One other thing, if a team such as Coast Guard can come into the nefc and win the division but go 1-9 in their previous league, that shows something. I doubt they've got that much better or maybe it's the competition they are playing now? Does this make sense to anyone else? Good luck this week to all the teams.-Cheers

It's pretty simple... the Liberty League is a dominant power in the East... teams like Hobart, Union, RPI... The NEFC is like a club league compared to the Liberty leage.  The NEFC will not win a playoff game for a long time.   

What is going on with WSC this year?
They're playing a Soph QB that is terrible... Is last years Starter Hurt? And their tailback situation... it seems like they went with a new tailback this week?
They put up 3 points... this used to be a team that ran an exciting spread offense and now they're running a offense from the 50's... anyone on this site have any insight on this team? Where did they find the new O Cord?

Their defense looks pretty solid holding Maine to 12 points after being on the field for most of the game

You just confirmed my opinion on you... You don't know what your talking about!  I did see the game and WSC ran the their shotgun formation b/c they were down 21-7 @ the half and then they fell behind even further 26-7 w/5min left in the 3rd.

Not to mention... what are they doing with the quaterback situation... the #4 was terrible... and the coaching... 2 bombs w/1min left when all they needed was 5-10 yards for another reasonable field goal for the win... the kid made a 47 yarder just minutes prior... but to ask a college kicker to hit a 52 yarder for the win... who does the coach think he has Adam Vinateri?

And Mass Maritime coaching staff almost blew a 26-7 lead... and an option w/1:30 left when WSC had no time outs left... all they had to do was run a dive... take another 30-40 sec off the clock and pin the WSC offense deep in their own end...

Where do they find the coaches in this league?  Mass Maritime def deserved to win... they dominated WSC the entire game... a few lucky broken plays led to big gains for WSC... should be fun watching WSC when they meet the strength of their schedule... I think i'll go watch 2 comp. teams next week... Fitchburg @ Bridgewater... until then

Actually if you actually watch this team play you would have a clue...  "all I was saying is that they have the line to run the ball"... did you look at the Curry stats?  If you call that a running game I don't know what planet your on! Last week they had terrible success running the ball in the first half... and the only time they had success was running right up the gut... which you said the only time they run is when they spread out and run trips... are you talking about last years offense... they aren't running spread anymore! although if the game went into overtime, like it should have I don't think WSC would have won the game...

Goes back to the discussion on coaching in this LEAGUE... Nichols scored a late touchdown w/3min remaining and went for 2 points instead of kicking the extra point... what type of coaching is that?

Do you look at the stats before you comment... I don't care if their 6-4 255... they are a bunch of fat boys... no muscle... no strength...  Either the players suck or the Offensive Cord. is an idiot... b/c last year S. Kasprzak was very good.

Week 1 vs Curry

Bottom line... the coaching staff is terrible!!!

Jeff,

You are definately correct with your judgement of the coaching staff at fram. st, however, framingham isn't the only school in the division facing these same problems.  As a former college D3 player it obvious how BAD the coaching is.  Another great example would be Nichols,MIT, Worcester State..etc!  I don't know why Coach Cullen still has a job... the program has been sliding for the past 3 years... he goes from a modern spread offense to a 1950s I-Formation smash mouth football... the problem is he doesn't have the size to do so!!!

WSC first game against Curry was terrible... and it got worse w/WPI

Until this conference establishes full-time coaches they might as well call it an intramural league!

The rap that WSC didn't adjust to the option is easy to say after the game is over.   Obviously, the game plan was to stop Kavey and stop the QB from pitching it to him.  Which they did.  Kavey had 130 yds, 71 on one run so the WSC defense came thru.   

When you play the option the de-end should hit the qb everyplay and the outside linebacker plays the tailback... The main objective is to knock the qb out of the game or hit him so much his game is effected... Your telling me that allowing a receiver to be behind a cb and  a saftey w/under a minute isn't bad coaching?  If that doesn't qualify then what does?

I read this a lot, but I don't always right stuff, but I got one for ya, how bout ya stop blamin WSC's coaching staff and give credit to the BSC players.  Bascon and Kavey along with the defense all played a sick game, and the quarterback Cam had the best rushing game of his life.  I'm pretty sure that's what won the game not WSC's coaches.

