Bad news from the Spartans, their QB is out for the season.  Too bad he was a very good QB and ran an offense that really was good.

Congratulations to Mount Ida on their come back win on opening night for their new stadium

had lots of rain here the past two days, field will be muddy and slow.  Temperatures forecasted to be in the 30's.  I will be the Castleton air attack against the Cadets ground game.  Both are very good.

Norwich rolled over Western New England earlier in the season 35-7 but gets little respect in the New England Poll.  Hopefully the Cadets will get a chance in the post season to meet one of the teams. like Maine Maritime or Plymouth.

Cadets win conference championship game 49-14 over Mount Ida.  Freshmen Orwin Etkins runs for 269 yards and five touchdowns.  First league championship ever.  Norwich has been playing football since 1893.

Great game on Saturday, Cadets will host championship game on the 14th.  Gallaudet travels to SUNY Maritime on Friday night.  Maritime wins, they come to Northfield, Gallaudet wins then Mount IDA makes the trip.  Either way should be a fun time.

I believe that the championship game is only for this year. If so then perhaps next year the winner of the conference could meet up with one of the NEFC.

you are correct, the Cadets can not play in the ECAC even if they qualify. Once we get the audo bid, then the league will be able to take part in the ECAC. playoffs.

I would say 14 point to Curry, 6 to Plymouth and even money on Maine.

The Empire 8 teams would be too much for the conference at this point.  The loser of the Curry/Maine game would be great.  We still have four teams in the race for our championship game, Norwich, Suny Maritime, Husson, and Ida.  The games this Saturday very well could determine the regular season champ.

Couple of big games this coming weekend
Suny Maritime vs Norwich
Husson vs Mount IDA

Any quesses as to scores?

It is nice to see Plymouth return to become a power in their conference.  Husson seems to have taken a step back this year.  Perhaps the new coach will just take a little time to get his team and style of play in place.  The ECEF will take some time to become strong, after all there are two first year programs in the league.  Castleton will come on fast, they have poured lots of money into the program and should show some results in just a couple of years.  Anna Maria has solid coaching and given a couple of good recruiting years will do just fine.  Suny Maritime is fast inproving and will challange for the championship this year.  Norwich is putting money into the field and stands which will help with the recruiting, the team is young and should be even better next year.

Nice game today against Anna Maria....The Amcats had a very difficult time playing on the muddy field, and it was muddy.  Just about everyone that dressed played for the Cadets.  For the Amcats they never quit under very difficult conditions.  Next week just might be for the ECFC regular season championship as high scoring Suny Maritime comes to Northfield.

We have approx 2000 students, 1200 are in the corps of Cadets.  The hockey team won the national championship in 2000 and 2003.  We have a great 1400 seat hockey arena.  In football we struggled in the Empire 8.  Oh and the reason many of our non military students come to Norwich for an education.

Those standards only apply at Norwich if you choose to go into the military.
