Huh??? aenaitice? This must be a Machiavellian (lewdogg) move to deceive and confuse us loyal Dutchmen. Pumpkinattack you're the one that brought up 1997 and suggested we "watch the post game video" of some long forgotten alleged brawl. I think your pumpkin may have rotted while still on the vine. I'm just looking for some educated banter about this year's game. Bartman, where are you to add some clarity here? 

There is no video of said brawl I was on the camera that day and shut it off before Mr. Wimberly was accosted by some mean old pumpkin men.

  oh man, it's on like Donkey Kong, BYOB and meet on the hill between the frat and hockey rink, will be the first shoes game I make in about a decade.

Great job as always Frank. Thanks for all that you do.

TU article about Troy QB getting ready for freshmen year with the Dutchmen. What do you all think? Dlip what are you hearing?


(Damn, I really have not posted anything in 5 years, I have been lurking like a boss)

(Edit it was actually only 2)

Was not aware both Springfield and Williams were also in the market for new head coaches, Union probably will have to settle with a local high school coach looking to make the jump and that will be terrible for the near future.

Regarding Union College's commitment to football, I spoke with Audino at the high school team camp in August (seemed in good spirits but tired) and was relayed the current situation in detail from 2 senior staff (long time Coaches all former players would know). Essentially through the 90s Union was supplying the football team with around 3 dozen merit based slots (non scholarship money that they could use to make it easier for players to afford to come to Union). Each one of those could be for almost full or could be split between 2 players, which means that Football could provide tuition assistance for almost the entire Varsity team easily. Over the last decade (so since 2005) those numbers have been consistently reduced and this year they only had 15 partial tuition assistance slots available (explained as they were given a target percentage of no more then 60% of tuition {which is now 60K} could be offered to one player, but if they did find a stud and offered him more assistance then the next 4 guys had to get less so the average assistance remained around the 60% mark). So now the support is barely covering one side of the ball and the impacts of these changes have been slowly taking effect and this year the results of such a terrible policy came to fruition. Never cared for McLaughlin not surprised in the least at how this went down.

good pick up lewdogg, just got a sec to post the update

local radio (AM 810) is reporting that the RPI football coach has just been put on leave, Roger Wyland is on it, no comment from RPI Athletic Department.

going to Newark for Vedder and the boys this evening

So Frank more like,

1)Mt Union
2)Del Val
3)Kean
4)Curry
5)Alfred
6)Dickinson
7)Union
8)Leb Val

actually from what I understand that almost makes the most sense at this point right?

dlip feels this weekends game between Salisbury and the U will be a very telling game for a few reasons:

-If 5-1 Union goes down there and gets ****in manhandeled dlip thinks it will be a very bad sign for the strength of the LL. dlip knows U has not played like the end-all be-all of the conference thus far but at 5-1 (3-0) to go down to the Gulls nest and get vibrated would not look good. Also taking into account the poor SJF loss to Salisbury and the fact that this same Cardinals team ****ing rocked a mediocre IC, the outcome of this game may tell us a lot about what the East is made of. If U wins (which dlip feels they are supposed to with their record and the fact that this is a down Gulls team) then we know that Union is at least "somewhat" for real. Even though Salisbury is down this year with their convincing win over SJF they would definitely be in the upper tear of our region. Any thoughts or is dlip just blabbing out his backside during lunch?

no dlip that is pretty much the way bigdvs sees it as well, Union can lose this game but play really close and still leave the whole East Region looking like a bunch of paper thin pansies or Union can win and kinda reestablish at least some strength in the region. Between the travel and looking ahead to SHOES, focus could be an issue as  well.