Yes, I agree that BSC players made the plays to win the game... however if the coaching of WSC prepared their players a receiver would have never gotten behind a saftey and a corner... secondly, the option was working all second half and WSC defensive staff never made an adjustment... it would have been a simple adjustment.. hit the frickin qb on every option.

What pisses me off more than anything is Cullen's game plan of playing not to lose! He has the ball w/first and 10 at the 14 yard line with 2min to play in the game and runs the same play 3 times in a row to play for the fieldgoal and 3 point lead... that's what you call playing NOT to LOSE... The way BSC college was throwing the ball deep all day i wasn't very comfortable w/a 3point lead... esp. since the db's from WSC have been getting beat long all game and all year long.

So to answer your question or statement; yes the BSC players made the plays to win the game... but if the WSC coaching staff had their heads out of their asses the BSC players wouldn't have been in a position to win that game!

sully,

If you think the Framingham coaching staff is bad... you should have seen the WSC and BSC game.  The WSC coaching staff should be apologizing to their players for costing them a run at the championship this year.  Coach Cullen must get the vote for the WORST coach of the year based on the talent he had.  He had a chance to score with 2min left in the game... Cullen has played NOT TO LOSE all year instead of playing to WIN... Cullen has no clue how to coach a CHAMPIONSHIP team...but he decides to play for the fieldgoal instead of the win and runs 3 of the same plays in a row.. went up by 3... then BSC throws up a ball and the WSC db wasn't within 10 yards of the receiver... what the hell type of coaching is that?? you have a 3point lead w/40 secs in the game and you let a wide receiver get behind the db and the saftey... know i think the d-cordinator is good... but he didn't make an adjustment all day on the option and the QB scored from the 7  yard line on the option that killed them all day.

Sully i know how you feel now... after watching a good WSC team lose b/c of stupid coaching... congrats to BSC and to their coaching staff for out coaching WSC coaches... I say again WSC coaches should apologize to their players for not holding up their end of the deal.

CULLEN YOU SUCK & should be FIRED for the display i saw today!!

63 Center,

I agree with your pick of WSC over Bridgewater... but i think the score will be a lot higher... i know WSC sucked it up last week in Maine... but I think this one will be a shoot-out... I'd say WSC 49- BSC 35

fitchburg would have to lose thier next two games... and BSC would have to win both of their games

As for Sully being a bad coach... he's a bad coach w/no players... after watching Worcester today it's a shame... b/c they have good athletes... and they had a bad gameplan and terrible play calling...

sully,

the wsc @ maine score was a bit misleading... a big point in the game was in the fourth quater and Maine was up 21-7... WSC rb fumbled the ball as he went into the endzone and the refs called it a touchback... it was a very questionable call... if the refs called that a touch it would have been a whole different ball game... if anyone lost this game it was the WSC coaching staff for their terrible game plan... and the WSC team is still killing themselves w/stupid penalties... none the less hats off to Maine for taking care of business... they have a good running back in #44

As for the division... correct me if I'm wrong... if WSC state manages to beat BSC next week and Fitchburg... a long shot yes... but WSC would win the league...??  If this happened WSC would have 1 in conference loss and fitchburg would have one and then does it go head-to-head??? I would assume.. anyone know

About Curry's D-Line... from what i've heard their d-line might be banged up... The Captain, Bob Rotondo, (DT, 5-10 240) has been playing hurt all season!  Should be a good game... i'm sticking w/my pick and saying that Curry pulls this one out at home

Quote from: retired coach on October 18, 2005, 09:36:59 PM
Just to set the record straight curry only played music during the first game. They still play music but only when play is stopped or timeouts.  I am new to this sight it seems to me a lot of people don't have their facts straight before they sound off.
   

Makes perfect sense... I was at the first game and it was total BS... i know that the coach has no control over whomever controls the radio... but the AD or a event staff should have realized what they were doing... I also threw it out there b/c in a big game the home team will do anything to get an edge... as most of you know i feel that EC will lose... but i like to see a fair game played
