FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[markerickson]

#1 North Central relies on IL student-athletes. #2 Bethel relies on MN.  Lowly NPU has now opted to recruit from FL and GA. I wonder if those recruits from the southeast will succeed in the classroom like the players recruited by Rooker's predecessor who found success with recruits from the L.A. area and AS.

I don't know the last time I saw an NCC O-Line get dominated like they are today. Absolutely no push in the run game.

First time using CCIW network... big fan as I am jumping between games.

With some UI/UX work wonder if we could get a multi box view. Would be a d3 fans dream right now to have some of these games all on one screen.

That said, it's now 27-7 and the passing game is rolling.

The game felt way closer than the final score. I thought Bethel controlled the line of scrimmage for the majority of the game. The heat may have definitely been a factor. NCC has incredible depth, especially at the skill positions. Obviously, not having Rundell was a huge loss for Bethel. I'll post some more observations tomorrow, but it was a great win to start the season over a very good team.

And I scared my cat so much when we blocked that kick...

Should be set up for an inter conference 1 v 2 in a few weeks! Amazing!

[MUC 2008]

Well done Wheaton and NCC. A very deserving victory! And many thanks to the Wheaton announcers and video crew - first class all the way. Very polished, very knowledgeable, very professional. Loved every moment of today's broadcast and game, except for the result, naturally! ☺️

Big day for the CCIW.

NCC perimeter guys shined. DB's played really well and Wilson looked sharp.

Thought Bethel needed to commit to the run earlier. Got too cute in the redzone, but a lot to build on.

That kicker is a cheat code!

Wheaton, what a way to climb "the Mount" ... fun to see how it all plays out.

So much for only 1 team from the CCIW might make the playoffs. That got put to bed quick.

Was at Benedetti-Wehrli today, obviously enjoyed the outcome. Went into the game not sure what I was expecting, then once I saw the touchdown on NCC's second offensive play was immediately confident that everything was going to be fine. I didn't expect the margin to be as wide as it was, even with Bethel getting the garbage time score.

And then I ended up catching the end of the game that was played eight miles to the north. I don't know about anyone else, but I got 2019 quarterfinal against St. John's vibes from that ending, except this time it was Wheaton getting the benefit of it all.

It was a good day in the CCIW on the whole.
