Messages - Old NEFC fan

Pat,

I'm confused as to how you can say Curry would have a better shot at respectability if it weren't for the coaching change. They are 8-0 and have retained more than half of the previous staff. Yes they are a young team but right now are playing better than they have in the past. Their Defense if nationally ranked in most categories. It looks like Curry has built on top of the foundation that Steve Nelson developed.

Yes the NEFC has a long way to go to be able to compete with the New York, New Jersey and PA schools on a regular basis but it appears the coaching change at Curry hasn't negatively effected that program one bit.

Adding Coast Guard and Plymouth State to the league will only help in the long run by improving the overall level of competition. As for playing outside of the league, I'm in agreement that it would only help the league from a competitive standpoint. However I'm not an AD who has an athletic budget to consider and taking 60-80 players, coaches and trainers on an out of state road trip certainly does cost a lot of money.

I would also like to add a special thanks to you for hosting this wonderful web site that gives players, coaches, fans and family members of D3 programs around the country a venue for their programs. Keep up the great work.

I saw the WSC/Curry game and I guess NCAAfootball67 and I saw different things. I didn't see vulnerable, undisciplined or lazy. I did see two teams that had some execution issues which is not surprising at this point in the season. I also thought that Curry won the game on conditioning as they seemed more determined and focused in the 4th quarter. I also thought Curry's defense looked very good.

The league will have it's usual strong teams. Bridgewater, Fitchburg and Coast Guard will be strong. Endicott is well coached and will be a contender. Curry will be in the hunt with UMD always strong. It will be interesting to see who else steps up. Nichols is well coached and has their QB back. WNEC will be better. MIT is always under talented but well coached and very disciplined. The Maritimes should be better and Plymouth will be the unknown.

At this level whoever remains the healthiest should come out on top. Not many teams in this league can go very deep on the depth chart without a considerable drop off in talent.

All in all it's great to be back watching NEFC games on weekends. Good Luck to everyone this year.
