Hi, everyone.

I don't have any details beyond what is in the post, but I ask that you please keep Coach Jeff and the Thorne family in your prayers. His faith is as strong as any person I've ever met, and the power of prayer is real.

Wheaton up 26-0 at the half against the Portuguese All Star team. So far the game looks pretty much like that sounds.

[USee]

Wheaton finished the game against the Portugal All Star team with a 54-0 win. They had a couple defensive touchdowns mixed in. They are in Portugal through the end of the week doing service projects and touring the area. A great experience for these players and some good work in the practices and game to develop the new players who will contribute this fall. Opener @Mt Union is less than 4 months away.

*** The NCC football uniforms, as well as those for all the other sports, may soon require a name change. While the move, as reported in the Chicago Tribune, is nowhere near finalized and requires further discussion and approval the NCC Board, as part of a larger strategic planning process, is strongly considering a potential name change from North Central College to Naperville University!

I suppose it makes sense. Would be interested to see the article if you've got a link. I can't find it anywhere.

Actually saw it in a NC article that referenced "as reported in the Chicago Tribune." Googled but couldn't find any actual article from the Tribune.

They should change it back to Plainfield College.

One of the names reportedly under consideration was North Central College in Naperville.
Wonder where someone got an idea like that? 🤗 😏

It should be "The College of North Central That Is North Central of Absolutely Nothing"

[Patrick Coleman]

While I would agree that the North Central University in Minneapolis is a better fit for the label -- for as long as it manages to remain open -- it can't be said that North Central College is North Central of absolutely nothing. To make sure I wasn't crazy, I took a U.S. map and divided it in thirds, East-Central-West, and half, North-South.

Naperville does fit where North and Central overlap.

[WUPHF]

Plainfield changed the name to Northwestern, a reference to the Northwestern Territory of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan before changing again to North Central.

How about Greenfield U?

How about Greenfield U?

The Lehnen contingent would mount a strong counter proposal. 🤗

... with a nickname change to the Tornadoes.
