LOL...So your in a league but you dont care if you win it. LOL>>>>>You make LCC look like the pathetic people they are. You win the league, playoffs take care of themselves.That is every teams goal when they start a season.

Winning the league was a goal because it meant we were winning games. The goal during the regular season was to go 10-0. The top teams I wanted to beat and the games I looked forward to most were against DSJ, Ready, and Ada. No one said anything about not caring about winning. Just said that NWC games didn't carry extra importance over beating DSJ or Ready IMO.

Obviously, the goal is to win games and if you have trophies that means you're winning games. But I imagine the reason LCC wanted to join a conference initially was for scheduling and continuity purposes. If you ask the LCC faithful, I would bet they are all just as proud of the 2005 season (9-1, lost in regional championship, independent) as they are the 2006 season (9-1, lost in regional championship, NWC champs)

But did they have scheduling issues before joining the league? That's what i am getting at, and I still don't understand being in a conference, and Not caring about winning it.

How can you be 9-1 and lose in a regional championship Did they have a shortened season? My math skills must suck.

Rd2.....

I think the LCC/DSJ football game has really been good for both schools......this game has created even a greater rivalry between the schools........heck, we will continue to schedule the Birds!!!!!

I think it's pretty clear that it was referring to the regular season. Both teams were 11-2 including the playoffs. Your post is pretty irrelevant to the point of my post though.

They always had 10 varsity games, but there was always a lot of uncertainty about future years and always a lack of JV, freshman, and junior high games.

Perhaps I used a poor choice of words. I cared about winning every single game. I was merely trying to point out that I cared just as much about beating DSJ as I did beating any NWC team. It was in response to the poster who said LCC players wouldn't have anything to play for anymore.

The feelings are mutual flounder. DSJ is a model football program and school. Lots of great friends who went there.

Guess common sense is just lost on some people.

LCC should just say the hell with the NWC - we aren't playing you - we're done. Still don't know why LCC AND the NWC agreed to keep each other on the schedule. NWC should have said goodbye, and good luck. Now LCC should just say we don't want any part of you if you don't want us in the conf.

LCC should just schedule the brutal schedules and just make it a state run or bust kind of thing. The amount of exposure it would give LCC for playing top teams in the state in basketball/football would surely give kids a lot more schollys and it would bring in more talent. If your accused of recruiting then just do it and make state runs with kids. Don't try and set it on the back burner and say OH NO WE DON'T DO THAT.. LCC faithful don't care as long as their programs are winning, and since joining the NWC LCC sports have thrived. Take it to the next level - we're going to schedule top powers in the state, go for state championships - join us or get out of our way and screw the NWC.

Keeping LCC/NWC on the schedule to relieve the burden of scheduling is insulting to LCC and the NWC.

If I'm the NWC I don't care what they can or can't get done in a year. Everyone wanted them out then let them go. Easy to replace one game for a particular sport if your the NWC, and Since LCC isn't in the league anymore, screw em. Find your own schedule. Why does the NWC care what LCC does if they don't want them in the league. An exit plan they asked for? That's obvious. Why did the NWC oblige?

Were the contracts done on yearly basis?

That still doesn't make sense, but oh well.lol

[whatdoiknow]

contracts out of conference are normally done in a two or four year cycle

That's what I was thinking, so I guess I didn't get the scheduling contunity part.

It is time for everyone to put the hard feelings aside and move forward. Lima Central Catholic brings a lot to the table and should be someone Lima area teams want to play in all sports. In the smaller divisions if you can compete and defeat LCC in basketball or football you have one of the best small school teams in the state. The NWC teams also bring much to the table. It is and will continue to be a very good small school conference. Winning the conference title gives you the opportunity to play for championships at the state level. Personally, i am of the opinion that the bvc and nwc get a bad wrap because of the dominance of the mac in the small divisions. The Mccomb's, Leipsic's Hardin Northern, Columbus Grove, delphos jeff, Bluffton and Ada's have often given the mac their best competition on the way to dominating state title performances.

Lima Central Catholic and the Northwest Conference were never a good fit because of the demographics of the communities. All involved were set up to fail. Those in a position of power came to their senses and corrected the matter in a way that was amacable to all parties. In our information driven society many on these message boards toss jabs and incite others in an effort to get all involved to defend the decision to part ways. Of course Lima Central Catholic fans are going to down play the importance of playing in the conference. basically they were voted out without an offical vote. Naturally, those remaining school will defend the decision and take offense to those who suggest the conference will crumble without LCC.

Good post.

Where will LCC go for their league? MAC? WBL? Independent? It really bothers me that a team is thrown out of a league because they are good. The NWC is a great league. I guess I do not understand. Please do NOT blame it on a coach. Bob S. was always a class guy at LCC.

They will be independent like they were before they joined the NWC. I would be really shocked if anybody allows them in to their conference. It was already a big enough shock when the NWC allowed them in.

They've already been invited to join a conference.
