMNorth Central @ Aurora stands out, but I'm excited for Benedictine @ Loras in a night game after last years back and forth battle ended 42-41.

That game was quite exciting last year! I am hoping for more this year. I can tell you that Loras lost a lot to graduation and the transfer portal but returns their starting QB. How is BU on that front? I'm not sure why the game is in Dubuque once again but am excited anytime the Duhawks get to play in the Bowl under the lights!

As a new fan of the program I can't speak too confidently on the players they lost, but they seem to be returning some key contributors. And in my bias opinion they have a strong class of recruits and transfers coming in. I think BU could have some success this season.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on March 12, 2024, 12:38:30 PMI think we might have broken that Northland news on X last night. I hadn't seen anything about it until someone tipped me off via DM.

I would be curious what is happening over at Eureka College. I know most of their returning started transferred over to Ben U. They could be the next school to close with the recent departure of longtime football coach Kurt Barth and others it sounds!

Eureka has hired a new coach and are actively recruiting. They hired Randy Starks who was a 2 time pro bowl D lineman. Possibly trying to emulate the success Aurora has had with a former NFL player at the helm.  Hopefully they can get the program moving in the right direction.
