Boxer gave a good rundown of Maine Maritime...is there anyone that can provide the same for Montclair?

Alright I was dead wrong on that one. What are these NCAA requirements for stadiums? Is there a link to the full list somewhere on this site?

I believe it has to do with seating capacity.

Here is the link to the Preliminary rounds hosting manual.

Thanks for the link

It will be a while before any NEFC team hosts an NCAA game. With the completion of Maritime's new stadium it would have been a good year to host a post season game. It's too bad it was the Boyd's year to host the conference championship.

Did Curry put in for an ECAC game?

I know they aren't playing MHB but I was asking about the possibility more than anything because that was the rumor the past couple days. After looking back at your predictions I can see that it wasn't labeled "East." I'm not really sure why I got it in my head that it was regionalized.

I played in the nefc and regardless of what people think the league is gettng better. I graduated from MEM and would love to see them start playing a strnger ooc schedule. (husson would be a good local start)

I for one don't care about travel time or first round matchups but how are teams from TX in the east bracket? The result would be worse but I could understand if they were matched up with mount union in the first round since they are somewhere close to the east region

Congrats to Maritime on pulling out a great last second win. I'm sure the experience of last years championship game helped them out coming into this game. I wish I could have made it down to see it cause it sounds like I missed a great game. Good luck representing the NEFC in the NCAA tourny.

Do you think curry gets an at large bid? I'm sure their recent success in the first round will help their cause.

Not trying to imply that Plymouth wouldn't have won if he remained in the game but Maine Maritime's starting QB was hurt on the third series. He was replaced by a Freshman who struggled, which you would expect from a kid being thrown into his first pressure situation of his career (in a conference championship no less) The tripple option is dependent the quarterback making the proper reads in an instant. Any delay greatly hinders the effectiveness of the offense.

Boxer:

The 2 DE's that graduated are both huge hit to the team. In addition to that 2 multiple year starting DB's graduated and 2 linebackers aren't with the team (1 to graduation the other a would be Sophomore who didn't return to MMA) The sophomore linebacker will hurt in years to come as he started every game as a freshman and was turning into a major force on the defense.

Boxer: While your statements about Maine Maritime are correct for the offense (lost 2 starters from last years team) their defense is in more of a reloading year after losing 6 starters off last years team.

Sloppy game by the MMA offense, putting the ball on the ground 4 times. PSU's offensive line played great all day long opening up just enough space for PSU's 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense.

Represent the NEFC well PSU

I thought he only had the flu last week? If thats the case I highly doubt he would miss a game a week later, let alone the conference championship.

The visitor stands are intact but not very big.

The NEFC title game alternates between Bogan and Boyd. Conference record has no impact on who hosts

From the MMA website

"Maine Maritime Football Takes On Plymouth State in the NEFC Title Game on Saturday at 12 pm on Ritchie Field! The gates will open at 9am.

Adult tickets will be $5 per person while student and youth tickets will be $3 each."


Just a reminder, a storm destroyed the bleachers so there is minimal seating. Bring a lawn chair or be prepared to stand. There is also a Best Western in Bucksport (15-20 minutes from campus) but I'm not sure how much it is to stay the night.
